The most memorable wedding photos come from the moments you never planned for
“YOU. GUYS. WHAT THE F***?!? THESE ARE AMAZING!! Holy sh*t, you guys have us gushing all over again. Your photography captured every bit of the perfection we felt that day and we couldn't be any more grateful."
“Our wedding photos are honestly some of my most prized possessions. They’re amazing at capturing the emotion, beauty, candidness and everything in between. I truly can’t say enough good things about these freaking photos. Like, WOW.”
“I seriously have no words but we are blown away! These wedding photos are gorgeous, moving, intense, fun, dynamic and sweet. Every photo they delivered was a work of art. We were blown away by their attention to detail, mastery of lighting, and their ability to capture the mood and emotion of each moment so perfectly.”
“Not sure how we landed the best photographers in Colorado! Their energy and good vibes made our photo shoot in the mountains so memorable! Everyone back home in Ohio could not believe the photos! I still have random people coming up to me raving about the photos they caught a glimpse of online.”
“In a time of sad, beige wedding photography, Autumn & Griffin's vivid work stands above the rest. She was incredibly kind, listened to what was important to us, and executed flawlessly. Her incredible artistry captured moments we'll treasure forever.”
"They're so easy going and fun to work with on top of being compassionate, patient, understanding, communicative and above all else UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED! The photos speak for themselves."
"Their communication, execution, and everything in between were top notch. We worked through the pandemic, multiple delays and other changes with zero issues. We can't speak highly enough about them as not only photographers, but people."
“Our experience with Autumn + Griffin was simply too phenomenal to put stars to. They were able to capture the emotions beneath the photos, something we were desiring most from our photos. BOOK THEM. You will not find better photographers to capture your day.”
"After falling in love with their pictures and style online, we were so excited to work with Autumn and Griffin - and we couldn’t have made a better decision for our most special day. They are truly incredible photographers and caught the most beautiful behind the scenes moments."

Why choose documentary style wedding photographers?
1. Ditch mediocre photography
The wedding photos you’ve seen are all starting to blend together, but you’re looking for something beyond the ordinary. You’re looking for images that evoke emotion and fit your vision for the day you’ve been dreaming about. You want images that are just as one-of-a-kind as your wedding will be — capturing the raw, unscripted moments that documentary style wedding photography prioritizes so you can remember your day as it really was.
2. Choose moments over details
Your wedding day is about more than just perfect details — it’s about celebrating your love and reveling in the moments that give you butterflies. You want to let go of anything that doesn’t align with your vision and focus on being at the heart of your celebration. Prioritize authenticity over perfection, meaning over expectations, and make space for the joy and connection that will define your day.
3. Embrace experience, not perfection
You can have the best photos (and experience) possible
You want to feel like your best selves — letting the joy and excitement of the day shine through in your pictures, effortlessly. Savor your signature cocktail before the bar runs out, hit the dance floor with your friends, and fully live it up!
And you can trust that all of your most memorable moments will be documented. Moments like wiping away tears as you speak heart-to-heart with your partner during your vows or catching your nephew with his finger in the cake before you’ve had a chance to cut it. And let’s not forget about grandma doing splits on the dance floor and wowing everyone.
Yes, we’ve seen it all, and we can tell you it’s all worth remembering. The photos that really matter will bring you back to the way the whole experience felt and those images will have the power to bring you to tears, years from now.
Ready to be our next happy couple?!
