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!

“Jess and Race were a dream to work with! They were so relaxed and accommodating—we felt like we were in good hands from start to finish. It was easy to trust them based on their beautiful portfolio, but also because they really listened to what we were hoping to capture during our wedding. Thank you both for your kindness and your amazing work”.

Believe the hype! Jess and Race do amazing work. We were impressed by their portfolio and absolutely blown away by our final products.

We hired Outlive Creative to shoot our wedding photography and video and we are so pleased we went with them. Jess and Race were a pleasure to work with and helped guide us through the daunting process every step of the way. They made the trip from Portland, Oregon to our ceremony in Carmel, California and immediately jumped into action. They were totally in control and very organized. And most importantly, they captured our special moments in the most beautiful and breathtaking ways. Words can’t describe how much we LOVE the photography and video that they produced.

We highly recommend Outlive Creative and think the world of Jess and Race. We plan to use them again in the future and would gladly refer them to our family and friends.

“Best photographers and videographer ever. Jess and Race did our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. They were right on the timeline that we came up with together. They have such unique shots and they both love the outdoors. So if you are looking for something different... book them! Thanks again guys, Kelly and Nader.”

"Jessi and Race,

We are sooooooo amazed by the incredible work you guys did and the heart you put into our video! We LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! We could not thank you enough!!!!! We are so happy that you were a part of our day, and we will now forever have a piece of you and Race to remember our day by! Thank you again, and thank you for being such awesome people. I wish you nothing but the best of luck in your future endeavors, and know that amazing things are in your future! Sending lots of love from Kentucky!"

"Race and Jess were terrific. They were professional and made us feel comfortable in front of the cameras. They traveled to St Lucia to photograph and record our elopement. At first we were nervous commissioning people we had never met before to document one of the most important moments of our lives but after our first encounter with them on the island we knew we had made the right decision. They are pleasant to work with and the passion for their art is clearly visible in their disposition. The samples of their work we've seen thus far are beautiful and has us excited to see more. The fact that we're this happy and they haven't even finished with us is a testament to the quality of their work. We look forward to continuing our review. Thank you guys!”

"First, let me just Thank you! I am truly at a loss as to how I feel right now. Curtis and I have watched the video at least 4 times and each time we both cried. It is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Our love is very real and you captured that, that can't be easy. That day will never be forgotten! Neither will the water we hiked in or the obstacles in our path :). Thank you does not seem appropriate, but I truly am at a loss for words. My prayers are that God will continue to bless all of you and your business. You have a gift, please spread your Love and art around for the world to see."

"We couldn't be happier with the beautiful imagery Race and Jessi created for us. We are so thankful that Google brought us together with them :) Jessi was our first point of contact and so easy to talk to and friendly. We enjoyed our initial conversation with her and knew right away that that we wanted Outlive Creative to film our top secret elopement! The work on their website was clearly gorgeous and we could feel the emotion in the videos and photos they captured. That is exactly what we wanted and they delivered.

Jessi and Race are professional, personable and responsive. It was easy to communicate with them and they were so great about just going with the flow on the day of our wedding! They also did a great job at making us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Jessi was so sweet and even made me my bouquet 15 minutes before the ceremony!

We cannot say enough great things about this amazing duo! They are both so talented and it is apparent that they love what they do! We are so happy with how everything came out and will most likely use them again the future! Mahalo to Jessi and Race!"
