“Ludo and Dani are amazing ! They custom made our package as we eloped and no one but them gave us this option. They communicated the whole planing phase and told us best times etc for photos. The day of the wedding Ludo was amazing to capture every moment, he involved our kids and made them feel just as special. The photos and video we have are absolutely amazing. Would defiantly recommend them for any event. Thank you again Dani and Ludo” – Bernadette

Ludo and his wife Dani were fantastic from the get go, they have such a bubbly personality and we felt we had a great connection with them from our first video call. They consistently had quick responses to all of our questions and worked with us to create a timeline for our wedding day.” – Robert
“Ludo was the photographer at our wedding, and it was the best decision to book him. I have showed our photos to a few friends and they tell us we have a very rare problem – too many amazing photos to choose which ones to print. Ludo was so good to work with, and is a really talented photographer.” – Rebecca
“10/10!!! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better videographer for our wedding day! Ludo captured every special moment into an amazing 10 minute film and a documentary edit. Ludo’s personality made it so easy to be ourselves in front of the camera, and he captured all the organic moments without us feeling posed or taken away from enjoying the day.” – Alannah + Mitch
