Think of us as your built-in party guests who just happen to have cameras.
We’re Julie and CJ! The duo behind the camera, the chaos wranglers, and the people who will 100% hype you up while making sure you don’t miss the good tequila at your reception.
We’re not here to give you boring wedding photos. We’re here to give you the kind of images that feel like your favorite movie stills. Our style is punchy, fun, and a little wild. The tears, the shots, the dance floor madness. We’re chasing all of it.
Most importantly? We’re the photographers you actually want to hang out with on your wedding day. We’ll keep things chill, keep things fun, and make sure you walk away with photos that scream you.
we're cj and julie. a missouri based wedding & elopement team. we BELIEVE YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS & videos SHOULD BE WORKS OF ART.

Your final gallery is a curated capsule of your wedding day. You get the best images that reflect your story. I'll never cap the amount of photo you get back. If it's part of the story, it's yours.
I prefer quality over quantity
Those fleeting small moments are ones that I want to bottle up and keep forever, and I know you do too. Every small detail from invites and rings to the way your grandma danced when you weren't looking Is going to be captured.
I'm extremely detail oriented
We let everything unfold organically, capturing the moment without interfering. Our super power is finding those small moments in a big day.
