THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST + BEYOND.
Wanting a day that is uniquely yours and creating memories that will actually last a lifetime.
We wholeheartedly believe that being in the moment, fully present and alive, is when beautiful memories are made.
WE ARE MORE THAN JUST A PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
We’re so stoked you’re here and that you two have decided to do this your way!
No worrying about who can or can’t make it… no stressing over seating charts or venue capacities. You’re free to create an experience that’s entirely about the two of you. The world is your oyster! (And trust us, it’s a pretty epic oyster.)
But we get it… when the possibilities are endless, suddenly there are a lot of decisions to make. Where do you even start?!
That’s where we come in.
We’re your adventure guides, planning pros, and biggest cheerleaders. From dreaming up your perfect day to sorting the details and backup plans, we’ve got your back every step of the way!
Hola!
We’re Mariela & Demetris
"We’re kinda like an IT geek and a banker who bumped into each other on Black Planet 22 years ago - who would've thought swiping right would lead to love... and not a sketchy pop-up virus?"
Like you two, we’re a team—we move together effortlessly, in sync. Our silence speaks volumes, and when we do chime in, it’s with encouragement, guidance, and a little fun to keep things light. We know how to bring out the best in each other, which means your day flows smoothly and naturally.
Our gear is an extension of our artistry.
I’m there capturing all those real, candid moments through photos. Demetris is right by my side, filming all the in-between magic and movement. We balance each other out, fill in each other’s gaps, and bring out the absolute best in one another—so you get a seamless, relaxed, and super fun experience from start to finish.
We believe in Life, Laughter and Love
We’re best friends, husband and wife, business partners, and your go-to photographer and videographer team. We’re always on the move, chasing new horizons and creating memories. Road trips are our favorite ways to unwind.
Whether you dream of saying “I do” under the golden glow of a desert sunset…
Or you envision a quiet ceremony by a crystal-clear alpine lake, with your pup by your side…
Or you’re up for an adventure to a hidden redwood spot just for you…
Or the city lights call out to you, and the energy and bustle surrounding you…
Or *anything* in between—we’re all in.
Your love story is one-of-a-kind, and we’re here to help you celebrate it in a way that feels authentically *you*. Let’s create something unforgettable together. Adventure is calling—let’s answer it.
Food adventures together — When we’re not home cooking together in the kitchen
We welcome snuggle time on chill nights, crispy mornings, and the occasional little rain.
The California coast has our hearts.
When Demetris isn’t making me delicious coffee at home, we are always hunting for quality coffee on our daily adventures; it’s the elixir of life.
We’ll help you plan every single detail!
You get to show up and be taken care of, and Your only job is to be in love, have fun, and be in the moment
PLAN your adventure entirely - from start to finish, we customize everything to fit you both.
Scout out your dream location if you don’t already have one in mind—but we will also have a few backups in case life throws us a curveball. We can easily go with the flow and breeze on.
Secure your permits, if required, depending on your location
Recommend Florists, Hair & Makeup Artists, officiants, and any other needs to help you save time and stress.
We will capture every epic moment and beautiful soft moment on your elopement day
BUT WE ALSO…………………….
Manage the timeline for the whole day so you can relax, have fun, and be in the moment. The last thing we want is for you to be checking your watch and worrying about logistics.
We will keep in touch with you throughout the process and plan as much or as little as you need. So you are confident and comfortable;e from start to finish.
We bring everything we need to have the best time no matter what happens or where the day may take us. We bring extra blankets, a cooler with fluids to stay hydrated, snacks, and more.
