About

On WeddingWire since 2014

We believe in honest images of a real story. We’re Peter & Susannah, and Louis, and if you don’t want super-posed, stiff, and impersonal photos, but exciting, vivid photos that capture who you are and what really happened—then we can’t wait to meet with you!

Services Offered

We offer photo and video services as needed.

We specialize in capturing the natural and unscripted moments at weddings. Our main mission is to allow couples to feel at ease - this means that we can document the candid smiles and the in-between moments. We don't like stiff, posed photos. We love it when couples squeeze each others' butts, whisper in each other's ears, and just have fun together. We do everything we can to make sure you have a stress-free and amazing wedding day--whether that’s keeping a cold drink in your hand, finding you food, or telling Uncle Joe you guys need some space.

Incredible Wedding Photos!!

We had Peter do the photography for our wedding and we had an amazing experience!! Peter was so incredibly easy to work with before the wedding and helped us create the vision for the day, and on the day made the photos go so smoothly and it was so stress free and fun! The photos came out amazing and really captured the essence of the day. Could not be happier with our experience!!

Amazing Team and Priceless Experience!

Peter and his team were absolutely amazing! He listened to what we were hoping for from day one and delivered expertly! Neither my spouse and I wanted really formal pictures yet wanted to capture the spirit of the day, and that is exactly what we got. When Peter did our engagement photo session we were very comfortable and able to enjoy the experience (which is key for two people how aren't really ones to be in front of a camera or the focus of attention). We wanted to do a combination of an elopement photo session on our wedding day, in addition to the typical wedding festivities and Peter was totally on board from the start. Our first-look and pre-wedding session at the North Falls of Silver Creek Falls turned out better than I could have imagined! His team was always in the right place at the right time without being intrusive and even joined in for some of the reception fun. Peter and his team were priceless when it came down to value and the delivered product... You won't be disappointed!

Peter and his wife photographed an event here at Lakeside Gardens this Summer, and I hope to see them here again soon! Peter was organized, professional, and very friendly. His turn-around on editing the photos was lightening quick, and they were beautiful! I would feel confident recommending him to our brides!
