Hi There!
We are Leigh and Renata. A couple who love to capture beautiful moments around the world.
This story starts many years ago when Leigh held a camera for the first time, a time when digital cameras didn't even exist! He was only sixteen years old and since then he has been photographing; from fashion weeks to intimate moments. For the past ten years he had photographed hundreds of 'I do’s'.
Three years ago was our turn to say “I'do"! Since then we are a team and we love the fact that we share the same passions. Getting married recently helped us to see things from another perspective. We are here to make this process as simple and easy as possible for our couples.
My Approach
Many photographers like to define themselves, but for us, we think that is impossible. I have no fixed style, instead I am influenced by the subject, the mood or the occasion. Each wedding is unique and we like to be influenced by the subject. We believe that we include several features in our photography. We love to photograph in a natural way, without you realising that we are photographing, like a fly on the wall. At the same time, we want to give our couples incredible photos that you will be proud to hang on your wall like a piece of artwork. But don’t worry, this just take a couple of minutes! Our years of experience have allowed us to develop the ability to photograph your wedding in a beautiful way and at the same time allow you to fully enjoy this important day. We want you to have fun and relax while we capture your day.
Love Life
There is something about the freedom which surfing and snowboarding brings which makes it almost addictive to me; the stresses and strains of the fast paced life seem to float away leaving me able to fully appreciate the beautiful world around us.It is this love of nature that first inspired me to pick up my first camera when I was a wee lad of just fourteen. I loved it so much and got so excited by it that I knew right then it was the career for me. I set up a lab in my parents’ shed and have developed my own prints ever since.
EXPERIENCE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
I believe that learning the trade from such a young age, using film and the good old-fashioned techniques, gives my work a little edge. Before technology was around to give us a helping hand, a good photograph required excellent knowledge of creative lighting and perspective – skills I still utilise in my work. I feel this makes my pictures a little different, warmer in some way, and hope that my customers feel I have effectively captured not just the events but also the feeling of their special day.
