Testimonials
"Annika and Marcus were my emotional support blanket on my wedding day. With them around I knew I was taken care of that nothing could go truly wrong. Not only was their presence a comfort, their photography style captured the authentic joy and experience of our wedding day. Whether it be them going above and beyond recording all material from the weekend, their energy they brought to the dance floor, their comfort and support to get us moments alone, or their true dedication to getting the best shot they go above and beyond for their clients."

Testimonials
"Annika and Marcus are so much fun to hang out with. You want photographers that will snap one, cheers one, drink one. We got so many compliments from our guests that they fit right in with our crowd. When the smile muscles got tired and the emotions ran like water, working with them felt so natural. They allowed us to relax, have fun, and not stress about the little things. Not to mention how happy we were to end our night looking through a gift box of polaroids!T hey've earned a spot on our speed dial!"

Testimonials
"We had the pleasure of having Annika and Marcus spend time with us and capture many, memorable moments throughout our wedding weekend. They were thoughtful and professional during the process of planning the shots we wanted. One of our hopes was to get candid moments - and they didn’t disappoint! From our dinner meeting for planning, to the rehearsal, and then finishing with the wedding, their creativeness was felt and they captured everything and more! The Schwabs are incredibly fun to work with and we are so happy to have chosen them for such an important moment in our lives. *Our favorite, personal touch was the gifted Polaroids at the end of the night!*"
