Meet the team behind the lens
WE WANT YOU TO
Look back at your photos, and feel it all over again.
We work with a trusted team of photographers and videographers who share our approach and standards. Together, we focus on creating beautiful, honest imagery while making the experience feel effortless from beginning to end.
We’ll give direction when it’s needed, step back when it isn’t, and make sure you never have to wonder what to do in front of the camera.
When we're not at a wedding...
We’re usually working on something, building something, or disappearing somewhere outdoors. We’ve been together long enough to know exactly how to annoy each other, somehow still enjoy working together, and share our home with a cat who is fairly certain he owns the place.Lilac Studios is very much a reflection of the two of us — how we see things, how we work, and the standards we hold ourselves to.
Photography that feels like your wedding.
Our approach combines thoughtful composition with genuine, unscripted moments. We create photographs and films with intention, while leaving space for the day to unfold naturally.The result is imagery that feels polished without feeling staged - expressive, cinematic, and rooted in what actually happened.
More than what you see.
A wedding day moves quickly, and you simply can’t be everywhere at once. While you’re living one moment, dozens of others are happening around you.We pay attention to those moments - the reactions, interactions, details and people that make the day yours. Our goal is to tell the story beyond the expected highlights, so when you look back, you discover parts of your wedding you didn’t even know were happening.
The Team
Natalia
Creator of Lilac Studios, Lead Photographer | Customer Happiness Guru
Natalia’s creative path started as soon as she could hold a pencil. Her mom had to travel to larger cities to buy countless coloring books and signed her up for art classes at the age of 4. Although she tried many things, it was when she got her first camera that she knew it was her way of capturing the beauty of the world, people, and finally, love stories.
Natalia’s superpower is putting her couples and their closest ones at ease and radiating calm energy throughout the chaos of a wedding day.
Most clients describe her as a down-to-earth, kind, and detail-oriented person.
Matt
Creator of Lilac Studios, Lead Videographer | Tech Wizard | Expert of Operations
Having a hobbyist photographer dad, who would convert the kitchen into a darkroom on a daily basis, Matt was surrounded by photographic paper, film, and red bulbs since early childhood. His natural curiosity for the technical process and artsy mind led him to pursue Vision and Sound Engineering Studies, where he could combine both worlds, filming short documentary films and exploring the technical aspects of the film industry simultaneously. It didn't take him long to realize that what he loved most was capturing the emotional stories of people.
Our clients describe him as an easy-going person. It is evident that his jokes, huge smile, and deep laugh make people so comfortable around him.
Tom
Lead Editor
As Matt’s younger brother, Tom has been surrounded by photography and art since he can remember. Starting as a content creator in times when YouTube wasn’t owned by Google, he developed a great understanding and knowledge about film, editing, and storytelling. His first creations were sports documentaries, as he is still a huge fan of the NBA and soccer (YNWA!). You can see some of those influences in his creations.
His expert knowledge and great attention to detail make him the perfect person to translate your story into an edited film.
Amr
Associate Photographer
Amr’s photography journey began as a Flight Attendant at Emirates Airlines, where he developed a passion for capturing high-quality images of the destinations he visited. Over time, his passion grew, along with his skills in photography and editing. He started focusing on portrait and event photography before finding his true calling in weddings. Documenting one of the most important days in people’s lives became incredibly rewarding.
His superpower is storytelling through photography—capturing everything from the classic kiss at the altar to the in-between moments. He strives to create images that reflect the authenticity of each moment, allowing couples to relive their special day.
Clients often describe Amr as approachable, calm, and engaging. They frequently mention how comfortable he makes them feel in front of the camera and how enjoyable he makes their day.
Keyur
Associate Photographer & Videographer
From childhood, Keyur was fascinated by cameras and motion graphics. With a background in visual effects compositing, he honed his skills in visual storytelling for TV and film. His passion for capturing genuine emotions led him to photography and videography, especially for life’s most meaningful moments.After gaining experience with family events, he transitioned into wedding photography and videography. His first English Christian wedding, second shooting with Natalia and Matt, sparked his love for the process—the emotions, the celebrations, and the flow of the day.
As a hybrid shooter, Keyur excels in both photo and video, with a keen eye for detail.
Clients describe him as enthusiastic and dedicated, always going the extra mile to capture each moment beautifully.
Frank
Associate Photographer
Frank’s journey into wedding photography started with his love for capturing people’s emotions and real, unscripted moments. He was already shooting portraits and events when friends began asking him to photograph their weddings. After his first wedding gig, he was hooked—the mix of storytelling, emotion, and creativity was exactly what he loved.
His superpower is making people feel at ease in front of the camera. Whether calming a nervous couple or bringing energy to a wedding party, he creates a relaxed, natural atmosphere where real moments shine.
Clients describe Frank as easygoing yet professional, seamlessly blending into the day while offering direction when needed. With a keen eye for detail and emotion, he ensures every shot feels meaningful.
Noah
Associate Videographer
In 2024, he had the chance to film a family friend’s wedding — an experience that sparked a genuine love for capturing weddings. Since then, he’s had the opportunity to work alongside Matt and Natalia at Lilac Studios, learning and growing with every story he helps tell.
His superpower as a wedding videographer is his calm presence and cinematic eye. He stays relaxed and focused throughout the day, with a passion and stamina that keep him fully present from the first look to the final dance.
