Preserving stories with intention, grace, and wonder 

THE HELTONS

A Little Long Distance was born when we fell in love with 8,000 miles between us.

It was an instant soul connection through writing, and we had a clear vision of building a life together that would include making art, telling good stories, road tripping the country, and maybe someday raising a family in a little white farmhouse with a garden. We ran down the aisle as soon as Jessica arrived home, eager to start building that dream. 

One Decade Later...

We added the farmhouse, the garden, and four children along the way, too. It has been a true privilege being invited into our clients’ celebrations, working (and playing!) hard to tell stories about love – all magnificently one-of-a-kind, and yet all ringing with the same eternal truths of the human heart.

We’ve roamed around the country witnessing hundreds of other couples’ holy beginnings behind our cameras.
