We are a husband and wife Florida wedding photography team based out of beautiful Naples, Florida. We've been here almost all of our lives and consider ourselves true Neapolitans.
What makes us tick?
We are passionate about love, family, life and the art of fine image making. We feel that we really have the best job around and that makes us tick! We are invited to be a part of one of the most important days in people's lives. They trust us to capture and document those moments and for us, that is one of the highest honors we can achieve.
What do we offer?
With a background in fine art photography, photojournalism, and traditional photography, we offer one-of-a-kind South Florida wedding and portrait photography with an artistic and modern edge. And how do we best showcase your images? With beautiful archival albums and awesome wall art that you haven't seen around!
A little bit more about our business and us!
- Our hands touch everything that leaves our studio…..our vision can only be created by us. We don't do outsourcing
- Astrid has a Bachelor's in Photography and Digital Imaging from Ringling College of Art and Design. And Rene started shooting weddings when he was 13! The skinny…this isn't a weekend warrior thing for us. We live, eat and breathe photography.....
- We'll never double-book on your day. The morning of your wedding, we will be relaxing, playing a little Wii and enjoying our family
- We accept a very limited amount of commissioned fine art weddings per year in order to keep our high standards, well.....HIGH! Great art takes time and we make sure we have plenty of it for all of our brides and grooms
- We always shoot together. We are totally joined at the hip and wouldn't have it any other way. What do you expect from high school sweethearts? :)
- Our style is different and we relish creativity. Nothing is too far out for us…put us to the test!
- We LOVE quirky, fun and spontaneous brides and grooms....
- A signed contract and a retainer fee makes us yours for the day....
- We're a green business! Rene even drives a biodiesel VW. Ask us for more green details
- Our online proofing and ordering site is SWEET! It's even easy to use so you can share it with everyone
- We happily accept credit cards
- Everything we do is customized for YOU. That means no cheesy templates, recycled textures or cookie cutter album designs. Every person is different, every wedding is different and every wedding collection is different and we understand and embrace that.
- We're not just photographers, we're artists! It's not just about taking a picture, which anyone can do with an expensive camera. We make art for you OF you!
- We love what we do and we like to joke around but we take our clients, our work and our business very seriously
- Tampa? Orlando? Miami? Paris? Hong Kong? We love to travel so if you aren't getting married here in Naples, no problem at all! :) Our passports are at the ready!
- If you are out of town, we'll go out of our way to connect with you however you prefer…phone, email, ichat, Skype, video chat, AIM, you name it. We have tons of online samples of our work and we can setup meetings at your convenience
- Need references? We have plenty and we are more than happy to provide references from happy brides and grooms, wedding coordinators, venues and other wedding vendors
- Astrid's favorite quote: "I have discovered photography. Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn." - Pablo Picasso
