Getting to know us
Unposed.
Mia &
Peter
Growing up in Long Island cultivated our knack for seeing beauty in all sorts of places. The beaches, the surrounding farms and orchards, the hustle and bustle of the city nearby; all places filled with people, with different kinds of stories to tell. Our cameras are a way of telling these stories, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Capturing honest moments of love and life is deeply fulfilling work to us both.
We are always excited to travel to you, or even hike to the best spot to capture a special shot. If you think we sound like a good fit for your event.
