Who sparked
the idea?

This Insane Idea was born because of couples like you. After experiencing our own wedding, we realized how powerful it is to have your story captured with care, emotion, and intention. It showed us that every couple deserves to be fully present on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. That spark, Mark’s love for storytelling and Brittany’s heart for creating meaningful experiences, grew into something bigger: a commitment to documenting real, unscripted moments that feel personal and true. Our process is rooted in presence and care. We gently guide you, then step back and let the day unfold, capturing everything from the big emotions to the quiet in-between. We’re not just taking photos; we’re honoring your connection and telling your story as it really happened, with nothing added and nothing taken away. You are the reason we do what we do.
