ARCHIVING
your love.
A lovestory
Being married ourselves changed the way we see weddings completely. We experienced how fleeting this day can feel, how the smallest moments often become the ones you carry with you forever.
The deep breath before walking down the aisle, a hand gently reaching for yours, the feeling of looking around and seeing everyone you love.
captured by a love story.
for us, wedding photography and videography is never about perfection. it’s about
moments in a way, that’ll let you return to them for the rest of your life not just to remember how it looked but to feel how it all felt again.
archiving
for us - it’s about you.

Ben Small comes from the film world and captures weddings in motion mostly digital, sometimes handy cam and in a way that feels like scenes straight out of a film. The laughter after the ceremony, your friends dancing barefoot at midnight, the quiet drive home after it all ends. Not scripted by a director but life and love itself.
Isabell Beenker photographs entirely on 35mm and 120mm film, inspired by old editorials, natural ight and the beauty of things that aren’t perfectly posed. For her it is about the blurry movement, the wind in your veil, champagne on your dress, the moments in between that without knowing it end up meaning the most. Sometimes captured on super 8, because some memories deserve to move forever.
we document weddings, elopements and love stories across Europe and wherever else love decides to take people. usually with too much camera equipment, a few rolls of film in our pockets and the constant urge to turn ordinary moments into something cinematic.
together, we create wedding photography and films that feel nostalgic, intimate and deeply alive blending documentary honesty with an editorial eye. Covering the creative process from its beginning.
Shaped around your dreams
This is your sign. Tell us when you’re ready to celebrate your love, and drop us your dreams, wishes, and all the soft little things you’re hoping for. We’re not exactly magicians, but we will try our absolute best to make it feel a little unreal (in a good way).
