Love in the Museum - X&A

Every photoshoot is special and unique, truly. Because it’s about you and there’s only one story like yours. But there’s no greater joy than when we create something truly new, something different – and in this case, we captured Xenii and Alen in a special location.

It all started with the idea of taking a few creative shots to complement their mini-wedding, but the cold and rainy weather didn’t cooperate, so we had to find an indoor solution. I’ve long dreamed of doing a photoshoot at the Museum of Fine Arts – and luckily, Xenii and Alen immediately fell in love with the concept.

The challenge with the location is that, on the one hand, there are always plenty of people in the exhibits, so we had to be patient and quick-witted to make sure no one photobombed the pictures (although a lot can be fixed in post-production, I still believe that what can be done well in the ‘raw’ shot should be). On the other hand, we couldn’t use flash, so we had to make the most of the indoor lighting as creatively as possible. Honestly, I really enjoyed this creative process – these “challenges” are captivating, they draw me in and push me to step out of my comfort zone. Honestly, it’s hard for me to stop shooting at moments like this! 😀
