What it’s like working with Calini Weddings
Having Nick and Luiza at our wedding day was an absolute dream!
We fell in love with their photography and videography through their website, but fell in love with them as people at our engagement shoot, so it just felt like having extra special guests on our big day. Our guests loved their happy and smiling presence and they made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera - which is no mean feat when it comes to my camera shy mum.
We are completely obsessed with our videos and the photographs they captured for us and will cherish them always! Could not recommend these two enough ❤️

We had the pleasure of having Luiza as our wedding videographer for our wedding day. She captured our day beautifully from start to finish and we couldn’t be happier with our videos. We have the full feature video and a highlight video that we can share with our friends and family and cherish forever.
She was so professional and her patience and attention to detail were incredible and we can’t thank her enough. She is truly amazing at what she does and is such a talented lady.
We will highly recommend Luiza’s services to anyone in need of a videographer.
Thank you again Luiza, we are so grateful for your hard work and expertise and staying those extra hours last minute to capture everything from our day. We hope our paths cross again in the future!

Choosing the right photographer for your wedding is one of the most important decisions for your big day.
Nick and Luiza were recommended to us and it was clear from the 1st call that they were perfect to capture our special day. The passion they showed firstly to get to know us and then to understand how we wanted to capture the day set us instantly at ease.
The infectious joy, excitement and professionalism they brought to the day really made it an experience that we will be eternally grateful for and will never forget.
The pictures are absolutely stunning and don't just catalogue the day but have captured the story and emotion for what was a wonderful day for us.
They never made the photography or videography feel intrusive and made it fun, exciting and a real joy for us.
We can never thank Nick and Luiza enough for making our special day even more wonderful and leaving us with wonderful pictures and video that we will treasure.

Well, what can we say about Nick!
We first contacted Nick just two weeks before our wedding day. Not only did he respond straight away, but it was clear from his responses that he wanted to 'fit' into our special day, he wanted it all to be about us.
From the moment we met Nick, he made us feel calm, relaxed and at ease in front of the camera. He has an eye for detail and he uses a range of different photography techniques to get the perfect shots. Not only did Nick focus on the small and very important details of our wedding, but he made sure that we were having fun too!
Nick is a very friendly, warm and social guy. We can't wait to see our wedding photos. Many thanks Nick!
