ONE OF A KIND
If you haven’t figured it out by now, there’s more than one KIND of wedding photo.
There are styled shoot photos, with airbrushed perfection.
There are I bought a DSLR last week photos, which look great until you try to blow one up to go over the mantel.
There are shot list photos, where your favorite grandma is b.a.r.e.l.y. visible behind the row of second cousins your parents insisted on inviting.
For me, that’s a big “nope.”
YOU Get to decide what’s important to you for your wedding photos.
If you want to remember your emotions …
…want natural, magazine-worthy black-and-white shots…
…want to have fun taking your photos because your photographer feels more like a friend than a vendor…
My team and I have your back.
And you’d be a dream Joseph Nance couple.
Make photos your favorite part of your wedding day
THAT IS, IF YOU NOTICE US TAKING THEM).
We’re photographers (the art gallery, journalistic type) who happen to love destination weddings.
We take an immersive, participatory approach to capturing those photos that will make you say, “Oh my gosh, I’m so glad they got that one.”
Here’s what we’ll do for you:
CATCH THE BREATHTAKING IMAGES YOU WANT HANGING IN YOUR LIVING ROOM FOR YEARS TO COME.
CREATE AN EXPERIENCE WITHIN YOUR WEDDING BY READING THE ROOM—HITTING THE DANCE FLOOR TO LIVEN UP THE PARTY, OR FLOATING ON THE PERIMETER TO AVOID CREATING DISTRACTIONS.
PROVIDE RELIEF WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A MODEL IN ORDER TO LOOK LIKE ONE IN YOUR PHOTOS

QUALITY IMAGES
We believe you deserve handcrafted photos & albums you can pass down for generations.
LEICA CAMERA PURISTS
We use the best cameras in the world to capture your images. Why? Because a lot of “fancy” cameras these days are actually no clearer than a smartphone camera. And you should be able to tell your wedding photos apart from all the others on your camera roll.

WE TAKE PHOTOS WITH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
HERE’S HOW WE DO THAT
Develop trust.
We believe that great images come from earned trust. From the day you Google “Best Wedding Photographers in Antigua Guatemala” to the day we take your photos, we’ll use every interaction to get to know you, show our cards, and convince you that you get to relax when we take your photos— fancy posing optional.
STAY IN THE MOMENT.
On your wedding day, let go of the details—knowing we have your photos handled. We’ll quietly catch the in-between, the unplanned, and the emotions you didn’t know to expect. When it comes time for pictures of just you, we’ll help you feel relaxed and joyful—like you feel in your best moments.
REMEMBER FOR A LIFETIME.
Several of our wedding packages include individually produced heirloom albums, delivered with a handpicked selection of photos that tell the story of your day while evoking its emotions. It’s a piece that will rest on your coffee table for years to come—making sure you get to relive your day and tell your story anytime you want.
