Rimrock Ranch • June 17th, 2023
We’ve been named Top wedding photographers in San Diego & Temecula by expertise.com. We won Design Aglow’s best wedding image of the year. Our work is featured on major wedding industry blogs such as Martha Stewart Weddings, Cosmopolitan Magazine, Wedding Chicks, The New York Times, HGTV, Ruffled, Carats & Cake, Bespoke Bride, Dancing with Her, The Huff Post and many other select international publications.
We look forward to learning more about you two and your story.
Thank you for considering us!
Here’s a tiny bit about us and our approach to photographing weddings. We’re located in Southern California. We’ve been married for nine years and have two kids, Finnley & Dawson. While we are technically trained and can nerd out on camera settings, we also genuinely love people.
We are keenly aware that your photos are all that you will have after your wedding is over. We hold the role to capture your wedding day that only happens once in the highest regard. We believe that the value of each image will only increase with each passing anniversary.
We specialize in modern luxury weddings, creating an eclectic collection of timeless, joyful, romantic, and editorial images from your wedding day.
You deserve amazing photography of your wedding, and we’d be happy to make that happen for you.
01. 18 years of wedding photography experience. Our work is consistent.
02. We are 2 LEAD photographers. Not one lead & one less experienced 2nd shooter.
03. We both have our Bachelor of Arts in Professional Photography.
04. We’re committed to fast response time to all communication.
05. We don’t do cheesy & uncomfortable posing.
06. We work well under stress and maintain a positive attitude
07. We can turn out high-quality images at any time of day, not just at sunset.
08. Many of our brides hire us again when they start their family.
09. We have outstanding reviews. Being photographed by us is FUN! Read what others have to say!
Dana and Nate are THE best photographers and people in general. First off, they are easy to communicate with whether it’s in the initial set up of everything or in person during the fun stuff. They are detail oriented in the most amazing ways and it shows in their work - which is stunning to say the least!
"Our wedding day of course was the cherry on top, we felt so happy to have the both of them help guide us thru our day and capture every special moment! They truly have blessed us with so many memories."
We are very awkward and nervous in front of a camera. We wanted someone who would somehow be able to make us feel comfortable and capture all of those small intimate moments at our wedding. The second we FaceTimed with Nate and Dana all of our nerves were gone! They were so easy going and relaxed and immediately felt like old friends!!!
"We LOVED all of our photos and were so happy to have them be a part of our big day."
As we are a lesbian couple it was important for us to find someone who respected our relationship but was also excited to photograph us. As soon as we Skyped to meet (we live in the UK) we knew straight away that they were the right photographers for us, & we weren't wrong!
"We had a blast during our engagement shoot & received the most amazing images. We had our trust fully in Dana & Nate at our wedding and our photographs are stunning."
Dana & Nate were so much fun to work with!! The photos came out fantastic, we've received tons of compliments on them already! Definitely would recommend this team for photos of your big day!
"It's not every day that you are in a photo shoot, and their warmth and good humor really allowed my husband and I to feel comfortable in front of the camera."
They're the secret sauce to authentic wedding images. The industry calls them engagement sessions, but we think of them more like a rehearsal. We want you to know our style of directing and to feel totally at ease in front of our cameras. A lot of nerves can happen on a wedding day, and we don’t want any of those to be “I feel awkward in front of the camera” nerves.
You walk away with great photos that you can cherish for the rest of your life, but the point is we get comfortable with each other, and we aren’t strangers on your wedding day.
We believe in them, so they’re included in most of our collections at a discounted rate.

When the power goes out, if your battery dies, when your computer crashes, you can still see your prints. If you want your wedding images to last a lifetime and beyond, you must print them. An album is one beautiful place where the story of your wedding day can be told and shared over and over again. Don’t let them live sad and alone on a hard drive in a drawer collecting dust.
Because technology changes, PRINT YOUR PHOTOS.

We know that selecting the perfect photographer is essential. We want to make sure you are comfortable with choosing us. If you still have questions and would like to set up a Zoom/phone call to talk through anything, we are here for you. Please reach out with any questions, at any time.
To secure your date with us, we require a non-refundable 25% retainer with the remaining balance due 30 days before your wedding. We all sign the contract, and just like that, it’s officially official!
