We want you to be yourself– and we’ll love you even more for it.

Is your doggo the ring bearer?

Planning a pre-wedding rafting trip?

Most importantly,

are you doing what YOU want to do?

Hell yeah. We're in.

We met at a chimpanzee sanctuary. We were both volunteers, and sparks flew as we shoveled up chimp shit.

We fell in love over

That summer, we chatted about everything: music, traveling, and Bend - the place we call home. 

We fell in love over Chimpanzee poop

 I thought Tim was the coolest person on Earth, with his camera around his neck and his passion for landscape photography and backpacking. Tim didn’t seem to care if others saw his work, yet he was obsessed with making his images as perfect as possible.

Tim thought, “Who was this girl who didn't bother putting on gloves to clean the chimp enclosures? Clearly she was hardcore and knew how to get shit done. It didn't hurt that she was also smart, cute, and easy to be around.”


After dating for a few years, I helped him shoot his first wedding for friends.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Now, we’re married with a son and live on 5 acres of land. 

In our free time, we’re likely on the road, savoring every moment of our one wild and precious life together.

We love gardening and nurturing our little patch of earth.

Outside of photo and film, what fills you up?


I’m a builder at heart and love to play with power tools. It's just so cool to make something out of nothing.

My greatest pride is the 16ft greenhouse I built by hand. I grow approximately 12 tomatoes in it each summer.

What drew you to photo/film?



For me, it’s always been about the people and their stories. Without them, I wouldn't love this job like I do.

I learned photography, but I became a storyteller. A single photo can be beautiful, but a collection of photos creates a narrative– and that is far more interesting to me.

Same with filmmaking– it's truly been the most inspiring and rewarding experience to watch a collection of shots become a living, breathing story.

Why weddings?


The people. Tim and I connect so deeply with each couple we work with. We ride the waves of joy that come with being with a couple on their very best day.

Experiencing their excitement takes me back to our wedding, and it’s like celebrating all over again.

What’s your secret sauce?



The best compliment we've ever received: "When I look at your portfolio, I feel like I know these people."

Our secret is that we don't try to make you into a couple like every other we've shot. It's the things that make you NOT like every other couple that we want you to see when you look at your photos and film.

Outside of photo and film, what fills you up?


I’m a film buff– I love listening to podcasts and commentaries and rewatching my favorites. I can’t wait to share them with our son.

Many years ago I penned a trio of screenplays that shall never see the light of day, but it's fun to be able to say I did that.

What drew you to photo/film?



Capturing moments is a way of seeing and experiencing the world that just works for me. I’m an introvert, so I’m constantly observing, and photo and film were a natural fit.

Now, it’s my job to visually document my observations– and the best things in life to observe and document are joy and love.

why weddings?


I enjoy giving our couples memories they can connect with.

Old home movies contribute to the stories of my life, and the ability to deliver the joy and celebration of remembering such an important moment brings me a lot of happiness.

What’s your secret sauce?



Distilling the memories to curate the very best moments for you.

We deliver hundreds of photos, but only a few will hang on the walls, sit in the album, and come to mind when you think about your day.

Max Fischer, “Rushmore”

You’ve just gotta find something you love to do, and then … do it for the rest of your life.

Meet Cayla: Our girl Friday

Cayla is our hype girl and couple whisperer.

If something needs to get done, Cayla is on it: she shoots photo and video depending on the needs of your day. We love her because she cares just as much as we do about creating a fun, easy-going environment on wedding day. We wouldn’t be who we are without her! We wouldn’t be who we are without her!


Love letters

“We can’t say enough good things about Tim and Caitlin. They take an interest in getting to know their clients as couples and make you feel completely at ease ... we loved having them be a part of our wedding day.”

Chelsea + Jesse

They are down to earth, approachable, genuine, hilarious and made us feel totally at ease. they offered direction when needed, but the rest of the time let us do our thing and captured the most genuine special moments.

they made us feel totally at ease

 Jen + Ian

I'm not quite sure what is better, the final quality of our photos or watching my wife's face just absolutely LIGHT UP every time she looks at the photos!!

hands down one of our easiest vendors to work and communicate with
