We turn the photographs, films and memories of your relationship into one visual story: how you met, the wedding, the trips, the first home, anniversaries and the family chapters that follow. You choose where it begins, what stays private and who gets to see the rest.

A photographer’s gallery is a large set of finished images. It rarely tells you who is in the room, why a speech mattered, what happened between the formal photographs or how the two of you reached that day. We select the photographs worth returning to and arrange them with the names, dates, films and memories that give them context.
one place you can open, follow and keep adding to.
It is a website made for one couple: part story, part timeline and part family archive. We build the first version from your photographs, films and answers. After that, you can keep adding new chapters yourself.
You choose the starting point. It can open with the day you met, begin at the wedding or be given years later for an anniversary. Chapters can include the proposal, trips, the wedding day, holidays, a first home, births, baptisms, Christmases and birthdays.
You also decide how it is presented. Some chapters can be public, some can require a password and some can remain between the two of you. The story can keep growing for as long as you want it to.
Couples order it for themselves; parents and friends also give it as a wedding, anniversary or golden-wedding gift.
The first build usually covers three parts of the timeline. The dates and events inside them are yours.
How it began — long before the dress and the deposits.
The ceremony, the people and everything around it.
Everything that came next — and keeps coming.
After the first version is delivered, you can add the honeymoon, a move, a child, a baptism, a holiday or an anniversary. The wedding remains in the same timeline as the life that grew from it.
Where it all begins.
The first trip as two.
The day everything changed.
All in one place.
Whatever it turns out to be — it goes here too.
add it all yourself → photos, notes and new memories, anytime, at no extra cost.
Keep a recording from the ceremony alongside the photographs from that moment.
The walk, the speech, the first dance — moving, with sound.
A guestbook the whole room can sign — long after the room empties.
From we met to we're here — and every milestone after.
Slow, full-bleed, unhurried — photos given the room they deserve.
Your first-dance song, playing softly while the story unfolds.
Some chapters for everyone; some for the two of you, locked away.
Send it to the world, or hand quiet keys to the few who matter.
“Our photographer delivered 2,400 photographs. The story gave us a way to follow the day without opening folders and trying to remember where everything was.”Amara & Josh
“We made ours for our first anniversary. My parents can see the wedding and honeymoon chapters; the pages about our daughter stay private.”Hana & Theo
“It was a wedding present for my daughter. They chose the photographs and privacy settings, and I supplied the family pictures from before they met.”Marianne
We had the photographer’s gallery, phone videos and a separate folder from our guests. This was the first time they felt like one record of the day. We have added our first flat and the dog since the wedding.
I gave it to my daughter and her husband as a wedding present. They decided what the family could see and what would stay private. Her grandparents use it more than anyone, which is exactly what I hoped for.
We married four years before we made the site. Going back through the photographs with someone asking who was there and what happened between them gave us a record we should have made at the time.
Élise & Mateo shows a complete family story with wedding and later chapters. The second example uses a different design direction and focuses on the wedding itself.
The example includes how they met, the wedding in Sintra, notes from the people who came, the honeymoon and their first family chapters. It also shows how public and private sections can sit inside the same story.
All three are one-time builds with clear prices. The difference is the amount of custom design, the span of the first story and what is included after launch.
A designed story layout set to your palette, covering the proposal, engagement and wedding day.
A bespoke design covering how you met through the first anniversary, with room for more photographs, films and private chapters.
The most custom edition, with original visual work, a downloadable copy and the first three years of hosting and care.
One payment for the build. Year-one hosting is included with every edition; later hosting is optional from $99/year, or you can take the downloadable edition. Read the pricing questions →
You own the photographs and words. You also decide whether the whole story is public, password-protected or divided into public and private chapters.
The wedding opens the story. Your family decides how long it continues.
You can export a complete copy and keep it independently of our hosting.
It's your story. The content is yours, fully, from the first day.
Public, or private behind a password — even different keys for different people, through their own gentle log-in.
Export the whole thing as files you can keep, host yourself, or open offline.
No story should disappear because a company did. Yours never will.
Once your build slot begins and the photographs and questionnaire are ready, the usual delivery time is around two weeks. You review a private first version before it goes live.
Begin your storyChoose an edition and tell us whether the wedding has already happened, what material you have and which later chapters matter to you.
10 minutesWe confirm the scope, payment and the date work begins. That booked date is the start of the delivery window.
your agreed start dateUse the private upload space for photographs and films, then complete the questionnaire about people, dates and the details behind the images.
before the slot beginsWe arrange the material, build the chapters and send you a private preview. One round of changes is included.
usually about two weeksShare the chapters you want and keep the others private. Add the next family event whenever you are ready.
after your approvalIf you are not ready to apply, send a note instead. It lands in the same place as the story applications, so we can keep every conversation together.
Useful things to ask about: gifting, privacy, old wedding photos, timelines, pricing, or whether your story is the kind we can help keep.
You can also write directly to hello@thelonglove.co.
A photographer's gallery gives you the material. We make the next part: the order, the context and the place where the day can be read as a complete story.
The website then stays with your family. You can add a birth, baptism, first Christmas, birthday or another event nobody else would think to document. The wedding remains the beginning instead of becoming a separate folder from the rest of your life.
If you want to ask whether your photographs would work, use the question form. You do not need to choose an edition first.
