Middle Fingers to
Rules & Standards

Your wedding day is not about extravagant spending or elaborate floral displays. It celebrates the commitment to love fearlessly, to be confident in your future however uncertain it may seem.

So Tender is a rebellion against the conventional. Your wedding day is not defined by shot lists, Pinterest boards or someone else’s expectations… and neither is our photography.

We do things
a bit differently
around here

Compassion is our religion, kindness is our language. It goes without saying, but has to be said; we are welcoming to all denominations, orientations, beliefs and life paths. Our hearts are always open to the diversity of minds, amplitude of feelings, and unapologetic vulnerability.

So Tender Is Humanity

Washington DC Wedding Photographer
& Beyond

Our approach is personal, not transactional. Most of our couples are looking for something less traditional and more unique and personal. Loud families, drag queens, unusual ceremonies or simply heartfelt moments – we love it all.

Most of our wedding are in the DMV area; we shoot in NJ, NY and PA a few times a year, and travel to destination weddings as well. We have a very elaborate No BS, Full Transparency Wedding Guide that we put together to give you an honest, open-book insight into So Tender. Reach out and it’s yours!

What is this
documentary style?

Documentary approach isn’t about taking candid photos. We care about your story. We see your moments beyond cheesy shot lists and someone else’s expectations.
