A couple thoughts before we begin…
Somewhere between the days of cheesy portrait studios, and Instagram, the world became horrified with getting their photo taken. Maybe it’s our tendency to be hyper aware of our most inconsequential flaws. Maybe it’s too many photographers taking themselves way too seriously (and then taking all the fun out of the process). Whatever the reason, we are here to tell you that it doesn’t have to suck. Not only is sucking off the agenda, but photo sessions can be super fun, romantic, or silly. And you don’t need to be a model to create Pinterest worthy images. You don’t even need to do hours of research for inspiration. All you have to do is be yourself, and we will take care of the rest. You are the magic and it’s our job to capture it.
We are not snobby artists or salesmen, but a couple dudes that chose photography as a way to give value to the world. So drop us a line or email and let’s take the first step to getting to know one another.
A little about us…
We met in 2010 and built our relationship around the shared love of photography, video games, music, craft beer, and our similar views on the world. Since then we have shot over 150 weddings, learning a little bit after each one. Our goal as photographers is to be exactly as we are, not a modified, glossed over version. Crappy dad jokes and all. Below are a couple of the things we like.
Jeremy Fultz (host of Turning Craft), Cory, and Justin at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY. We got to speak to the CEO and Brewmaster about their relationship with HBO’s Game of Thrones.
CRAFT BEER
The beer gods have been kind to us over the past few years, getting the opportunity to work with fantastic breweries, both locally and afar, which has fostered our already present love for good brew. Something about the massive variety and commitment to quality grabs us hook, line, and sinker. Here is a snap from

MOVIES, PODCASTS, and GAMES
{a bit about Justin}
Ever since I ate stinky poop, my donkey farts have been extra poopy. My charcoal turds have more gloop than a chicken who just saw a cactus. Next time I challenge J-Lo to a car smelling contest, I’ll be sure to bring my yellow gym shoes. Don’t fake, don’t cake it dawg. Perpetual candle wick be my jam.

CAMPING, COFFEE, and KIDS
{a bit about Cory}
If three words could summarize my (Cory) life, this would be it. We spend most of our free time camping (about 3 out of the last 12 months), are moderately obsessed with coffee after getting an espresso machine from my wife a few Christmas’s ago, and we love spending time with our (inexplicably different) 2 children.

Feeling inspired is a ongoing struggle for anyone in a creative industry. Coming into our cozy space in Bellbrook, OH helps.
