We are happy to meet in-person or through an online video call (whatever you are comfortable with). We believe this is an essential part of developing a relationship and it greatly impacts the finished result. Whether we are working with you directly or a wedding planner, we strive to make this experience as personable and enjoyable as possible. There is usually an initial meeting to go over our services, allowing you to view our portfolio and get to know one another. The second meeting will be at the venue to perform a visual walk around. Visiting the venue is a vital part of our process even if we have shot at the venue before (plan to take time out of your weekday). The third meeting would be for a rehearsal (also on a weekday). This is when we highly recommend having family photos taken. From our experience and the testimony of our clients this allows for a much smoother wedding day. It frees up time and allows you to enjoy your wedding day to the fullest. Throughout this process it is good to have an open email chain or text thread to share ideas, concerns, etc.

A payment of 50% of your package fee is required at the time of booking. Once both your initial payment and signed contract have been received, your wedding date will be officially reserved on our calendar. The remaining balance is divided into two installments, typically due six months and two months before your wedding. Specific due dates will be outlined in your proposal.

After being awarded 1st in State in the “People” category in 2009 by WSHSPC sponsored by Canon USA, Jones Soda Company, Frame Central, & Seattle Art Museum (SAM). Photography was forever going to be our passion. In 2012 TAKE AND CREATE was established and our first wedding was shot in 2013. Over the years we have photographed numerous weddings, portraits, & events. Each year becoming more refined and with repeat business from our clients. We are confident in our ability to provide a personalized experience and result.

Our style is a curated blend of fine art, documentary, and candid photography, elevated by a subtle moody, film-inspired aesthetic. We are a true hybrid of styles that can adjust and adapt according to the situation. If flash is needed, then we will use flash. If natural light offers a more artistic composition, then we will use natural light. Our ability to recognize and adapt sets us apart and is the reason our results are so compelling.
