In a world of fleeting trends and templated love stories, JuMi Story dares to capture weddings as they truly are—raw, intentional, and impossibly beautiful. Helmed by Jun and Miya, a husband-and-wife team with complementary talents, their work is not just about photography—it’s about translating emotion into editorial art.

Jun, with 17 years of photography experience under his belt, brings a meticulous technical touch, while Miya shapes the visual soul of the brand through thoughtful creative direction. Together, they’ve been building JuMi Story for a decade, crafting a visual legacy for couples who crave something timeless.

“We’re passionate about creating art—especially when it carries meaning and involves cultural elements,” Miya shares. “We adore creating unique concepts and showing the world the art that we have in our minds.”

A Style That Feels Effortless—But Never Is

When it comes to photography, JuMi Story isn’t chasing the next viral aesthetic. Their vision blends editorial elegance with candid authenticity, rooted in a philosophy of intention over trend.

“While everyone loves candid moments,” Jun explains, “the truth is, most of them are guided. We start by positioning our couples in the best lighting, then create natural interactions through direction, all with an editorial eye to ensure the moments feel effortless and genuine.”

This deliberate, fashion-forward approach has become their signature. Think clean lines, authentic colors, and meaningful moments that don’t just document a day—but tell a story that will stand the test of time.

Behind the Lens: Tools of the Trade

For their clients, JuMi Story puts the power of precision in the Canon R6—a tool that delivers on clarity and detail with every click. For personal snapshots? The iPhone. It’s this balance of technical mastery and creative spontaneity that defines their duality.

In post-processing, they keep things sleek and sophisticated.

“We draw our inspiration from magazines—clean, timeless, and intentional. The color needs to be authentic; each color should look like the color it should be,” Miya emphasizes. “The brightness and contrast should stay true and avoid overly stylized edits.”

No filters. No gimmicks. Just thoughtful artistry in its purest form.

Co-Creating the Vision: Their Process with Clients

At the heart of JuMi Story is a philosophy built on collaboration. For Jun and Miya, the wedding day starts long before the camera clicks. It begins with understanding—deep, layered, and full of potential.

“Communication is key! We ask couples to send us their inspirations and their vision so that we can be fully prepared to capture their day,” they explain. “We ask to see all their dresses, shoes, rings, invitations, and jewelry. The more the better—we love spending days brewing ideas in our mind before the big day!”

That same flexibility extends to their packages. Customization is standard practice.

“Everyone wants different things, so we do our best to accommodate everyone's needs,” Jun says.

If you're planning your wedding shoot or thinking about that destination affair, the duo has one vital piece of advice:

“Look at all the things you want—don’t stop your imagination during the brainstorming stage. Then slowly see what is most important for you, and expand your ideas in that direction.”

This balance of dreaming big while staying focused has helped JuMi Story elevate countless weddings into high art.

Favorite Destination? One Word: Paris

Yes, they travel—and they travel often. Among all the romantic backdrops around the world, one destination holds their hearts:

“Paris! It's a city with so much history, fashion, and romance.”

And truly, it’s a city that mirrors their style—sophisticated yet soulful, timeless yet vibrant.

Final Frame: The Legacy JuMi Story Leaves Behind

In an industry filled with beautiful images, JuMi Story stands apart for the feeling behind every frame. They don’t just shoot weddings—they archive legacy, culture, and love in its most expressive form. With every glance, gesture, and golden-hour kiss, Jun and Miya remind us that wedding photography isn’t just about remembering what happened. It’s about feeling it again and again.
