Alina and Patrick

While it can sometimes be difficult for photographers to identify their own style, Alina and Patrick have it down pat: “Our style is moody, dark, intense and intimately artsy,” they describe. “We create portraits that reflect the souls of the couple to tell their special and unique story.”

Both Sony Alpha 7M III shooters, Alina first began her visual journey with animal photography, then moved into portraiture and then weddings. For Patrick, light is the most important thing in photography, and he is constantly looking for the perfect light to capture with his camera for his and Alina’s wedding clients. “Our images have to be more than technically perfect,” he says, “they have to capture emotions and convey them to the viewer.”
