The Curated, High End Wedding Photography Experience Brides Deserve
When you’re planning a high end wedding you’re probably staring at what feels like an endless list of photographers. Everybody promises epic photos. Everybody says they’ll “capture your day.” The truth is you don’t just need someone who takes pretty pictures. You need someone who cares about how the whole day feels. The right photographer doesn’t just show up and snap. They help shape the rhythm of the day, they protect the space for memories, and they notice the little things that end up meaning the most. That’s why our couples hire us.
We build relationships
Your wedding is not a corporate event. It’s your life, your people, your heart out loud. So the last thing you need is a stranger with a camera barking orders. By the time we arrive we already know you, your story, and your priorities. That’s why you’ll feel like you have friends in the room — who just happen to carry cameras. Not focused on “efficiency” or trends or “content” but YOU.
“If you want authentic photographs, you have to build real relationships first.” – Miles, Narrative Interview
We plan with intention
A high end wedding should never feel like a sprint. You shouldn’t feel like you’re racing through your own day. We build timelines that breathe: time to laugh, hug, sip, sneak away for portraits at golden hour, and be fully present on the dance floor. Your day should feel curated, not chaotic.
For couples who want to dive deeper, we’ve written a full guide on how to plan a stress-free wedding timeline.
“Intention isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the difference between a wedding day that feels frantic and one that feels full.” – Miles, Pixieset Podcast
Tips for planning a high end wedding photography experience
Because I’ve been to more weddings than I can count, here’s some free advice you’ll actually use:
Book your photographer early — the most intentional photographers book 12–18 months out.
Plan around light — golden hour is your best friend. Build your portraits around it.
Leave margin in your schedule — you’ll never regret time for champagne with your people.
Trust your photographer — you chose them for their artistry, not their ability to follow a checklist.
Invest in heirloom albums — screens fade, but albums become legacy.
Work with collaborative vendors — a seamless team makes your day flow with ease.

We create with artistry
Trends fade. Your wedding deserves more than filters and presets that will look dated in a year. We create with fine art intention, cinematic color, and timeless composition. Fifty years from now, your photos should still feel as alive as the moment they were taken.
“Artistry means telling stories in a way that still feels relevant fifty years later.” – Miles, Shoot The Veil Feature
As Shoot The Veil described, Miles is an “internationally acclaimed wedding and portrait photographer … a Fujifilm Global Ambassador … blending artistry with intentionality.” That kind of recognition isn’t by accident — it’s the result of choosing craft over convenience.
We curate every experience
We don’t believe in cookie cutter packages. We ask questions, listen, and design your photography experience around your vision. Every couple is different, and their story deserves to be told in a way that reflects that uniqueness.
We advocate for what matters most
We are not wallpaper. We don’t hover in the background and hope things go well. We step in when needed, protect your moments, and make sure you get the time you want with your family and friends. Couples hire us because they know we’ll fight for their priorities.
We value presence more than perfection
Perfection is overrated. Presence is everything. The most unforgettable photos aren’t staged — they’re lived. The tear in your dad’s eye. The roar of the dance floor. The quiet walk at sunset. Those are the moments you’ll treasure most, and we’ll be there to capture them with artistry and care.
“Presence is where the real beauty lives. That’s what makes the photos feel alive.” – Miles, Pixieset Podcast
We hold ourselves to a higher standard
We’ve actually lost weddings because planners thought we cared “too much.” Which is wild to me. But when you’re investing in a high end wedding, shouldn’t you want someone who cares as much as you do? We hold ourselves to that higher standard because your day deserves it.
We don’t just serve brides, we teach photographers how to serve brides
This is where it gets especially fun. We don’t just photograph weddings. We teach, mentor, and help shape how photographers think about their clients. Through PHOTOCO, we run trainings, podcasts, and build relationships with some of the best brands in the industry — all so the photography world serves couples better, more intentionally, and more sustainably.
When you hire us, you’re not just hiring photographers. You’re investing in educators whose influence reaches far beyond your wedding day.

“What it really means to be the most valuable person in the room is not your cameras. It’s how you make people feel, how you lead, how you care.” – Miles, This Can’t Be That Hard Podcast
“Brides who hire us aren’t just investing in photos. They’re investing in the perspective of someone helping shape the industry itself.” – Miles, Photographic Collective Podcast
This isn’t just photography. It’s a movement we’re building — one that elevates every couple we serve and every photographer we teach.
