About

we are for each other is a photography team based in new york city. we are an engaged lesbian couple, and we love creative, colorful, joyous weddings.

des is the photographer of the duo. she loves music, is an avid suicide prevention advocate, and spends her spare time reading lyrical fiction or fluffy celebrity memoirs.

katie is the artistic coordinator. she will make sure you are polished. she will pose you and keep you at ease on your big day. she is also a licensed massage therapist and body hair removal connoisseur (we offer her services as an add-on to our package). she loves animals, bad fiction and tv (equally and unabashedly), and fried food.

our basic package starts at $3,000. please don't hesitate to inquire with us. we'd love to share your special day with you!


photograph by matt miller

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
—the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

- e.e. cummings

Des, simply put, is amazing. Her unique style is exactly what we were looking for - every photo we've seen so far has been stunning. I love her eye for lighting and capturing the essence of the moment. I tend to get camera shy, but she really helped ease my nerves in front of the lens. She was always on time, professional, and responsive. I would very highly recommend her to anyone. She's like family by the time she's done shooting the wedding!

We were fortunate enough to have Des and Katie do our engagement shoot back in June. It was an extremely hot and muggy day, but they kept their cool and we had an awesome photo shoot that day. I love Des' style - exactly what I was looking for - warm and vintage. Katie was our wonderful assistant who gave us directions during the shoot! I would highly recommend "we are for each other" for anyone looking for an amazingly talented photographer for their special day!

I fell in love with the photos that Des sent us when I was inquiring about her photography services. One word - BRILLIANT! Planning a wedding definitely has its ups and downs, and our engagement shoot was one of our highest moments. We were ecstatic when Des agreed to shoot for us because her style, which is warm, fun, and a bit of a vintage-y feel was exactly how I want our photos. And let's not forget about Katie, the perfect assistant who is equally talented - she has a good eye for photos and was super helpful when we needed help to ease up. Did I mention that the packaging our photos came in...is super cute??!! I absolutely love that they pay attention to every single little detail! They are extremely thorough and professional. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for an extraordinary photographer!
