JAMES MOES
In many ways, James inherited the family business. The son of a preacher man, James, too, earns his livelihood forging connections in very personal and meaningful ways. But James’s adaptation of his father’s gift gives him a bit more distance and allows him to view weddings with more of an anthropologist’s eye, eminently aware of the distinctions that separate and the commonalities that unite him with the people he reaches.

LIFE IS MAGIC. DEATH IS MAGIC.
When Jeremy and Ashley quit social media and pulled their heads out of their asses, they entered an alternate universe where reality, truth, and relationship won out every single time. They gave up on the wedding photography hamster wheel of being “followed” and “liked," abandoned the “one hit wonder” poses and the self-involved search for “the why.” There’s something better and more original out there waiting for you and the stories you tell. It’s a matter of life and death and not for the faint of heart. It will set you, your images, and your work free – if you let it.
