Wedding Films and Photos for those who value the journey over the destination and know that life is lived in the memories and stories we make along the way. For those who revel in the unexpected, the perfectly imperfect, and romanticize the small moments in life. Here we're about films and photos full of heart and emotion that bring you right back to once in a lifetime moments and a cinematic capturing of all the raw, beautiful in betweens. No other story is quite like yours and we believe it should be captured in a way that is authentic, honest, beautiful, and true to you.
A husband and wife duo who quit their day jobs to follow a dream. We are Photographers and Filmmakers based in Grand Rapids, MI, but traveling all over to capture epic love stories. We live for the raw, real, and authentic moments in life, the sparks of joy you wish you could bottle up and keep forever. We’re taco enthusiasts, travel bug sufferers, pup parents, and everyday adventurers.
This is the next chapter of your story together, and though it may be the most exciting one yet, it certainly isn't the beginning. We want to honor and create space for the journey and history woven into the very fiber of your relationship and dive deep into what has brought you together. We firmly believe that who you are, the life you are building, and the things that you love matter and are worth celebrating and capturing for forever.
Our goal as we document moments is to simply allow them to unfold, to create space for you to be your truest selves, and to give you the opportunity to be fully present to take it all in. We want the moments we capture to be real and honest, yet striking and beautiful so the way we approach shooting tends to be more documentary and candid with an eye for moments rather than poses. More than anything we want for you to be immersed in the love around you and to fully enjoy every last drop of joy and togetherness.
My husband and I wanted so deeply to find the right Photograper/ Videographer. We both hold film and photography very close to our hearts. We wanted something real and authentic. We wanted the film and our pictures to really capture both of us while also being able to tell our story! When I tell you that we hit the jackpot I am not joking. I know everyone probably says that their wedding team was the best but ours really was. So much more than the pictures and videos Alayna and Patrick care. Our mini shots were like hanging out with our best friends. They are intentional and passionate. We knew from the start that they were about so much more than money or promoting their business! Truly being able to share other people stories is their dream and they do it so well. Everyone from our wedding loved them! Perfect blend of friendly but still professional! They supported us throughout our whole wedding process. Allowing us to reach out about any concern or worry. Always there to fill us with peace and reassurance! We could not be happier with our experience with them. We have made lifelong friends and we have the most gorgeous and special pictures/ video that we are still looking at everyday. We love shore and summit so much! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone I know!

We are absolutely BLOWN away about how perfectly curated our special video is. We can’t believe they got so much footage of those days under 15 minutes. Genius! Wow wow WOW! We are so in love with the art and love they poured into making this, so thank you.

Pat & Alayna are so good at their job and we’re so happy we hired them to shoot our wedding day. We loved the story session we did with them and how they incorporated that into our wedding video. Our film has so many special moments in it and it’s all thanks to them! We would highly recommend hiring these two as your wedding videographers!!
