Some photographers chase light. Others chase composition. But every so often, you meet a pair who chase truth—the quiet kind that hides inside the small moments.
For Felipe and Rocío of Schulz Fotografía, that search began long before they ever called themselves wedding photographers. It started the day they realized they both saw the world in stories, not snapshots.

“We are Felipe and Rocío, a married couple and the photographers behind Schulz Fotografía,” they share. “What started as a shared passion for storytelling and art turned into our full-time career.”

Their life together—and the work they’ve built—feels like a conversation that never really pauses. It only deepens. It carries them through vineyards, coastlines, tiny mountain chapels, and family homes across Chile. It has carried them through more than 300 weddings, each one leaving a mark.

They speak about inspiration the way others speak about old friends:
names like Jonas Peterson, José Villa, Fer Juaristi. Visionaries who taught them that emotion will always outlive perfection.
That an honest photograph will always outshine a flawless one.

A Path Lit by People, Not Trends


In the early years, they didn’t worry about categories or niches. They simply felt their way forward.

Our style is documentary and natural, with a cinematic feel. Emotion always comes before perfection.

It shows in the way they move during a wedding day—softly, intuitively, letting the story unfold without forcing it. They don’t choreograph moments. They protect them.

Their equipment is intentional:
Canon mirrorless bodies, drones for sweeping context, lighting tools that stay invisible until they’re needed. But gear is never the hero here; people are.

Editing remains delicate, respectful, and timeless.
“We keep our editing natural and timeless, enhancing light, color, and emotion without over-processing.”

Their images carry that same quiet pulse: warm skin tones, honest gestures, the kind of stillness you only get when people trust the ones holding the camera.

The Heart of Their Work: Connection

There’s a moment, always—the moment when trust settles in, when the couple forgets the lenses pointing their way.
Felipe and Rocío live for that moment.

“What we enjoy most is getting to know each couple’s story and turning it into images that truly reflect who they are.”

And maybe that’s why couples feel so at ease with them. They don’t watch from the sidelines. They lean in, listening. They adapt to personality and pace.

“Communication and trust are key,” they say. “During the day, we adapt to their rhythm, ensuring they can fully enjoy while we capture every moment naturally and beautifully.”

Every gallery they deliver feels like a memory unfolding, not an event being recorded.

Crafting Experiences, Not Packages


One of the signature traits of Schulz Fotografía is their flexibility. They don’t believe weddings fit inside preset boxes.

“Every couple is different, and we love designing packages that reflect their needs,” they explain. Pre-wedding sessions, drone coverage, short videos, additional photographers—these are ingredients, not products. They assemble them the way a tailor shapes a suit: around the person, not the pattern.

They speak often about connection. About trust. About listening. And it’s clear those values shape more than their images—they shape their business.

Looking Back: The Advice They Needed Early On

If they could speak to their younger selves, they’d keep it simple.

Trust your vision, stay true to your style, and focus on connecting with people rather than just taking pictures.

But there’s something else—something many young photographers overlook.

“Don’t be afraid to look up to those who inspire you. Learn from them, but always find your own voice.”

Five years later, that voice is strong and unmistakably theirs.

The Best Preparation: Comfort, Timing, Trust

When asked what couples can do to prepare for a session, their answer is gentle and unpretentious.

“Relax and enjoy the process. The more comfortable you are, the more authentic your photos will be.”

It’s a reminder that photographs are not created by stiff poses—they’re created by presence.
By time.
By trust.

A Love for Places That Tell Stories


Chile has given them variety: deserts, coastlines, valleys, and cities layered with color and history. But the world beyond their borders calls to them.

Yes, we do destination weddings! We love discovering new places and would be thrilled to photograph weddings in other countries in the future.

Wherever they go, their approach will remain the same: quiet, observant, tender.

Because that is what Schulz Fotografía really is.
Not just a duo with cameras.
But two people who understand the gravity of memory, who honor every story they’re invited into.

A Final Note About Their Work

Felipe and Rocío photograph weddings the way poets write: with attention to detail and deep respect for feeling. Their images carry warmth, simplicity, and a cinematic softness that turns fleeting hours into something beautifully enduring.

They don’t rush. They don’t force.
They witness.

And maybe that’s why their work stays with you—long after the celebration, long after the last frame.
