Fine Divorce Photography

Every ending deserves
beautiful light.

The Parting Shot is a photography studio that shoots divorces. We bring the full wedding treatment to the other end of the arc: editorial coverage of the signing day, courthouse portraiture, first looks at the paperwork, and commemorative albums with foil-stamped covers. Booked by the newly single and the nearly so.

The Heirloom

The Commemorative Album

Every package concludes with an album: museum-grade paper, hand-bound in black leather, your names and dates foil-stamped in gold. One copy each, printed simultaneously, so neither of you can claim the original.

Titles are set in-house. Recent volumes include "The Uncoupling of Margaret & Paul: A Study in Golden Hour."
