Description
docuvitae— capturing life
We are a collective of working photojournalists, award-winning documentarians, and experienced cinematographers who document life naturally, with creative vision and spontaneity.
We record big and small occasions at any locale, focusing on the decisive moments when life becomes art – an unguarded gesture, a wide-eyed expression, a revealing juxtaposition. Our images tell your story.
Experience
Our principal artists are professional photojournalists and filmmakers with distinct talents and a shared desire to create lasting images of the highest quality. We have documented hundreds of weddings and events in addition to our work for magazines, newspapers, Hollywood blockbusters, documentaries, and independent films.
Vision
Using vintage and modern cameras, our artists create striking images that capture the interplay of light and emotion perfectly within a frame. We’ve been told that our photographs take people back to a particular place and time. Perhaps that is because we are not distracted by generic or staged shots, but rather, we pursue for what is real and unique about your day.
Connection
As trained documentarians, we believe it’s an honor to be invited into your life. We build a rapport with your family and friends so that our photos and films capture genuine interactions and the spontaneity of life.

Outstanding work Rebecca, I knew you were the right person for the job! As far as I can tell any free moment Amelia has had for the last 24hrs has been spent watching the slide show, beaming with laughter. I loved your Man Ray of our shoes! Really, really beautiful.

Lance and I have just stayed up way too late looking through (almost) all of the photos. We are speechless. Laura, Rebecca – these are so stunning. We’ve been crying, laughing . . . reliving every moment as if it were happening for the first time. It was so generous of you to also put together that slideshow. My, my, my. Our sincere and humble gratitude.
More soon, Lisa

You are such an incredibly talented photographer. I really appreciate so much your calm, sweet, and easy going attitude through out the entire time.
It was truly a delight and honor to have you be apart of our wedding. I would love to meet up with you for lunch or coffee, and to catch up with you soon. I will give you a call this week to see what your schedule is like. Thank you again so much.
Best,
