We believe in true love.  We think with hard work, and selflessness, it can last a lifetime.  We believe that a good bar of chocolate cures a lot of problems.  We believe in the love of dogs and the magic of Marfa, Texas.

We believe in marriage.  We think weddings are the best parties around.

We are storytellers.  We believe real love stories are the kind worth telling.

We are photographers.  We live for the still image.  We believe great photographs have meaning for generations. We love to make images that tingle your nose and put a lump in your throat. We love to make images that make you laugh with your mouth open.

We are based in Austin, TX & Southwest Colorado, and travel world-wide for destination weddings and engagements. Since 2010 we have photographed over 200 weddings across Texas, Colorado, the United States, and internationally, and are consistently recognized among the best engagement & wedding photographers in Austin.

& You...

You are a couple looking for more than somebody to show up at your wedding ceremony and snap a few pictures. You want photographers who understand what’s important to you, so you don’t have to worry about them on your wedding day. Photographers who want to celebrate alongside you. Who might just shed a few tears during your ceremony. Because your wedding day is an extraordinary day. And the photos that tell your story matter.

You believe weddings don’t have to look a certain way, as long as they are honest, and true. You believe the most important part of a wedding is what comes after it.

Welcome to You Are My True. We’re going to get along famously.

Thank you so much for everything. It was reliving the entire day all over again. When Arnaud saw the photos, he teared up.

We are so in love with these amazing photos. I cried my way through the entire album. We feel so lucky that the four of us found each other. These photos are a clear combination of y'alls artistic style and our wants and needs as customers. When looking at these photos, we definitely feel listened to and our story honored. We're so surprised by several of the photos because y'all were never in the way, never noticeable in a bad way, and yet you seemed to have been everywhere!

Thank you both so so SO much for being our wedding photographers. We're beyond ECSTATIC with how well they turned out. You captured us beautifully. We got emotional several times while reviewing them together for the first time, and Isabel has probably looked at them at least 500 times since then. We were also happy you were there at the wedding as our new friends. We are so happy and grateful we chose you.

You captured so many perfect moments so perfectly. The ones we wanted and the ones we didn't know we needed. We couldn't be happier with all of them. Just speechless.
