STORY & STILL
COLLECTIVE
TWO PERSPECTIVES. ONE STORY.
A wedding deserves to be remembered in more than one way.
The split seconds worth keeping forever. The details, the expressions, and the moments you can hold onto.
The movement, the voices, the energy, and the relationships. The experience you can step back into.
Photography preserves the moments. Film brings back the life.

THE GOAL ISN’T TO MAKE A WEDDING LOOK LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE’S WEDDING.
IT’S TO MAKE THEIR WEDDING FEEL LIKE THEIRS.
TWO PEOPLE.
TWO CAMERAS.
TWO WAYS OF SEEING IT.
ONE COHESIVE STORY.
We aren’t a romantic couple. We are best friends, creative partners, and dedicated co-conspirators. We shoot in tandem, translating your day through two distinct but harmonized perspectives.
Liz
The Still Perspective“I focus on freezing the seconds that would otherwise blur past. The sudden squeeze of a hand, the light hitting the collarbone, the expressions you think nobody caught. I make images that help you hold onto the exact feeling of the day.”
Dakota
The Story Perspective“My lens tracks movement, voice, and atmosphere. I’m looking for the tempo of the room, the shaky breath before the vows, the laughter that rings out from table ten, and the stories that play out between everything else.”
YOU SHOULD BE IN YOUR WEDDING.
NOT MANAGING THE PEOPLE DOCUMENTING IT.
When photography and film are booked as two separate agencies, they often fight for the same light, the same angles, and your limited time.
We work as one unified, coordinated front. We share a timeline, communicate in real-time, and know exactly who is framing the wide cinema shot versus who is capturing the portrait detail. You get seamless, elegant coverage without feeling like you are directing a film crew.
The Selected Mosaic
A wedding is not just a gallery. It is a collage of sensory pieces, words spoken, timestamps, and split-second details.
“I choose you. In the loud rooms and the quiet corners. In all the versions of who we are going to become.”

THE SUNSETS IN DES MOINES HIT DIFFERENT.
“Dad pretending he wasn't crying during the toast.”
