Who is Three Dog Weddings?

This merry band of photographers has been published in almost every major newspaper or magazine in America, and elsewhere around the world.

They are all based on the west coast of the United States, but routinely travel across the country for weddings and other editorial work.

We love dogs and have all worked in some capacity for animal welfare. 3 Dog Weddings is our way of saying “till death do us part”. Man’s best friend wouldn’t have it any other way.
