Happy New Year friends! We hope everyone had a happy + healthy holiday full of sweet treats and even sweeter times with your favorite faces. If you’re feeling anything like us you’re a little bummed about how fast it all seemed to go by, so we thought a little laughter would help everyone ease outta […]

Ohhhhh beautiful details. How do we love you? Let us count the ways! Shooting these smaller parts of a wedding day are always so important to us, because we know firsthand just how much work our couples put into selecting them. ESPECIALLY now that we live in a world with so.many.choices. (We see you Pinterest!) […]

We’ve all been there.  You’re an hour behind the timeline because of any number of wedding emergencies that seem to strike, only 20 minutes of daylight left, and the kind of frantic energy running through your veins that can only be felt on a wedding day during golden hour. WHY did you have that second […]

It’s no secret that shooting the details is our most favorite way to begin every wedding day. Not only because it’s fun (because heeelllooooo?! who doesn’t love to play with aaaallll the pretty things?!) but because we know how much time and effort goes into choosing each and every one. And let’s be real, there’s […]

Happy Monday amigos! Last night was taco night in the McLachlan household, which means that we’re still feeling a little extra pep in our step from aaaaaalllll the guac! (Full disclosure, only Sarah is feeling that extra pep. Ben is feeling lack of pep from having to make a lengthy recipe for a food he […]

We’re pretty sure that this juuuuuust happened, but somehow it’s Monday again! Are you guys losing track of the days as horribly as we are?! We were literally planning a Sunday pizza night this morning. But I guess we’re a day late so we’re going to be a slice or two short ; ) If […]

If you’re hanging around these parts, we’re going to assume that we have a few things in common. And that one of those things maaaaay be a love of bad jokes. We (ok, especially Ben because he’s officially allowed to tell dad jokes now) LOVE a pun. But have you ever told someone a joke […]

It’s Monday, which means we’re back with another edu-post that we hope adds a little bright spot to your day! Today we’re continuing with our five part series on Creating Natural Images, and we’re oh-so-pumped to share today’s tip with you because it has been a GAME CHANGER in the way we interact with our […]

It’s a random Monday morning, so we’re going to guess that you most likely aren’t sailing away on a magical Caribbean adventure right now. (Unless of course you’re reading this from the open seas, and then to you we say “ahoy matey, we’re oh so jealous!) For the rest of us, let’s all close our […]

So you want to start shooting weddings. You’ve got a passion for love stories, the drive to get your own business started, but don’t quite have the bank account to fund the ever growing list of “must-haves” the photo world is telling you you HAVE to have in order to be successful. And once you […]

Happy Monday guys and gals! We’re gearing up for a month of birthday celebration (because Sarah is officially going to be the big THREE-TWO in October!) and thought that since we’re in a festive mood today’s edu-post would be too ; ) Recently someone left a comment on one of our blog posts asking about […]

Hey you, happy Thursday! As you may have noticed, last week we launched a new part of the blog aimed solely at photographers, and we couldn’t be any more excited to be sharing nearly a decades worth of knowledge with you guys. Partly because we find ourselves getting emails from time to time with questions […]
