a bride and groom embracing at Lauritzen Gardens in black and white

Where elegance meets soul.

From the overall vibe you're going for, to the tiniest details that you meticulously planned.

From the raw emotion felt throughout the day, to your perfect portraits shot with specific direction.

We intentionally create images that matter to YOU.

We go beyond simply capturing a moment. We plan, we get to know you (and your dreams and your priorities and your preferences) and we help it all come together.

When you receive that final gallery, not only will you feel all the emotions all over again, you'll feel seen.

"The Archers are an absolute dream team!

Their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched and evident from the very beginning. Chelsea and Jack are so knowledgeable, personable and easy to work with. They integrate structure and direction into the day so skillfully and smoothly, making it easy to relax and enjoy ourselves without feeling like we had to be “on” for the camera. Chelsea is a master editor with a clear, well-thought-out plan on how she’s going to perfectly execute your vision from shooting to the final edit. She captured a variety of styles for our gallery. We are so lucky to have gotten to work with The Archers and could not imagine having a better experience!"

Hey, we're the Archers!

Jack and Chelsea Archer smiling at the camera

Photographing iconic weddings with the perfect balance of specific direction and authenticity.

Working with us is collaborative yet easy. You're seen, heard, understood, and taken care of.

We are idealists, deep feelers, efficiency junkies, worst-case scenario planners, laid back perfectionists, and believe in the power of information. Over the last decade, we have perfected a system that empowers our couples to get and give the information needed before their wedding day to enable us to curate their perfect gallery.

A gallery filled with photos that are really real and specifically created with you in mind.

The entire day is shot with authenticity, intentionality, and elegance. With a mix of specific direction (during designated portrait times), and invisibility (allowing you to completely soak in every moment of your day).

We are exclusively serving up to 15 couples per year.

HOW TO KNOW IF

WE ARE THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU

You either have very specific preferences that need to be executed well, or you don't know exactly what you want yet and you need someone who will make sure your voice is heard.

Your connection is genuine and affectionate. You love the in-between moments together just as much as the big ones.

You desire to live in the moment, face the day with joy, and allow yourself to simply be and feel.

You value beauty. Not vain beauty, but beauty found in moments, souls, colors, light, words, connection, memories, and art.

You are looking for someone that can EFFORTLESSLY flatter your body, make you feel confident, and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

You need someone laid back who won't stress you out, but will also pay attention to detail.
