About this vendor
It’s important for photos to be beautiful ~ For us, it’s equally important our photography makes you feel something.
We’ve been documenting love for nearly a decade. Everyone that you find in our images are all real people- just like you, in love and getting married. So hell yes to being real in front of the camera and liking how it looks. We’re here to tell an honest story of your love and who you are. It’s what we’re all about.
We are artists and enjoy making art in every sense. Making music, painting, designing and of course with our cameras (which we have been doing full time for the last 10 years). Being creative is what keeps us going and we bring all of that energy to our sessions + wedding days.
Our style is candid, but controlled. Spontaneous but thoughtful. We are art directors- setting up locations and light to be beautiful + real. We let you get natural but give you plenty of direction if you need it. We think the feeling an image gives you matters the most.

Doriana and Jeff are not only incredible photographers but amazing people, which trust me, when you're spending your whole wedding day with people it matters! We did our engagement...
shoot with them in March and then they photographed our wedding on 10/15/23. Our engagement images were beautiful and after seeing our wedding day preview photos they are stunning as well. Not enough good things to say about these two, definitely recommend them if you're looking for photographers who will make you feel comfortable behind the lease and produce amazing images for you.
Doriana and Jeff were the perfect photographers for our wedding and the best types of people to have around us on our special day. We were both nervous, and neither one of us love ...
being in front of a camera lens or the center of attention. Doriana and Jeff had such a natural way of guiding us through the experience of a busy wedding day and maintained such a relaxed and flexible attitude, no matter what came up. The wedding album was stunning and such a pleasure to view, as it perfectly captures the magic of our wedding day and relationships with our loved ones. The photos came back SO fast and were stunning. We are so lucky that we found Sun & Life Photography and would definitely recommend them for the beautiful photos, good vibes, reasonable pricing, and quick turnaround!!

I would give Jeff and Dori 10 stars if I could!! We worked with them for both our engagement shoot and wedding. From the first phone call we knew they’d be a pleasure to work with,...
and they far exceeded our expectations. They are so easy going yet and true professionals! They helped us pick the location for the engagement shoot, and told us what time would be best for lighting. Once we arrived they helped us get comfortable within minutes. That was a big feat as my fiancé is quite uncomfortable with attention. Not only did they make us feel at ease, they made the whole experience really fun! (Highly recommend doing the engagement shoot- it made the wedding day a lot easier and more comfortable)
And that was only intensified on the day of the wedding. They rolled with the punches as we had to adjust plans slightly, were so patient (and made it fun) as our groomsmen were quite rambunctious, and were truly a hit with all of our guests! They were experts at getting us into locations/poses quickly and keeping us on schedule. And as if the whole experience couldn’t get better, the photos they sent us were stunning. They really captured all of the feelings from the day- their images truly take us right back.
Highly recommend you book them!!! You will not be disappointed!
Such joy and fun! Jeff and Dori were increible photographers for us. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm camera shy and they made me feel at ease. They found a ...
way to be totally present and also integrated so well such that their presence was now always front and center.Amazing candid shots, artistic shots, and posed shots. Their work is absolutely superb. Cannot recommend highly enough!
We have had the pleasure of working with Jeff and Dori for our engagement shoot and mini wedding ceremony, and will eventually work with them for our bigger postponed wedding celeb...
ration. I was very picky while reviewing photography vendors for our wedding - it was important for us to find someone who would truly capture US, naturally and organically (and we also steered clear of the overexposed wedding photography style). The second you meet them, you know you'll enjoy working with them. They make you feel super comfortable in front of the camera, they are fun to be around, and they do exceptional work. We love all the photos we've received back from this amazing duo and can't wait for wedding round 2!
Jeff and Dori were an absolute dream to work with. We did our engagement photos and our wedding day with them. They are so down to earth, and made my husband and I feel so comfort...
able and supported. Our wedding happened to land on an extremely hot day in September, and they helped keep us sane during some very warm photo ops. It was so easy to vibe with them and I honestly miss them. Our wedding was so damn fun, and they were able to capture all of our weird ideas and supply the moody yet beautiful feel we were looking for. I would without a doubt reccomend them as your photographer. Having a husband and wife team with so much talent and passion for photography and love was so special. We loved working with you guys. I am so glad I booked you. Thank you so much for being such an important part of our day. We are so grateful. (Wedding 9.13.2019)
Doriana and Jeff are so warm and fun! They made us feel like we were amongst two more friends during our whole day, they managed our requests and our tight schedule and made it all...
happen! I've seen a sneak peek of some photos and am already obsessed with them!
