We work as a unit. Every wedding gets two photographers, two perspectives, and one consistent editing vision.
SOHO Zürich is a space built for atmosphere. It doesn't need a photographer who fights the venue, it needs one who understands it. We shoot with available light when possible, work with real environments over artificial setups, and prioritize images that feel like they belong in the space where they were made.
Our approach: intentional composition, minimal intervention, and images that look like art not templates.
Two professional photographers for the entire session
Pre-wedding planning consultation covering timeline, locations within SOHO, and logistics
Professional editing with consistent colour grading
8–10 edited images delivered within two days
Private online gallery for viewing and high-resolution download
Commercial-free, watermark-free files for personal use. Delivery within 4 weeks
This package covers the core of your wedding day. From preparation through the celebration. It's a straightforward, efficient session for couples who value quality coverage of the moments that matter most.
This package includes full-day documentation from the quiet moments of getting ready through the last dance. Nothing rushed, nothing missed.
Every wedding is different. Some stretch across two days. Some start in the mountains and end in the city. Some need a cinematic highlight film. Others call for a hand-bound album and fine art prints on the wall.
The Tailored Package starts with a free consultation where we learn what matters to you, and then we build something that fits.
Examples: multi-day coverage, destination or multi-location shooting, cinematic highlight video (5+ minutes), premium hand-crafted album, fine art prints and wall art, extended hours, on-site photo corner with instant prints.
No fixed price. Just exactly what you need. Let's talk.
Both photographers do photography out of passion and do not want to just sell you a package, therefore we offer a free consultation in person to understand your needs and then we suggest which option is suitable to meet your expectations.
After booking, we schedule a planning session to walk through the timeline, discuss the couple's priorities, and plan how to use SOHO's spaces. We handle coordination with any other vendors as needed.
Anastasia leads the creative direction and shoots the primary angles: ceremony, portraits, details, and the moments that define the day. Obada covers the second perspective: candid guest reactions, behind-the-scenes moments, and everything happening in another part of the venue at the same time.
No rigid shot lists. No forced poses. We direct when it helps and step back when the moment speaks for itself.

We met a few years ago through the photography community in Zurich. Anastasia was already deep into her own practice; Obada was building his. We kept crossing paths at events, traded notes, and eventually someone asked if we could cover a large regional event together. We said yes, and it just worked.
That first collaboration turned into dozens more. Cultural festivals, corporate galas, community celebrations, some with well over 3,000 people. The scale taught us how to move fast, read a room, and trust each other without needing to talk through every shot.
But it was weddings that made us realize we were a real team. We both come from cultures where a wedding is not just a party. It is the event. A once-in-a-lifetime day that carries real weight, real emotion, and real meaning for everyone in the room. We grew up understanding that, and we carry that attitude into every wedding we photograph.
Anastasia brings over 16 years of experience across illustration, film, and studio photography. She leads the creative direction, the editing, and the overall visual story. Obada brings calm precision, a sharp eye for candid moments, and the ability to keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. He reads the room, anticipates what comes next, and makes sure nothing important gets missed.
Together, we bring artistic vision and operational reliability that is hard to replicate with a single photographer.
