About
We are photographers, directors, curators, and most of all, storytellers for your wedding. Together, we have worked as professionals in the wedding industry for over a decade, and make up one incredibly unique mother-daughter wedding photography team. We have documented weddings from the breathtaking West Coast to the historic East Coast, and have had our work published internationally both in print and online. Our wanderlust hearts have taken us all over the country, capturing love stories, and visiting quaint hometown coffee shops along the way. Even though we've spent most of our lives in a nautical California town, for years we have called South Carolina home, expanding to the low country of Charleston.
It's about more than hiring someone to hold a camera and snap a few pictures. Wedding photography is about carefully crafting and capturing the moments of your big day in a way that beautifully tells the story of your love. We can't wait to do this for you on your wedding day!
We believe love is love. Couples of all sexualities, races, gender identities and religions are welcomed and celebrated here.

My childhood was filled with California sunshine and coastal adventures. I grew to be a creative dreamer, always optimistic, a girl with a big heart, a mama of two daughters, and Granna to the most adorable grandkids. I left California for change, laying new roots in South Carolina, and found the love of my life in a southern gentleman. When I’m not behind the camera you will find me being attempting all the DIY house projects, working on my green thumb, and dreaming of where our next vacation will take us. I’m a chaser of morning light, take a little coffee with my creamer, and flowers are my weakness. I find such purpose in helping our clients plan their wedding day, because when you’re prepared, you spend less time stressing, and more time celebrating with those you love.
A passionate romantic and the one who started our photography journey. I’m a travel enthusiast, lover of cleanly composed and beautifully lit film portraits, will always celebrate with a Mai Tai, personal stylist to our clients, and a firm believer in high school sweethearts. I’ve been capturing weddings since I was 14 years old and was able to graduate high school and start the adventure as a small business owner. I am incredibly blessed to wake up every day and get to call this my job. Together, with my husband Paul, we’re a team in our lives and in work. We have two beautiful children, Makenna & Hayden, two German Shepherds, and two cats. A few of my favorite things include fashion, all the florals, Costco trips, houseplants, acai bowls, and family walks.

They have a great way of making people feel comfortable so they can get the most natural images. It's always a pleasure to work with them! You won't be disappointed!
Laura & Rachel are rare gems in this industry. Their style and romantic feel make them the perfect duo for wedding events and all things LOVE. I love their use of natural lighting especially in coastal settings. I highly recommend these amazing ladies, I have been privileged to have them shoot my bakery goods on multiple occasions and have been over the moon at each!
We have worked with Laura and Rachel many times now and they are our top choice for wedding photographers. Not only do they produce beautiful images, but they go above and beyond for their clients. They have servant hearts, display excitedly positive attitudes at all times, solve problems quickly and effectively, and are always finding ways to help others around them succeed. They are leaders in the industry and anyone would be lucky to have them as their photographers.
