hello, nice to meet you.

We're illuminare photography + cinematography and this blog/website serves as our initial meeting ground, allowing you to get to know us and our work a little better.  While we have a portfolio section and frequently post blog highlights from our weddings and portrait shoots, we also keep the blog rolling with a bunch of various photos and videos that we do for ourselves when we're out just having a good time.  We feel that it's important to share this side of ourselves and allow you to see who we are, how we work, and what we think is cool. 

So sit back, relax and have fun browsing around!  And if you feel that we'd be a good match for you, we'd love to hear from you!

Gulf Shores: The Beach

Here’s an all encompassing view of our typical day on the beach.  It was almost as if there was a rotation or a schedule because you’d be hard pressed to find the beach out front of the house lacking some of the family at any time during the day.  Can’t blame us, right? It was...
