I had owned Coral Dove Photography for 7 years when I felt my business needed a shake up, along with an elevated new look. Around that time it felt too isolating to do it alone so I decided to add on videography services and changed the name to Coral Dove Studio. I also wanted to add on branding photography to the roster instead of just couples and weddings. I felt I could bring the editorial look that I bring to weddings to the branding space.

Film has been a intergral part of my services from the beginning and I wanted a brand that matched that nostaligic but high end vibe. Welcoming and warm but elevated.

I knew UZ Studio was the only branding company I wanted to consider for this rebrand. They have a unmistakeable look and I wanted something that was punchy, nostalgic and that felt like it embodied the Coral Dove Studio essence.

It was a tough process because there are so many directions you can go with a brand, especially one you love so dearly and have owned for so long but I truly enjoyed the challenge of reevaluating what I want out of this business, how I want to show up for clients and ultimately what I want out of this life!

Before you create new visulals, and logos. You mush revisit the “who, what, why” of your business. Today, I want to bring you into that space with me, to share who we are, and why we do what we do. And a glimpse into the NEW Coral Dove Studio brand!

Coral Dove Studio is a photography studio for artistic couples, brands, and individuals looking for emotive imagery that tells their authentic story with impact. stepping away from traditional visuals that lack passion and connection, we bring a unique and honest creative point of view to every project we’re a part of.
