"Beyond being complete & total artists in every sense of the word, they brought the absolute best vibes to our wedding day, paired with the perfect blend of expertise & unparalleled organization skills...Truly, the most considerate team we could have ever hoped to work with! And their work - holy FREAKIN cannoli. We have been blown away by everything they have shared so far & feel like they truly captured the essence of the day & our relationship as a whole."
"Working with KURO Creative House on our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. For us, as people who are not naturally ourselves in front of a camera, they made the whole thing easy. I think I look at our photos once a week or more. They are so beautiful and genuine and somehow capture everything we felt that day in just a photo. We are so so lucky to have been able to work with them and I recommend them a million times over."
"They went above and beyond to capture every magical moment of our wedding day. From the stunning detail shots to candid moments of laughter and love, every photo feels like a treasure. They made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and their creativity brought our vision to life. Not only were they professional and punctual, but they also brought a calming and fun energy that made the day even more special. We’re so grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully!"
"When our photos came back, I CRIED at how amazing everything turned out. Not a single detail from our day went unnoticed. The entire day I felt completely relaxed and didn’t have to spend too much time posing, which I loved because I got to truly enjoy the day. They also did our wedding video and while I was debating on doing one at first, I am SO glad I did. I can’t recommend them enough, they truly made our day so special and I am forever grateful that I have the most AMAZING photos/video to look back on."

We honor your unique story and personalities. If you’re emotive, your film & photos will be emotional. If you’re a party animal, your film & photos will be a rager. We cook with the ingredients you give us.
We capture your day as it happens. We won’t interrupt you when you’re in the moment. We won’t tell you how to feel or react. More than anything, we care about your experience of the day and allowing you to remain present with your partner, emotions, friends and family.
No staged poses, no awkward gimmicks. Honestly, so much of a wedding day is orchestrated or faked and we think that’s a shame. We want the nitty gritty realness. We will prioritize forming memories over photo ops any day.

Depending on the season & your particular deliverables, the delivery time frame may vary, but these are some general expectations. Because we take our work so personally and hand-craft each deliverable, we try to take a limited number of weddings a year to give each couple the same detailed experience. But alas, sometimes everyone gets married in the same month. We can definitely speed edit, but we prefer to give you a quality product you will enjoy for the rest of your life than give you immediate gratification from a rushed video or photo deliverable. We do send about 50-80 preview photos within one week of the wedding day and a teaser video/Instagram Reels can be purchased as Add Ons.
Our studio captures with an experience-first mentality, ensuring our couples feel safe and free to be vulnerable, spontaneous and present in the moment with their friends and family before thinking about fulfilling a shot list. We achieve this by being personable, allowing moments to play out naturally, and working closely with our couple to ensure their preferences and personalities are heard before we even show up for the wedding capture. If you want a laundry list of group photos and editorial posed images, we may not be the best fit for your day. If you want a candid, imperfect & artistically mindful capture, then we’re your team.
Some words we would use to describe our style and the couples who book us are alternative, indie, creative, mindful, edgy, down to earth, adventurous, confident in their unique style but not look obsessed.
We will always respectfully work with other photographers & videographers, especially folks who are like-minded, collaborative, and communicative. We value a team mentality and have a list of vendors we enjoy working with who we’d love to recommend to you if you haven’t found that person yet.
Super 8 is a film medium capturing video on a vintage camera. You may have seen it in music videos, tv shows, or wedding films. It’s super cool and adds a unique element to the documentation of your elopement or wedding day. We offer the option to have Super 8 mixed into your Highlight Video (what we’d call mixed-medium) or you can opt to have your wedding filmed entirely on Super 8 with our Super 8 Mini Film package. Super 8 Mini Films can also be added to any Photography package.
Our Photography packages always include a blend of digital and film (35mm/120) photography. For Videography, we mainly capture 4K footage on digital cameras but we love mixed media and offer camcorder style video & Super 8 film as Add Ons. We also offer a wedding video that is filmed entirely on Super 8 which we call a Super 8 Mini Film.
