Why wedding photography?
"We think it's because of the people. We love to connect with strangers and get inspired by their stories. That's something that inspires us so much. Wedding photography is also very challenging. It includes so many different genres of photography."
Does working as a team make a difference?
"There are only positives. It feels a lot safer knowing on a wedding day there is someone who has your back, getting the shots too. It's a good feeling and it allows you to be more creative!"
How do you create your trademark style?
"Soft light and backlight is something we love to capture, so we use natural light 99% of the day. We use a wide aperture to create soft and luminous photos, and fast shutter speeds, as you never know what is about to happen next."
Other than the day of the wedding, what else do you have to do?
"We always arrive at the wedding location a day before to check the surroundings and search for places to shoot. The day after the wedding we look through a few thousand images and do the necessary edits."
What advice can you give to someone trying to break into the industry?
"Be brave! If this is what you want to do, heart and soul, then challenge yourself; we never stop challenging ourselves. Also find out what makes you different, and use that to your advantage. It's something we did, and it worked for us."
