Post Script ~ thoughts on the eve of launching MUSE Bride v2.0: very proud to say that for the past 12 weeks we’ve created, coded, and curated this entire website with the help of our fair share of Sangiovese, sunsets, and sofas. Many thanks to RÜFÜS DU SOL ~ “Innerbloom” for keeping the mood light and relaxed during the many late night solo coding sessions.

What We Believe In
Creating Metaphors: We believe every image has the capacity to stand for something deeper than what is apparent.
Making Tools: We believe in creating hybrid tools in order to create beautiful images. We believe that hand-made tools amplify our creativity.
Slowing Down: We believe it's important to desynchronize from standard time frames. We believe that by slowing down beautiful images will present themselves magically.
Additional Portfolios
In addition to photographing weddings and bridal editorials for individual Clients, we also work on local, national and international advertising, editorial, and commercial campaigns for global businesses, advertising \ branding agencies and Asian-based start ups.
