The backstory
We named our
business after our
dating relationship.
Ours was a classic tale of boy meets girl. Girl friend-zones boy. Boy persists and takes girl out on date. Girl breaks up with boy. Boy persists again. Girl breaks up with boy again. Boy sets firm boundaries. Girl misses boy. Boy invites girl to New Year’s party. Girl wants to date boy again. Boy makes it clear it’s marriage or bust this time. Girl agrees. It was a bit chaotic, and our friends jokingly referred to it as “the endless pursuit.”
About us
15 years of adventuring through married life together
We have learned a thing or two now that we’re over fifteen years into this marriage thing, with three kids, a few moves, a bunch of road trips, a couple career switches, a pandemic, and leading a team of world class documentary wedding photographers.
We’ve learned that the pursuit is never really over; in fact it’s really the main reason we’re here. The pursuit, the journey, or whatever you want to call the story of two people is one of the greatest things in the entire world. The story element between people is what has drawn us so deeply into this extraordinary world of weddings and why we love what we do. It reminds us why we started this journey together and why it’s all so very worth it.
Principal Photographer
Bernadette Dalgetty
Wife. Mother. Lover of emotion.
Bernadette is the personality hire. But in a good way. She is infinitely curious about the people around her and photography and poetry are the ways she probes and processes. Her children have made her ridiculously nostalgic, which she brings into every wedding she works, thinking beyond the moment in front of her of how this photograph will be viewed through the ages.
On any given day, you can find Bernadette enjoying nature, reading a classic, discussing a recent podcast, sipping red wine, mastering her curls, or thrifting new shoes.
Principal photographer
Steve Dalgetty
Husband. Father. Lover of story.
Steve is the researcher, the analyst, the brain behind the brains of this business. But don't let that lead you to believe he isn't a romantic at heart - he is, after all, the pursuer of Bernadette. His love of management software is completely overshadowed by his love of his children and all of the ways they have made him more creative and more adventurous in his work and in his life.
On a any given day, you can find Steve listening to live music, playing live music, sipping bourbon, perfecting his beard, or getting a new tattoo.
Associate Photographer
Victoria Corcoran
Wife. Mother. Lover of beauty.
Victoria is the lionhearted lion tamer. With 5 children and a hilarious husband, she is undaunted and hardworking. She embraces the chaos and joy of a wedding day like the professional she is. She is drawn to the loveliness of life because her experience has taught her it's not to be taken for granted.
On any given day, you can find Victoria on a hike with her kiddos, literally chasing waterfalls, looking out for good light, curled up with a good book, or deep in a cup of coffee.
We Value
Our family
Our faith
Adventure
Gratitude
Laughter
We embrace a life of uninhibited joy and adventure. We embrace a life of laughter.
As parents of three kids, we know this life goes by quickly. We've tried to be intentional and build a life that puts our family and our Christian Faith at the center of everything we do.
From moving into a 130-year-old home across the street from our church, to home schooling for over a decade with a flexible schedule for extended travel with our kids, to building a business that lets us lean into creativity which nourishes our soul... this life is wonderful and worth the pursuit.
Deep rest
"They are kind, passionate, and true creatives."
— Merry & Dom
We know that we will cherish these pictures that capture the most significant moments as well as the details of our wedding.
