Intentional & documentary photography

We're not your typical photographers. We chase feelings, not perfect poses. Your story, your people, the electricity in the air, that's what moves us. The result? Photos that are unmistakably, you.

YOUR DAY.
FULLY LIVED.

Your wedding day should feel like yours. Not like a styled shoot. Not like something that keeps stopping so it can be documented.

We don't photograph weddings the way they're supposed to look. We photograph them the way they actually feel.

Trends come and go. What you felt on your wedding day doesn't. And in thirty years, when you open that gallery or sit down to watch that film, we want it to hit you the same way it did the first time. Not as a document of what happened. As a doorway back into how it felt to be there.

That's the only thing we're chasing.

Husband
and wife.

Documenting hundreds of weddings across multiple nationalities in countries such as Greece, Portugal, Italy, Denmark, Spain, Romania, each one different, each one asking something different from us.

Before any “titles”, we’re humans. And we care about you.

Showing up to weddings together for the past 6 years. Not as a team of two photographers, but as two people who chose this work because they actually give a damn. About honesty. About feeling. About giving you something real.

A young man in a suit is sitting on a green sofa with his eyes closed, appearing to be sleeping or resting. A young woman with blonde hair, also in dark clothing, is lying next to him with her eyes closed and head resting on his lap, suggesting a moment of relaxation or repose.

WHAT WE BRING.

Catalina and Andrei at every wedding. Not a lead and an associate. Not us on some dates and a team on others. When you book Tandem, you get Tandem, two perspectives, one vision.

The two of us, always

Every wedding includes analog film - 35mm, integrated throughout the day. Not a preset. Not a filter. An actual medium with its own way of seeing light. The grain, the warmth, the unpredictability.

FILM, for real

At the end of the day, before we leave, we hand you a set of polaroids taken throughout the wedding. Physical photographs, already developed, already yours. Something to hold the same night it happened. (and they look great with magnets on the fridge)

Polaroids

Actual film, actual grain, actual light captured on celluloid. Not a grade, not a simulation. This format has a warmth and a texture that's specific to the medium, and once you've seen real Super 8 footage, you'll know immediately why nothing else looks like it. You get the whole footage separate with snippets of your day. (Available as an add-on)
