Artistic photographs of a dayYou'll always remember

We love photographing weddings because every celebration brings us into the lives of people who have something wonderful to celebrate, and we're privileged to preserve those memories through our work.

01 / SELECTED PHOTOGRAPHS

Photographs that bring the day back to you.

There's something wonderful about looking through wedding photographs years later and remembering how it felt to be surrounded by the people you love.

We want our photographs to bring those feelings back, along with the familiar expressions and spontaneous moments that made your wedding such a personal occasion.

Every wedding has a wonderful atmosphere of its own, and we enjoy finding ways to preserve that feeling in the photographs we create.

We'd love to be part of your wedding.

Craig Arend & Kara Luna

Kara and I have spent much of our lives working in photography, and between us, we bring twenty years of experience that includes work spanning The New York Times' Fashion, Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Elie Saab to name a few.

Through our work in fashion, we've developed a strong appreciation for beautiful photography and learned how to help people feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

When we photograph a wedding, we enjoy getting to know the couple and understanding what they've planned for their celebration, because that familiarity helps us work naturally together throughout the day.

We take pride in making photographs that people love, and it's especially rewarding to know those pictures will become part of a family's memories.

03 / AN EDITORIAL PERSPECTIVE

Our experience shapes the way we see.

Working in fashion photography has taught us to appreciate the beautiful qualities of natural light, symbolism, and the way thoughtful composition can bring a photograph to life.

We bring that experience to weddings, taking care to photograph each celebration in a way that feels natural and reflects the people we're working with.

We love the process of finding a beautiful photograph and knowing that someone will enjoy looking at it for many years.
