This combination allows us to tell your story naturally while creating refined images that highlight the beauty of your celebration.
The Process
From Consultation to Timeless Art
Each couple builds up stock of stories, complicities, challenges, accomplishments. We focus on portraying that life connection in a beautiful aesthetic way.
Our process start by talking to get to know you and build something unique for you.
These are our pillars:
-

Unique Identity
Each image is created thinking in the narrative of your story. They go beyond isolated moments to serve as a testament to your individuality and journey.
Understanding Your Story: Every couple has a unique story, and we begin by getting to know you. We schedule a consultation call to discuss your relationship, preferences, and vision. This includes exploring the moments that matter most—whether it’s the quiet intimacy of an engagement session or the pivotal events of your wedding day. We also ensure our photography style aligns with your expectations, creating a shared understanding before we begin.
Planning and Preparation: Together, we develop a detailed photography timeline tailored to your event. For engagement sessions, we guide you in selecting locations that resonate with your story and provide advice on wardrobe choices to enhance the aesthetic. For weddings, we coordinate with your planner or vendors to integrate seamlessly into the flow of your day, from the early preparations to the final farewell.
Capturing the Day: On the day of your wedding, we follow the timeline and preparation plan closely, capturing every important detail. This includes bride and groom preparations, pre-wedding moments, venue details, and significant interactions with family and friends. For engagement sessions, we balance artistic compositions with candid, heartfelt moments, reflecting the essence of your relationship. Our approach ensures that each session is meaningful and aligned with your unique story.
Editing and Proofing: Within two weeks of your event or session, we provide a set of initial proofs for you to review. These images are carefully selected to showcase the highlights of your day. We then curate and edit the full gallery, enhancing lighting, color, and overall quality while maintaining a natural and timeless look.
Delivering Your Photographs: Finalized images are delivered within six to eight weeks through a private online gallery, allowing you to download, share, and preserve your memories.
