HELLO THERE!!
We are Carly and Daniel, the husband-wife dynamic duo behind Wind & Waves Media, and we're so excited that you're browsing our website. Whether you're climbing mountains, hiking sand dunes, sipping coffee, or even just enjoying your favorite ice cream shop-- we would be honored to photograph and film your love story.
The photo galleries and films that we create are edited in a very true-to-life fashion. We work best with couples who chase adventure, laugh a lot, and love deeply. We believe in preserving the authenticity of the moment, so you'll find us minimizing the posed moments and attempting to be human flies-on-the-wall (you know what we mean) as we document you and your loved ones. But we're also always ready to step up and guide you through the awkwardness of being in front of the camera! We don't mind getting a little messy in the sand or wet in the rain, and we are up for just about anything to get "that perfect shot" for your photos and films.
Let's go make some memories together!!

Why We Do What We Do
When we look back at a photograph or a video, we're able to re-live those memories through the way they were captured, and we're also able to share with others things that I can't quite seem to put into words.
Wind & Waves Media has been such a gift from God, the One who historically calmed the stormy wind and waves in a mere breath when He walked upon this earth. Jesus fills our lives with peace and purpose every single day, and we are constantly in awe of His creative ability. It is awe-inspiring to photograph and film people because it gives us more insight into what our Creator is like.
