GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHERS
We are so excited that you are interested in choosing us to document your special day! We believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day.
Your wedding photographer should be someone who makes you feel comfortable, someone who eases the craziness of a wedding day, and hopefully, someone who eventually becomes a friend. We are wedding photographers based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We love natural light and shooting in beautiful outdoor locations. We strive to create beautiful images that are classic, natural and tell the story of each day.
We were married 2015 and live in Eagleville, PA with our sweet pup – a Boxer named Chance. When we’re not photographing weddings, we love spending time with family, traveling, and snuggling up on the couch with a drink and a movie. Throw a burrito or taco in there and you have a perfect night. We’re so thankful for the career that we have and we love each and every couple we have the opportunity to work with!
“Choosing Josiah & Steph to photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I felt so at ease on my wedding day because of these two! Josiah & Steph were so fun to work with! They are constantly snapping photos, coaching you through relaxed poses, and working with you to make sure you’re happy. It poured rain on my wedding day, and we lost a lot of time. These two were super flexible with the situation, made sure we got all of the photos we needed, and even managed to make me laugh right after I had been crying because of the rain (seriously)! They fulfilled our every request on where/what to shoot and in the end, we had more amazing photos than we knew what to do with!"

Choosing Josiah & Steph for our wedding was one of the best decisions! They were super professional + made us feel comfortable throughout the photo + video process at our wedding and engagement shoot. They captured our day beautifully and we are so grateful to have had them for our photo/video that we will be looking back on for a lifetime. They are the very best!! We are so incredibly thankful to have chosen you guys for our wedding.

Josiah and Steph are two of the most lovely people you will ever meet. They are friendly and fun, professional, knowledgeable, and an incredibly calming presence who made sure our day was captured perfectly and that nothing important to us was left out. They did an amazing job of teaching us their posing techniques, getting us comfortable and laughing in front of the camera and also being really flexible with requests and our comfort levels. Thank you, Josiah and Steph, for being the greatest and capturing our wedding memories that we will treasure forever!!!

the process
How We do things
One way we ensure that our brides and grooms enjoy the best photographic experience possible is through forming a relationship with our couples. We try our best to make sure that all of our couples are the perfect fit for us before officially booking. They should connect with their photographer, trust them and be excited about the whole process with them! After booking, we love getting to know our clients through an engagement session that helps them warm up to the camera so that they are ready to rock and roll on the wedding day! By the time the wedding day arrives, our clients feel more like friends and that creates a safe and relaxed environment for photography!
If we are a great fit, the next step is to reserve your date with a signed contract and retainer. From there, we’ll begin planning your engagement session. There might be a few months in between your session and your wedding, but we’re always around to answer questions you have throughout the planning process (we know it’s a lot to think about!). About two months before the big day, we’ll check in again with a pre-wedding questionnaire to help us finalize the timeline, create the family formal shot list and to make sure we’re fully prepared to photograph your wedding. After the wedding, we’ll get down to editing your images and video! Once they’re edited, we will upload them to an online gallery that you can expect to receive photos between 4 and 6 weeks after your wedding. Your videos will be available 8 to 12 weeks after your wedding.

engagement sessions
Or what we like to call "The Practice Session."
Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. We do this for a living and we still always feel a little out of place when we have our photos taken every year.
We’re big fans of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 15 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why we’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
Second, you can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is signficant to the two of you (and even include pets!) While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
All of our collections include a complimentary session.
The Documentary edit
Watch Your Entire Day From Start To Finish
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by including a documentary edit. Let's be honest, you probably aren't going to sit and watch your entire 30 minute ceremony very often. But if it's included in a video that takes a documentary approach to your wedding, you might just sit and watch your entire day from start to finish.
Your documentary edit will most likely be longer than 20 minutes. We want to include your entire ceremony, toasts, dances, and cake cutting in a single video while being broken up by a few short highlight films that will lead you to the next segment of the day.
We think this is a beautiful way to relive your entire day, see additional footage and rediscover the magic year after year. If kids or grandchildren are in your future, we're sure they're going to love watching their parents on one of the happiest days of their lives. A doc edit or what is referred to as "The Feature Film" in the Photo + Film package is above is included.
Do You Have Insurance?
Yes! We are fully covered and if your venue requests a certificate of insurance, we will be sure to send them a copy before the wedding day.
faq
I've already had an engagement session. Can I get a discount if I take out the engagement session?
No. The engagement session is offered a complimentary service so we can get to know you guys and teach you how we pose, light, and direct so that by the time the wedding day gets here, you are a pro and know exactly what to expect.
faq
Will You Travel For Weddings?
Absolutely! We love traveling! Photographing weddings has taken us to Colorado, Mexico, Jamaica, Michigan, California + a lot of the East Coast. We will build you a custom package for out of state or destination weddings.
faq
How Many Photos Do You Deliver And When Will We Get Them?
We deliver all of your edited photos in a digital online gallery. There you'll be able to download high res print ready images on computers, tablets and smartphones. We deliver around 75-100 images per hour of shooting 4-6 weeks after your wedding day.
faq
How Do I Book You?
All we need from you to officially be booked is a signed contract and retainer. We first want to make sure that we're a good fit for one another. Sometimes we can tell from our email correspondence with you, but if you'd like to hop on a phone call or meet in person, we'd love to do that as well!
