say hello to your new double date friends
Jenn — the ambivert hopeless romantic
Being the loner, introverted child I was back in New Jersey, I loved to explore all things creative — sketching, painting, making my sister model for me and my deep blue Sony Cyber-Shot. And on the evenings, I would just devour romance novels and films (Yes, I cry EVERY TIME during The Time Traveler’s Wife). Bc of this, it’s kind of a no-brainer that when I had the choice to quit my job and do whatever I desired, I chose to be a wedding photographer. Being able to blend together the two things I loved — the creativity that photography enables and being able to be a part of real love stories.
Carlos — the jovial, laid-back, kid at heart
I decided to join Jenn in her venture, never expecting to get into the creative field and actually enjoy it. As a second shooter, I love pushing myself to try new shots, angles, techniques. Having a drink with groomsmen while they get ready, cracking some stellar dad jokes, and always making sure we say bye to Mom and Dad at weddings are a few of my favorite things. But the most important thing is getting to support the love of my life doing her favorite thing.
We're Jenn + Carlos

As millennials who grew up in the era of awkward and stiff family photos in Kmart studios, we know the pain. Which is why we absolutely love natural, candid moments. We help bring out the romance and the chemistry during bride and groom portraits while looking out for the giggles and tears during wedding ceremonies.
We know how easily moments can come and go. Which is why we're constantly on the lookout for your important moments and also the unexpected ones that turn out to be the best memories.

ROMANce & MOMENTs

Our ideal day always starts off with a warm cup of coffee followed by watering our 30+ plant babies. Cuddling on the couch binge-watching Netflix is the go-to, only getting up to make some food and cover it with Sriracha. Wrapping up the night with making some of our fav cocktails (Old-fashioned or a Moscow mule).
We're just two laidback lovebirds who want to celebrate your love, your moments and help you have a good time with those that matter.
Each love story, the contagious giggles, the gushy, lovey, googly eyes -- we LIVE for it. We love bringing out all the emotions and being a part of the joy that love brings. Then knowing that we're the ones to help you relive them through photographs, what better job is there?
