A Florida boy and a Carolina girl – together, we’re exploring the world through our lenses of photography + videography.
They say opposites attract, and while that couldn’t be more true for us, we’d be lying if we said we didn’t make a pretty darn good team. For now, we call Panama City, FL, home, though at times we feel like nomads.
Traveling is one of our favorite past times and ranks about as high on our passion list as photography + videography. We’re right at home exploring new places with new people – so wherever your big day may take you, you can be sure we’ll fit right in. Read on to get to know us a little better…

Our story and what we’re all about
In case you’re wondering...
Our Love Story
We married in 2012 after having met a year and a half earlier at a local hangout in Mobile, AL. We talked, laughed, and danced until closing. It was magical and felt like a scene from the start of a good rom-com. We said good night, both went home and due to some social media stalking (because what 20-something-year-old girl doesn’t do that?), I (Cheree) saw that Bryan had a girlfriend (cue dramatic pause).
Or so I thought. They had been long-distance and were already not working out, so I guess I sealed that deal. After an awkward movie date, a few weeks of silence and one shot-in-the-dark text, we reconnected and have been together ever since.
Marriage isn’t easy but God is faithful. We continue to love Him as we choose to love each other.
Remember your young love.
When we dated, Bryan always said, “We need to remember this. Our young love.” He was onto something. The dating is a romantic whirlwind. The wedding day is a dream. And the day to day marriage is hard. However, we believe marriage is God-ordained and it’s a gift worth fighting for.
We are passionate about capturing pure moments of your young love through photography so that you can carry them with you as your love grows. It is your own beautiful story to tell.

Hearts on Wildfire
Hearts on Wildfire
Just to reiterate, we love a good love. We’re not into the stiff, formal, “let’s get this over with” kind of moments. We want the passion, the belly laughs, the strong embraces and sweet intimacy to be felt in our photography. It’s the untamed, authentic kind of love that drives us to do what we do.
Her heart was wild but I didn’t want to catch it. I wanted to run with it to set mine free.

Our little wildling
Our little wildling
Meet Jireh. In December 2021, we welcomed this sweet babe into our lives. The best surprise! He’s proven to fit right into our photography fam by being the best little traveler, visiting 8 states with us in his first 3 months. He was up to 6 national parks in 14 months, and still counting. There’s so much life in this little guy, and he has our whole hearts. We can’t wait to show him all the world has to offer!
Meet Roman
Cue the biggest dog lover here (that would be me, Cheree). Roman is an American pitty that Bryan rescued from a local shelter and surprised me with in 2017.
He’s a big ol’ baby who really thinks he is a lapdog. He shares our love of hiking, being outdoors, and of course, photography, but is equally happy snuggling on the couch and sharing a pizza. He’s always smiling and LOVES meeting new people and friends.
We’d love to connect with you!
