READ ON Artboard 10 ALL IN: OUR STORY We were a perfect match from the beginning (at least that's what our dating profiles said). Lucky for Melanie, she was only on the dating site for 5 minutes before we started talking and decided to meet for cocktails that same evening. Imagine a Mid-West, meat-and-potatoes, corporate guy meeting up with a So-Cal, yoga-loving, vegetarian girl for the first time. We learned instantly there's a lot of truth to the saying "opposites attract." Even though we couldn't be more different, we realized quickly that when it came down to the stuff that mattered most to us - family, values, commitment, loyalty - we were in complete agreement. And so, all at once, we were all in. Read more AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU All in. That's a pretty accurate way to describe how we approach our life and business together. We like to keep our photography style real, raw, and romantic. We work incredibly hard to make sure your story gets told. We want it to be a story for

future generations - your children, grandchildren, and even their children. We show up as friends, ready to be knit into the day and get to know the people you love. We always deliver exactly what we would hope to receive and we both have high expectations (so you can imagine it's a pretty good standard of excellence). We promise to hang tight with you through all of it. We promise to show up with whatever you need (jokes, glasses of wine, bobby pins, whole bottles of wine, all of the above). We promise to be with you on the dance floor. We promise to make you feel at home on the most epic day of your life. We've got your back- no matter what. We go into a wedding knowing that at some point Andrew might be bustling your dress or tying bow ties and Melanie will be working to make sure everyone feels comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. (It's okay to have those nerves on such a big day, but you have to keep them!) We like being in the little details of the day and getting to know the people you love. We hope it never changes. Your wedding day is about promises, so we've made a few we know we can keep: "We show up as friends, ready to be knit into the day and get to know the people you love." I'm Melanie! I was raised So Cal, but found home in a small town. Andrew here (but call me Andy unless I'm in trouble, or you're my mother). meet andrew meet melanie us
