ABOUT the shepards

Passionate. Intentional. Driven.

The Shepards combine a documentary approach with stylized, editorial portraits and details in order to document your wedding day story in a way that is effortlessly timeless and uniquely you.

For the last decade, it has been our privilege to document over 300 weddings alongside brides and grooms as they are surrounded by the people that have helped write their love story. We have traveled across the world and shot in numerous beautiful locations. All of those countless hours documenting weddings instilled in us a deep appreciation for intentional storytelling, above all else. Our unique gift is being able to seamlessly cultivate connection with couples and their families from varying backgrounds and document weddings in a way that is genuine. Every couple is unique and beautiful and we feel incredibly privileged to be apart of something so sacred and intimate.
