We understand that couples desire to capture fleeting moments, preserve memories, and tell their unique love story.

We focus on comprehensive storytelling, from engagement shoots to the post-wedding creative sessions, ensuring every detail contributes to a timeless family heirloom.
The Vision Behind the Shot
This evocative image was captured on a summer’s day using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with an EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. To achieve a pleasing depth of field and keep the focus firmly on our subject’s confident presence, I opted for an aperture of f/5. A shutter speed of 1/80s was ideal for freezing any subtle movements, while ISO 160 kept image noise to a minimum in the relatively bright conditions. The focal length of 65.0mm provided a natural field of view, and no flash was needed, relying instead on the beautiful natural light of the summer day. These technical choices were made to ensure the highest quality image, portraying the subject with clarity and artistic flair.
