Love is the intrinsic motivator for all we do. It’s what drives someone to work overtime and save every penny, just to surprise their one and only with a ring that reflects the beauty of their love. It’s what pulses through a new parent, giving them the strength to make it through another sleepless night. It's love, grace, and compassion that make this life the beautiful adventure that it is. It's love that weaves together the tapestry of our lives and composes the songs of our souls. It joins families, communities, and cultures.
Love is why we’re here; on this planet and in this business. It’s also why you're here, checking out our work. You love someone, and you are looking for a way to forever freeze this feeling in time. If creating gorgeous reminders of this love is as important to you as it is to us, we would love to work with you.
Thanks for stopping by to check out our work, and congratulations on whatever life event has lead you here! We are Brittany and Hannah, a sister team, specializing in wedding photography (but loving on babies and families when time allows).
We’ve been best friends since forever. I (Brittany) have always taken Hannah everywhere with me. The day that I got my drivers license, the person I was most excited to show was Hannah. That first day we drove around for hours listening to music that most kids her age didn’t even know existed, laughing and singing off key. {She knew every word to Dashboard Confessional’s album while her friends were still listening to Kids Bop. To this day, I still take credit for her terrific taste in music}. Even though that was a decade ago, I still remember the feeling of freedom and invincibility as “Bend and Not Break” played through the car stereo. In that second, we knew this was going to be a beautiful life we were journeying together.
Through every season, we have rallied for one another. So it was only natural when I started Dear Grace that Hannah be right there in the passenger seat beside me. Having a camera in our hands has always felt like home. We grew up surrounded by generations of people who value photography, and taught us that memories are the most valuable thing a person can possess. We believe this with our whole hearts, and love to work with people who also believe it. While we’re shooting your wedding portraits, we aren’t just thinking about you. We’re also thinking about the generations to come, the ones that because of these images will be able to cherish this moment long after the champagne has been drink and the flowers have wilted We believe that your memories matter, and because of that, our photography matters.

Hydroflasks for life. That baby keeps our water cold through the hottest summer weddings. If we forget them on a Saturday, it's a bad bad thing.
IN our BAGs
Buxom lip gloss and Lash Domination by Bare Minerals totally count as a full face of makeup most of the time.
We probably can't tell you where it is in our bag, but we promise it's there.
You never know when a wardrobe malfunction or hair catastrophe will occur. Having repaired more than one bridesmaid dress, we don't leave home without these.
This answer is sort of cheating, since our equipment takes up several bags. However, there's a better chance than not that you will find Hannah with her favorite 50mm lens attached to her camera, and me with my beloved 35mm.
