The Experience: Breaking Every Boring Rule

As a husband-and-wife duo, we don’t just "shoot" weddings—we document the beautiful disruptions. We are fueled by the creative friction of couples who refuse to blend in and instead demand unconventional storytelling. We’re here for the Los Angeles subcultures, the aesthetic outlaws, and the rebels who want their memories to feel like a cult classic film. If you are looking for an alternative Los Angeles wedding photographer who values your "weird" as much as you do.
Let’s Get Weird and Talk 
Let’s grab a Taro Latte, a Cotton Candy Margarita, or just hang out on Zoom—feel free to show up using your favorite cat or dog filters We always start with a free wedding consultation where we dive deep into your vision. This isn't a sales pitch; it’s where you understand our obsession with off-beat wedding photography and we learn the architecture of your love story.
The Pre-Wedding Experiment
We always offer a pre-wedding mini session; think of it as a creative lab designed to break the ice. This is the moment to put your wildest, "out of the box" ideas on the table. Whether you want to experiment with motion blur in a neon-drenched Chinatown alley or stage a high-fashion, cinematic fever dream in a gritty industrial corner of DTLA, this is where we calibrate our lenses to your specific frequency.
If you don’t have a plan, even better. Let us bridge the gap by arranging a non-traditional background or an underground set that reflects your aesthetic subculture.
Let’s Get Weird on Your Special Day
As Los Angeles off beat wedding photographers, we capture the unscripted transitions, the movement between ceremony and celebration, and the energy that unfolds once tradition fades. This is where unconventional weddings become visually striking and emotionally real.
If you’re searching for alternative wedding photography in Los Angeles, non traditional wedding videography in Pasadena, or creative elopement coverage in Southern California, our style is cinematic, intentional, and story driven, perfect for industrial venues, desert elopements, modern lofts, fusion celebrations, and micro weddings.
