2024-2025 Wedding Guide
Congratulations!
Congratulations on your engagement and the beautiful journey you are about to embark upon together! Your wedding day is a unique celebration of your love, destined to be filled with happiness and heartfelt moments. From the anticipatory excitement of the "getting ready" process, the touching instances with your loved ones, to the solemnity of the ceremony and the exuberance of the reception, every second is precious. Planning such an event can be a daunting task, filled with countless decisions and detailed planning. Worry not, as we are here to alleviate that pressure. Our commitment is to ensure that each tender, joyous, and significant moment of your day is captured and preserved, allowing you to relive the magic of your union for years to come.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Photography isn’t just about pressing the shutter button; it is so much more than that. It is a way to preserve beautiful and special moments, allowing us to look back on them and re-live those emotions. Whether it be a wedding day, a maternity, or just an ordinary moment in life – a good photograph should capture not only the visuals but also the emotion of that moment. As they say, a picture paints a thousand words!
I believe that photography should be an enjoyable experience and one that you can look back on with fond memories and nostalgia. Every photo I take is carefully composed and frames the subject in the best possible light to create a timeless
Engagement Session
Embrace the joy of your engagement with a photo session that's all about fun, love, and the unique story you two share. Let's turn this into a day of laughter and genuine moments with your special someone. Our engagement shoot is a chance to just be yourselves – no stress, no rigid poses. Think of it as a date, but with a camera tagging along! We'll spend 1.5 to 3 hours together,. Feel free to switch up your outfits – anything from suites to your favorite casual wear – and let’s capture you in your natural element. This is all about celebrating your love in its truest, most relaxed form.
Get ready to ditch the stress of posing! Our photo session is all about capturing your natural chemistry and the spontaneous moments that make your relationship special. Forget about stiff poses or wondering what to do with your hands – I’ll guide you through relaxed, candid poses that truly reflect who you are as a couple.
We’ll laugh, maybe even be a little silly, and capture those genuine smiles and glances. Think of this as just hanging out with your love, while I happen to snap some beautiful memories. By the end of our session, you’ll be pros at being yourselves in front of the camera, with a collection of photos that are as fun and unique as your love story."
What to Wear and What to Bring
When planning your attire for the photoshoot, envision an evening of elegance and sophistication. For the ladies, consider a beautiful, elegant dress that makes you feel both glamorous and graceful. Picture yourself in a flowing gown or a chic cocktail dress that reflects your personal style – whether it's a classic little black dress or something with a pop of color and texture. Think about the dresses that turn heads and make you feel most confident.
For the gentlemen, a well-tailored suit is the perfect choice. It's not just about wearing a suit, but about the fit and feel that makes you look your best. A sharp, classic suit or a stylish blazer paired with well-fitted trousers can create a look of refined sophistication. Consider the timeless appeal of a black, navy, or charcoal suit, and feel free to add a personal touch with your choice of tie or pocket square.
Together, an elegant dress and a dapper suit create a stunning visual harmony that adds a touch of class and timeless charm to your photos. This is your chance to dress up and capture moments in outfits that epitomize style and elegance.
IT'S A LOVE STORY
Makki and Yonathin had the most extraordinary Ethiopian wedding in all of Santorini, Greece. It was an amazing opportunity to witness such a unique culture first hand. Makki, as a makeup artist herself, made sure that every detail of the event was taken care of with precision and care. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, they kept in constant contact to make sure everything was perfect. Despite the odds against them, the couple pulled off a magnificent event that will never be forgotten. The pictures we captured on their special day are evidence of the joy and love between Makki and Yonathin--a joy that can be felt even through the images! It was such an honor to be able to share in their special day and capture these moments for them.
