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

I approach weddings with a documentary style—observing, anticipating, and capturing your story as it unfolds naturally, without forced poses or interruptions.

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 is often described as being like a "fly on the wall"—meaning I remain quietly in the background, fully present but non-intrusive. This allows me to capture raw, unfiltered emotions and genuine interactions as they naturally occur. No awkward staging. No over-directing. Just real, honest storytelling through photographs.

I blend into the energy of your day, letting things unfold while I frame each scene with an artistic, cinematic eye. When it’s time for portraits, I guide you gently to keep things relaxed and true to your vibe—never stiff or overly posed.

Together Portraits

Whether you’re newly engaged, celebrating an anniversary, or simply documenting your journey together, this session is all about capturing the real chemistry between you and your partner. These are relaxed, emotive portraits that reflect your story.

How I Shoot:

I guide you gently through natural poses and playful prompts to help you connect and feel at ease. No stiff, overly posed shots—just real moments with a touch of cinematic flair. We'll shoot in a location that suits your vibe, whether it’s a downtown walk, a cozy field, or your favourite hangout spot.
