Hi There! - I'm Jarret!
Hey there, I’m your professional third wheeler! Yep, at 26, I’ve been snapping moments since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. With six years of running my own photography gig under my belt, I’ve seen it all – from the traditional “I do’s” to the quirky and offbeat celebrations.
But wait, there’s more! When I’m not behind the lens, I’m playing dad to two pint-sized princesses who rule my world.
In between diaper changes and playground adventures, I’ve managed to squeeze in some pretty cool gigs. From capturing the subtle art of the first kiss to wrangling unruly wedding parties, I’ve done it all – and loved every minute of it!
Oh, and did I mention I’ve even managed to get my work out there in the big wide world? Yup, my photos have graced the pages of some pretty cool publications. So yeah, you could say I’m kind of a big deal – but don’t worry, my head still fits through the door!

Check out our packages online to see if we’re your photography soulmate. Then, let’s chat over a discovery call to see if we click like two perfectly exposed camera settings.
Once we’re officially smitten and the deposit is paid, I’ll be like your personal wedding wingman, scheduling an initial consultation to make sure everything is picture-perfect for your big day. We’ll fine-tune the timing, plan every shot with military precision, and even throw in a complimentary engagement shoot—our treat!
About four weeks before your wedding, we’ll touch base again, sending you a list of questions. It’s like prepping for a pop quiz, but way more fun! Then, we’ll have another consultation to make sure we’re fully prepped to capture every magical moment. And hey, did I mention that we also offer a same-day highlight collection?

If you need to reschedule, just shoot me a message with your new date (as long as I’m available). And hey, if I’m already booked, no worries!

Typically, we kick off our day with the groom, soaking in the pre-wedding excitement for about 45-60 minutes.
Then, it’s off to the bride’s turf, where we spend another 60-90 minutes capturing all those butterflies-in-the-stomach moments as she gets ready.
Next stop: the ceremony venue, about 45 minutes before showtime. This gives us a chance to set the scene and snap some shots before the guests roll in. Once the “I do’s” are said and done, we’ll wrangle the friends and family for about 15-25 minutes of group photos, followed by a 60-90-minute photo session with the bridal party and newlyweds.
After that, we’ll need 10-15 minutes to prep and capture shots of the reception space before the party kicks off! We’re usually on hand until the last formalities wrap up, or until you make your grand exit with sparklers in hand, feeling like the king and queen of the world as you speed off into the night.
Our style? Think wide-open spaces, mountain vistas, and a healthy dose of fresh air! We’re the kind of folks who’d happily hike a mountain for the perfect shot. But hey, we’re not all about the great outdoors—urban weddings, we see you too! Drop us a line, spill the beans on your wedding vision, and we’ll give you the lowdown on whether we’re a match made in heaven.
If one of us falls ill on your big day, fret not! We’ve got a stellar backup plan in place. With our fantastic network of shooters, we’ll swiftly send out a replacement. Rest assured, we only work with people we know and trust.
Of course! We totally get how important music is to some folks, so we give you the chance to choose the tracks you want in your films. Unfortunately, because of those pesky copyright rules and music licenses, we can’t use mainstream songs (Sorry). But don’t worry, we’ve got access to awesome tunes from platforms like Envato and Artlist.io for your films. Feel free to browse their libraries and pick out your favorites! And if you’re stuck, no worries! – I have you covered!
Sure thing! While we’re all for capturing those special moments, we don’t really vibe with strict checklists on the big day. Our style is more about capturing the real, unscripted moments as they unfold. But hey, if there’s something super specific you’re dying to have, just give us a heads-up! In a nutshell, shot lists can sometimes distract us from catching those spontaneous, magic moments. So, we’d suggest going with the flow instead!
We totally get it – rain on your wedding day isn’t exactly what you had in mind when you were dreaming about your big day. Who wants a soggy dress or a mud-splattered aisle, right? But hey, don’t let a few raindrops rain on your parade! We’ve seen plenty of brides turn their rainy wedding days into epic adventures. Picture this: twirling under stormy skies, dancing in the rain like a scene from a romantic movie. Plus, clear umbrellas make for some seriously stunning bridal photos – talk about turning lemons into lemonade! So, grab those gumboots, embrace the unexpected, and let’s make some memories that’ll last a lifetime, rain or shine!
