Do you shoot destination weddings?

Yes, we do, nationally and internationally. We love to travel and meet new couples no matter what.

How many pictures do you shoot?

Between 1500 to 2000 images (more or less), full-resolution, post-production, and no watermarks. But who's counting? we don't limit our style counting images. So prepare yourself: if we need we deliver 4000 images.

What kind of gear do you use?

We are Sony Pro shooters, working with the best mirrorless cameras in the market, full-frame, and with the Fuji system. We work also with film 35/120mm and vintage cameras.

How many weddings do you shoot?

We have been working together for a long time, so we know each other very well. We can do 2 weddings per day, always with the same team, everything edited by us, always.

Do you shoot mostly black and white?

90% of the pictures we deliver to you are color ones. Our black and white pictures on site and posts are personal taste. At the end, you'll always have a web gallery for you to see and approve the final work. Anything you want to change it´s possible, so don't worry.

Do you split your team for bride/groom preparation?

There's a reason why we don´t like to do this: it just doesn´t make sense according to our aesthetics. You are hiring a team to work creatively with you. We know that a wedding day is very intense to everyone, but running like crazy just because we need "those standard photos" with people eating it just doesn't make sense to us. It doesn't make sense also running 300km up and down. We are relaxed people so we look for the same on you. More and more we shoot couples that are staying together or in the same place. And till now, those are our best works, not about the places, but because your are focused on the meaningful stuff, like sharing the best moments with the people you really care. Just think about that.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY MANCHESTER

Engagement and Pre-Wedding Photography

What can we say: we loved this experience. Mónica & Pedro are a lovely couple and became great friends after this.

We met them at our studio in Porto and soon got thrilled with fresh ideas: doing a photoshoot and videoshoot on a road trip around Liverpool, Lake District and Manchester.

It was amazing. I'm suspicious because I'm always compelled to shoot in UK. Love the aesthetics, the culture, and really imagine doing more wedding photography there.

Mónica & Pedro never give up on us. Sometimes it was hard, specially on Lake District. It was so cold and Pedro was getting sick also.

We wanted to have some kind of storytelling in our pictures to bring more value to the wedding video. It had to be real according to their life and experience far away from their loved ones.

Of course the places we shoot matter (a lot) but they will never matter as much as the people we work with. This friends gave us the best experience we could ever had.

We also had a Karaoke Night with awesome beers on the mix (@tstellers style:)

Can't wait to revisit them at the wedding here in Portugal very soon at Quinta de Segade.

O que dizer: adoramos esta experiência. A Mónica e o Pedro são um casal adorável e que depois disto, se tornaram bons amigos.

Conhecemo-los no nosso estúdio no Porto, e rapidamente ficamos entusiasmados com o plano: fazer uma sessão de fotografia e vídeo, numa vertente documental ao longo de uma road trip por Liverpool, Lake District e Manchester.

Foi fantástico. Sou suspeito, porque adoro fotografar e filmar no Reino Unido. Sou atraído pela estética, cultura e realmente imagino os The Storytellers a fazer mais fotografia e video de casamentos no UK.

A Mónica e o Pedro nunca desistiram de nós (nem nós deles). Muitas alturas foram difíceis, especialmente no Lake District. Estava muito frio, e o Pedro a adoecer também.

Quisemos ter algum tipo de narrativa visual, que pudesse acrescentar valor ao video final de casamento. Tinha que ser real de acordo com a sua vida e experiência longe dos seus familiares e amigos.

É claro que os locais onde filmamos e fotografamos são importantes (e muito), mas nunca serão tão importantes quanto as pessoas com quem trabalhamos. Estes amigos deram-nos a melhor experiência que poderíamos ter.

Também tivemos uma noite de karaoke com cervejas incríveis à mistura (@tstellers style) :)

Mal posso esperar para revê-los no casamento aqui em Portugal, muito em breve na Quinta de Segade.
