Meet Our Team
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is to love with all our hearts. Sometimes this means hard work and patience, sometimes it means stepping back and allowing things to flow, but it always means our clients can feel the constant personal presence of someone who cares for them as would one of their own.
Our Style
We enjoy gorgeous backlit photos at sunset, pastel colors and soft skin tones. We enjoy guiding and directing, but not posing, or imposing.
We fancy color and contrast, so long as it is not overpowering or distracting.
We absolutely love gentle signs of affection, beautified by natural elements in the frame.
Seeking all of these goals and many others, usually means we move fast and speak little, but it also means we are constantly paying attention, so that as we move, the images keep flowing, while the moments we capture are genuine and organic.
Lighting & Equipement
We prefer the use of natural light over artificial lighting and bulky gear. Not only does this allow us to move and respond quickly, but it also allows our couples and their guests to feel at ease as we easily and swiftly blend in, even in tight spaces. At night and when necessary, we use constant lighting during key moments to ensure consistent color and saturation throughout the different scenarios.
We use prime lenses with shallow depth of field and we shoot mostly on wide open apertures for a sharp, yet dreamy look and feel that adds a cinematic and timeless character to our images.
Every single photo we deliver goes through a proper editing process in order to ensure the love is delivered in full.
The Human Touch
Although there are extensive technical details involving the process of shooting beautiful images, it is the human touch within the person behind the camera that can best guide the process of capturing timeless, valuable memories.
Regardless of the goal or the problem, love in the heart of a human surely makes a difference.
Captured with love is not just a name or a slogan to us, it is the simple understanding that love is the method of our craft and that our human touch is the way to deliver it.
People, Details & Places
After the wedding couple, these are the three concepts that top our charts of priorities. We want to make sure your guests and the people who helped you craft your dream wedding also feel the warmth of our presence and that their presence also becomes the heart of our work.
