Our Wedding Photography Style

Your love story isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your wedding photography shouldn’t be either. Whether your celebration is elegant and formal, rustic and relaxed, or somewhere in between, our photographic style adapts to reflect your unique energy and aesthetic. Our approach blends photojournalism with guided portraiture resulting in images that are both organic and beautifully composed.

We focus on preserving emotion through visual storytelling. That means capturing not just the “I do” but the way your hands trembled, how your family smiled through tears, and the way your guests celebrated your love. Every image is thoughtfully edited for a clean, timeless finish that won’t feel dated years from now.

If you’d like to understand how we collaborate with couples before, during, and after the wedding day, our client experience page breaks down every step of the process.

Velvet & Vows was our first vendor we secured, because we were so impressed with their precious work. We knew that no matter the venue, location or any other detail that we selected, the V&V’s team would make it work flawlessly and they did just that. Auggie stayed in constant communication throughout the process and ensured that our vision was captured perfectly through our engagement photos, wedding photos and our video. We truly can’t say enough about how happy we were working with them!

Allie and Courtney helped us feel relaxed and were there for the key moments of our wedding. They encouraged us to communicate any specific photos we wanted in addition to their professional shots. Allie was really great in recognizing when I (the bride) was getting overwhelmed and shifting the focus of the parties involved to ensure my experience was perfect.
