Congratulations!!
Congrats you
freaking babes!
Just in case you somehow missed it on our site or need a reminder. We're a married couple. Who also happens to work together full time. So that alone must mean we're a pretty damn good team. And if you're anything like us, choosing a wedding photographer was one of the hardest parts of our wedding planning experience.
So we're here to help. Even if that means we're not the perfect fit. But we're gonna give you alllll the info. Cuz picking a photographer is a bit like dating, you wanna make sure there's a connection. Even if that means we gotta awkwardly talk ourselves up a bit.
First things first, Let's dive in to who the hell we are.
Packages?
Which means telling the entire story of your day.
Most couples choose
all-day package so nothing is missed.
Which means spending the whole day with you.
There's also an option to build your own package.
Documentary photographers
to capture every moment.
More info below
We'll help you do that with all day coverage.
We'll help you do that with all day coverage.
Listen, you have enough decisions to make when it comes to your day. Let us help make this one easier. You'll have us there the whole day, so no need to stress about timelines.
Wanna swing by the cemetery to tell dad how much you wish he could be there, or stop by the nursing home to see grandma because she can't make it, we'll be there.
It's so much less stress for you letting your day have a bit more of an organic flow. Don't get us wrong, we love a good timeline, but this way you always have some wiggle room and don't have to fit everything into a small window of time.
All of those moments and emotions bottled up, and then given back to you. Because that's what you want from your wedding photos. Real moments for not only you, but your parents, your children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews to look back on.
here's a few reasons why we think it's the best.
wanna remember it all?
That'd be us. + Yes, you need 2. Why? because there are 2 of you. And 1 of us can't be in 2 places at the same time. Makes sense right? And seriously, don't let anyone tell you differently. We let our wedding photographer talk us into only needing one on our day (it was small and all in the same place, so we trusted her) and it is our biggest regret about our wedding. But enough about that (happy to elaborate if needed), just trust us. Plus, we're pretty much a package deal.
all packages come with...
We've got a few add-on options below! We don't include them in the package because, hey, not everyone wants them.
We've always felt it's easier to add things in if you want. Rather than deleting things from a package if you don't want em.
So you can build the package that's perfect for you! Please let us know though if you plan to do hourly coverage for your day prior to the consult. We do take a limited number of hourly coverage weddings a year, so just check in to be sure we're not to our limit.
Engagement
Session
Let us third&fourth wheel your date and take some pics while we're at it. We go over more info in the full guide! But engaement sessions consist of @1 hour session, @50 images, 2 outfits, online gallery, rights to print.
Photobooth
It's not a party without a photobooth! The coolest addition to your party. More info in the guide, but the booth includes: attendant, backdrop, 4 hours, unlimited 4x6 prints, sms texting, online gallery!
albums
There's seriously nothing like actually holding your photos in your hands. And we've searched for the best album company there is and we're obsessed. High end luxury albums with fine art paper, choice of cover material, and embossing on the cover. The most popular size is 9x12.
"Christy and Josh are photography wizards...
but also they're low-key the coolest, nicest people we've ever met.Our engagement and wedding photos were a breeze, and now that our wedding is over, I kind of just want to be best friends with both of them."
These
words mean
the world to us.
"I will never be able to put words to how fortunate we were...
to have Christy and Josh capture our day. Not only did they show us in our absolute best light, but they were also our rocks throughout the day when plans changed and emotions were high. They were just as committed to our wedding as we were and somehow managed to balance being our best friends, unexpected coordinators, and photographers all at the same time. They captured every moment, every detail, every tear, every smile. We could not ever thank them enough."
"Christy and Josh redefine what it means to be a wedding photographer...
They are so incredibly amazing to work with and truly want to capture your day in the absolute best way. They were laid-back in a way that never caused you any extra stress while also extremely focused on each detail of the big day. We had infinite compliments not only on our engagement pictures but also on our wedding pictures. I couldn't possibly be more pleased with how everything turned out and I am so happy I will have these beautiful moments captured forever. They are a dynamic duo and are SO helpful the entire day through, I am convinced they need to put "Day Of Coordinator" on their endless list of talents! If you are looking for beautifully raw and real photos, Eleven:11 is the absolute the best.
