NOT YOUR TYPICAL WEDDING PACKAGES
WE CREATE THE SPACE FOR REAL MOMENTS
SO YOU CAN SPEND YOUR WEDDING DAY MAKING MEMORIES INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING A SHOT LIST.
Imagine your wedding day is more than just a checklist—it's about having fun and living the best damn day ever.
IF TRADITION ISN’T FOR YOU, THEN YOU SHOUDLN’T SETTLE FOR TRADITIONAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHS AND FILMS.
You can have your memories made into art. Art that feels like how we did that day. Feels like home.
That’s why we guide you every step of the way,
And provide you a comfortable, relaxed experience
Where you can just be yourself and trust that
Your wedding storytellers/documentarians will capture everything exactly as it unfolds.
How exactly do we do that?
A ONE-OF-A-KIND EXPERIENCE
After 6 years and shooting nearly 200 weddings, we’ve discovered this: no two weddings are alike. That's why we ditch the cookie-cutter approach and opt for something that makes sense: custom packages for your photography and videography. Think of it as your wedding wishlist, tailored just for you.
You tell us what you want
and we’ll make it happen.
FEELS LIKE FAMILY
When you’re comfortable with us, you're comfortable with our cameras. The result? Real photos that feel like you. We’ve been around the world and sat at many tables and one thing we’ve learned- Olive Garden is right. When you’re here, you’re family.
We’re the perfect storm of fly on the wall and HBIC. We’ll guide you on our methods of creating a candid and documentary-inspired approach but also, know when to step in and give direction. Trust us when we say “go toward the good light.”
LAID BACK GUIDANCE
MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND VIDEOGRAPHER
YOUR DREAM WEDDING EXPERIENCE BEGINS WITH SELECTING THE PERFECT TEAM.
We’re Michelle and Tom and we’ve got your back.
200 weddings and elopements later and we’ve never let anyone down. And not only have they trusted us to photograph and film their wedding days but they let us in to their families. They invited us along for their favorite adventure yet and gave us the honor of preserving their memories. Their legacy.

“The absolute BEST photographers and photography experience we could have wished for. The Breiters fit right in to our micro wedding and were so much fun. They made me and my husband so comfortable and we got the best wedding photos I’ve ever seen (though I may be a bit biased). If you’re considering booking with them, DO IT! I am so beyond happy that we did”

“YOU GUYS. If you’ve stumbled upon the Breiters, you’ve just hit the jackpot of big-day documentation. If you’ve been recommended to get the Breiters, welcome to the cult.
There is NO ONE out there like this duo.
We fell in love with these people from the moment we met them. Little did we know, they would be two people who made our day so incredibly memorable. They brought the best out of everyone and truly captured everything we asked for and somehow, short of magic, we can still feel the vibes and love from that day when we look back at our pics and video. You truly cannot ask for anything more, although time travel would be an option.”
— Kara & Josh Dye
“Michelle & Tom made us feel so comfortable and made the shoot fun!! We are both a little awkward in front of the camera and they helped coach us through it. In our experience coaching is something that inexperienced photographers lack and we were so grateful that Michelle & Tom were AMAZING coaches.
The quality of the photos and video are incredible! Do yourself a favor and book this couple! They are everything you are looking for in a photographer/videographer and more!”

