Our Approach

RAW, candid, elegant & UNCONVENTIONAL

We capture your special day with creative yet candid photos / videos that resonate with honest moments and feelings.  We always aim to represent our clients beautifully and truthfully to who they are through  a spontaneous, minimalist and low impact approach that only directs if it is really necessary.


Our work is influenced by our love of the classics, minimalism, arts and nature that is driven entirely by our passion to capture raw and heartfelt moments. We prefer to just let the day unfold, observing and capturing real and special moments than directing them. But the artist inside us is also drawn to symmetry, lights and shadows which is something that we also incorporate to our photos and videos.


We understand that each wedding is different, that is why it's always a collaboration between us and our clients. The most rewarding part of what we do is to capture the essence of our clients in a way that is genuine and candid. We always challenge ourselves to produce timeless photos and videos that our clients will cherish for years to come.

Client Love

Ap was just amazing! he was super friendly and put us all at ease. We love the more candid style of the photos, with less pressure tpo stand and look a certain way, it worked much better for us as we're awkward af, we are utterly obsessed with the photos that we have received so far, and are so excited to get the rest in the next week or so. He also did our pre wedding shoot at Piha! :)
