Hello, We're arra + nereyda STORYTELLERS for THE WILDLY IN LOVE
the creatives behind the lens...
Hola! We are Ned + Arra. Ned was born in South Texas but raised in Central Texas. Ned has always loved the West Coast and lived out there for a while. Arra is from South Africa; however, she grew up in Nigeria. We are newlyweds and have three beautiful pups that we love to hang out with. In our free time, we love camping and being outdoors, and we travel whenever we can.
Your comfort is what’s important to us. We are the photographers who bring ibuprofen, Dramamine, and makeup remover. Whether we're capturing your special day, an at-home shoot with your family, or a couples shoot. We are goofy, and we will 100% make you laugh the entire time we take photographs.
We primarily focus on candid/emotional documentary photography. We are here to capture your love story, not make you pose in front of the camera and smile directly at us. We want to document the reason you fell in love with your partner and be artistic with it at the same time. We are part of the LGBTQ+ community (obvi lol), and we welcome everyone into our world. We are huge advocates for equality, and we are always honored to capture raw emotion because, well, love is love, and no one should be ashamed of who they absolutely adore. Our approach to photography is simple; we are all about you being yourself, and us subtly directing you.
Let’s turn our visions into reality, and allow us to photograph raw, organic moments between you and your partner.
our ARTISTIC PROMISETIMELESS IMAGERY for THE MODERN ROMANTIC
Our style is a delicate blend of fine art and photojournalism. For your portraits, Arra offers gentle guidance to help you feel comfortable and look your most beautiful, creating elegant, artfully composed images. Ned will be behind the camera and bring a touch of creativity to the shots. For the rest of your day, we will take a documentary approach, capturing authentic moments as they unfold naturally. The result is a gallery filled with light, emotion, and an effortless sophistication that will stand the test of time.
