Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever)
You're my, my, my, my
Lover
about your investment
let's talk

Xx, the shepards

We know that when you book us as your wedding photographer, you are trusting us to handle one of the most important pieces of your day. You're trusting us to document those sacred moments- the shared kisses between the two of you, the laughter during the best mans speech, the way your grandma looks in adoration at you in your dress. While we are absolutely upbeat and fun, we take our job very seriously. Yes, we'll make sure you two look hot af and take some killer artistic photos, but beyond that- we'll document the real stuff.  We believe this investment is a two way thing and as you put your trust in us, we also trust in you to be your authentic selves, to let go of the stupid little things that distract us from being real, and having the celebration that is true to you and your love.

One of our all time favorite photographers, Henry Tieu, wrote the most beautiful thing about photography and I think it so clearly communicates why we are passionate about what we do: "The thing about photos is that no matter how crazy life can get, for a second, when we click that shutter button, time stands still, everything freezes, and in that moment, for a fraction of a second, everything is beautiful and life is perfect. When we grow old, photos remind us of how we once looked. When times get tough, photos let us re-live those times when life was much easier and full of hopes and dreams. When we lose our loved ones, photos are the only thing that lives on and allows us to immerse in the nostalgia and memories. Photos are timeless. Photos are sacred."

photos are sacred.

you are the best thing that's ever been mine!

When you opt for something a little different than the mold and celebrate just the two of you. At a courthouse, on a mountain top, in the desert, or at an airbnb- elopements have been something we've always love documenting. There is something really unique and special about sharing your wedding day with just the one you love.

Just the two of you.

"Forgive my delayed response to our gallery, as I wanted to make sure I could spend the time to truly express our gratitude for everything you managed to capture for us. I've looked through this gallery at least 6 times in its entirety by now, and each time I feel as though I'm reliving the entire day. It's easy to forget some of the little moments/details as time passes, and the photos you captured truly allow us to remember it all. Neither one of us has ever felt so happy in our entire lives as we did on that day, and somehow, you can feel it tangibly in every photo. We could not have asked for a better photography team, so thank you both SO much for everything! We are more grateful than we could ever express."

you can feel it tangibly how happy we are in every photo

"The Shepards were a huge part in helping our wedding go perfectly. From start to end their communication was flawless and the whole day flowed like a well oiled machine in huge part thanks to them!! They knew all the special moments to capture. The stunning photographs they provided my husband and I, along with our families, are the most beautiful memories!! They provided us with our deck so fast and I cannot recommend them enough!"

I cannot recommend them enough!
