our favorite things:
01
places we've been
Over 15 nations and counting. Valencia Spain with Isla Roatan as a close second. We also love Colorado, New Hampshire, OBX & Wildwood Crest.
02
guilty pleasure
For Maggie’s it’s marathon watching Netflix documentaries, Murder Mysteries, Home Edit or Chip and Johnna Gaines. For Patrick, it’s watching old guys on YouTube teach about grass growing. But he does love lumber too. Not sure which is worse.
03
Family
We both come from really close families. In our free time, that's where you'll find us. Especially alongside our 4 little minions, we love them so!

pastTime
We love adventure, the beach, and taking our kids any where they can just be kids and family. More recently, the beach (Rehobeth, Wildwood, and OBX are their favorites)

Meet
Tony kosack
Tony leads Radiant Films. From filming friends and skateboarding to commercial projects or tutorials, Tony started finding himself obsessing over storytelling. After a couple years of film making just for fun he broadened his horizons by creating videos for local salons, real estate companies, non-profits and even a couple weddings. What has been his passion for years has become his full-time career and he couldn’t be happier! He loves the ability to recreate emotion through video. Through framing, pacing, lighting and more it will feel like you’re watching a cinematic movie of your wedding day.

Meet
Josh harrison
Josh has always had a natural eye for storytelling. From filming at his church to capturing the everyday beauty in life, he’s honed his craft with a heart for people and moments that matter. As a dad of four, he knows how quickly time passes and how important it is to preserve the emotions and memories we want to hold onto forever.
Our history with Josh runs deep—his dad even married us—so entrusting him with a wedding day feels like the most natural thing. What started as a love for filming and creating has grown into a calling: helping couples relive the joy, laughter, and emotion of their day in a way that feels both timeless and cinematic.
Through careful framing, pacing, and lighting, Josh creates films that don’t just replay your wedding day—they make you feel it all over again, like you’re right back in the middle of those once-in-a-lifetime moments.
How long have you been in business?
Living Radiant went "full time" in May of 2014, 6 months after Maggie & Patrick got married. Radiant Films launched in 2019.
how many weddings do you shoot a year?
We shoot about 25-30 weddings a year. With 52 weeks in the year, we spend most of our weekends with amazing couples across the nation. And seriously, we love it so much.
What's your photography style?
We shoot a mix of styled + editorial, partnered with lifestyle + photojournalism. We are story tellers and love to see what unfolds BUT we do love a good timeline!
We are type A creatives.
What's your editing style?
We are a mix of light & airy but love true to life color. We use our tools to enhance the beauty that is already there, and our goal is always that the coloration of the photos look real. We want your gallery to be timeless, so years from now, the photos are classically beautiful and not stamped with whatever filter was trending at the time.
What equipment do you shoot with?
We shoot with the best Canon gear on the market. We shoot with Canon R5 MII as primaries and backups. All of our lenses are RF, and our flashes are Proto A10s. We have invested over $100K into our gear.
what's included in your packages?
You'll want to head over to our Wedding Experience Page where we outline all our collections, options, add-ons and customizations. Its very rare that couples who inquire go in another direction since we have plenty of customizations for our couples!
are engagement sessions important?
We highly recommend them! Getting in front of a camera in front of a real human can feel awkward for some people, so we find it helps couples be more comfortable on their wedding day with poses and prompts we will give them. Sort of like a practice run! We also double date our couples afterwards, and love the chance to put the cameras down and get to know you two as a couple and build our relationship.
what's your turnaround time?
We have a 1-2 month turnaround time. Our personal goal is always to deliver your photos in time for your 1 Month Anniversary, but during peak season or months where we have double header weekends, it could be closer to the 2 month mark.
do you do sneak peeks?
Yes! We love to do sneak peeks so you can get excited about what we have captured and so you have photos to post right away. They are typically 10-20 highlight photos of the dayWe also share them on social media and ideally
tag you and your vendors!
Do you deliver raw files?
No. First of all, our raw files are massive and in a format that most people can't open. We also don't because they are not our finished product, and we like all of the photos posted and shared to be consistent with the brand and quality that we are so proud of.
do you include albums?
Albums can be added on to any package before or after signing the contract, and are also available a la carte. Unless it's a promo we run, most are add-ons. We work with you to design a visually appealing album with the photos you want, and include revision rounds to make sure it's what you want!
our ideal clients
Our clients are seekers of beauty, lovers of travel, with a taste for adventure and sweet stolen kisses.
None of our clients are the same. But deep down, they all want the marriage of their dreams and for their love to be captured and be the best reflection of what they have. They treasure relationship, conversation, and to make a forever together.
And they one hundred percent love a good party.
