“Yani shot my wedding and exceeded all my expectations. He took such beautiful pictures and made it look so effortless. I don’t always like having my photo taken but he made it easy for me. I’ve got so many compliments on my pictures and multiple people ask me who my photographer was! He truly is a talented photographer!”
“We couldn’t have picked a better photographer for our wedding! Yani and Josh made our special day even more special! They were very approachable right from the get go and made everything smooth and easy. We didn’t have to stress about anything. The engagement photoshoot was so much fun and the photos all turned out so beautiful, we were literally in tears. The wedding photos and videos were nothing short of amazing! They made all of us in the bridal party very comfortable in front of the camera. They granted ALL of our photo inspo requests and even added more! Thank you Yani and Josh for making being part of our wedding and making sure that all of the special moments are captured on camera and will never be forgotten ♥️ ”
“They are professionals, they guide you on how to pose, the layout, timeline and everything else. They were always ready to answer our questions and they made us comfortable during the photoshoots.The photos from our engagement to wedding day were all beautiful and the turnaround time was quite fast too! We received our wedding photos a month after!! Even the wedding video, it was created beautifully catered to how the wedding was like! They took lots of photos that we had a hard time choosing which ones would be our favourite because they all looked great! Thank you guys for capturing our special day! 💕”

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
I feel so lucky to do what I love every day. Photography has always brought me joy, from taking casual photos of friends and family to turning it into a career where I get to capture people’s most meaningful moments. What I love most is seeing couples genuinely happy when they look back at their photos, because it reminds me why I do this in the first place.
I work with a talented team of photographers and videographers, both male and female, whom I have carefully handpicked and truly value. They capture beautiful moments alongside me or when I am not there, while I always take the lead and handle the final edits to ensure every image meets my high standard of quality before it is delivered to clients.
