meet us
We first met as wedding vendors and soon discovered we had gone to the same school and youth group. What started as nonstop conversations turned into a deep friendship, and eventually, a love story of our own.
Grace is your bubbly, professional hype woman who will do whatever it takes for her brides and grooms—pinning boutonnieres, perfecting veils, and having your back every step of the way! Brandon is your easygoing, detail-focused pro, effortlessly managing photo, video, and anything else the day requires—even stepping in as Grace’s right-hand man.

hey friends! we're
We know wedding planning can be a lot, but we’re here to help take some of that weight off your shoulders and check a couple things off your to do list! This season can get busy... fast, but you don’t have to do it all alone! We love sharing what we've learned from both personal and professional experience for our couples (we've even got special guides we send your way;). Most of all, we're here to help bring your vision to life!
You’ll hear us say this more than once: your wedding day is about YOU and your boo. We know that might sound obvious, but with all of the unsolicited opinions that tend to show up, it’s easy to forget. So don’t feel bad about planning your day your way—we're here for whatever that may be!
what you

We're each other's number two because each of our number one's is the Lord. The foundation of not only our marriage, but each of our lives!
our faith
From flying overseas to cross country road-tripping while car camping, we love it all! We love the mountains so much that we got married in the North Cascades National Park in Washington state!

Before we were even dating, we've been reading books together. Some of our favorite books have been "Until Unity" by Francis Chan, "Forgive" by Timothy Keller, and "The Explicit Gospel" by Matt Chandler.
a good book
Cocoa and Grace are inseparable. When proposing, the deal was simple—he couldn’t marry Grace without bringing Cocoa into the picture. Cocoa’s the cutest cat around, and if you follow us on Instagram, you’ll see why she’s the real center of attention in the Goodman fam!

Our very first day was a coffee date at one of our favorite coffee shops. We LOVE a good coffee! Our dream is to have a La Marzocco espresso machine in our kitchen. 👀
Brandon: Iced Mocha
Grace: Iced White Mocha w/ Coconut Milk

From The Bachelor to the Kardashians, we just can't get enough. Whatever Bachelor Nation is streaming, we'll be watching. PS: If anyone knows the Kardashians, let them know we’ll do a free family session for them!

- Anything below 75 degrees is chilly (I lived in Florida)
- I'm a huge swiftie & my favorite compliment is that I look like Taylor Swift
- I've been to 46/50 states & 21/63 national parks
- I roam the store with a cart & coffee in the holder, not hand
- Because of me, Grace also loves Lord of the Rings
- I'll always say yes to Mexican food
- Building computers make me feel like a surgeon, I love it
- You'll know I won the lottery if I have a fridge just for Dr Pepper
- I shop with strategy: one hand for a basket & the other for the coffee that keeps me going

shoutout the hommerding's!
are you ready to document your story?
Life flashes before you in the blink of an eye, it's clique to say for a reason. You never know the last photo you'll take with someone. It’s a tender truth, while it can feel heavy, to us it’s a reminder to be fully present, hold your people close, and document the love that makes life meaningful.
That’s why this work means so much to us. Whether it’s during an annual family session or the beautiful chaos of a wedding, getting to capture these moments is more than just our job—it’s an honor. As a couple, we know how good it is to be seen, to have your story told with care, and to feel comfortable & be yourself in front of the camera.
Our heart is to create a space where you can be fully in the moment while we get to help preserve it for you, exactly as it is :)
