CHAT WITH US

We're Riss + Steven and we are so freaking happy you’re here. The story of us is simple, but worth telling. We met at church, Steven needed help shooting an event and asked me if I could do it. We met up at a coffee shop to go over a shot list and lenses, and after that we were stuck with each other. Fast forward nine years and we have a cute house with a crazy dog named Obi-Wan Kenobi (yes thats really his name), and we get to travel the world and explore new places doing what we love! We’re just two nerdy millennials, who love binging tv shows, Thai food, going to national parks, and all things Marvel and Star Wars.

About Riss

About Steven

arizona + destination wedding and elopement photo and video team

Riss is the sweetest and most caring person. Ever. Most days I can find her crying to videos of puppies on TikTok. Her heart always shows me where to go when I get into a creative block or need direction. She also really has a knack for getting our couples to show their hearts on camera. Not only that, but she is also the brains behind the curtain and whom you'll be blessed to interact with most often. She's a highly devoted plant momma (I think we have over 20 plants in our house now) and beats me at every game we play (except for video games). She's my better half and one day she'll be as big a nerd as I am.

Steven is a type nine enneagram and it couldn’t be more accurate. He’s the calmest and most patient person I know, which really comes in handy because I am the clumsiest person on earth and he always picks up my mess when I spill my coffee for the millionth time. He is so dedicated to his craft and will spend hours upon hours looking for the perfect songs for your video. He is attentive to detail and always, always makes me laugh harder than anyone can. He is also the most ticklish person I’ve ever met in my life haha. On our way to shoot weddings we pump ourselves up to Ariana Grande or 90’s hip hop (there is literally no in between). He is the biggest, cutest nerd I know and he is the best part of me.

About Riss

About Steven

arizona + destination wedding
photo and video team

When we capture weddings and elopements we aim to create a space where you feel free to be 100% yourself. We don't replicate moments for the sake of a photo, but instead let the day flow naturally. 

If you appreciate the small details, and imperfections of a candid moment, chances are you will resonate with our art. 

To witness and be able to experience so many different versions of love is not lost on us. On the day of the wedding we end up feeling like part of the family and we attribute that to our couples because they treat us with so much kindness to let us into their hearts. 

We are the luckiest to have this dream 'job'. Our hearts explode every time!!!

"Riss & Steven were the best investment of my wedding. Their photos and video were not only totally excellent, but also their process was so empathetic, intuitive, and made us feel supported the whole way."
