Our Philosophy

We believe that there is real beauty in raw moments. 

We revel in the living, breathing characters of the everyday. 

...

We know you probably have a little brother who has a treasure trove of secrets to spill during the wedding toast. 

We know you have a few breakdancing moves up your pop-n-lock sleeve. 

We know you've had your eye on marrying under that particular tree since you were tall enough to see it from your front porch.

And we know your mom can do a banging version of "Raindrops keep falling on my head".

...

But above all, we certainly know that weddings have a way of gathering 

all the characters

the witnesses

the reverence

the hallelujah hands

and the LOVE

in one beaming spot.

...

We feel incredibly lucky to capture all that with our cameras.

ABOUT Jerry & INGRID

Jerry and Ingrid started shooting together in 2006. Their dating relationship began so suddenly after Jerry needed a full time editor, that Ingrid suspects it was Jerry's plan all along to date her for the free labor. It worked, and she is still Jerry's full time editor and wife.

Jerry loves to rile people up with goofiness, get people shaking their booties and jumping in pools, and catching the angle no one expects. Ingrid loves the quiet moments with the bride and her father right before the ceremony, the secret handshakes, and all the details you poured your blood and sweat into.

When Jerry is not telling people to make out in front of his camera, Jerry enjoys many manly pursuits such as rock climbing, backpacking, and drinking scotch. However, one time, Ingrid caught him watching a marathon session of The Bachelor.

In the past, Ingrid has used her passion for photography for evil by capturing embarrassing pictures of her friends, then photoshopping it so it looked even worse, then posting it online. Now, she has been rehabilitated and only uses her powers for good.

ABOUT AUBREY & BLAKE

We believe in inventing and partaking in rituals. Maybe your toothbrush always faces west when resting in its snoopy cup. Maybe you sing a grateful song first thing when your eyes open each morning. Maybe... you get married to someone you love.

To us, weddings feel like a symbiotic partnership of celebration and reverence. This is why I choose to re-tell them.

As a little gal, I used to find my way into the secret corner of my mom's closet where generations of family photos lived in tupperware stacked high as the ceiling. I could swim in those stories and characters for hours. I still do this at the thrift store.

Upon choosing me to shoot her wedding, a bride warned me, "My family is quite eccentric... there will be A LOT of characters."

A few months later, as I clicked the shutter button, and her great aunt, lit by disco ball, adoringly squished her twinsy-clad chihuahua to her rouge lipstick, I knew I was the gal for the job.

Aubrey and Blake have shot with our studio since 2008.

About Ambrose & Katharine

“It’s all about letting the bride and groom enjoy the greatest day of their life without having to get in their way. We like to capture images in a very candid natural way. It’s your day and we believe the best pictures are the ones that truly let your personality shine through.

We are motivated by each couple's story and personality.  Each wedding is an opportunity to capture new and unique moments and tell a new story.”

Katharine and Ambrose bring a great understanding of lighting and composition to their work with weddings, paired with their photojournalistic approach to photography create emotional images that tell your stories in a truthful and natural way.

Ambrose’s shooting style reflects his personality--energetic, fun and a little goofy.  Born and raised in Oakland, Ambrose has always had a passion for the arts. Although Ambrose has only been doing photography for three years professionally his background in other medias including oil painting, pencil drawing, and digital media made the transition to photography practically seamless. When Ambrose isn’t photographing and editing weddings he is playing music or exploring the redwoods.

Katharine is very quiet and calculated. She loves capturing moments as they naturally unfold. She grew up in a big family, and loved capturing her siblings’ mischievous grins and elaborate hand gestures on camera.  And she now loves capturing the emotions and quirky expressions of other families at the weddings she shoots. 

Katharine and Ambrose have been with our studio since 2012.
