You're Going to Love Working With Us
If you’re looking for a non-personal wedding photographer who’ll show up, shoot and leave, then Rising Star isn’t for you. Knowing your preferences, personalities, and insecurities allows us to capture your wedding day moments exactly as you want them. Whether you lean toward natural, romantic, visionary, or goofy, we’ll capture it.
The Two-Person Difference
We work as a two-person team, because it keeps our creativity fresh and energy high. You’ll have photographers in two places at the same time, ensuring you’ll get all the shots! For example, your Rising Star wedding day photographers can capture both the bride and the groom’s reactions during the ceremony. Only two people can get you all the wedding photos you want and that tell the full story of your special day. Not to mention, you will have the peace of mind knowing there are two photographers, each with two sets of camera gear, each getting two different angles.
