darkroom sorcery
about
I believe what sets us apart is a combination of style and compassion. We understand how stressful wedding planning can be and want to take a bit of the burden off of the shoulders of our clients. Your wedding should be joyful and as worry-free as possible. We hope to curate galleries that fully embody the energy and love of the couples we work with so that they have souvenirs they can treasure and revisit for years to come.
lore
Nikolai, he/him, head photographer
Hi, I'm Nikolai. My partner & I started this business because we wanted to help couples document real moments together. My photography style leans into motion, nostalgia, and spontaneous unposed takes. I tend to favor a photo journalistic method, and I love to see photos that seem to capture the essence of a moment like looking through a window. One trend I'm also excited to see taking off is editorial style wedding photography.
Sage, he/him
Hello, I'm Sage! The aforementioned partner. My specialty is in organizing and making sure things go smoothly. If you inquire about our services you will most likely talk to me! I thoroughly enjoy getting to know each and every client so I can make sure your big day goes off without a hitch!

testimonials
All of our reviews are written by real people. We understand that trust is earned. Here's what clients who have chosen us are saying.
Philip B.
"We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Darkroom Sorcery. From our first conversation through the wedding day, they were professional and pleasant to work with, making us feel at ease the entire time. Their photos of our engagement and wedding turned out absolutely stunning. They captured all of our most treasured moments in such a beautiful way. The quality of their work is truly excellent, and they delivered everything we hoped for and more. The team was polite, kind, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. We'd give them a 10/10 and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer."
Brianna S.
"Although they attended my wedding as guests, they took additional photos for my wedding that were candid and in the moment that were so beautiful I will treasure them forever."
