Destination Wedding Photo and Video Team
Timeless, dreamy photos and films that curate your wedding celebration through emotion & intentionality
Hi! We're
Shayne & Laura
Aka the Cuongs - pronounced Kwong's :)
When we got married almost 5 years ago (wowza - it goes so fast!), it was difficult to find both a photographer and a videographer who had a similar style and approach. So, we decided to create the photo + video experience we wanted.
Being a husband and wife team, we work together not only on wedding days, but every day. We know exactly how to make a wedding day flow in an efficient, but relaxed, manner that allows for an easy, enjoyable experience for everyone.
Every image and video we take is an intentional part of your story; we’re either capturing the classic smiles, the spur-of-the-moment emotions, or the beautiful details. Every part of your day matters, and we curate it all into a beautiful story for you to cherish for the rest of your life.
"Laura and her husband made our wedding day even more amazing than we could have ever imagined. They were probably the BEST vendor choice we made overall! Insanely talented power couple!"
-Stephanie and Daniel

joyful, upbeat
videos
We edit our couples' videos to match the uniqueness of their wedding day. Typically, this means a romantic, dreamy, but upbeat video that encompasses all the raw emotions and joyful moments.
"Laura and Shayne are so fun to work with! They are so sweet and they helped calm any nerves that I had during the day. They made the poses feel and look natural, and I can't even count how many compliments I received on the pictures!!"
-Joslyn & Andrew

Custom Collections
+
After 10 years of weddings, we've found that there's no one-size-fits-all for wedding photo + video collections.
So, rather than give you three options that may not be exactly what you're looking for, we spend the time learning what you want and need through the consultation to create a perfect collection.
Pricing
+
Since every collection is customized to fit your wedding celebration, pricing varies.
Most couples have a combined photo + video budget of at 10,000+ for domestic weddings and 15,000+ for international weddings.
Collection Inclusions
+
We have several key inclusions that you will see in your wedding collection no matter what customizations you are looking for. Click here to see them all.
How to book
+
During our consult, we'll go over your collection options. Then, you just pay the $1,500 retainer, sign the agreement, and you're booked!
Payment
+
I accept credit and debit cards, ACH transfer, and Venmo. I have different payment options, including monthly auto-pay, which is the most popular.
Travel
+
I travel several times a year for weddings! I love returning to destination favorites & discovering new venues. My travel is included in collections, so no additional fees for hotels, flights, etc.
Every wedding collection is custom,
but here are key inclusions that every single #CuongsCo couple receives!
the Cuongs
We document every wedding we book so you know exactly who is documenting your wedding day. Laura will be the lead photographer, and Shayne will be the lead videographer. Based on your timeline, we will bring on additional photographers + videographers at no cost to you.
Drone Photos + Videos
Shayne is a certified drone pilot. As long as we have favorable weather and clearance from the FFA, you will have drone images & videos of your wedding.
Gallery Reveal
6-8 weeks after your wedding, we’ll meet up for a film + gallery reveal! This is where you'll get to view your full gallery + highlight films(s) for the very first time! The reveal is such a joyous way to capstone your wedding experience.
Sneak Peeks
You will receive a sneak peek photo gallery AND a sneak peek video trailer within a week of your wedding.
Detail Styling
Instead of using coverage hours for detail styling, we find time to style your wedding details either the week before your wedding or before coverage starts the day-of. One less thing for you to stress about with your timeline!
Travel
You don't have to pay any extra for our travel or coordinate our flights, hotels, etc. We handle all of that ourselves!
