Lorenzo & Alexis: a beautiful spirit

Captivation. It's in the "getz mix", and part of the undercurrents which drive us to shoot in the style we use. We call ourselves "fashion-inspired, cinematic photographers", but the hard part is unpacking a title like that, so people understand what the heck you're talking about.

As artists, we use words such as "organic", "industrial", "urban", "rustic", "impressionistic", and so on, to try and describe what we do, but I wonder if the masses ever really "get it?". The artist soul is like seeing something beautiful in nature, but not fully understanding what it is you see. (and I'll admit that may partly be the fault of the artist in struggling to describe what they so passionately feel inside)

This session with Lorenzo and Alexis was captivating, beautiful and just a fun shoot to be part of. We love creating and capturing beauty within a couple's relationship. Many couples come to us when they're getting married or engaged, but that isn't why we exist. We exist to capture the beauty within a relationship, and shoot it in such a way, that it blurs the line between fine art, and commercial photography.

This session is what most people would call an "engagement shoot", however, I dislike using terms like "wedding photographer, engagement session, bridal, and so on, because the reason behind our work, is more encompassing than these simple tags we like to give a session. Photography isn't just something you do when you get engaged, married, have babies, etc.. it's to capture the essence of someone. (or at least that's how we use photography, and why you'd use us) While some focus their photographic journey in a different area, our passion is to encompass these "relational essences" in an artistic fashion; for us, it's deeper, spiritual, and definitely more "cosmic" than merely snapping beautiful images for an event.

When you hire us, you hire us for art.
You hire us for creativity within the art context, and you hire us to capture the spiritual essence behind the relationship you enjoy, be it a couple, a parent, or a sibling relationship.

much love to you all and wishing you well,

a new zealand engagement

It's not everyday we get to photograph the memories of a couple from New Zealand! Being the American that I am, I love hearing the accents from other countries, and listening to Dave's was no exception. We shot their lovely engagement at the beautiful La Bastide owned at operated by the fine people at The Cliffs. We wanted to capture more of an old-world feel, and New Zealand, known for it's many good wines, we thought it only fitting to bring that symbolism into their engagement.

Thank you Dave and Tiffany for this opportunity.

much love,

-TJ
