About Us

We founded We The Blackwells in 2016 with a simple dream: to tell love stories with heart, intention, and artistry. What started as just the two of us quickly grew as we poured ourselves into our work and connected with hundreds of incredible couples. Over the years, that passion led us to expand—building a team of talented creatives who share our commitment to capturing the moments that matter most.

We feel incredibly lucky to work alongside some of the most talented, kind-hearted humans in the industry. Our team isn’t just skilled behind the lens—they bring a level of professionalism, warmth, and calm that transforms wedding days into magic. From our associate photographers to our videographers and support crew, every person on our team is deeply committed to making sure our couples feel seen, supported, and celebrated from start to finish.

Get in touch with us

We’ve built this team with intention, and it shows. They show up early, stay late, adapt like pros, and genuinely care about every love story we’re trusted to capture. Each team member brings their own unique eye, energy, and expertise to the table, and together we create something truly special. We’re endlessly proud of the people behind the cameras—and we know you’re going to love them as much as we do.

Let's Work Together

We value taking the time to get to know each couple and client that we work with so that we can best tell their story.

When you work with us, you’re in good hands—truly. From the first email to the final gallery, our team is here to guide, support, and celebrate you every step of the way. We treat your wedding day with the same care and intention we’d want for our own.

You're in good hands

We tailor our style to reflect exactly what you're looking for, blending timeless storytelling with your unique vision. Through previews, thoughtful revisions, and intentional touchpoints throughout the process, we make sure you feel seen, heard, and completely confident in how your story is being told. It’s a collaborative experience—start to finish.

Something Vintage

For us, this work has always been about more than just beautiful photos. It’s about connection, legacy, and preserving the moments that matter most. When we started this journey together, it came from a shared love of storytelling and an even deeper love for people. We know how fast time moves—how quickly a single day can become a blur—and we feel deeply honored to freeze those fleeting, emotional, joy-filled moments so they can live on for generations.

As a couple, we know what it means to build a life side by side, and that’s what makes this work so meaningful. We’re not just documenting your day—we’re witnessing a new chapter begin, and we don’t take that lightly. It’s our way of loving people well—by helping them remember how it all felt when it first began.
