What's your favorite piece of camera equipment and why?

Martin has a 67 year old camera that he uses for his personal projects, travels and also weddings and what he loves about it is the “freedom from photography” that it gives him, there’s no buttons or functions to set up and ways to check the image afterwards, so you just are in the moment and really see it, and almost like capture in meanwhile, if it’s something worthy of capturing for yourself.

Sue has a compact film Yashica, that’s like an easy going companion with which she can explore the world while also not being distracted by anything to set up. She also likes the time that you need to wait before you see your images, so you can reflect on it.

What keeps you passionate about your work?

When the couple responds to their photos, it gives us the sense that something very important happened for these people and we have a part in reminding it to them. I guess this never gets old. We ourselves love to go through older galleries of our clients and look back at what a great day it was and when an album comes for them, Suzie wants to keep it for herself. :)

How did you get started in wedding photography? And why have you specialized in weddings? / What else do you do / shoot?

Having studied marketing and working in corporations, it would never come to our mind it would be possible to make a living as photographers, without any background, gear and contacts. And yet we couldn’t stop taking pictures. Somehow we got to a book by Australian wedding photographer Marcus Bell and a blog by Jonas Peterson and realized that wedding photography is actually quite a meaningful thing to do. Then a colleague at work was getting married, so we offered to document it fo free, and we’ve been doing it ever since.

Besides weddings we like to try various things, we’ve shot commercial campaigns, portraits for magazines, architecture, and we love something about each of these, but weddings are still our favorite thing to do.
