"Kate was truly the best and captured memories I didn't even know I wanted to have" - Kelsey, Bride

We pay attention to what others might miss

We pay attention to the energy, the relationships,

and the quiet in-between moments that make a day feel like yours.

We read the room, move with intention,

and know when to quietly step back or gently guide.

So your gallery holds what you expected,

and what you never even realized was unfolding.

LET THE MOMENTS HAPPEN

After delivering a gallery, Kate always smiles when she learns which images her couples are drawn to.

It’s almost always something quiet, captured through patience and intuition.

The most meaningful parts of the day aren’t staged—they unfold naturally.

Kate and Tony will guide you when you need it and step back when it matters, so you can fully experience the day as it’s happening.

Because the images you’ll come back to are the ones where you were truly present, taking in how you got here.

Tony and Kate will honor those moments without interrupting them, while making sure they’re preserved for you.

CAPTURING WHAT YOU VALUE

Here’s the truth: We’re not wired for small talk.

We’re drawn to depth—the real dynamics, histories, and relationships that make a wedding more than an event. That’s what keeps us grounded in this work: the chance to witness people honestly and document them with intention.

Before your wedding, we take time to understand you—your priorities, your people, your pace. Every couple is different, so our approach is personal, guided by one principle: empathy first.

Combined we have 21 years of experience and more than 300 weddings, we bring a calm, steady presence to every part of the day. Our goal is simple: to create imagery that feels true, lived-in, and deeply reflective of who you are.

I’M PART OF YOUR A-TEAM

Your experience matters just as much as the images themselves.

It’s not only the wedding day, but the entire season leading up to it—planning, dreaming, and bringing a vision to life together.

The best work is always collaborative. With your planner leading the design and logistics, we’re able to stay focused on what matters most—capturing the feeling and rhythm of the day as it unfolds.

Kate works closely with your planner so everything moves with ease, allowing you to be fully present in it.

The best art is

made in collaboration.

MEET TONY, MY PARTNER

Tony has a background in film and a degree in electronic media, which gives him a cinematic instinct for storytelling. He brings a calm presence to a wedding day and has an eye for the in-between moments that make a gallery feel layered and alive.

He’s also the kind of person who genuinely enjoys a spreadsheet, which turns out to be incredibly helpful when organizing family formals and keeping the day flowing with ease.

We both share a deep love for film, storytelling, and cinema, and that influence naturally shapes the way we document a wedding, creating imagery that feels both intentional and emotionally honest.

Our Real Life Meet-cute

Photographing Weddings
Led Me to My Person.

Picture this – it’s 2018. Kate’s photographing a wedding, Tony’s a guest, and somehow we leave at the same time… parked right next to each other.

Three days later, we grab coffee
with no idea it would turn into this.

Now we’re married, living in historic Ellicott City with our cat, Magritte. When we’re not photographing weddings, you’ll usually find us chasing live music (Kate dancing like she’s in the front row, Tony politely swaying), watching films we’ll inevitably talk about for days afterward, or listening to Tony enthusiastically chat sports with anyone who’s interested.

There’s something about finding your person,
and realizing they were never really a stranger at all.

Inquire

I’d love to hear about the energy you’re envisioning for your day.
