Darkroom & DaylightWedding photography · concept by Cadreaux
A bride and groom laughing with their foreheads together in a golden meadow at sunset.

Some light only happens once.

Wedding photography for couples who want to feel their day again, not just see it.

Developed slowly.
Kept for a lifetime.

The part of the day you get to keep.

Now step into the light.

Walk through the day.

Three weddings, told the way they felt.

Stories

Not poses. Moments you’ll want back.

We stay quiet, notice everything and tell your day in order: the nerves, the vows, the toast that went on too long, the dance at the end.

A vineyard, late summer

Ceremony under the olive arch · dinner between the vines
A couple laughing as they exchange rings under a wooden arch with olive branches, vineyard hills behind them.
The groom gives a toast at a candlelit table between the vines while the bride laughs and covers her face.

City hall, a Tuesday morning

Ten guests · petals on the steps · coffee after
Black and white: the bride straightens the groom's tie on a wooden bench in a marble hallway, both laughing.
Black and white: the couple walk down the city hall steps hand in hand while friends throw petals.
Black and white: the couple share coffee and pastries at a cafe window table after the ceremony.

A mountain lake, blue hour

First look in the pines · first dance on the dock
In a pine forest, the groom turns and sees the bride for the first time, his hand over his mouth.
The couple stand on a wooden dock with lanterns, looking at a mountain lake reflecting a pink sky.
Their first dance on the dock at night under lanterns and stars, her dress swirling.

Most of the day goes by in a blur. This is the part you keep.

Years from now, the flowers and the menu won’t matter. The look on your dad’s face will. That’s what we’re there for.

Behind the camera

We still love the darkroom.

We shoot digital for the day and a few rolls of film for the moments in between, then develop those by hand. It slows us down in the best way.

We take a small number of weddings each year, so every couple gets the same care from the first email to the album.

See you on the day.

Questions

Good to know.

How many photos will we get?

Usually 70 to 100 per hour of coverage, every one edited by hand. We’d rather give you 600 you love than 2,000 you scroll past.

Do you travel?

Yes. Travel within 100 miles is included, and we’re happy to fly anywhere for the right couple.

When do we get our photos?

A sneak peek within 48 hours and the full gallery in four to six weeks, in an online gallery you can share and download.

Do we need a second photographer?

For more than 100 guests, or if you want both of you getting ready covered, yes. It’s included in the Full Day and Weekend.

How do we hold our date?

Sign a simple contract and pay a 30% retainer. The rest is due two weeks before the wedding.
