When it comes to documenting your elopement or intimate wedding, finding the right photo and video team makes all the difference. You want someone who gets your vision, communicates well, and keeps things running smoothly. For many couples, that’s where a husband and wife photographer and videographer duo like us comes in.
We’re Angie and Lee, a husband and wife photographer and videographer duo based in Northern California. We’ve built our business around helping couples have relaxed, adventure-filled days with photography and videography that reflects their story. Before we settled in Northern California, we lived on the road with our two kids, touring the country in an RV while playing music and exploring every National Park we could. Along the way, we fell in love with documenting not only our own adventures but the experiences of other couples too. Today, we offer photography, videography, officiant services, live music, and elopement planning. We do it all as a team, and we think that’s a huge part of what makes the experience better for the couples we work with.
If you’re deciding between separate vendors or a husband and wife photo and video duo, here are a few benefits to keep in mind.
When you’ve worked side by side for years (and lived in an RV for ten of those!), you develop a kind of rhythm that doesn’t need a lot of explanation. We know how to communicate without interrupting your ceremony or taking over your day. We divide up the tasks naturally and check in with each other throughout the day to make sure nothing gets missed. It keeps things moving without stress.
There’s no learning curve when we show up to a wedding or elopement. We already know how each other works, and that translates into a smoother experience for you.
One of the biggest perks of hiring a photo and video duo who work together full-time is that your final gallery and film will actually match. Our editing styles complement each other. Our approach to storytelling is aligned. We’re thinking about how the photos and videos will come together from start to finish, and we shoot with that in mind.
You won’t have to worry about clashing styles or miscommunication between separate vendors. We handle it all, and we make sure the end result feels cohesive and natural.
If you’re planning an elopement or small wedding, keeping your vendor list short helps keep the experience simple. When you hire us, we’re your one point of contact for both photography and videography. That means fewer emails, fewer invoices, and less back and forth as you get closer to your date.
If you need help choosing your ceremony time, scouting a location, or building out your timeline, we can help with all of that. You don’t have to explain your vision to two different teams. We’re already on the same page and ready to make it happen.
Together, we offer a full range of services that go beyond traditional documentation. Angie is your photographer, planner, and timeline expert. Lee is your videographer, musician, and officiant. We’re able to personalize your experience in a way that most photo and video teams can’t.
Want a first dance in the middle of the forest? Lee can play a song live. Need help with permits or location research? Angie’s got it covered. From planning your day to creating your elopement film, we handle it all with intention and care.
We’ve found that most of our couples are looking for an elopement that’s both meaningful and laid back. They care about having a fun experience and want to work with people who feel more like friends than vendors. As a married couple ourselves, we get it. We know how much it matters to feel comfortable and supported on your elopement day.
Since we do everything together, we’re able to build strong connections with the couples we work with. That helps us tell your story in a way that feels real and natural. We’re not strangers showing up with cameras. We’re people who truly care about giving you a day that feels like you.
If one of us needs to switch roles for a moment or jump in to help the other, we do. We’ve worked in all kinds of conditions and terrain, and we know how to support each other to make sure you never have to worry about a thing. That’s the kind of flexibility that only comes with working this closely, for this long.
No matter where you’re eloping or what the day looks like, you can trust that we’ll be ready for anything… and we’ll handle it as a team!
Choosing a husband and wife photographer and videographer duo means choosing a team that’s already aligned, experienced, and excited to make your day incredible. We’re here to guide you through it all, from planning to the final gallery.
