And there's nothing we'd rather be doing than capturing some of the best moments of your lives.
We're ally and sam.
the two behind the cameras.
During the summer of 2018, we took a spontaneous 2-hour drive north and brought our camera to a sunflower field in Cecil, WI. Upon arrival, we saw others getting their photos taken and loved the idea of capturing moments for others. That day, we decided to combine our skills and start our own business. We began documenting weddings during our senior year in high school, and in early 2019, we became an LLC and decided to see where this passion of ours would take us. Later that same year, in July, we exchanged vows at the same sunflower field that held such a special place in our hearts. Shortly after, we welcomed home a puppy and named him Cecil, after such a meaningful place to us. In 2021, we expanded our little family by adding another pup, Cooper, although there was no particular meaning behind his name. Now, we continue to document life’s milestones for others and are truly so thankful.

To us, the best feeling is driving with the windows down, music playing, and taking in the day together. Our go to drive is driving down N Lincoln Memorial Drive in Milwaukee, so we can watch the waves, smell the fresh air, and admire the city in the background.

Ally is a strong believer in always leaving room for dessert so custard is a must. Sometimes we let our dogs join us and have a scoop of custard too. Sitting in the car with a good scoop of custard and talking about life is a nice little getaway.

This is a BIG thing that we love to do and try to do more of as people don't see much of us (besides our couples of course) between May and October. We take in every moment we have with friends & family and cherish every moment we have with them.
Dinners and time with friends & family
Enjoying the outdoors with our dogs & hiking
Having dogs requires spending lots of time outside which we don't complain about at all. They help us enjoy life more and even in the chaos they teach us to get outside and take a break.
We believe the best things in life aren't planned. One of our favorite things we ever did when we lived in downtown Milwaukee was running to The Lumineers concert as it was about to start and buying tickets on the spot.
