The butterflies. The laughter. The quiet, sacred moments in between the chaos.
That’s the magic we’re chasing through our lenses — together.

We’re TJ & Cece — husband and wife, dog parents, western dreamers, and the duo behind Honey Opal. Rooted in Idaho and inspired by the wide-open landscapes around us, what started with a borrowed camera and a favor for a friend turned into a full-blown passion for telling love stories through photo and film.

Today, we’re a real-life couple capturing real-life moments — the bold, raw, messy, magical kind. Whether you’re eloping in the Idaho desert, saying "I do" on your family ranch, or dancing under twinkle lights downtown, we’re here to preserve every single feeling.

We believe in storytelling that brings it all back. The emotion. The connection. The beginning of forever.

Love doesn’t come with a map, but the journey is what makes it beautiful — and we’re here to help you remember every step of it.

Meet

Cece + TJ

Dog mom. Crazy horse girl. Coke Zero enthusiast. And your go-to gal for turning western love stories into forever keepsakes — alongside my endlessly supportive husband and favorite adventure partner, TJ.

Rooted in Idaho and raised on country roads and golden light, we’ve built Honey Opal as a place where authentic storytelling meets intentional artistry.

I didn’t always know I’d end up here — with a camera in my hand and a heart full of passion for documenting love stories. I actually started college thinking I’d become a teacher, but dropped out my second semester feeling totally lost.

Then one day, my (then boyfriend, now husband) TJ asked me to take some photos of his truck — and I haven’t put the camera down since.

What started as a curious favor turned into a calling. I officially launched Honey Opal in 2020, and over the last 5 years, it’s grown into something so much more. With TJ joining the team shortly after we got married, we became the full photo + film duo we are today — capturing moments that feel like home: the butterflies, the belly laughs, and the beautifully imperfect in-betweens.

Ironically, I swore I’d never shoot weddings. Too chaotic, too emotional — not my vibe. But the first time I photographed a ceremony, I felt this fire in my chest. I just knew I’d found my place.

Now, whether we’re chasing light in the Boise foothills or filming first looks on an open ranch, we feel so lucky to create for couples across Idaho and beyond. These aren’t just pretty photos or highlight reels — they’re heirlooms. And we can’t wait to create yours.

We believe every love story deserves to be remembered the way it felt.
