Elegance with an Edge
We are photographers and filmmakers with style, creativity, and a sense of humor! We cherish photographs that grab your attention and pull you into their story, making you laugh, cry, dream, and relive a moment. We think ahead of how someday, you'll be able to look back at it all and remember the powerful feeling of that day. Our photography is a mix of photojournalistic and editorial, a story unfolding. Whether interested in photo, video, or both, we strive to capture the honesty and emotion of your day.
Our weddings have been featured in Style Me Pretty, Grace Ormonde, Boston Wedding Magazine, The Knot, Wedding Wire, Brit + Co, Cosmopolitan, The Westchester Wedding Planner and more.
Emilie Pickering | Photographer, Filmmaker
Honesty and emotion are what I look for while photographing weddings. You’ve spent the time planning out every little detail and I am there to not only document it but also to find those meaningful moments between people.
Born and raised in the Boston area, I have always had a passion for art, exploring the mediums of ceramics, photography, sculpture, and performance. My sense of proportion has been shaped by my study of Architecture. I gain inspiration by traveling the world and always seeking out new foods, places, and experiences. I take great pride in what I do and enjoy seeing it uplift those around me.
Jovan Tanasijevic | Photographer, Filmmaker
My love of photography is rooted in its ability to crystallize a moment, quality, or feeling. My breadth of study in the fields of architecture, art, film, and graphic design is infused in our studio. Years of professional and academic work in architecture have shaped my artistic sensibility and exposed me to various mediums, often collaborating with other artists. Spontaneity and creativity that overwhelm the senses are what keep our inner child alive.
My heart is in Macedonia, along with my relatives, a vibrant culture and history I was lucky to have experienced during long summers there.
Annalee Durland-Jones | Photographer, Photo Editor
From the mountains to the ocean, I’m always at home as long as long as I have my camera in hand. I have worked internationally telling stories with my camera in Switzerland, Italy, Greece, and wherever my heart takes me.
Before moving to Boston to work full-time for Lovely Valentine, I worked for four years as a wedding photographer in North Carolina and received my B.A. at Guilford College with a minor in photography.
I became a wedding photographer because I fell in love with the authenticity, excitement, planning process, and all of the unexpected happy moments that come along with a wedding day. I strive to create beautiful timeless photos for you to cherish and share with future generations.
Jacob Chang-Rascle | Filmmaker, Photographer
With a passion for capturing the beauty of life through the lens, I have built a reputation for producing stunning work across a variety of genres. I love utilizing digital photography and video as well as 35mm and medium format film to create truly stunning visuals. I am constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible with my work, experimenting with new techniques and styles.
When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy backpacking and exploring the natural world around me. I’m an avid guitarist and often take my instrument with me on my adventures, playing music and taking in the breathtaking scenery of the mountains.
Derek Palmer | Photographer
Native to New England, I moved to Boston to pursue a visual arts degree in a diverse and stimulating urban setting. With a strong concentration in documentary and journalism, I have experienced some amazing opportunities and have met some incredible people, all through my lens. I have learned that life is all about the in-between moments. To be a contributor in someone else's story is truly a rewarding experience for me. My work as a photographer is to help bring your own narrative to life.
Bojan Vanovac | Filmmaker
As an award-winning director, I am no stranger to making concepts come alive on the big screen. In 2013, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Digital Filmmaking & Video Production. My breadth of experience ranges from film and documentaries to music videos and commercials. Reaching millions of views on social platforms and being published in various magazines such as Time and Boston Globe are just a few accomplishments in my young career as a director.
The Huxley | Office Dog
I love hiking up mountains and long swims in any body of water I can find. When the human pack is at the studio, I spend my time napping under Emilie's desk while she's editing. During consultations I try my very best to be in the laps of whoever is sitting on the couch, otherwise I'm not allowed up there.
