People find love in places they’ve never been to. In people they’ve never met.
And then there are some that find love in their oldest friends.
Because it’s Valentines’ Day, we got four photographers to tell us a little about their all-time favourite picture, and give us a little glimpse of their romantic side.
After all, they are the ones capturing every beautiful moment, behind-the-scenes.
THE STORYTELLER
Natasha Samant
She easily documents emotions, making her wedding photography even more evocative. The Storyteller promises to capture your journey in the most poignant way possible – tight hugs, happy tears, discreet grins and the magic during the madness.

THE CHEESECAKE PROJECT
