“We are Aglen & Joana, a husband-and-wife photography duo who inherited the love for photography from our fathers. Growing up, we were surrounded by the art of photography in our families, which shaped our passion from an early age. We started as individual journeys back in 2005–2006 and became one shared vision in 2015, when we created our brand together. For us, photography is more than just images, it’s about telling real stories, capturing emotions, and creating memories that last forever.”

“We began assisting our fathers in photography back in 2006, which means we’ve been part of this industry for nearly 20 years now.”

What began as family heritage evolved into a shared craft. Years assisting, learning light by instinct, and watching honest moments unfold led to a partnership that fused two perspectives into one steady vision—romance told with clarity, movement, and heart.

Signature Aesthetic: Natural First, Cinematic Always

Our style is natural mostly. We’re also inspired by cinematic and boho aesthetics, which bring a sense of depth, artistry, and authenticity to our work.

Expect clean, true color and gentle direction that keeps images unforced. Their cinematic lean shows up in thoughtful framing, scene-setting, and an eye for atmosphere—while boho notes add texture and soul. The result is modern yet timeless, crafted yet real.

Tools & Process: Precision in Service of Emotion

“For post-processing, we primarily use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. We typically focus on colors and skin retouching to ensure a clean and natural look on our images and always aiming to enhance the image without over-editing.”

On the wedding day, Canon R5 bodies and a 24–70/70–200 pairing handle everything from wide establishing scenes to intimate portraits. GODOX strobes (AD600 Pro/AD300 Pro) extend daylight gracefully or add sculpted flash when needed. In post, restraint rules: faithful tones, polished skin, details preserved.

Working With Couples: Comfort Breeds Authenticity

“We start by listening carefully to the client’s vision and maintaining open, friendly communication throughout the process. Many of our clients mention how comfortable they feel working with us, thanks to our relaxed and supportive approach.”

We also guide them through posing in a natural way that still allows room for spontaneity, helping us capture authentic and meaningful moments that truly reflect who they are.

Their approach blends gentle coaching with space for real interactions. You’ll feel looked after, never over-posed—so laughter, glances, and family energy stay genuine on camera.

“Yes, absolutely! We’re happy to work closely with each couple to create a custom package that fits their vision, schedule, and budget. Every wedding is unique, so we always aim to offer flexible options that reflect the couple’s specific needs and preferences.”

From intimate elopements to multi-day celebrations, they tailor timelines, coverage, and deliverables to match what matters most to you.

Why They Love the Work: Connection, Travel, Memory

“What we enjoy most about being photographers is the ability to capture meaningful moments and turn them into lasting memories. We love connecting with people, telling their stories through images, and witnessing their reactions when they see the final results.”

Another part we truly value is the friendship and trust we build with our clients throughout the process. It’s incredibly rewarding to receive heartfelt compliments after an event, it reminds us why we do what we do and keeps our passion alive.

Every assignment is a new story, a new place, a new family—documented with care and curiosity.

For New Creatives: The Advice They’d Give Themselves

“If we were just starting out, I would remind myself to be patient and trust the process. Success doesn’t come overnight, consistency, passion, and continuous learning are key.”

“I’d also emphasize the importance of building genuine relationships with clients, staying true to your style, and never being afraid to ask for help or invest in your growth. Most importantly, enjoy the journey, every challenge is a chance to grow both personally and professionally.”
