WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR WEDDING MEMORIES, THERE'S NO ROOM FOR DOUBT...

Imagine this: it’s your dream day, surrounded by everyone you love. The air is electric with joy, the details are unforgettable, and the emotions are real, raw, and beautiful. This isn’t just a milestone. It’s the celebration of a lifetime. And at The Lovers Archives, we’re here to make sure it’s remembered that way.

We are not just photographers. We are storytellers who understand the weight and wonder of this moment. You are not looking for someone to simply show up with a camera. You want a creative partner who brings intention, artistry, and soul. Someone who sees the magic in every fleeting glance, every tearful hug, every breathless laugh and preserves it with timeless beauty.

At The Lovers Archives, we craft images that reflect more than how your day looked. We show how it felt. With a blend of film and digital, contemporary edge and nostalgic charm, we honor your vision and elevate it with thoughtful composition and emotional depth.

Wherever your love takes you, across oceans, mountaintops, or city skylines, we are there to transform your memories into a visual legacy. Because your story deserves to be archived with care, passion, and the kind of artistry that makes you feel something every time you look back. This is more than photography


This is The Lovers Archives.

...LET'S TURN YOUR love story INTO art.

the experience

AT THE HEART OF our WORK

We aspire for my couples' photos to authentically capture their essence. Our objective is to create a collaborative experience, blending your unique identity with your vision. In wedding sessions, we ensure the portrayal of every intricate detail and the joyful celebration of your union. From the exhilaration of pivotal moments to the love and bonds among your cherished ones, and the vibrant spirit ignited by drinks and music on the dance floor, we aim to encapsulate it all.

  • The Lovers Archives is based out of Los Angeles, CA. We frequently photograph weddings all over Southern California, but we can travel anywhere in the world!

  • 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 8-10 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.

  • Fill out our inquiry form and be as descriptive as possible.  We will respond within 72 hours.  We require a 30% non-refundable retainer to hold the date and then we can start planning to photograph your wedding!
