INVESTMENT
Hiring a photographer is more than checking a box. It is an investment in preserving your most meaningful memories. While anyone can pick up a camera or a phone, at The Lovers Archives our purpose runs deeper. We are here to capture your story in a way that resonates, creating timeless imagery you will return to for years to come. It is not just about the photographs. It is about the way you looked at each other during your first dance, the tearful embrace from a parent, or the quiet, fleeting moments in between. These are priceless memories. And if you are simply looking for someone to show up and take pictures, we may not be the right fit.
Too often, we hear from couples who regret choosing a vendor that did not prioritize their experience or vision. At The Lovers Archives, we are fully committed to delivering an elevated and intentional client experience. From the first point of contact, we take the time to learn your story and understand what matters most to you on your wedding day. You are not just clients. You are a couple with a one-of-a-kind story, and it is our honor to preserve it with care, creativity, and heart.
We are there to document your day as it naturally unfolds, capturing both the big moments and the quiet, intimate ones. We are also there to help shape the energy when needed, whether it is getting guests excited on the dance floor for candid shots or creating space for real, tender interactions. Our role is to ensure you feel present, connected, and fully immersed in every moment, knowing your memories are being documented with intention and artistry.

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.
