What it's like to work with us

(wedding edition)

• Between the four of us, we have theatre, music, engineering, and education backgrounds and zero ability to ignore interesting light. We are a specific kind of people.
• Only one of us drinks coffee. We'll let you figure out which one.
• Charlotte is a theatre director. Not in a "everyone line up and do what I say" way. In a "she just made your whole bridal party feel like they're in a Wes Anderson film and nobody is entirely sure how that happened" way.
• We will find the light, find the angle, find the moment — and somehow make it feel like it was your idea all the way.
• The photo that makes you sob into your hands six months from now? We saw it coming from across the room. We said nothing. We just got it.
• We have backup gear for our backup gear. So when we arrive with multiple cases and backpacks, don't worry. We're not moving in. We just want to be ready for whatever happens.
• At some point during your wedding, Ian will find a shot nobody else saw, fix something without being asked, and recommend The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss to at least one member of your wedding party. 
• We will find your people: the ones crying quietly and sweetly in the corner, the ones doing something memorable on the dance floor, the one kid who has fully and publicly checked out. They are our favorites. They always are.
• We care deeply, perhaps an unreasonable amount, about how this day turns out for you specifically. Not weddings in general. Yours.
• If you have read Grayson has already fixed the lighting in three rooms you haven't entered yet.
• Shelley emailed you back before you finished typing the question. This is not a bit. This is just Shelley.
• We will absolutely direct you when we need to. And then we'll say something ridiculous and take the real photo while you're still recovering from it.
• Somewhere in your gallery there will be a photo of a moment so small, so perfectly yours, that you will have to sit down when you find it.
• We are looking for the flower girl who has decided she is done, the best man who is trying not to cry and failing beautifully, and whoever is about to say exactly the wrong thing at exactly the right time.
• We believe the best weddings look like you — slightly chaotic, deeply human, and more beautiful than you planned.
• We treat your day like it's the only one happening on earth. Because on that day, for us, it is.
• After your wedding, we will end up at Sonic. Diet cherry limeade, two Dr Peppers, and a lot of tots. And we will sit in that parking lot and talk about our favorite moments of your night. You won't know this is happening. But it is. It always does.
• We leave every wedding tired, snack-depleted, a little windswept, and embarrassingly, genuinely invested in two people we met six months ago. Every time. We never learn.
