Memento Studio isn’t just a brand — it’s a creative collaboration built on shared passion. Founded five years ago by Abdelrazzak Elali and Georges Saade, the studio was born from filmmaking roots, a love for storytelling, and a deep admiration for honest human emotion. Their background in cinema shapes everything: the pacing, the composition, the atmosphere, the way moments unfold naturally without force.
“Every frame we create is crafted to feel real, emotional, and unforgettable,” they share — a promise visible in every wedding they document across Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, the Arab region, and Europe.
Both Abdelrazzak and Georges began their careers in 2011. What started as an exploration of visual storytelling soon became a lifelong craft. Their growth from filmmakers to sought-after wedding photographers was a natural evolution — one guided by intuition, curiosity, and a desire to preserve genuine love stories with cinematic depth.
Their approach is defined by an aesthetic that feels modern yet timeless.
Our style is emotional and cinematic. We focus on natural moments, soft light, and genuine emotions.
The result: imagery that feels effortless yet editorial, refined yet deeply human.
What truly fuels their work isn't equipment or technique — it's people.
“What we enjoy most about being wedding photographers is the connection we build with our couples,” they say.
Every couple brings a different history, a different rhythm, a different emotional language — and Memento Studio takes the time to learn it.
This human connection becomes the foundation of their storytelling. The team enters each wedding day not as observers, but as collaborators who understand the couple’s essence and what matters most to them.
Every project with Memento Studio begins with conversation. Listening first, photographing second. They dive into the couple’s story, their inspirations, their cultural background, and their emotional priorities.
“We always ask them to share visual references and inspirations, so we can better understand their taste and desired mood,” they explain.
This dialogue ensures the final collection feels truly personal — a story shaped from the inside out.
With over a decade of experience, Memento Studio has refined a smooth, efficient, and professional process. They typically cover 10 hours on a wedding day, giving them enough space to capture the full narrative without rushing the experience.
Their comfortable capacity is 45–50 weddings per year, a balance that allows them to give each story the attention it deserves while keeping their creativity nourished.
Custom packages? Absolutely.
“Yes, we can work with couples to create a package that meets their specific needs.”
Flexibility is part of their philosophy — every love story is unique, so every offering should be too.
Their biggest advice for couples is beautifully simple:
Our biggest advice is to relax and be yourselves.
Authenticity always photographs best. When couples let go and genuinely enjoy the moment, the magic reveals itself effortlessly — the laughter, the tears, the subtle glances that become lifelong memories.
When asked what advice they’d give to their past selves, their answer reflects maturity acquired through years of art, travel, and human stories:
Trust the process. Stay passionate. Stay open. Every wedding will teach you something new.
Memento Studio has traveled across continents, but a few destinations hold a special place in their hearts:
Lebanon, Greece, and Italy.
Places where architecture, culture, and light create a perfect visual symphony for storytelling.
Destination weddings allow them to combine their cinematic roots with landscapes that naturally heighten emotion — cliffs, coastlines, ancient streets, and sun-drenched villas all become part of the narrative.
In just five years, Memento Studio has shaped a recognizable signature: imagery that feels cinematic yet deeply personal. Their blend of filmmaking vision and emotional sensitivity continues to attract couples across continents—couples who want more than photos; they want memories shaped with artistry, intention, and heart.
Through every wedding, Abdelrazzak and Georges honor what brought them into this craft in the first place: the desire to preserve love in its purest form.
