behind the camera
Two lifelong best friends who share a passion for documenting the human experience.
We embrace the heart and honesty of documentary style photography, understanding that photos encompass and broadcast life's most precious moments...
The celebration of love between two wild hearts
The stillness of a look
The clasp of your lover's hand
The reminiscent smells of summer
The taste of those salty, happy tears
At Hereafter, we're all about celebrating the present HERE and the memories AFTER.
"From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They truly have the best energy."

TIMELESS.
EARTHY.
ROMANTIC.
“All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s or thing’s mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.”
—SUSAN SONTAG
let's make some art together
why DocumentAry style photography
Documentary photography means to honestly capture the essence and emotion of the human experience. Our most authentic storytelling comes from moments of realness and vulnerability; moments that reflect the time, the energy, and the heart that you’ve sowed into your relationship.
Your wedding day should be a Celebration of your love,
not a photoshoot.
We are inspired by the photos that make you FEEL.
We take a photojournalistic approach because we want to leave you with a photo of your grandma crying as you walk down the aisle and your sister snuggling your newborn nephew — the real connection, true love stuff. This authenticity will bring the memories flooding back, and give the gift of a glimpse into your life to the coming generations.
1. from now on.
2. life after death.
Though this may seem a bit morbid, we hold onto the idea of HEREAFTER as a constant reminder of “memento mori;” impermanence. We like to tie our name to the importance of being present and intentionally documenting memories.
We believe FAITH, RELATIONSHIP, ART and STORYTELLING are the ventures that make life sweet, so we built a business around those values.
We're all about celebrating the present - HERE and
the memories - AFTER.

"Lexi and Kelli are a tremendous team and were essential in making our wedding so special! I met with Lexi over zoom a few times and she helped me plan through all the bumps in the road. On our wedding day they were punctual, go with the flow, and SO delightful to work with. We LOVE our photos and the details they shot so much. They carefully curated the most perfect gallery and were professional from start to finish."
Allie + Matt
"The girls at Hereafter have a unique ability to enter into the energy of any moment with grounded professionalism. My wedding was captured with a creative eye that gave us a unique array of photos, capturing the very essence of the prayerful, intimate moments and the crazy joyful ones too. From our very first meeting Lexi seemed solely interested in finding out who we were as a couple, what our vision was and how she could help facilitate achieving that."
maryellen + Michael
"The photographs that Hereafter Photography captured of this special moment of my life are something that my husband, family and I will treasure forever. Both Lexi and Kelli have an artistic ability to see what only someone with their gifting and experience could."
Becca + John
"Lexi and Kelli photographed my "adventure elopement". Lexi went above and beyond in scouting out locations for me. They both carried their gear for a 5 mile hike to capture the photos of my dreams. The photos they captured are stunning and artsy. I cannot recommend working with them enough, they are beautiful people who create amazing art. I'm so glad I have these photos to remember the day with, they are PERFECT"
Greta + Dillon
"I'm incredibly thankful for my experience with Hereafter Photography. The photos captured continue to be my favorite…ever. It also helps that I felt at ease the entire time. Look forward to hiring them again in the future!"
