About

We’re a husband and wife photography team. We work together to capture all the incredible moments that will fill your day! We highly value our clients and the opportunity we have to photograph their Love Stories! We have also added videography to our team to, so our highly skilled videographers can tell your story with our unique Love Story Films.

We believe love stories are more than just what happens before or whats to come. It's about letting moments linger, soaking in the joy and excitement and not rushing anything. We believe as your story tellers, you should live in the essence of the moments you have dreamed of for a lifetime.

The most incredible photographers you will ever find!

Betsy and Justin are truly the most wonderful couple and such a joy to work with. Starting with our engagement photos, we had a great time building a relationship with them. They made us so comfortable and we had so much fun shooting with them! Not to mention that their photographs are stunning...they make us look incredible. I’m still in awe over our engagement photos and the first wedding photos we’ve received! They are thoughtful, fun and talented and worth every cent we spent to have them document the best day of our lives. We love Betsy and Justin and cannot recommend them enough!

Hands down THE MOST AMAZING photographer team out there! Having Betsy and Justin photograph our big day was definitely the best decision we made. They exceeded all expectations and I would recommend them over and over again. They are such fun loving people and made everything so easy! Our family and bridal party loved them! They were incredibly organized and professional and also worked so well with the little children in our bridal party. If you are looking for a wedding/engagement photographer, look no further and BOOK THEM NOW! We are so happy with the experience and will cherish our beautiful photos for years to come! Definitely the best vendors we booked for our wedding! Thank you again for everything, Betsy and Justin!

Hiring Betsy and Justin was one of the first, easiest, and best decisions we made for our wedding. They were supportive and fun through the whole process leading up to the big day and made the day seem seamless. Their energy is both infections and fun and calming, which is what we wanted from photographers. 10 out of 10 would choose them again!
