WELCOME TO THE OUTLIVE COMMUNITY!

 

We know you have a lot of options when it comes to Phoenix Wedding Photographer and Videographer Teams. More important than who, what, and where, our WHY is what defines us. Outlive’s purpose is to serve our couples and community to the best of our ability by creating an experience that is relational, intentional, and meaningful.

Outlive REDEFINES the conventional wedding video and photo approach by crafting imagery that is relevant, relatable, and refined. Our style is TIMELESS and honest. We keep our work simple leaving out the fluff, distraction, and clutter that can detract from special moments, interactions, and expressions. Creating invaluable and tangible heirlooms is super important because photos and video will Outlive every aspect of your wedding day.

More important than what we deliver, we offer an experience and community where you will feel valued, special, accepted, and appreciated. Outlive values every story and would be honored to tell yours.

Hello. Jessi & Race Here.

We’re the dynamic couple behind Outlive Creative.

We grew up documenting life's raw moments. We made home videos and shot film, so naturally we have an affinity for all things grainy and priceless. When we met in 2014, we fell in love and merged our wedding photography (Jessi) and cinematography (Race) skills together and by the end of 2015 we shaped Outlive Creative.

Outlive is the culmination of a deep passion for art, the outdoors, music, and appreciation for clean and timeless design and aesthetic. We live for golden hour moments at sunrise and sunsets. Outlive’s mission is to be respectful to ourselves, to our clients, to our community, and to the environment.

We have an obsessive focus to detail, light, composition, balance, and minimalism. We utilize gorgeous - available - natural light to the best of our ability. We are passionate about the outdoors and love to incorporate the natural environment into our couples photos and videos to place context to the story. We are very intentional about creating a product that will Outlive the test of time and be relevant 10-20 years from now. As The great Yves Saint Laurent quoted:

MEET JESSI

"I fell in love with photography when I was a kid. I am especially drawn to medium format photography in which I love to implement into my wedding and portrait work. I was raised in the San Francisco East Bay, and currently reside in Phoenix, AZ but travel nationally and internationally to shoot weddings. My passion centers on creating photographs showcasing love, life, experiences and real moments. I enjoy music, hiking, exploring, snowboarding, travel, good food, and spending time with my little family. "

-JESSI

MEET RACE

"I was born in Alaska and grew up in a small and humble town in Oregon called, Scio. I discovered my interest for making videos in sixth grade when I started skateboarding. Before I earned my Video Production degree, I spent three years working and snowboarding on Mount Hood. During my youth and young adult years, I enjoyed life playing professional paintball, drumming in a band, skateboarding, and traveling. As my craft matured, I found myself filming all of these subjects of interest, eventually leading me to find my love for cinematography. Aside from filming, I like to explore mountains, ride powder, travel, shoot photos, and spend time with Jess, Zoey, my Mini Aussie Shasta, and our Husky Indy."
