From our first wedding back in 2016 to now we have had the honor of capturing over 150 happy couples’ wedding celebrations! As the TLIC family continues to grow, we look forward to many more years of capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments and making each of our couples’ investments into their wedding memories something they can cherish and treasure for generations to come!Â
We believe there is an incredible benefit to having photo and video members on the same team. Not only does it guarantee a smooth wedding day timeline, but also simplifies the journey leading up to your big day – one contract, one point of contact, and one creative vision. Bonus – our team can capture your photo/video moments simultaneously. This allows you to spend less time capturing and more quality time with friends and family.Â
However, booking TLIC for both services is not a requirement. If you have already secured a photographer or videographer for your wedding, we are happy to collaborate with your vendor team. You may choose Photo, Video, or Both!Â
