your day, beautifully captured by our team
Hello! I'm Mae, I specialize in guided posing, and helping couples create beautifully candid moments that feel authentic to each person. I have 7+ years of experience, with over 200+ weddings captured. As a mom of 6 fur babies, home life looks like being a mini zookeeper! I'm a veggie gardener in my free time, I enjoy gaming with friends, and I can't say no to a good shaken espresso.

Jenn
A storyteller, an observer, and a seeker of quiet beauty; drawn to the fleeting, in-between moments that often speak the loudest. I am a wife to my best friend, Nick, mama to our sweet Breslynn Rose, and dog mom to Hudson and Rainier. My Christian faith is the foundation of who I am and the heart behind everything I do.

Think of me as someone who feels familiar from the start; easygoing, supportive, and genuinely present. I bring a fresh perspective while helping guide the flow of your day, so you can stay focused on what matters most. Whether it’s adjusting details behind the scenes or stepping in where needed, I’m here to make sure you feel fully supported from beginning to end.