THE BREITER’S EXPERIENCE
WHAT YOU GET IN ALL OUR WEDDING AND ELOPEMENT PACKAGES
PHOTOGRAPHY AND/OR VIDEOGRAPHY COVERAGE
Your wedding day isn't about fulfilling a Pinterest board or orchestrating an all day photoshoot. It’s about being present and celebrating with the folks you love the most (or in a place you love the most). Our approach is a perfect balance:
✦ Collaborating closely with you to craft photographs and films that feel true to you. It's about authenticity, not a production
✦ Allowing you to simply be yourselves and create memories that truly matter.
Plus we’re a duo whose worked together so often that we can communicate without even speaking. We work together so seamlessly that wedding guests have sought us out to tell us how impressed they were with us. Humble brag, but if you’ve ever seen a wedding photographer and videographer go at it, it’s worth noting our fluidity.
A PERFECTLY CULLED PHOTOGRAPHY GALLERY THAT SHOWS WHAT IT FELT LIKE.
You’ll receive a curated gallery of fully edited, high-resolution photographs from your wedding or elopement day—delivered in a seamless digital gallery so you can download your images, share with your friends and fam, and full printing rights to decorate your home.
A MODERN WEDDING FILM THAT STANDS OUT FROM THE CROWD.
You haven’t seen a wedding film until you’ve watched one of Tom’s. His videos are so incredibly unique, we almost can’t describe them. One of our clients once called our films “a roller coaster ride that we’d ride over and over again.”
DIGITAL AND IN-PERSON SCOUTING PLUS EARLY ARRIVAL TO THE AREA.
If it’s an elopement or destination micro-wedding you’re after, we’ll do a bunch of leg work ahead of time to know where the sunset is, where the best views are PLUS arrive 1-2 days early to the area to scout in person. We’ll never take a chance on a flight delay or a flat tire, showing up fully rested and prepared is the top of our priorities. Honestly, we include full-service planning in our elopement packages so you really don’t have to worry about too much (humble brag.)
HANDCRAFTED SCHEDULE FOR YOUR DAY.
Whether you hire us for an elopement or wedding, we’re a co-creator in your wedding memories and we love an organic, but calculated day-of timeline. We’ll collaborate with you and your planner (if you have one) to ensure that your day-of schedule aligns with your photography and videography goals.
FULLY BUNDLED PACKAGE.
We include all taxes and travel costs into our packages. So you’ll see one number, with no hidden fees or extra charges.
PAYMENT PLANS.
Shew, this economy… For those who appreciate art, the best thing we could do for you is offer payment plans. Whether it’s 4 equal payments, or 6, we’re flexible to create a payment plan that matches your budget.

You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers.
-
Yep - relaxing and looking natural in front of the camera is something most people are nervous about. We’ve spent a lot of time and trial in error learning how to get people to feel comfortable with a lens in their face. Relax, be yourself and don’t worry about the little things, we’ve got you.
-
Prior to your wedding, we get to know you. You’ll ideally have two FaceTime calls with us- one after inquiry or booking and one about four weeks before your wedding or elopement to solidify all the details. We use all of this insight (plus a detailed questionnaire) to make sure we’re ready to serve you on your wedding day.
-
Abso-fucking-lutely. Traveling, whether for work or for pleasure, is one of our favorite things about this life. If you’d like to work together outside of West Virginia, we include travel fees into our customized pricing.
-
As many as you’d like - working with customized packages allows our clients to decide how much of their wedding they would like caught on camera. If our prices do not match your budget or you have untraditional plans, then I would be happy to adjust the package and plans accordingly.
-
You will receive your images in a private online gallery. The online gallery we use allows clients to choose to purchase add-ons such as albums, large prints and frames, or keepsakes. Weddings will receive the online gallery and your video will be available on an online platform as well. Images and films should be downloaded immediately and it is recommended to store them on an external storage device like a USB drive. Also- printing your photos is highly encouraged!
-
We like to surprise our couples. You may get a next day digital sneak peek, you may get a 50-photograph preview gallery printed and mailed to your home. Some packages include a same-day polaroid album, that’s why we LOVE custom pricing. In general however, here’s our general turnaround times: For elopements, you can expect the full gallery in 6-8 weeks. For weddings, expect 12-16 weeks. We’ll expedite your photos if you leave us glowing reviews though. (JK bribing for reviews is illegal)
Video editing is an entirely separate beast then photos, so they take a bit longer. Final films are completed within 16-20 weeks and if your package includes a short teaser film (think- movie trailer) you can expect that within a week or two.
-
Half of our art is editing. We rarely give out raw files (unless there’s a good reason and you want to buy the copyright!) You will receive the gallery from your shoot as fully edited, high resolution images accessible through an online portal. We do not release raw files, just the finalized photographs and video. You'll get full ownership of the edited photos to post on social media, make prints, or send as gifts.
-
Our image style is natural, connected, and true-to-life. Our shooting style is fun, authentic, and affirmative. Our personal style is relaxed, laid-back, nature-inspired.
