A touch of Arabia. Since we practically live in the desert, it’s been a dream of mine to show our clients how creative they can actually be at a session, and how much thought can go into an engagement session. We feel that going out to the desert is one of the best choices for an engagement session. […]

Art, history & France – what’s not to love? After crashing the rental car and sadly realising that museum d’Orsy in Paris had to be crossed of the list for this time, I did satisfy my love for churches and historic art. The colours, the light, the feeling, the grandeur, the small, the details, everything about […]

This beach portrait on Yas Island was such a dream! We were so short on time for this session and I think I’ve never worked so hard but I also find that I produce the best work when I push myself. I lovingly refer to this session as Portrait of a woman. It’s one of my absolute favourite sessions, […]

I’ve been meaning to post this blogpost for a while, but as wedding season is spiking in the UAE, there has been little time.

If you can choose to have a session with greenery, a session in the desert or one at the beach, what do you pick? Most families would pick the beach but what we love about this location is that you can combine your session, have some greenery and a get coastal feel even if it’s […]

Liz & Gab Wedding Saadiyat Island A beach wedding at Saadiyat Beach Club, Abu Dhabi with a boho vibe! We loved being part of Liz & Gab’s wedding at Saadiyat Island – it was colourful, completely different than anything we’ve photographed before, very personal with such an intimate and relaxed feel! With Italian lingo flying around during the day, lots of […]

Rio & Adam, Nurai Island Abu Dhabi This year we had the pleasure of photographing Rio & Adam anniversary that they celebrated on the beautiful Nurai Island, staying in a private villa at the Zaya resort.
