The Philosophy.
Our photographs don’t follow a “style” - instead, they carry personality.
We're simple people at heart - we want to take photographs that hold meaning.
Photographs that remind you of a fond memory; it could be a familiar space, a distant place, an impromptu adventure or even unexpected disaster.
Photographs that transcend time; that make you wonder what the future may hold,
or carry the ache of nostalgia.
We're not interested in chasing trends or putting on a show.
We prefer to document life as it is, however it decides to take place.
Meet the team.
HANNAH,
FOUNDER & HEAD PHOTOGRAPHER
"I started my photography journey at 13, as it was my CCA in school. I never thought that one day it would actually become my full-time job, but journeying into it just felt like second nature. I’d like to think that I’m someone who doesn’t like to take things too seriously - over the years, I’ve become more mellow and go-with-the-flow. I enjoy starting my day early with a cup of coffee, a light read and doing sudoku. I'm also an avid diver and yoga practitioner."

"I’ve been taking photos since I was 16, and have grown to love capturing couples and families. I’d say I’m a rather goofy & bubbly person. I’m always happy to geek out with my couples over my other interests like sports, sewing and scuba diving (interestingly, my last trip to Komodo Islands ended up in me getting proposed to?!). That story is always on the table if you want to hear it. I look forward to getting to know you!"
If you want to work with us,
you first need to know our style.
1) Think photo excursion, not photoshoot.
The word “photoshoot” often brings to mind stiff poses, forced smiles,
& being someone you are not. It makes us feel nervous and intimidated.
Let’s face it - most of us are not models.
But so what? That doesn’t mean we don’t deserve to be in front of a camera.
Rather, we like to think of our couple sessions as photo excursions.
Give yourself time to warm up, space to let loose, and maybe even discover a new side of yourself, one you’ve been hiding from the camera.
You don’t need to be someone else.
Our job is to photograph you as genuinely as we can, in the time that we have together.
2) Stop posing, start enjoying.
You don’t have to strike a pose or hold a smile throughout.
It’s exhausting and unnatural.
Instead let’s embrace the candidness and chaos that comes about with everyday life.
We love having spontaneity in our sessions - so expect lots of movement & laughter, we’re gonna be clocking those steps for sure!
3) As long as you’ve had a good time,
that’s a win for me.
Forget the camera.
Throw out the pressure to “perform”.
If we only focus on the photo results, we’ll miss the heart of the experience.
Instead let’s be present.
Let’s enjoy the process from start to finish, and simply have fun.
Because joy brings ease, ease brings comfort, and comfort reveals your truest self.
This is the side of you we want to photograph.
The one your partner sees, the one they chose, time and time again.
It’s who they fell in love with.
And it’s what they’ll want to remember when you’re both grey and old.
4) It’s a two-way street.
Our work is collaborative.
There’s only so much we can do — the rest comes from you.
Sure, you can get nice photos by hiring a photographer out of thin air.
But the best photographs — the ones we hold close to our hearts —
they’re crafted with intimacy.
To truly photograph you as you are,
We need to get to know you — as individuals, and as a couple.
Everyone brings something different to the table.
So come as you are.
Show us what makes you, you.
5) These photographs are for you - not social media.
We get it, everyone craves novelty these days.
But trends come and go - memories are here to stay.
There’s nothing wrong with seeking inspiration online, but don’t let that distort your reality of what makes a “good” photograph.
Our priority is to capture images that represent you wholeheartedly.
Photographs that will grow and age with you 10, 20 or even 50 years down the road.
6) Let’s do away with the shot list.
Not gonna lie, this can really cramp our style.
We're always open to suggestions and happy to try out your ideas.
But truthfully, we produce our best work when you simply give us the space to do our own thing. That's how we feel more inspired and connected, in knowing that we're trusted to move freely.
So let’s have fun, experiment, and create something unexpected together!
7) Expect the unexpected.
Sometimes, some things are simply beyond our control.
But instead of letting the little hiccups ruin the day, why not lean in and make
the best of it?
As the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
If the clouds bring rain, let’s dance in it.
If the outfit gets dirty, roll with it.
If tensions arise, we’ll deal with it (you two, not us).
Because years from now, this might just be one of our fondest memories of all time.
