Experience
YOUR WEDDING VISION BROUGHT TO LIFE
-
We are based out of Los Angeles, CA. We frequently photograph weddings all over Southern California, but we can travel anywhere in the world!
-
YES!!!! We are ready to travel anywhere you need us to be and we are passport READY!
-
Yes! We specialize in film and digital photography and our team has been shooting both formats side by side for years. Our team does shoot modern pro digital camera bodies, but we anchor our signature style in the look and feel of film.
-
We do offer Video Services and specialize in Super 8 Films, a lovely addition for modern lovers. All of my wedding videography and Super 8 film packages are custom to fit your specific needs.
-
It usually depends on the time of year and how busy I am in any given season. I deliver an edited preview in 24-72 hours and my typical turnaround time for a fully edited gallery is between 12-14 weeks due to film development and processing as we work with the best local film labs in Socal.

Navigating this is quite the challenge! Nowadays, couples are vocal about their aversion to stiff, forced looking photos, a sentiment we wholeheartedly share. When people are at ease and enjoying themselves, that joy naturally shines through in the photos. Rather than fixating on rigid poses, a skilled photography team should focus on capturing connections, making subtle adjustments along the way. Often, the most magical shots emerge from those fleeting, unplanned moments
While we hesitate to be labled solely as a "Doscumentary-style" photography team, as most couples seek guidance for their portraits, we don't strictly pose or lurk around like a private investigator. The distinction between posed and candid shots can sometimes blur in my work. We aim to be present with our couples and their guests, collaborating to craft stunning wedding photos that fulfill their dreams!
-
Our goal as your photography team is to make you feel comfortable and have fun while making beautiful photos. Our process is easygoing and natural and we are here to guide and support you every step of the way.
-
Our style is contemporary with a fusion of editorial and documentary that's lively and poetic and has emphasis on a nostalgic and vintage film influence for a cinematic feel.
-
We have a love for capturing and documenting these moments for my clients and treat every story with care and pure enthusiasm.
Always work with someone professional and skilled with a huge passion and love for what they do.That would be us.

AT THE HEART OF OUR WORK
Every experience is collaborative, shaped by your vision, your dynamic, and the way you move through the day together.
We focus on the details while staying tuned to the energy of the celebration. The anticipation, the connection between the people who matter most, and the moment the music takes over and the room comes alive.
Our approach is about preserving the full atmosphere of the day, not just how it looked, but how it felt.
TO OUR FUTURE CLIENTS,
A wedding isn’t just an event. It’s one of the few moments where you, your partner, and everyone you love come together fully present, dressed with intention, and carrying a once-in-a-lifetime energy. It’s elevated. It’s emotional. It doesn’t repeat itself.
It deserves to be documented with the same care and intention it took to create.
Our role is to help you step into that moment with confidence. To see you clearly, guide when needed, and capture the presence, connection, and character that are already there. Even if it feels unfamiliar at first. Even if you don’t see it yet.
That story already exists. We’re here to recognize it, and preserve it.
Here’s how we take your vision from first conversation to unforgettable images.
1. You reach out → Fill out a Inquiry Form and book a consult call on our calendar.
2. We vibe check → On the call, we’ll talk details, dreams, logistics, and what matters most to you.
3. You say YES! → We will send your custom proposal with the contract + invoice (30% retainer secures your date).
4. The planning begins → You’ll get our full wedding guide, and if we’re doing an engagement session, We’ll send location ideas, style inspo, and a shoot-day timeline to make sure it’s a dream.
5. We shoot → Engagement session or wedding day, we show up ready. Direction when needed, space when it matters, and plans in place if things shift.
6. Sneaks coming in hot → We will text/email you the morning after your wedding with a little love note + timeline for sneak peeks. You’ll get previews within 24-72 Hours and the full wedding gallery 12-14 weeks later.
7. That’s a wrap→ You relive the day through the images. If you feel like sharing the experience, we’d love to hear it.
The Lovers Archives went above and beyond for us. They made everything so easy and fun, even when we were nervous in front of the camera. Our gallery feels so alive, every photo tells a story. It’s exactly how we remember the day, just even more beautiful.
