the
experience
Nostalgic yet modern, we like to do things different. When we consider the photos and videos we would want for our own family, we envision something that feels beautiful and timeless but also true to who we are. We believe you deserve the same.
This is how we do it.
"They are so kind and each brought a light-hearted, stress-free energy to our wedding. Their attention to detail is uncanny and they were able to perfectly execute our vision and bring to life the most important aspects of our wedding day in their work. We are taken back to our most favorite day every time we look at Becca's gorgeous photos and can't watch Scott's video without crying. We highly and enthusiastically recommend The Leighton Co. and can't thank them enough for giving us the most beautiful gifts that we will cherish for years to come."
-Morgan & Devan
"Working with these two lovely humans was effortless."
As husband and wife ourselves, we know the anxious anticipation leading up to the moment you see each other for the first time. We know joy and we know hardships. We know how special it is to have all of your favorite people in one room. We hold so much care for this first day into the rest of your lives, celebrating with all of your favorite people who may never be in the same place at the same time ever again. We focus on the little details and interactions that make up who you are, your relationship, and the village that got you here.
Getting to know you before the wedding day allows us to document your day in a way that is unique to you. We don't use a cookie-cutter style of edit, forcing moments to happen for a specific look. Everything we do from the moment you book to every interaction throughout your wedding day is focused on getting to know who you are, what’s important to you, and telling your personal story. We don't force ourselves into moments so you and your guests can stay present, paying close attention to connections, details, voices, and themes we see and hear throughout your day and weave them into how we tell your story.
In a world where everyone is focused on going viral on tiktok, we take the road less traveled and focus on what will matter 50 years from now. Someday, you and your loved ones won’t be here, and future generations will be watching your film learning about their family history: what you cared about, what you sounded like, how you loved. Your legacy is worth being passed down and cherished forever.
Being a photo and video team, you will have one less email to send, invoice to pay, and questionnaire to fill out. You will feel at ease knowing your photos and your film will be documented in a style and approach that compliment one another. We know how to work well together, blending into the day so you can be present. Our focus is for you to experience your once-in-a-lifetime day to the absolute fullest, giving direction when needed, but mostly stepping aside and letting the real, raw moments happen.