SOME NICE THINGS PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT US
Absolutely! So, our approach is true documentary photography. We're not going to make you repeat things or reenact things. Or pretend. We're going to capture the real moments as they truly happen.
During portraits, we're gonna keep it cool, calm, natural, and easy. It's truly a collab between you and us, and we want to capture who you are. Don't worry you got this. We'll guide you with prompts to get some natural, real, authentic images of the two of you. We promise portrait time is so easy. We'll never make you do things that aren't 'you'.
Will you describe your style? You know, to make sure it's what we're looking for.
you're in the right place.
Our package covers the most important thing in the world, time.
TIME THAT YOU CAN NEVER GET BACK.
WE'LL ALWAYS RECOMMEND GETTING AS MUCH COVERAGE AS YOU CAN ON YOUR DAY. TO PUT IT BLUNTLY, YOUR PHOTOS ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY THING THAT WILL LAST FOREVER.
You've read this long ass page and think we just might be the one.
Let's set up a date. A time to chat, learn more about one another, give ya some info, no strings attached.
You go home. Talk it all over. Check out the links we've sent as parting gifts. And decide if you wanna make this shit official.
You pick your package, sign the contract, pay your retainer and we become friends for life. We'll stay in touch between now and the wedding day and then come party it up with you day of!
There is a $1000 retainer that comes off your full package price due at the time of booking to reserve your date! After that, we like to make it as easy as possible, you can split or make payments over time if you'd like, we just ask that final payment is due in full two weeks prior to your date.
We don't like to put a number on it. Everyone's day is different. If they are good, you'll get em! We don't cap the amount of images that we deliver. You can ballpark in around 50-75 images per hour of coverage. All day averages around 700-1000 images.
We know this is a popular thing for photographers to do. But listen, let's keep it real. Even if it says "complimentary" it's been factored into the price somewhere. And we just think it's much easier to add what you want, rather than delete things from a package. Plus, about 50% of our couples don't even live in Cincy, so it'd be dumb to include something that they'll never use.
Yup! You sure can. We're flexible! Want to wait to decide on the photobooth? No problem! (Although, we can't guarantee that someone else won't book it, just fyi.) Want to order an album after the wedding. You totally can. Just keep us posted if you want any add-ons!
We're sure do!! And we love them! There's just something special about a super small intimate ceremony. Wanna run off to the courthouse? Or to the top of a mountain? We'll gladly be there! Wanna exchange your personal vows and that's it? We're ordained and can make it legal! We require a minimum of 2 hours of coverage for elopements. - Looking to elope in cincy?? Check out our space Locust + Vine! :)
So what makes us different than all the rest?
Here's just a few things....
We've been doing this a long time. We're well prepared and fully confident to handle it all. Weird lighting, rain, etc. don't worry we got you. And we've got the experience to back it up.
Every single image on our site comes from a real wedding. There's no fake shit. In an industry consumed by styled shoots (aka faux weddings) we've got real work.
We deliver all of your images in color + bw. So that's like double. Cuz you should get them all that way.
We could honestly give you a long list. But we'll finish with this. We have life experience. Which is so important to truly realize what matters most. And it's not our portfolio. Or the perfect instagram pic. It's capturing moments with the people you hold near and dear because life is fucking short. There's a lot of photographers out there with big egos who care more about themselves and their portfolios, than you. That's not us.
You become friends with, are real, down-to-earth, people
Will work their ass off for you
Gonna be the perfect balance : laid-back, easy going, + chill, someone to help you keep your cool...
But also able to take control and get shit done for you, experienced, cool, calm + collected.
Gonna laugh, cry, and dance with you. And maybe even toss back a shot at the end of the night. (well Christy will. Josh doesn't drink)
Promise to give you their all on your day. We don't take this job lightly. We're truly humbled and honored to be let into so many people's lives. Thank you for considering us.
let's work together
Reach out to set up a consultation!
We take a limited number of weddings a year, if interested in having us document your day, let us know asap! We'd love to meet with you and learn more about you guys and your day.
