At Portrait Stories by ak, I believe that every story—whether it's a wedding, a connection between two people, or an individual’s journey—is worth capturing with authenticity and artistry. My goal is to create soulful, timeless images that speak to who you are. Here’s how I can help bring your story to life

Weddings

What I Cover:

  • Pre-ceremony moments, details, and emotions

  • Ceremony highlights and candid guest interactions

  • Couple portraits, family moments, and reception storytelling

  • The quiet, unscripted in-between moments that often go unnoticed

How I Shoot:

My approach to wedding photography is all about capturing your day naturally, as it unfolds.

I work discreetly, like a "fly on the wall," to document genuine emotions and interactions without interruption or awkward posing. While I remain unobtrusive, I also guide you gently during portraits to ensure they feel relaxed and true to your style. The goal is real, honest storytelling through every photograph.
