We believe in marriage. We believe in love and laughter. We believe that your wedding day is just the beginning.

Hi there and welcome!

It was not too long ago that we were there. Right where you are now. Planning our dream wedding and bursting with excitement to get to spend the rest of our lives together! March 4, 2012, was the big day and God could not have given us for a more perfect one! But, it was just the beginning of our journey. After less than a year of being married, we jumped full force into wedding photography, falling more and more in love with every wedding we captured.

We never dreamed that we would be doing this together, and yet, not a day goes by that we can imagine doing anything else.

This business has been one of the greatest gifts the Lord has given us. We get to freeze a moment in time for our couples, we get to be professional wedding guests (and dance a little during reception time!), and we get to witness the most special moments between a husband and wife. We are always honored to be chosen to be a part of a wedding day and humbled that we are the ones that get to capture images that allow you to relive your special day. We are always grateful when brides and grooms let us into their lives and allow us to help them leave a legacy of love for generations to come. We strongly believe that we can be the best of friends and not just your wedding photographers.

the dream team

Hey there! I’m Kristy!

Lover of Jesus, fluffy bouquets, cathedral veils, joyful brides, and first looks. Food is my love language and not a day goes by without a cup of coffee! I’m a natural born extrovert and absolutely love being around people. I’m a professional veil thrower, dress bustler, hair pinner, pep talker, and honorary bridesmaid. When I’m not crying during a father/daughter dance or busting a move at your reception, you can find me running around after both our daughters enjoying motherhood to the fullest. I’m a lover of laughter, a hugger, and can’t wait to be a part of your big day!

Hi guys! I’m Vic!

Pizza and chocolate-chip cookies are my jam... (I know, I’m pretty much a kid) and I believe one of the best investments we’ve ever made was our pizza oven and espresso machine. I’m a ring-shot specialist, and expert boutonniere pinner. If I wasn’t a wedding photographer, I’d probably be an interior designer. It’s something that I’ve loved since I was young (you can call me Vic Gaines). You will often hear me say the most ridiculous things to get a genuine laugh because I believe that the best way to capture two people in love is by seeing them smile together!

Educators in Photography

But a fair warning, you will probably gain two of the biggest cheerleaders for your business in us :)

 

Beyond the Basics with Kristy & Vic

We're taking it beyond the basics of photography and diving deep into different areas of this craft we love so much. Take your photos to the next level by learning directly from someone who's been where you are!

There's nothing that fills our hearts more than helping others succeed and thrive in their business! With one-on-one mentoring sessions, we dive into your areas of need and help you push forward in any way we can.

This trend 🥹

What a beautiful journey this has been and we’re just so grateful for the way the Lord has moved in our lives and business. 

We’ve learned so much along the way and are filled with gratitude for the life we live 🩷
We help them build a timeline 🙌🏼

Here’s the deal: most of our couples have never gotten married before and aren’t sure how much time is needed for photos of each portion of their day.

That’s where we come in ☺️

We’ve shot about 200 weddings and we know how much time is needed to allow for photos to be captured without being in a time crunch and feeling flustered!

So we help take that burden off our bride’s shoulders and, if they’re working with a planner, we merge the timelines to make for a seamless wedding day 🫶🏼

The ultimate goal is for us to help relieve stress and for our couples not to have to worry at all about the logistics of photos on their wedding day!
We let them know that it’s totally normal to feel awkward the first 10-15 min of the session 😅

It takes the pressure and expectations off of them and helps them relax almost instantly! 

And it’s our job as their photographers to help them feel comfortable and at ease (even with a camera pointed at them) during our time together.

Making our couples comfortable (especially the guys, who normally don’t like photos lol) is top priority and sometimes letting them know it’s ok to feel awkward clears the air! 

Go ahead and share this with an engaged couple that needs this reminder 🙌🏼
