We are a husband and wife team photographing weddings since 2010. We're total geeks that love music and films. When not photographing weddings, we love playing with our dogs and cats, watching music videos, cartoons, and horror movies, and photographing other things.

I started this business in 2015 to provide people with the highest quality photos with the best amount of value money can buy. I work hard, believe in capturing timeless photos that pop and strive to make sure that your photos capture the beauty of your day!

My name is Kerri Kurz and I can't wait to meet you! Before we meet I want to tell you a little bit about me. I have a degree in Professional Wedding and Portrait Photography from Hennepin Technical College and I have been creating photographic memories since 2002. I continue my education by attending classes and seminars throughout the year. Attending these classes helps me stay on top of the latest trends in the business and allows me to give you the best creative gift I have to offer!

I believe the best wedding days are built on preparation, communication, and trust long before the day ever arrives. We’ll walk through everything together, your priorities, your timeline, and the moments that matter most to you. I’ll handle the organization, gently guide the flow of the day, and make sure everything is thoughtfully covered so you can relax and truly enjoy it with the people you love. On the wedding day, my approach is both joyful and intentional. I’m there to celebrate alongside you, notice the quiet in-between moments, and create a calm, seamless experience so you can stay fully present from start to finish.

Paige has had her hand in photography since the age of 16, taking many photography composition classes. Her passion to build these relationships with her client is to get them comfortable in front of the lens. She is a diverse photographer that loves both the serene country back roads and the hustle and bustle of the city.

It’s the details that create the story and the ever-lasting memory to last a lifetime.
