We approach photography as an art form that captures the essence of your love story. Our style is soulful, joyful, and rich – we want to showcase your personality and not just pose you. We aim to capture the depth of your emotions without the stiffness of traditional posing. We take pride in documenting every teeny-tiny tale that lives within your love story.
Our editing style is rich and true. It’s a mix of light and dark. Both of those things tend to co-exist in our imagery.
We love engagement sessions — especially adventurous ones! We like to call them adventure shoots. You can think of it as a practice run for the big day, but we also love when our couples take a step outside their comfort zones and create an experience together for their shoot. We love photographing the unforgettable and delivering the unbelievable. Maybe we head to the mountains, chase waterfalls, or anything else your adventurous spirit is calling for.
Adventure sessions start at $850.
We believe in the power of photography and the power of video. Both are forms of magic.
We do offer Photo/Video packages with our sister company Stagger Films. Check them out and inquire for more information.
We do and we are BIG FANS.
Photobooths are all over the place these days — weddings, networking events, birthday parties, and celebrations of all sorts. And because we attend so many fantastic functions, we’ve been in a LOT of photo booths.

We want our best work, and so do you. This way we both get what we want!

We do and we love photographing families. Amrit and Melissa are the photographers that photograph our family sessions. We offer full family sessions as well as mini sessions.
Chefs don’t serve raw meat, photographers don’t serve raw files. Our couples hire us for our artistic quality and expertise. We truly care very much about the quality of your images and work very hard to give them the love and attention they deserve.

This is something we’ve always considered and have taken seriously, long before Covid-19 was ever a thing, and have always had a backup plan in place. One of the reasons we have a team is to have each other’s backs. We also have a really beautiful and tight-knit photo community here in Philadelphia. Though we try to keep ourselves in good health, we are all human and know that sometimes things are beyond our control. We will make every reasonable effort to ensure you are taken care of.

We had a flawless experience with M2. We worked with Audrey who was fabulous and made us feel so comfortable, free, and relaxed. I didn’t realize how important this would be. Our teasers look AMAZING. And I cannot wait to see our full gallery. I am grateful to M2 for capturing our day with such love, support, and beauty.
