we're the
Von Telthorsts

Husband and wife, high school sweethearts, and dynamic wedding photo + video team based in the Midwest. Inspired by the look and feel of vintage film and the colors and textures of nature, we marry bold, beautiful portraits with cinematic video to capture the emotion and natural aesthetic of your special day. After five years of shooting together, our love and understanding of the wedding industry has only grown. We know you want it all - the beautiful portraits, the sentimental moments, and the epic party shots. With nearly 200 weddings under our belt, we make sure that all of these moments and more are effortlessly captured and perfectly preserved.

Laura

As the lead photographer, I strive to make each photo a unique and beautiful work of art. My love of photography was born out of a deep desire to document my life. Whether it be a timeless photograph, matching wedding tattoo with my husband, or photo book of our adventures, I have a love for transforming passing moments into tangible keepsakes. Other loves include wandering farmers markets, adding to my vinyl collection, and tending to my many plants. On a lazy day you can find me cuddled with my chihuahua baby Rue, watching Moonrise Kingdom, my favorite Wes Anderson film.

Richard

As the lead videographer, I take pride in creating cinematic films that reflect each couple’s unique personality. With a passion for the creative, I’ve experimented with different art forms throughout my life, from drawing to sculpting to painting, always finding art to be a calming and expressive pastime. After Laura’s business took off, I decided to start experimenting with videography and joined her in the wedding industry in 2015. What started as a way for me to spend more time with my wife quickly turned into a passion all its own. Other passions of mine include philosophy, motorcycles, and rewatching my favorite shows, Stranger Things and Dexter.
