Mary & Emily
When Emily and I first started out, we focused on commercial work, never imagining how much our path would evolve. Three years in, we expanded into weddings, and that decision completely changed everything for the better.
Emily Elliott​​
"Hi, my name is Emily Elliott and I have been passionate about making art for as long as I can remember.
​
Ever since I was very young I have been fascinated by deep expression through art. I have this sort of feeling I have been chasing my whole life in an effort to express something deeply meaningful.
​
In this effort I have endeavored into so many artforms including; drawing, painting, sewing, writing stories and poetry, 2D and 3D animation and sculpting, jewelry crafting and even fencing (yes sword fighting). Film making, to me, seems to combine everything I have learned from all these other mediums into one place and ever since 2018, I have been immersed in it every single day.
​
Over the last few years I have drawn closer to God, realizing that He is the ultimate artist and so my goal is to one day create a film that helps spread the Good News about Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior."
Mary Bottke
“Hey, my name is Mary Bottke. I remember being a child, watching my mom excel as an artist. Her medium was highly detailed sculptures, particularly of young couples. At the time, I didn’t fully realize the impact that would have on me, but it wasn’t long before I found my own craft—fine-detail charcoal portrait drawing.
I poured myself into it for years, never expecting where that hobby would eventually lead me. Emily and I connected through our shared love for art. We had always been drawn to cameras, and together, we grew both our skills and our passion.
I believe what makes me a strong photographer today is the attention to detail I developed through portraiture—the subtle play of light on a face, the way someone’s eyes express emotion.
As I continued to grow, my love for God led me to an even deeper love for marriage. Jesus teaches that marriage is the closest reflection of His love for us, and capturing that sacred commitment through my work is nothing short of an honor. I take that responsibility seriously, and I want you to know—both in my head and my heart—that your marriage means everything. Freezing your vows and memories in time is the greatest privilege, and I’m grateful to experience it again and again.”
