they taught me all about lighting, composition, style, and working on the road. But when it came time to embark on my own shooting career, I yearned to create images with a deeper meaning—images without a shelf-life. Something more than a trendy glossy for a passing season. I wanted to capture that which endures.

“A really successful photograph should always stir some level of emotional response in the viewer, sometimes that might mean I draw on extreme drama and passion while other moments might call for humour and looseness. Maintaining a fresh perspective on such a well documented subject is what I’m always striving for.”
THE KIDDS: their artful images reflect a love for natural light and a balance in providing direction to clients while candidly capturing special moments and emotions.
JOSE V: I am a fine art wedding photographer. My approach applies fine art photography to the living, breathing, fast-moving phenomenon that is a wedding. For me, it is all about making something beautiful. Ultimately, my goal is to craft vibrant, energetic, fine art images that are as unique as the people in the photographs.
LAURA GORDON: I am intensely devoted to preserving feelings and emotions felt throughout a wedding day and I long to make thoughtful imagery, crafted to be authentic and timeless. Channeling years of experience in art, design, and photography I draw my inspiration from the places I see and those I photograph. I would describe my work as be painterly, nostalgic, and emotive.
Through careful observation and great attention to detail, I am able to create a beautiful and poetic narrative. My at-ease approach with couples, paired with my ability to truly see and feel emotion, have been the fundamental elements in developing my distinctive style.

Our shared love for film and the art of photography has become an integral part of our personal and professional lives.

“I’m truly blessed to do what I love. My beautiful bride has always supported me. I’m honored to be surrounded by, and friends with, some of the best vendors and editors in the wedding world. I’m humbled to see God work through me, since I am His vessel. I do my best and pray that God’s Kingdom will be glorified.” -Davy
Koby Brown: Beginning as Archetype Studio, the name Koby Brown Photography was recently adopted in an effort to tie ourselves more closely to our photos. The nature of our work is so personal, that it just made sense (after all of the these years) to set aside our corporate name and just be us. And yes, it’s still us! – Koby and Elizabeth
New landscapes, different climates, unique venues… I consume these adventures as though they were the air I breathe. At 10 years old, my parents gave me a Canon 35mm to take with on a trip to England. I spent that trip burning through film and loving it. My lens was mostly trained on the historic architecture and monuments. To this day, I am inspired by history, architecture, new places, and the adventure of traveling.
One of my favorite quotes,
There is no such thing as work-life balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life. – ALAIN DE BOTTON.
My life as a photographer is full of peaks and valleys. I am not looking for perfect balance, because with balance comes complacency. The peaks help me survive the valleys, and the valleys drive me to create with more passion.
My wife and daughters are all a part of this crazy adventure, and the older my daughters grow, the more driven I am to succeed in hopes of inspiring them to find their own passion in life and follow their dreams.
I am passionate about telling love stories in a beautiful, inspiring way. Your story is important, right now in this moment, and even more so once this moment has passed. My photographs will become your connection to future generations.
I am the storyteller. You are the story.
Every wedding commission received is a great honor, and the most important aspect of my career is the trust you put in me to tell your story.
If you are planning your wedding, I’d be honored to be part of your adventure too – let’s give future generations a tangible record that you were here
and greatly loved.
Kiel Rucker: My approach to wedding photography is likely best described as fine art photojournalism. What this means is that the images I capture and the art that I create is intimately connected to the relationship created between myself and the people I photograph. It’s impossible for me to spend good time with good people and not have space for them in my heart. I believe this plays a massive role in my ability to capture beautiful, authentic moments and to turn them into art for you – In short, if we end up working together we are going to become friends.
Together we create this comfortable, fearless space within which you can simply be with one another – to be real, silly, ridiculous, intimate, passionate and fearless with one another. It’s within this space that my favorite images are born, captured and remembered.
It is likely that you will spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than anyone other than the one you love most – I will be there with you and for you, as photographer, friend and ally as you walk into your new lives together. The experience of your photography will be as enjoyable and memorable as the images we create on your wedding day. Let’s make beautiful things together…
