Superheroes of the day!

I cannot say enough about this incredible duo! Maxx & Bre were absolutely amazing to work with- so kind, professional, and communicative! The day of, they literally became our superheroes! Not only were they expertly capturing every special moment beautifully, but they kept things moving and helped keep the day fun, light, and on track! We truly would not have made it through the day without them and are so grateful. Every moment with them was our favorite of the day and the few shots we have seen are just gorgeous!!! Truly one of the best decisions we made in our planning process was hiring Gin & July!

The absolute best photographers

Truly cannot say enough great things about Maxx and Bre. We chose them as our wedding photographers almost 3 years ago, and weren’t able to get married until last month (thanks COVID!). Throughout all of our COVID postponements and headaches, they were so responsive and understanding, which made such a difference (you’d be surprised how many wedding vendors don’t actually care about you). Add on that, they’re just super nice and fun people, AND their work is simply incredible. I’d recommend them to anyone, for engagement and wedding photography.

Hey everyone! I'm Bre. Elementary school teacher slash photographer extraordinaire. Napping queen, master multi-tasker, and all around super mom (can you tell that Maxx wrote this?). Always in search of a great dirty chai and could live on a Mexican beach surviving solely on shrimp tacos.
