Meet the Photographers
Justin & Shania
Before each wedding Justin and I pray in the car for our couple. We pray for them, their families, and for Justin and I to capture our couple's celebration through kindness, excellence, and creativity. Working together photographing weddings is one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. The friendships and experiences we create last far beyond the wedding day.
why full day photography?
You might not realize the importance of full day wedding photography. We didn't either. When my husband and I got married we booked a 4-hour package and ended up not getting any pictures of getting ready or first dances.
Even though we loved the pictures, we were disappointed that no one captured those other moments. That's the difference. We want to capture YOUR day, the moments big and small, the unplanned first looks with a parent, the tears from grandpa during speeches, first dances, we want to tell your LOVE STORY.
We didn't know that weddings almost ALWAYS go longer than expected...
how do we accomplish this?
A Full day of wedding coverage is KEY to capturing pre-wedding preparations, ceremony, reception, and everything in-between.
As a husband-and-wife TEAM, we pride ourselves capturing your wedding day in its entirety. This is accomplished through having two photographers, constant communication and assistance with timeline planning.
dances
The first dances between bride and groom, mother, father are precious moments that only happen on special occasions.
speeches
A special time that often evokes a lot of laughter and tears. Moments you don't want to miss looking back on.
Getting ready & first looks
Moments leading up to the aisle are so fun! And first looks with husband, siblings, parents are ones you don't want to miss out on. You'll cherish those pictures for years.

Testimonials
Working with Justin and Shania was magical! They did an amazing job photographing my wedding this year and I couldn’t be happier with the process and results! Throughout the time leading up to the wedding we video chat quite a few times to ensure they knew what we were wanting. During the wedding they were a wonder to work with! So many detail shots and creative poses. I genuinely could not be happier with my experience working with them! Thank you Shania and Justin for the amazing experience!

Testimonials
"My husband and I booked Shania and Justin to shoot our wedding day and they are absolutely the most kind and patient photographers that you will ever meet! Justin and Shania are very knowledgeable at taking photos. They helped us posed, and never once leaving us confused of what to do next for a photo or never once feeling awkward. They gave us very clear directions and always made my husband and I feel like we were on top of the world! They were only supposed to shoot our wedding for up to 8 hours but ended up staying for 9-9.5 hours because they wanted to stay and take more photos, never pushed to leave earlier once. They made everything run by so smoothly and I thank them so much!"
