you're not the only one in love around here!

Meet rachel + JohN

college sweethearts,

married for 20+ years

Portrait of photographers during golden hour

Welcome! We're so excited to introduce ourselves so you can get to know us better!


While our company name cites only one of us, we work as a duo in love, life, and now business. John joins for weddings that are 8+ hours, and brings his own ideas and creativity to the table!


We met as teenagers and have been together since we were 18 and 19 years old. It feels like yesterday, and forever ago, at the same time! We have three amazing children who are 20, 17, and 12. We also have a second boy, but he has 4 paws and a massive amount of curly fur and his name is Mac! He's everyone's bestest pal.

Together, we will treat your wedding day with the reverence it deserves. After all, we know how special it is.. Back then, we had a film-only photographer (digital was still quite new!) and all these years later, it is the only thing that truly remains from that day. We love working together to provide you with the memories of your first day as a married couple, and we hope to get to know you soon!

All along there was some

Invisible string

Tying you to me?"
