Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s make this part easy. Here are answers to the questions we hear all the time—because transparency, good vibes, and real support matter to us as much as they matter to you.
YES, WE’RE INCLUSIVE & LGBTQ+ AFFIRMING
As a queer couple, inclusivity isn’t just a buzzword for us—it’s the cornerstone of everything we do. This is a space where you’re not only safe to be you, but welcome to feel like your fullest, most celebrated self.
We know what it’s like to navigate the journey of self discovery, the shifts, the in-betweens, the becoming. We hold space for all of it with care, warmth, and respect.
This space is for our straight friends too. We know you’ve walked your own winding path, awkward teen years, growing pains, and big life pivots. We’re here to honor your story and the amazing person you’ve become.
We’re pro immigrant, pro queer, and we know that Black Lives Matter.
WE CREATE A PERSONALIZED APPROACH, EVERY TIME
OK this might sound cringy, but hear us out: every love story really is one of a kind (yeah, we said it). That’s exactly why our very first step is getting to know you. Are you introverts or extroverts? Going for big, bold energy or something more low-key and cozy? Who’s invited? Only you? Perfect! Everyone? Let’s goooo!
Valerie and I care deeply about your story—your quirks, your dynamics, your vibe—and we’re here to make sure it all shines through in your photos. This isn’t about cookie-cutter shots. It’s about capturing you, as you are.
It all starts with one easy convo. From there, we take what we learn and turn it into a visual love letter that feels undeniably you.
MAKE YOU FEEL AMAZING, CAUSE YOU ARE
OK, trigger warning: school photos. Yep, we all hated them. And if you didn’t… seriously, how did you survive? We’re here to heal that childhood trauma with fun, relaxed sessions that feel more like hanging out than posing.
Valerie will probably tell a joke (it’s never actually funny), I’ll burst into laughter, and then you will too. And just like that, boom—a real, beautiful moment, captured without forced smiles or awkward poses.
We’re not about those stiff 1970s photo studio vibes. We’re about making you feel like you’re chatting with your best friend or curled up with your partner watching your favorite show.
By the end of the session, we promise you’ll say, “Wait, that was actually so much fun!” And maybe, just maybe, you’ll feel a little sad it’s over. (Psst… it doesn’t have to be—we’re always down for more photo dates.)
WE WILL SHARE ALL THE GOOD STUFF
We believe in delivering every meaningful moment. Every photo is intentional, candid, and true to you. For weddings, you’ll typically receive 50 to 100 edited images per hour of coverage. Each one is chosen with care so your gallery tells the real story of your day, with no filler, just the moments that matter.
Are you interested in family or couples photography? We’ll ensure we capture a variety of angles, groupings, and poses so that each image looks and feels unique.
TEXAS, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, AND MORE! WE TRAVEL TO YOU.
Valerie grew up in Texas, and could probably map out Dallas-Fort Worth with her eyes closed. Our love for the mountains takes us to the Ozarks in Arkansas every other week. In 2022, we said our own “I dos” in San Francisco, so trust us when we say we get the magic of finding the perfect place.
In just eight months, we clocked over 20,000 miles (not even counting flights or our South Africa trip), all in the name of love and adventure. Along the way, we’ve built a go-to list of trusted vendors, hidden gems, and local favorites to help make your wedding or elopement stress free and unforgettable.
Whether you’re tying the knot in Dallas, sneaking away to the Ozarks, or celebrating oceanside in California, we bring our experience, energy, and location know how straight to you. And, we do it all with minimal travel fees since celebrating love shouldn’t break the bank.
WE’RE FLEXIBLE AND PROBLEM-SOLVERS
From securing permits to preparing for every “what if,” we’ve got you covered. And if we don’t already have the answer, trust that Valerie will be elbows-deep in research within minutes, because your peace of mind is part of our job.
We handle the weird rules, the logistics, and all the little details you shouldn’t have to stress over. Need tips for your hike? We’ve got a list. Extra water? Already packed. Forgot an officiant? No worries—Valerie’s ordained. With multiple planning calls and our business number a text away, we’re reachable day and night.
This is your adventure, and we’re here to make sure it’s seamless, meaningful, and unforgettable.
