Anything else, just ask.
14. Can we have the unedited files?
No, and here's why. Your gallery is the finished work: every image is chosen and hand-edited by us. Asking for raw files is a bit like asking a chef for the ingredients instead of the meal.
15. What else do you photograph?
Engagement and bridal editorials, boudoir, rehearsal dinners, day-after sessions, and elopements. Videography is also available.
1. Who will photograph our wedding?
Ciara & Josh, personally. Every full-day wedding collection includes both of us, from getting ready to the last dance.
2. What is the investment?
Wedding collections begin at $8,000. Our full-day collections include both of us, a full edited gallery, and the GlamLight, our old Hollywood portrait studio. Tell us about your day and we'll build the right collection together.
3. We're awkward in front of the camera. Is that a problem?
Most couples say that on our first call. Josh spent years directing actors, so we never ask you to hold stiff poses. We give you something real to do, and the photos come from what happens next. By the end of your engagement shoot, you'll forget the camera is there.
4. Do you work with our planner?
Yes, closely. We build your photography timeline with your planner and share it with your whole team before the day, so everyone knows exactly where to be.
5. How do we reserve our date?
Check your date through our inquiry form, and we'll set up a video call. If it feels right on both sides, we'll send your contract, and a 50% retainer holds your date. Most couples book 6 to 12 months ahead.
6. Do you travel?
Yes. We're based in Raleigh and shoot across the East Coast (North Carolina, Virginia, DC, and New York) and anywhere in the world. All driving costs are included in your collection. For weddings that need a flight, we plan travel case by case.
7. When will we see our photos?
A sneak peek of favorites arrives within a week, often sooner. Your full gallery arrives within 6 to 8 weeks
8. How will we receive them?
In a private online gallery, ready to download and share. Fine art prints and heirloom albums are also available.
9. What is your style?
Editorial and unposed. Josh directs, Ciara styles, and the result looks like a magazine story about your real day.
10. Do you use flash?
Yes, and it's part of our signature. After dark, editorial flash gives your photos that bold, magazine look. In daylight, we work with natural light. During the ceremony, we always follow your officiant's and venue's rules.
11. What is the GlamLight?
Our answer to the photo booth, and nothing like one. In the last hour of dancing, we set up an old Hollywood portrait studio on red velvet, then light and direct every portrait of you and your guests. It's included in our full-day collections.
12. How do family photos work?
Before the wedding, we build your family photo list with you, name by name. On the day, we move through it quickly, so your family gets back to the party and you get back to each other.
13. What if it rains?
We always have a plan for weather, and some of our favorite photographs happened in the rain.

Your Day
We take a limited number of weddings each year so every couple gets both of us, completely. If your date is still open, we'd love to hear everything.
