DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
YOUR LOVE IS A MAGNIFICENT STORY - AND IT DESERVES TO BE TOLD LIKE ONE.
If you…..
Prioritize spending quality time with your guests and want to truly savor every moment on your special day…
Prefer photos that reflect the essence and emotions of your wedding day, not a staged presentation…
Prefer a relaxed atmosphere, and value letting moments unfold naturally…
...... then you are in the right place
There is no truer joy than that reflected in unplanned laughter. There is no deeper love than that witnessed in sidelong glances.
The most beautiful moments of your wedding are not performed.
Hello! We are Sunny and Nate
Coming from very diverse backgrounds, we found each other over a decade ago – and have been sharing memories and photographs ever since. Now we combine our unique skill sets to preserve moments for others…using both artistry and cultivated photojournalism to chronicle our clients’ weddings and elopements.

IN THE WORDS OF CLIENTS
“Sunny and Nate joined the fabric of our wedding and preserved moments that happened when we were relaxed and being ourselves. I cannot tell you how priceless their treasure trove of candids have become. I know the photo of my sister snorting is worth a millions times more than the dozens I have of us standing and smiling shoulder-to-shoulder.”
"There were so many moments I didn't realize existed. Smiles after toasts, mistakes on the dance floor, frosting on my sleeves...THIS is our wedding."
“You have to trust that the magic of the day will shine through you and your guests. It is actually pretty inspiring to learn how beautiful life is when you let it unfold around you.”
“I had been in my fair share of wedding parties before my engagement. From these experiences, I knew I did not want to spend a quarter of my day standing in lines, fussing with my makeup…or worse, pretending to fuss with my partner’s tie. I wanted a day where nothing was staged. And I wanted pictures that made people think ‘Wow…there’s a real story here.’”
“When I saw what my smile looked like when I wasn't trying...I was shocked! Surely I'd just had a photogenic day? But then my partner said 'This is how I always see you...' and just like that, another memory was made. Thank you Sunny and Nate!”
Joy is not a performance. Emotion is not tidy.
And real magic doesn’t happen on a stage.
What is it like working with us?
Your wedding will not be a bundle of clichés - and your wedding photos should reflect that.
Fusing photojournalism with classic wedding aesthetics, we seek to capture your day as one would a news event. Like a photojournalist, our priority is operating within the bounds of your story without manipulating any scenes.
Because we work in tandem, we have developed a unique protocol for covering multiple simultaneous angles of an event. Oftentimes, this gives us double the opportunity to capture those impossible-to-plan moments of laughter, tears, and beaming joy. While we operate in the background, we want you to be engaged in the present - fully relaxed and yourself.
We take pride in presenting ourselves as approachable and down-to-Earth…A calm, non-judgmental presence easy to integrate into a day too often driven by stress and a need to be ‘perfect'.’
We believe your only job the day of your wedding is to get married. We are not there to direct you and your loved ones into specific “types” of photos or to spend hours staging ‘classic’ poses.
When the focus of the wedding remains the love of the union - authentic beauty surfaces. This is the beauty that creates memories. And this is the beauty we seek in all corners of the celebration - quiet moments of intimacy, boisterous moments of bad-dancing, messy moments of dropped silverware - we will be there to capture it all.
When you review your wedding photos, you should discover more about your day. It should bring back every wild, indescribable emotion - the beautiful imperfection of it all. Your love is a magnificent story - and it deserves to be told like one.
