About us:
Hi there! We are Shiva & Robert, a husband-and-wife photography duo who fell in love behind the camera and never looked back. We turned our mutual passion for photography into 15 incredible years of capturing love stories, laughter, and unforgettable moments as professional photographers. After moving all over the U.S., we recently landed in Detroit, MI, and are loving every bit of this vibrant city as our new home base. When we’re not behind the camera, you’ll likely find us sipping coffee, exploring the city’s art scene, or getting lost on spontaneous road trips with our kids.
From wedding days to family milestones, we pour our hearts into every shot. Our photography and video portfolio is a collection of joyful tears, epic scenery, and heartfelt memories that mean the world to us, and we hope they’ll inspire you too.
About our style: We absolutely love capturing moments as they unfold—like the blush of a bride, the teary-eyed groom at the altar, the loving gaze of a proud parent, and of course, all the joy and fun of the party. We see each scene from many angles, tuning into the emotions in the room and letting them guide us in telling the story. From behind the camera, we’re right there with you—laughing, tearing up, and feeling the love and warmth all around. Our goal is to make those feelings last forever through our lens. Most of the time, you won’t even notice we’re there—we’re big fans of the photojournalistic approach, documenting your day as it naturally happens. Of course, we’ll make sure to get all the classic family shots and those beautiful bride-and-groom portraits, but after that, it’s all about capturing you and your guests as you’re having the time of your life.

Robert – The Dreamer
Robert’s journey into photography started back in his teenage years when he tried every artistic outlet he could get his hands on—drawing, oil painting, sculpting... But when he picked up his first camera in high school, something just clicked (literally and figuratively). He fell in love with capturing the human experience and was drawn to portraiture, where every expression and detail told a story. By the time he was 22, he photographed his first wedding and never looked back. Photography wasn’t just a hobby anymore—it had become a part of who he was.
But here’s the twist: Robert isn’t just a photographer—he’s also a surgeon! Yep, somehow he decided that balancing medical school and a surgical residency while being a wedding photographer sounded like a good idea (and pulled it off, by the way). For him, art and science go hand in hand. As a surgeon, he’s spent years studying the human form—how the tiniest facial muscles create expressions and emotions. And as a photographer, he takes that understanding and captures those emotions in a way that tells a story. To Robert, photography isn’t just about pretty pictures (although those are nice, too)—it’s about connection, emotion, and celebrating the little moments that make life so special. And if you know Robert, you know he’s the dreamer of the duo. He loves spontaneity, chasing the kind of magical, unscripted moments that just happen. A shared glance, a surprise laugh, or a perfect sunset that wasn't on the agenda — he loves letting the moment lead the way. His love for the unexpected, combined with his knack for storytelling, is what makes his work so heartfelt.
Shiva – The Creative Soul
Shiva’s love for photography began in her late teens when she picked up her first camera and instantly fell in love with capturing moments that told a story. She started with portrait sessions, later becoming the main editor for a photography studio, where she developed a sharp eye for detail and a passion for perfecting every image. As the creative soul of the duo, Shiva is all about those little details, and makes sure every shot is beautifully composed and every detail is just right. She’s also our photo editor guru and the mastermind behind our unique timeless editing style.
Beyond photography, Shiva’s creativity also extends to music. Not only does she have an incredible eye for capturing moments, but she also has a voice that could stop traffic (in a good way). In fact, you’ll often find her serenading her family with impromptu songs—because why not add a soundtrack to everyday life? She’s also a gym enthusiast, finding her balance and strength through fitness. When she's not behind the camera or editing late into the night Shiva is at home juggling the chaos of family life while somehow staying active, artsy, and always on top of things. Whether it's planning the perfect shot or adding her signature touch to every image, Shiva’s warm heart, attention to detail, and creativity make every session feel like a true masterpiece.
