You don’t want wedding photos that are basic and boring

You need a photographer you can trust with your wildly precious day

01

You crave creative, fun and bold photos – not cliché images that lack personality, and don't feel representative of you.

02

You don’t want to be stuck posing instead of partying, missing out on your own wedding day experience.

03

You aren't interested in grainy, trendy images that are muted in color & look like your grandma's wedding photos.

04

You want to feel like your best selves in front of the camera, with freedom to enjoy your day like you deserve.

We help couples like you embrace your wedding day so you have no regrets

Photography Planning Guide

Your wedding shouldn’t feel like a *photoshoot.* Let’s talk. 

You want your incredible wedding photos to be creative, candid, and exude love.

But right now, it’s hard to know who you can trust to document your one and only – wildly precious – day.
We get it, we’ve been there too.

We’re Autumn and Griffin, wife + husband documentary style wedding photographers (former photojournalists) based in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Only after planning our own wedding, did we realize the most meaningful parts were the connections, energy, and unexpected moments – all the things you can’t actually plan for.

That’s why we take a documentary approach that honors your experience and keeps you present, so you can fully embrace your day.

With over 25 years of combined experience in the photography industry and 100+ weddings photographed, you can count on us to bring expertise, passion and creativity to every wedding we document.

Let’s celebrate your love, fully, with no regrets.

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 value your experience above all else. What truly matters are the people you care about and the memories you’re about to create together which is why you deserve the gift of being fully present with the people you love most. Embrace the fun, emotional and unexpected moments that are filled with meaning and depth. And because it’s so rare to have everyone gathered in one place, you need your day captured in a way that honors your experience so you can meet the moments that matter most.

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.
