PHOTOGRAPHY by The Archers
ABOUT OUR PHOTOGRAPHERS
Our photo team, husband-and-wife duo JJ and Alison, have been documenting weddings for seven years. It is their passion and full-time career. They honed their skills in Utah and Hawaii and are thrilled to bring their expertise to the East Coast— and worldwide— with Archer.
They are motivated by the joy of the events they photograph and love creating images that their clients can treasure for years to come. They prefer to work in the background to avoid interrupting your day. This lets them capture your wedding more authentically, photographing genuine emotions and candid reactions.
Let’s talk about Allison (by JJ)
Allison doesn’t just capture moments; she brings them to life with her artistic vision and passion for storytelling. Every couple can count on her intelligence, optimism, and calm presence to create images that are as beautiful as they are meaningful.
Now JJ (by Allison)
His real name is Jonathan James, but once you meet him, you’ll see why that’s far too formal. While he may look big and burly, he’s really a teddy bear with a soft heart. He’s an old soul who loves listening to vinyl records, shooting on vintage 35mm cameras, and always taking the scenic route.
JJ’s creativity is unmatched; he sees the world as a canvas and pours that vision into every wedding he photographs. Wedding photography isn’t just a job for JJ— it’s his calling.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How are photos delivered?
All photos are delivered via on-line gallery, where you can download photos and order prints.
What is your turn-around time?
One thing that sets us apart from most wedding photographers is our turnaround time. We will have your full online gallery up within 14 days. This does not mean that we sacrifice on quality. We take the time to edit every single photo to be just right. For packages that include videography, wedding videos will be complete within 90 days.
Will we receive a print release?
Yes! All of our packages include a print release. You are free to print, post, or reproduce photos however you’d like.
How many photos will we get?
We don't like putting a limitation on the number of photos we give back. We give back more than your typical photographer (somewhere between 75-150 per hour). We don't believe in giving you a certain amount and then making you pay more for the rest. We edit everything, delete the duplicates and weird faces and send the rest to you.
Do you travel?
YES! And all of our wedding packages will have travel fess built into the cost.
What is your deposit amount?
Our deposit amount is 50% of total cost. Deposits Can be made via Zelle, Venmo, or personal check. Once the deposit is received, we’re all yours!
Can we create custom packages?
Absolutely! Each wedding is unique and every couple has different needs and wants. We are happy to create a custom package specific to your wedding dream.
We are awkward in front of a camera, do you help with that?
Absolutely! Don't worry, most everyone feels that way in front of a camera. Fortunately we have had many years of experience helping couples feel natural. Our goal with posing is to make it fun, natural and comfortable. We don't force anything, we don't put you through any awkward poses that you would never do in "real life". We will however, give you tips on how to pose, where to stand etc. Most poses won't be facing into the camera, and we promise we'll never make you say "CHEESE"
