Meet Ethan —
The Light Seeker

Ethan sees the world in moments of softness and strength. With a background rooted in portraiture and years of experience photographing motherhood, he’s always been drawn to love in its most tender, transformative forms. His maternity work captured women in motion—elegant, grounded, and radiant—and that same reverence now infuses the way he photographs couples on the threshold of a new beginning.

His architectural training sharpened his eye for detail and light—how it spills across skin, dances through fabric, or wraps a couple in golden quiet. Ethan brings not just technical mastery, but a poetic sense of timing. He knows when to step in with calm, confident direction and when to let the moment breathe. The result is imagery that feels composed yet completely alive—equal parts editorial and emotional.

Whether guiding you through the stillness of a mountain elopement or capturing the wild joy of a windswept vow, Ethan photographs love with both precision and heart.

Meet Jillian —
The Story Weaver

Jillian has always been a storyteller. First with words, then with images, and now with both. She grew up with a camera in hand, drawn to the quiet poetry in everyday moments—and that creative thread has woven its way through everything she’s done since.

Though she studied mechanical engineering, it was never just about numbers and process—it was about understanding how things work, how they fit together. That same intuition now shapes how she designs a seamless experience for her couples, and how she captures a wedding day: fluid, intentional, and full of meaning.

With a natural eye for light, detail, and nuance, Jillian brings a deep sensitivity to the way she photographs. She’s especially drawn to those small, unspoken in-betweens—the glance across the aisle, the moment a hand lingers, the way the light hits your dress just right. In recent years, she’s fallen in love with video, finding joy in motion and sound—capturing the breath between words, the tremble in a voice, the way a moment feels.

Grounded yet romantic, poetic yet precise—Jillian helps shape stories that couples return to again and again, not just to remember what happened, but to remember how it felt.

“A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.”

Our Story

The way Jillian tells it, the main reason she swiped right on Ethan was because he had a tripod in his photo—and any man willing to carry a tripod up a mountain must really love photography. Even in the early days many of our dates involved brining our cameras along. Soon these dates turned into trips: New York in the rain, Scotland with it’s howling wind, Alaska all bright ice and big sky, Puerto Rico with its powerful oceans, and many a trail right in our home state of Colorado. Somewhere in there we became each other’s favorite foreground—falling deeply and madly in love.

Photography is woven into how we explore, how we connect, and how we see the world—and falling into weddings felt like a natural extension of that. While shooting together, we’ve learned to work as a team. Jillian is the critical eye and the collector of tissues—she’ll fix a stray curl, pin a boutonnière, and absolutely cry during vows. Ethan is the steady one—you’ll forget he’s there until you get the photos and realize he saw everything. We trade cameras, share ideas, and switch between film and digital in a way that feels natural and seamless.

We love weddings because they pull every kind of feeling into one day: the quiet nerves of early morning, the anticipation of the first look, the moment of sheer joy when you see the love of your life down the aisle, and the celebration and warmth of the reception. We make space for all of it. Sometimes that means giving a gentle nudge; sometimes it means stepping back and letting life do its thing.
