A black and white photo of a happy couple embracing and smiling, with the woman wearing a sleeveless dress and the man in a suit, against a plain wall.

We’re Dan and Valentina, partners in life and in this work. Based in the UK and documenting celebrations throughout Europe.

Weddings brought us together, and they’ve shaped the way we see people, connection and the moments that matter most.

Over time, this has become more than what we do. It’s how we notice, how we listen and how we remember.

About us

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

A woman wearing a white hat and a checkered coat smiling and laughing while placing her hand on a man's shoulder. The man, in a dark coat, is also smiling and looking down. They are outdoors with a blurred green natural background.

Our Story Our story began at a wedding.
Valentina had travelled from Arizona to photograph it.
Dan was there as a guest. Somewhere between the energy of the day and the people around us, our paths crossed.

A couple walking dogs along a rocky beach by a lake, with a windsurfer in the water and green hills in the background on a partly cloudy day.

A couple dancing in an elegant, historic room. The woman in a white dress with matching boots, and the man in a black tuxedo, are close together, with their eyes closed, showing affection.

Years later, we found ourselves on the other side of it, planning our own wedding during the pandemic. Without many of the people we love around us, we felt first-hand how rare it is to have everyone in one place, at one time.

Two people wearing masks sitting on wooden chairs at an indoor event, possibly a wedding or ceremony, in black and white.

That experience stayed with us.

It’s why we don’t just focus on the couple.
We pay attention to the people around you, the shared history, the quiet pride, the moments that don’t ask to be seen but end up meaning everything later.
