The Shepards

About The Shepards

We are Arizona dwellers- but we spend lots of our time traveling + exploring all over the desert, west coast, and pacific northwest. For us, this job really has been a dream come true. There is something uniquely special about documenting couples, from all over the world, on one of the happiest days of their lives. Not because everything goes as planned or because of the perfectly styled decor, but because of the emotions- love bursting at the seams, excitement, and tears of sweet joy. Our job isn’t just taking beautiful portraits, but celebrating with people we get to know and love and documenting all of the things that make their day uniquely them.

So what’s it like to work with us?

We are completely aware that most people aren’t always comfortable in front of the camera. So, we approach engagement sessions like a double date. We’ll head somewhere awesome and wander around for a bit while we get to know each other- plus a lot of laughing and sarcasm (and if Andria can sneak it in there, she’ll likely ask if you like true-crime podcasts *insert eye-roll*). After a bit, we’ll pull out our cameras and get you guys snuggling and flirting and being ridiculous together… and that’s how those magic photos are made.

Every wedding is unique- but we’re present and involved when it’s appropriate and blend in when it’s necessary. Many of our couples (and their bridal parties) have told us that by the end of the day, they forgot we were their photographers and not just friends celebrating with them (WAHOO best compliment ever).

In a nutshell- we’ll all have a good time creating killer images.
