About
At 643 Photography, we strive for simplicity, elegance and quality. We believe that there is more to taking a striking picture than just expensive equipment and that great photography shouldn’t cost you a fortune. Working as a team of two photographers, we feed off each other’s creativity and compliment each other’s abilities and talents.
 
When covering events we are a unique, unobtrusive presence. We realize that it is the event that is most important and that the pictures should capture the event not dictate the action or get in the way of your enjoyment. Our photojournalistic approach to documenting your momentous life occasions provides you with beautiful photos that capture the realism and honest joy of your event or occasion.
 
Our approach to portraits is also unique, incorporating both traditional and non-traditional styles. Using the team approach, our sessions capture beautifully posed and directed pictures as well as more candid styles. This technique provides two totally different looks at the same time. While one camera is used to maintain the subject’s focus and give direction, the second camera is free to move about, capturing different angles without being obtrusive. 
 
We endeavor to create comfortable, friendly environments. Our laid back approach and low-profile style make us ideal for capturing genuine moments. We are very accommodating and encourage our subjects to share with us their ideas about what should be captured in photo shoots. Our artistic eye and experience add dimension and quality to your photos, and our naturalistic style produces pictures that feel genuine and real. We also believe in dedication and professionalism. With us you will never have to worry; taking pictures is our passion.  Our love of photography shines through in our work.

Endorsements
We worked with this dynamic duo at the marriage of Sharron and DeAnna Gossett March 14, 2009. These two young ladies are extremely impressive and the work they do show a great deal of pride and consideration. They photographed the Gossett Wedding working tirelessly capturing every moment and detail of the romantic, whimsical wedding. They photographed the wedding brilliantly capturing the aesthetics while creatively painting a memoir. 643 Photography moved gracefully and inconspicuously throughout the wedding, going virtually unnoticed. Their strong documentary skills and background allowed them to tell a very personal love story and capture the grace and essence of the time and memory. Their pictures elegantly tell fairy tales you can hear with your eyes.

Tips and Advice

Have an idea about the types of shots and poses you want? Make sure you explain them to us. We are more than happy to work with you. Bring samples of pictures you like and tell us the types of shots you want us to stay away from.

Make sure you set aside time to devote to your portrait session. The more time we have together the more likely we will be able to capture those amazing shots.

Think about what moments and people are most important to you and make sure to convey that to us. Also, designate a person who will be our contact on your special day, and bring them a long if you can to your meeting. That way everyone will be very sure of what you want captured on your wedding day.

As wedding photographers we have experianced how important engagement pictures are for the overall outcome of your wedding pictures.  Not only do you get to have some very special portraits of you and your soon to be husband/wife, but this is also a wonderful opportunity to build a relationship with us. This way, on your wedding day, everyone will be comfortable and relaxed. Not only will you look much more natural in the shots, we will know the best angles, poses, and shots that flatter you. This saves us lots of time on what can already be a very hectic day.  We encourage all couples to plan a time and place for these portraits before we meet.

Remember, when all is said and done, your wedding pictures will always be there to remind you of your special day.
