Our Story

Family Owned. Family Named.

The name comes from Kristen choosing the February 4 and February 21 birthdays of our two children. We are a family business based in Blythewood, South Carolina.

Blythewood is home, and much of our work begins with businesses, people, and celebrations across South Carolina and the Carolinas. Wedding films take us throughout the Southeast. Being on location lets the character of a workplace, property, or gathering remain part of the story.

Commercial photography, video, portraits, and wedding films require different pacing, but they share the same values. We observe first, offer direction where it is useful, and build from the people, places, and activity that are actually present.

For businesses, on-location batched shoots can create a connected library for websites, social media, advertising, and future campaigns. Client-facing visuals come from the real business rather than generated substitutes. Additional services include strategy, copy, branding, web design, and podcast production.

For couples, the approach becomes warm, cinematic, and documentary. The film follows the real voices, movement, relationships, and emotion of the wedding instead of manufacturing moments for the camera.

Each relationship begins by understanding the actual need: what a customer should learn, what a family wants to remember, and where the finished photographs or films will live. That keeps creative choices connected to a clear purpose.

The family foundation behind the name is not a separate brand story pasted onto the work. It is a reminder that the people in front of the camera have their own relationships, livelihoods, and histories, and those deserve attentive treatment.

That perspective also keeps the process straightforward. The aim is not to impose a generic style on every client, but to make careful photographs, films, and marketing materials that fit the real subject and remain useful after the initial project is complete.
