ABOUT US
Shayne and Laura
I'm a hopeless romantic who finds great joy in creating and capturing connection and beauty wherever I go.
about us
The cuongs
When we got married, we struggled to find a photographer and videographer who shared the same style and vision. That experience inspired us to create what we couldn’t find - a cohesive photo + video team that documents weddings in a timeless, light-hearted, and elegant way.
Working together is natural for us - we've been doing it since high school. We storyboard every wedding together to ensure every detail, special moment, and "must-have shot" is documented according to our couple's vision. There are no competing priorities or getting in each other's way - just an effortless flow that allows you to be fully present while we capture it all.
Our teamwork ensures your wedding day flows effortlessly; plus, your photos and films feel like they belong together, because they do. We use the same color-grading for the photos and videos so that they are consistent not only in shooting style, but also in coloring.
Hopeless romantic (and total Enneagram 3), lover of light, travel, and the soft, glowing colors brought to life on film.
a few of our favorite things
01
places we've been
Lake Como, the Dolomites, and St. Lucia are our top 3! However, there's something magical about strolling the streets in Charleston, watching the Eiffel Tower twinkle in Paris, or seeing the sun set on a beach in Florida.
02
part of the job
Sunset portraits. The couple gets a chance to slow down, breath, and just enjoy the moment together - it's magical.
03
pastTime
We love pickleball, board games (Catan, anyone?), reading, and hiking.
04
season
TBH we love them all for different reasons, but autumn would have to be our top pick.
05
human
Our daughter, Addilyn. She is the sweetest little one-year-old who loves hugs, belly laughs, and meeting new friends. We are so blessed to be her parents!
06
coffee order
Shayne - vanilla sweet cream cold brew
Laura - iced matcha latte with strawberry cold foam
our why
Your wedding is one of the best days of your life, and we want your photo & video experience to reflect that
