a tale of two lovers from coastal vacation spots
our background story
Newport is the place where our relationship was birthed. When we made things official, we had no idea that our relationship would turn into a business venture.
People always laugh because we're both from vacation spots (Jamal born in Newport & Lashana born in Cape Cod) and as a married couple it's ironic that we shoot weddings together in these places now.
Our style is composed of our love for film and all things soft, airy and bright. You'll never catch us wearing black at a wedding because our goal is not to stand out as "the photographer" but to blend in with your guests as artists, meticulously working to capture the fleeting moments throughout your day.
A Look into our
Life
1 / 2
Our family is very important to us. our kids are our world and we have built this business together to not only support them, but to offer them a life we didn't experience growing up. Family getaways and fun beach trips are our favorite (aside from movie nights with popcorn). They have tons of energy so outings are a must! Hopefully we can include them in the fmaily business some day, if that's what they want of course!

our Favorite Things

We looooove exploring! We are wanderlusters at heart. Anywhere by the coast is key for us and throw in some good food and you can probably lure us anywhere. We believe everyone should travel and explore the world. There is too much culture and life experiences waiting to be discovered on a personal level. We are looking forward to traveling more as our kids get older too.
