Tell us about your business!

We are a collective of four photographers whose work is guided by observation, poetry, and a distinctive visual language developed over more than fifteen years of working together.

We always work in tandem because we don’t understand weddings as events to be covered, but as lived experiences — layered, imperfect, and deeply human.

To give each story the complexity and atmosphere it deserves, we look for laughter, tenderness, silence, and emotional resonance in our images. While one of us stays close to the unfolding reality of the day, the other searches for what often goes unnoticed — subtle gestures, quiet connections, and fleeting moments perceived through a more poetic gaze. This dual approach allows us to work with sensitivity, respect, and emotional awareness, creating photographs that feel intimate, honest, and deeply felt.

What would you like couples to know about you?

Our work can only exist through trust and shared sensitivity with our couples. We work slowly and attentively, with a genuine desire to understand who they are and what moves them. We become deeply involved with each story, listening closely to the emotional rhythm of the day while remaining discreet and respectful of every moment.

We don’t chase spectacle or perfection. We are drawn to truth, connection, and the small, intimate gestures that reveal the essence of a relationship — the fragile beauty that emerges when people feel safe enough to be themselves in our presence. For us, our couples are never just clients; they often become friends, active participants, and allies, walking alongside us in the creation and evolution of our work. We grow through their input, which is why being in good company matters so deeply to us.

Where are you based?

We are based between Madrid, Spain, where three of us live, and Sicily, Italy, home to one member of our team. This Italian–Spanish connection is deeply woven into our work, shaping our visual language and emotional sensibility.

Do you travel for weddings?

Absolutely. We photograph weddings around the world — from Hong Kong to Mexico, across Europe, the United States, and Australia — while remaining deeply rooted in Spain and Italy, the two places we call home. Travel is an essential part of our practice; moving through different landscapes, cultures, and architectures continually nourishes our way of seeing and keeps our work alive. The coming year will take us to new destinations we’re genuinely excited to explore.

How would you describe your style?

We want our photography to age like good wine — not tied to trends, but growing richer with time. Our work evolves through lived experience and through the people we photograph, allowing our visual language to expand without losing its core, gaining complexity instead of noise.

Our style sits between curated documentary photography and an artistic, intuitive approach. It’s poetic, emotionally driven, and rooted in what’s real. We’re drawn to what happens naturally — light slipping into a room, a pause between gestures, a look that lingers just a moment longer than expected — translating these fragments into images that feel honest, timeless, and deeply felt.

What is your most memorable career moment?

Our most memorable moment isn’t tied to a single wedding, international recognition, or accolades, but to a realization. At a certain point, we understood that our individual visions had fully evolved into a shared one, shaped by a deep commitment to our collective identity. That shift marked a new era for us — one where trust became instinctive and we could rely on each other completely, working side by side without the need for words.

Over the years, this level of collaboration has turned us into family. Our professional lives are deeply intertwined, and sharing this kind of creative bond is something rare and profoundly meaningful to us. We’ve worked all over the world and lived intense, unforgettable experiences — including collaborations in high-profile environments — but nothing compares to the connection we’ve built together. This remains the most valuable part of our journey.

What inspires you?

When it comes to inspiration, we try to stay away from social media. Instead, we are drawn to European cinema, painting, literature, and everyday life. Most of us studied art, and alongside contemporary documentary photography, these disciplines continue to shape the way we think about images.

Our gaze, however, truly matured when we became parents. It was then that we understood the importance of being deeply true to ourselves — that looking inward matters more than mirroring others. This shift has profoundly influenced the way we approach our couples today. We are inspired by people: by their relationships, their gestures and family dynamics, and by the quiet intensity of real connection.

How would you describe your working style?

We approach each couple individually, responding to who they are and to what they hope for their day, while staying honest to everything that naturally unfolds. During the getting-ready moments, we work separately, each photographer attuning themselves to the energy, intimacy, and rhythm of the person they are with. Our priority is to help people feel comfortable and fully themselves, gently guiding when needed — often towards good light — without ever interrupting the experience or taking them out of the moment.

Once we come together for the rest of the day, our approach becomes fully collaborative. One of us stays close to the emotional flow of events, documenting what unfolds, while the other searches for quieter, more poetic moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. This balance allows us to move seamlessly between documentary honesty and an editorial sensibility, creating work that feels both intuitive and thoughtfully composed. Working as a deeply connected team, rather than as a primary photographer with a secondary role, gives our work a level of cohesion and sensitivity that is central to our practice.

Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?

We work with both digital and film photography, choosing the medium that best serves each wedding and each couple. Being fluent in both allows us to adapt intuitively to different light, rhythms, and emotional contexts, always prioritizing the story and the experience over the tool itself.

When circumstances allow, we love working as a team of three, giving one of us the space to focus entirely on film. This approach adds another layer of depth and intention to the visual narrative.

Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?

Yes. Our brand has grown through flexibility. We work closely with each couple to create a proposal that responds to their plans, priorities, and way of celebrating, ensuring the coverage feels considered, personal, and true to their needs.

What is a favorite product or service that you offer and why?

When the budget allows, we love being able to spend most of the day working together as a team. This gives us the freedom to take creative risks and work with greater depth, seamlessly combining digital and film photography. The result is a more layered and intentional body of work — one that feels truly unique and allows us to create our most expressive imagery.

Where would you love to travel to for work?

We’ve been fortunate enough to work in Japan, and to this day it remains one of our most meaningful experiences. Looking ahead, India, Africa, and New Zealand continue to sit high on our bucket list — places we’re eager to explore for their landscapes, cultures, and the stories they hold.

Who is your dream client?

Kind, open-hearted people who value connection and trust the process. We believe the best images happen when everyone feels comfortable, respected, and free to be themselves.

Photography, for us, is a collaborative and deeply human experience. When couples meet us with honesty and ease, there’s no pressure to perform — just space to be present. That’s when the work becomes effortless, intimate, and timeless.

What is your advice to couples getting married?

Stay present and protect the experience of the day. This day belongs to you, and everything else is secondary. It’s easy to get caught up in pleasing everyone around you, and you might be surprised at how quickly that can pull you away from what truly matters.

Our advice is simple: be present. Take pauses when you need to, breathe, hold hands, and allow yourselves to disappear for a moment or two if that feels right. Life only happens once, and this day is about you. Make sure your photographers are there to support you quietly and to create images that are honest and true to who you are — so you can fully enjoy the day and remember it for how it felt, not just how it looked.
