A HUSBAND & WIFE CREATIVE DUO
PHOENIX WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS & FILMMAKERS
Creating imagery with intention. Capturing moments with meaning.
Time moves so fast, it's easy to miss the small moments that often become the most meaningful.
It is our privilege and honor to preserve those fleeting memories—the quiet glances, the joyful tears, the laughter, and the love.
Your wedding deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt.
As a husband-and-wife photography and filmmaking team, we work seamlessly side by side, documenting your celebration with honesty, intention, and artistry. Through a shared vision and an intuitive connection built over a decade of creating together, we capture not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt.
The result is a cohesive experience and a story told with depth, consistency, and heart—a story rich with emotion, connection, and the beauty found in between.
Our work is for those seeking more than a vendor. It's for couples searching for trusted storytellers—artists who understand the significance of what they're creating and a team that sees the bigger picture while never missing the smallest moments.
Because long after the excitement of the wedding day has faded, your photographs and films become part of your legacy.
Imagery created with heart.
Memories made to Outlive the moment.

The FOUNDER’s PHILOSOPHY
Jessi's love for theology, philosophy, photojournalism, and creative writing shapes both her perspective and her approach to storytelling. The written content for Outlive Creative is original and personally crafted by Jessi.
“I cannot imagine a world without art.
Art has a way of revealing what often goes unnoticed. It invites us to slow down, pay attention, and experience beauty more deeply. It stirs emotion, preserves meaning, and reminds us of what matters most.
I see art everywhere.
In the sunlight dancing across a room. In the golden glow resting softly on a bride's shoulders. In the moment a groom first sees his bride and struggles to find words. In a father's quiet surrender as he places his daughter's hand into another's. In the cute embrace between a mother and son as they share a dance.
These moments may last only seconds, but they carry a lifetime of meaning.
That is why I am drawn to weddings.
Every wedding day is its own story. A collection of fleeting moments woven together into something beautiful, sacred, and deeply human. A living poem written in real time.
A story worth remembering.
Art worth preserving.
A legacy worth sharing.

Wedding photographer meets wedding videographer.
THEY fall in love and VOILA! outlive Creative IS BORN.
We are the heart behind Outlive Creative.
We owe it to this amazing wedding industry for bringing us together in 2014. After we met, we immediately became best friends. We had so many shared interests. Learn more by clicking the MEET US tab.
We love our trade. We have been practicing photo and video since we were kids, before it was cool, trendy, and saturated. Long before there was an audience, likes, and recognition, we shot for the love of it…and still do. This is what defines true and real for us. A deep rooted passion that gets us through long days with a sustainable way to outwork and outlive other wedding companies.
We feel very blessed and honored to capture love stories all over the world, and we’d love to capture yours!

“The hype is real you guys!! Race & Jess were a dream to work with. My experience with them was so overwhelmingly perfect and I felt 100% confident in every suggestion they made. I can’t express the gratitude I feel that these two ended up in our lives and if you are in the process of considering photographers/videographers, look no further...really.”
OUTLIVE CREATIVE’S STYLE
Like Yin and Yang, we believe beauty is often found in balance.
The most compelling photographs and films are not created from extremes, but from the harmony of seemingly opposite elements working together as one.
Our style is:
Modern & Timeless
Refined & Natural
Romantic & Joyful
Classy & Effortless
Chill & Directive
Inclusive & Unobtrusive
Artistic & Honest
This intentional balance is what defines the Outlive Creative experience.
We know when to gently guide and when to step back. When to create and when to observe. When to focus on the grand moments and when to notice the quiet ones unfolding in between.
The result is imagery that feels both elevated and authentic—beautiful today and meaningful for generations to come.
Because trends come and go. True style endures.
"Fashion fades, style is eternal."
— Yves Saint Laurent

TESTIMONIALS
YOU MADE IT THIS FAR. let’s get STARTED!
The hype is real you guys!! Race & Jess were a dream to work with. My husband and I hired them to capture our elopement in Mo'orea, French Polynesia as well as our celebration a few weeks after we returned.
Let me back up to our first initial encounter. The Outlive Creative offices were right next door to our former apartment and we would walk by nearly every day while taking our pup around the block. When we got engaged a few months later I immediately got a hold of them through their website and was contacted within a day about setting up a get-together. We were welcomed into their studio where they made us lovely cocktails and walked through their portfolio. Not only did their work amaze me, but I knew instantly that these two people were meant to be the ones to capture our special day. They worked tirelessly to put together a package that fit our needs and budget and were so communicative about the entire process.
Flash forward to our week of travel - they fly out a few days before us to scout out locations, understand the climate patterns and made sure there was plenty of time to shoot footage outside of our ceremony. My experience with them was so overwhelmingly perfect and I felt 100% confident in every suggestion they made. I can't express the gratitude I feel that these two ended up in our lives and if you are in the process of considering photographers/videographers, look no further...really. We are over the moon for the video and photos we will have to share with loved ones over the course of our life and cannot thank Race & Jess enough for being such a key part of our special day. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We love you guys!
