We want you to be you, no matter what that means. you see, We're not the traditional bunch, we see things how they are and find the beatuy in it, we like to take risks and see things in a different way. But we want to create timeless images that capture the real you. if that makes you feel something & you let us in, well, let's make some magic.

Not only do we love working with each other (I mean, really. It's a dream), but we have some killer FRIENDS who join us. They are incredibly talented and incredibly kind, They value the same things that we value & we have loved seeing them grow and add their hearts & zest to our business (and our lives!). 

ABBY -- associate PHOTOGRAPHER

Abby is one of the kindest & brightest people you will ever meet. We first met Abby when she was a bridesmaid in a wedding we shot and our lives have never been the same. Her contagious personality & the natural connector in her made it super easy for us to get along & more than that, want to work with her. Her ability to think outside the box & immediately adapt to any situation makes her the perfect person to have on your wedding day. Not only that,, but she will leave you feeling confident, loved and supported every step of the way. We are so so honored that she has become one of our dearest and closest friends. She brings so much joy to every part of the day & the best moves to the dance floor. 

In addition to being an amazing second shooter, Abby also books her own weddings through David & Sarah. When we are unavailable to shoot, our couples have an opportunity to still get the David & Sarah experience when they choose to book Abby as their photographer. 

MORGAN -- associate PHOTOGRAPHER

It's one the sweetest things in the world to work alongside your best friends. We are so humbled that both of our associates are amazing women & some of our best friends. Morgan & Sarah met in Hawaii, lived together in Turkey and have been commuting their friendship across the country. Based in Bend, Oregon, Morgan is focused on bringing the David & Sarah experience to the west coast! She is the type of person you seriously want to spend all day with. Not only is she one of the most likable gals, but she'll leave you feeling seen, known & relaxed all day. 

Morgan, like Abby, also books her own weddings through David & Sarah-- focusing her time & energy on the West Coast. When we are unavailable to shoot, our couples have an opportunity to still get the David & Sarah experience when they choose to book Morgan as their photographer. 

THESE ARE THE FACES OF OUR TEAM, AKA OUR PEOPLE. 100% AMAZING & TRUSTWORTHY, 100% THE COOLEST PEOPLE YOU'LL EVER MEET. YOU MAY SEE THEM AROUND MORE THIS YEAR AS WE GROW!

Q. Do David & Sarah always shoot together?
A. Almost always, yes. And if we don't, one of our trained & very trustworthy team members will always be with us to step in. You will always get the best David & Sarah experience, no matter what.

Q. Do you shoot video & photo together? 
A. We do! We give a small discount to clients who book both for their wedding. Having a unified team on your wedding day is super important. But we also love to work with other people & book photo and video separately as well.

Q. What kind of equipment do you use?
A. We shoot with Canon 5D Mark III's, Sigma 35mm 1.4 and Sigma 50mm 1.4. Those are our go to lenses for portraits & weddings but we do carry along a few extras for when we need something different. For video we use Panasonic Gh4's, quality stabilizations and microphones as well as everything we need to create a quality film for you!

Q. Do you travel?
A. YES! We love stay local but are always down to talk travel. Don't be shy if you don't live in our local areas, we are so down for a good adventure.

Q. What does "all day coverage" mean?
A. We believe that there shouldn't be a limit on capturing your story, so we're yours all day & however long you want us! However we'd love to help create a timeline that makes the day relaxing & smooth for both of us!

Q. Should we send you a shot list?
A. We love having a family shot list beforehand (we get all that info in a questionnaire we send out before your wedding!), but other than that, we like to capture things as they happen naturally. We don't want your mom fake buttoning up your dress or your bridesmaids fake laughing. We want to capture you on your day, exactly how it happened in all its raw beauty. We make sure we capture the important details that we see!

Q. How do we receive our photos?
A. All of your high resolution digital images will be hosted in an online gallery, available for you to share and download. Once we send you the gallery, they're all yours and you don't need to purchase anything more than your wedding package. We want to keep things simple for everyone & the way we see it, you already bought your photos. 

Q. How long does it take to get our photos or film back?
A. As a general rule, we like to say 4-6 weeks for photos and 6-8 weeks for films. This varies on the time of year that you tie the knot but we always try our best to get you your heirlooms as soon as we can!

Q. Does an engagement shoot come with the wedding package?
A. You bet! We offer you the portrait session of your choice as a complimentary item with the package. It helps us get to know you better and let's you get used to how we work. 

Q. Do you use microphones in your films & can we choose our own music?
A. We do, however we don't guarantee any certain parts to be included in the final highlight film. We try to take the best of the best and create a highlight film that ends up being around 7-10min long. We also include the full ceremony & speeches from your wedding. As for music, we like to choose what feels best with your story & the day, and because we license our music it limits the chances of your song choice being available. We're open to suggestions but can't guarantee that the song is available to license. 

Q. How far in advance do we need to book?
A. If we have the spot open, it's yours! We're currently booked up about a year in advance, with some exceptions. We are currently done booking for 2018 and have already booked several dates for 2019. We also have two amazing Associate Photographers, Abby and Morgan, who is booking for 2018 as well. If we're unavailable, our couples can still get the David & Sarah experience when they book Abby or Morgan.

Q. What is an Associate Photographer?
A. We wanted to provide our clients with more options than just booking with us. Our wonderful Associates, Abby & Morgan, are now booking their own weddings so we can take on more clients and celebrate with more couples! If we are unavailable or if couples love Morgan or Abby's portfolio, they can directly book with them & still get the same experience from David & Sarah. Abby & Morgan have been trained with us & are exclusive to working with David & Sarah. All photos will be edited & styled to be consistent with our brand so clients get the same experience from start to finish.

Q. How do we book?
A. YAY, it's easy! Drop us a line on our contact page. From there, we send you an electronic contract for you to look over and sign. Once we get that and your 50% retainer, your date is booked and the train is rollin'!
