Lena and Neil were amazing! I was concerned about lighting for an outdoor wedding and Lena send me examples and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. She made sure our vision was met and was so easy and stress free to work with. Highly recommend booking for any occasion, they are a great team!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Nail and Pepi for family photos. The photos turned out amazing and Nail was very helpful with everything from outfits to locations. This was our first time having professionals photos done and couldn’t imagine having a better experience.

Yanitsa, We adored getting to know your beautiful family. It was a privilege to honor your mother with a surprise shoot while the whole family was in town and celebrate generations of love reunited for a short moment in time. Thank you so much for trusting us to capture this. Please, don't be a stranger! Loved working with all of you.
