About

Hey!!!

We are most commonly known as Daddy and Mommy to our three amazing kiddos, {one boy & two girls} our beagle-lab mix, Basil, and our ever growing flock of chickens. Yes, our fresh eggs taste much better than the store bought ones. Scott has an unnatural infatuation with all things chocolate and peanut butter while Erica is a homemade spaghetti sauce connoisseur. We graduated with Architecture and Graphic Design degrees which we feel greatly affect our individual style and approach to photography. We love authentic smiles, laughs, and tears of joy.

We love where we came from, are extremely grateful to be where we are, and are anxiously awaiting what comes next. We are so thankful for those first few clients that trusted us with their memories when our portfolio only consisted of a small handful of images that we captured as wedding guests. We can't even begin to thank everyone who has helped us along the way. Our long list of babysitters, family and friends for supporting us, all of our amazing clients for trusting us, and most importantly, God for giving us the talent and ambition to do what it is that we enjoy even when we have nothing booked! We have truly been blessed.

Though Scott is our lead wedding photographer and pretty much takes care of all things wedding around here, Erica still plays a vital role in the wedding day festivities. Scott's style isn't one thing or another. It is a balanced blend of classic portraits, modern style, and a bit of photo-journalistic story telling. Maybe even a little bit of stalker style paparazzi thrown in there too.

We aim to capture the emotion of your day in accurate color and timeless black and white. We may do some trendy editing on some photos but we understand that trends fade. We want you photos to look amazing to the people who view them fifty years from now. Therefore, any photo that we edit artistically, we also provide the original color version. Our goal is to tell the story of your wedding day through the emotion and details in the photos we take.

We do our best at each and every wedding to provide our brides with an album full of special moments that they both experienced and never knew happened on their wedding day. We do not like to stay hidden, we want to be noticed. Our favorite compliments are wedding guests that tell us how great a job we are doing and they have yet to see a picture we have taken. We are not obnoxious and in your face, we are active.

We are not the world's best photographers {even though some of our clients say otherwise} and we make no outrageous claims to our abilities. Quite simply, we love what we do and will work our hardest to provide you with an enjoyable experience and an outstanding finished product.

We would love to hear all about your amazing wedding plans.

Happy Photographer Hunting! We hear they are always in season and taste almost as good as wedding cake!

July 23, 2011 we easily discovered the sincerity in what has been said about your wedding day being over in the blink of an eye. Time certainly flies when you are having fun. We were fortunate on our wedding day on several accounts. We were blessed with each other, our family, our friends, and our photographers that became our friends as well. In the chaos of being pulled in every direction for wedding day milestones of cutting the cake, greetings guests, special dances, and taking pictures we were able to feel like we did not miss a thing. While taking pictures we were with our photographers, who acknowledged the rushing around, gave us time alone, made us feel special and paid attention to our bouncing emotions of love, feeling overwhelmed, need for water, need for space, and need for a quick ‘how are you?’ While we have moments we cherish, there is so much of the day and night that seemed a blur. Our generous and thoughtful photographers graced us with a preview of their talent through a handful of pictures the next morning and brought the smiles we had for so long the day before right back to our faces. The pictures were from angles that captured the moment on a level we didn’t even recall on our own while trying to settle into our new lives and all that had occurred. The candid moments, the perspective of the photos, the facial expressions that lasted an instant were all caught on film and told us a story of the night that we were able to relive immediately; viewing their work was a gift itself. The posed pictures of us as bride and groom held not only memories of Jarod and I together, feeling the essence of being one from the unique poses geared toward our personality, but they held fond memories of the laughter we had while taking the pictures and catered the ability to savor the moment. We, again, have our talented and personable photographers to thank for that. Emerald Design Photography is a vendor we worked with for our wedding who became our friends simply due to the immediate respect we had for their talent and the genuine care Scott & Erica have for those they work with.

Emerald Design was extremely flexible in every way. They personalized their services to the needs of our wedding and it was an extreme joy to work with them! They went above and beyond all expectations! Our pictures are gorgeous and we had a lot of fun during the process as well. I recommend them to everyone I know that I hear is getting married. I love the style of their photography and their work ethic cannot be beat! They are truly fantastic!!! I plan to use them again in the future any time I want wonderful pictures to remember the priceless moments in life.
