Hey everyone! Happy New Year!
We just wanted to take this time to express our gratitude to our incredible clients and support system, who’ve been the backbone of our journey. 2023 was a wild year, to say the least, but we’re so excited to see what this new year has in store.
We’re so excited to announce that we have officially closed out our bookings for 2024 and have now opened up bookings for 2025!
There’s so much to share, and we cannot wait to show you what we’ve been pouring our time into. From working with new couples to diving into new ventures/passion projects, there’s a lot to look forward to this year. Thanks so much for sticking around with us.
Cheers,
Your friends at FJM ✌🏻
Kyle & Ashley’s weddings one of those days I’ll always come back to. It genuinely shifted something in how I shoot; less anticipating, more observing. The family, the friends, those quiet glances between two people completely in it together. Recently I reunited with them for their maternity shoot and all of it came right back - the laughter, the goofiness, and that same feeling that we all shared on the wedding day.
We also found out recently that Brownstone Gardens featured our work on their website and only made me want to revisit these even more. Still some of my favorites til this day. Can’t wait to see what’s next for these two.
Looking back at this day still gives us all the feelings.
Easy energy, familiar faces, and so much love in one place. Nothing forced, nothing overdone, just one really good day surrounded by the most important people.
If we had to think back on a wedding video that was one of our favorites, this would definitely be one of them.
If you have a minute, please watch it with us ❤️

Kathy & Vince chose to tie the knot at City Hall, a place that’s always been near and dear to us, so getting to be a part of it meant a lot.
Vince prefaced at the beginning of our shoot that he wasn’t really comfortable in front of the camera, and we completely understood. Truth is, most couples aren’t used to being in front of a camera, and that’s where we come in. Our job is to guide, bring the energy, and create a space where you can just be yourselves without overthinking it.
Once we got into it, everything clicked. They loosened up so naturally that you’d never think Vince was nervous at all. Their families were smiling, and the whole day just felt right.
A little reminder that you don’t need to be “good” in front of a camera. It’s about feeling present, being yourselves, and sharing that with the people who matter most.

Loren and Edwin’s wedding felt like more than a celebration. It felt like a reunion for everyone involved, including us. Seeing familiar faces throughout the day, reconnecting with friends we do not often get to see, and sharing space with people who have walked alongside them over the years added another layer of meaning to the day.
It was one of those weddings where the energy felt familiar and comfortable, where conversations picked up right where they left off, and where the love in the room extended far beyond just the couple. Moments like this are a reminder that weddings are not only about two people coming together, but about communities reconnecting, memories resurfacing, and relationships being celebrated all at once.
Richard and Eileen’s wedding was an especially meaningful one for us. I (David) have known Richard since middle school, which still feels a little surreal to say out loud. Being there to document such an important chapter of his life made the day feel even more personal.
When they first reached out, they shared that they had always known they wanted to work with us, even back when we were just getting our business off the ground. Hearing that is one of the greatest honors we can receive, and it is a reminder of why we care so deeply about the work we do.
From our very first call, Richard and Eileen were clear about what mattered most to them. They wanted to be present, enjoy their people, and celebrate their relationship without pressure or performance. That intention carried through the entire day and shaped everything that unfolded. It was the kind of wedding that reminds us why documenting real connection will always be at the heart of our work.

One of our favorite City Hall sessions with Skyler and Christina. I (David) have known Skyler for quite some time outside of wedding work and he has always been someone I genuinely admire both as a creative and friend. When he reached out to me, I was more than happy to capture this chapter of his life. These two fit together so effortlessly, and their warmth, humor, and genuine love made the day incredibly special alongside their loved ones.

Throwback to one of our favorite engagement shoots with J & T.
From our very first call, everything just felt easy, and this session carried that same energy. We spent the time breaking the ice, laughing, and getting comfortable together so nothing ever felt forced. This is exactly why we love engagement sessions. They help everything feel familiar long before the wedding day, which is why theirs felt so natural.
Aparna and Jason’s wedding is one we will never forget. This was one of the longest weddings we have ever captured, and without a doubt one of the ones we poured the most of ourselves into.
From the very beginning, they told us their biggest hope was to stay present and not feel focused on the cameras. And they did exactly that. They showed up fully for each other, their families, and their friends, and that presence is exactly what lives in these moments we are sharing. If you can, take the time to experience each video in full.
This was our first Hindu Jewish wedding, and witnessing the blending of two cultures filled with meaning, color, and emotion left a lasting imprint on all of us. Their families welcomed us with so much warmth that it never felt like we were just there to document an event.
Weddings like this go far beyond photos and films. They are about connection, belonging, and the feeling of being part of something bigger than yourself.
We are endlessly grateful to have witnessed and captured a story this meaningful. Thank you, Aparna and Jason, for trusting us with these moments.
