DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

Photography for adventurous souls and rebels at heart.

If you’re looking to hire a wedding photographer who can capture your big day in a “not so traditional” way, then you’re in the right place. We are Alternative Portraiture & Documentary Wedding Photographers based in sunny (and sometimes rainy) South Florida, and we like to think of ourselves as friendly, honest, and quirky (the good kind, we promise). We are creative beings at heart and love to tell stories unconventionally.

"Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.””"

— DON MCCULLIN

So what exactly is alternative portraiture and DOCUMENTARY photography?


So what exactly is alternative portraiture and Documentary photography? Well, take everything you thought you knew about wedding photography and throw it out the window. If you’re looking for orchestrated, polished and super posed photos, we’re probably not for you. But that’s okay. We’re not for everybody. Looking for something more real and as unique as you?



You know those little moments that you think no one else notices? That inside joke your partner just whispered in your ear, a subtle kiss on the forehead, lovingly tucking that loose strand of hair behind your ear, the comfy pair of converse that you snuck into under that lacey gown — those are the moments we like to capture. And those are the moments that we think make your day so special. 


If you love candid's (as much as we do), if you want to feel a million emotions in just one photograph, then alternative and documentary style photography is the way to go. It’s less posed, more relaxed. Less staged, more authentic. Less altered, more honest. 

While weddings are our jam, we love documenting all sorts of special moments. So if you’re looking for a family photographer, a maternity photographer or even a boudoir photographer — we got you covered.

Testimonials

Words can’t even begin to describe how incredible Erika and Loy are. It’s easy to see in their work that they have an eye for detail that sets their photos apart from the rest. From the moment I had my initial FaceTime with Erika, up until today, she’s been easy to contact, helpful, knowledgable, and all of the above! What stuck out to me the most when getting my wedding photos back is how the both of them were able to capture the personalities of all of the people who attended the wedding.
