Much love,
Lauri & Peter
You've made it to the brochure! That means we like each other and want to make this work. We're excited! In this brochure you'll read all about what to expect on your wedding day, the way we work and the investment I ask of you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask those in the contact form at the end. Let's get you the story you've dreamed of!

Let's focus on connection instead of perfection
Our answer would be: soul-filling art that you'll be able to cherish for the rest of your life.
By now you'll probably realise visual storytelling isn't just our job. It's woven into our DNA. It's the way we look at the world - everything we experience and think, we translate into visuals.
It led to Agapè Stories being mentioned in top 10 lists around the world. Some of our work has gone viral on social media, or was published in Hello May Magazine and Junebug Weddings. That sounds like a dream.
And that's exactly what it used to be. When Lauri started in 2015 this seemed an unreachable Fata Morgana. She never would have dreamed of Agapè Stories becoming this big. But she had a desire and wasn't afraid to invest (blood, sweat and tears). She followed my heart and it brought her here.
To you.
This is where the story between you and us starts.

How does this process work from here on?
First, we love that our style speaks to you so much! Now that we've received your inquiry, we will plan a (online) meet&greet so we can get to know each other better. You can ask us anything, and we're so curious to hear all about you and your love story. If we all decide we're a match (very important!) and you give us the 'go' for a booking, we'll put that in writing. From there on, we declare ourselves your Best Photo and Video Friends and you can ask us anything at anytime. We'll have several convos in the lead up to the wedding and are there for any tips or advice you need. (for example: we can go over the wedding timeline with you, give you names for vendors etc). At the wedding we'll obviously capture everything in the style you booked us for, and then we deliver as agreed upon!
Do we have to pose a lot?
Definitely not! Our strength is making you feel at ease. If you feel comfortable in front of the camera, half of our work is already done.
What if it rains?
Bring it on. Any type of weather is gorgeous. We have done them all: mist, rain, thunderstorms, 35 degrees Celsius. We promise you, whatever the weather, we will use it to your advantage.
Can we book a second shooter?
If you book us for film or photography only, you will get us both! That's all included. If you decide to go with photo and video at Agapè Stories, Lauri will be your head videographer and Peter your head photographer. We can add as many people to the team as you wish, we have established very trusting relationships with amazingly talented colleagues!
Got more questions? Don't be afraid to ask them!
FAQ
We are based in The Netherlands and Australia. Are you getting married abroad? Let's go on an adventure!
From Italian hills to Scottish castles, and from Asian tea ceremonies to Nigerian dance parties: we've seen it all and know how to make it come alive even more on your screen.
Since our style speaks to you, chances are high that you put a lot of time and effort into creating the right atmosphere for your wedding. And you want that captured properly.
In our meeting we will discuss your wishes. Do you want the whole weekend captured, or just the day of the wedding? And are you wanting to add a documentary edit or drone shots?
It's all possible.
Let us know what you would like and we'll put on our creative hat to see what we can do for you.

That’s why we choose to care more about the moments of connection than about perfect framing. You will end up with a memory that gives you goose bumps and tears rather than it just being aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
The editing will be done by us. We look at every shot and select only the best of the best. Music will be picked out with great care – that alone can take up to a day!
We want to make sure every detail is great: from story to colours. This will leave you with one-of-a-kind memories that bring you right back into your wedding day – even after the day is long gone.
Per year we take on a maximum of 5 weddings. This makes us able to deliver the quality we think a Wedding Story should have – the best of the best. This means we will take generous amounts of time to get to know you as a couple and make sure your photos and/or film convey who you are.
As you have probably noticed – and hopefully therefore contacted us – our work is different than most. We think composition is important, but not nearly as important as connection. One can create the most beautifully framed shots that don’t really convey anything. That’s exactly what we do not want for you.
