Your story is worth telling, and we are passionate about capturing it—preserving the emotions, love, and joy of your most cherished moments in timeless images. These photographs aren’t just pictures; they are the history of your family, a legacy to be passed down for generations.
We’re Laura and Matthew, the husband-and-wife team behind the lens. Our love for photography began as children, flipping through old family albums, captivated by the memories they held. Now, as parents to four little ones on earth and two in heaven, we understand the depth of love, the beauty of marriage, and the sacredness of family. That’s why we are devoted to capturing the joy and love that make life so extraordinary—whether it’s your wedding day, a family session, or a milestone worth celebrating.
Whatever we photograph, we want to tell your story in an extraordinary way. We believe marriage is a lifelong mission, and it’s our honor to serve your family—not just on your special day, but for years to come.
Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, we joyfully serve the greater Cincinnati area, Dayton, Louisville, Lexington, Indianapolis, Columbus, Nashville, and beyond!

Laura is the lead photographer and she received her first camera at the age of 4 (think Fisher Price 1990's film camera). She has a weakness for the smell of campfires, cheesecake and chai lattes and she’s always down for a kitchen dance party with her kids. She also knows most Disney and Veggie Tales songs by heart.

Matthew owns over 50 bowties (never pre-tied), thinks peanut butter should go on everything and is all about collecting points for travel! He’s also a big fan of bourbon and growing his ever expanding whiskey collection.

These three keep us on our toes. They bring us so much joy with their unique personalities. Our oldest is our social butterfly, our middle is our horse lover and our youngest is our sweet baby! God has blessed us with these little ones and it's a honor to be their parents.
OUR KIDS

Laura and Matthew love to go on memorable trips with the kids, both domestic and international. Matthew is the snackpacker and travel planner extraordinaire, and Laura leads the charge in making sure everything is packed and ready to go! Someday they hope to see all 50 states and 7 continents, visit the Holy Land, go on a safari in Africa, and hike in Patagonia.

favorite moments
ON TO THE NEXT —
We love the hustle and bustle of a wedding day morning. Everyone is excitedly getting ready, the smell of hairspray and perfume is in the air! One of our favorite moments to capture is the parents of the bride and groom helping their child get ready for their wedding. Whether it’s putting the veil in her daughter’s hair or adjusting his son’s bowtie, these are tender moments and we make it a priority to capture them.
GETTING READY
OUR FAVORITE
WEDDING DAY MOMENTS
ON TO THE NEXT —
The big reveal! Whether it’s the bride and groom or the bride and her father, this moment is charged with emotion. It’s incredibly touching and Laura usually has tears in her eyes by the end of it! We allow the first look to unfold organically before us, making sure to capture all of the raw and real emotion and allowing the couple to just soak each other in.
FIRST LOOK
OUR FAVORITE
WEDDING DAY MOMENTS
ON TO THE NEXT —
Even if the couple has chosen to do a first look, there is still something so profound and emotional about the doors opening and the bride walking down the aisle towards her future husband. We love capturing the expressions from both the bride and groom as they see each other in this iconic moment.
THE AISLE WALK
OUR FAVORITE
WEDDING DAY MOMENTS
ON TO THE NEXT —
This is a sacred moment, the most important moment of the day. This is when the couple becomes husband and wife. The images we capture from this moment show the intentionality and conviction of our couple as they promise to faithfully love one another for the rest of their lives. We both usually have tears in our eyes by the end of it because it brings us back to the moment that we said ours. Life long love is a beautiful thing.
THE VOWS
OUR FAVORITE
WEDDING DAY MOMENTS
ON TO THE NEXT —
Maybe it’s because we are parents now, but the mother/son and father/daughter dances have become a favorite of ours. Watching the tender embrace of a parent dancing with their newly married child is such a touching moment to capture.
THE PARENT DANCES
OUR FAVORITE
WEDDING DAY MOMENTS
In The Last Battle, C.S. Lewis describes the new Narnia as a place that feels richer and truer than the world left behind. That is exactly how I feel when I see my film scans. The colors, the light, the textures—they aren’t just images, they mean something.
Film photography has a way of capturing not just how something looked, but how it felt. It transforms fleeting moments into something lasting, something timeless—like a reflection in a looking-glass that somehow reveals the deeper truth of what was always there. The greens are greener, the light is softer, the colors more honest. It strips away the distractions of the digital age and reveals a beauty that feels eternal. A film photograph isn’t just a picture—it’s a glimpse into something more, something timeless, something real.
This is why I love incorporating film into my work. Because your wedding day isn’t just a moment—it’s a story, a legacy, a glimpse of eternity. And it deserves to be captured in a way that reflects its depth and beauty.

We believe that marriage, family and faith are the foundations that hold us together, and from flipping through photo albums as kids, we know the power images have to chronicle the beautiful history of a family and to freeze meaningful moments in time.
This is our blessing from our family to yours: To capture both the ordinary and extraordinary moments of your lives so that future generations look with wonder on “how you loved one another.” That is the kind of story we want to tell through timeless images.
