weddings
by Alena & Patrick Massen
Hi, we are Alena & Patrick, a photography couple capturing weddings with authenticity and heart. Each wedding is unique, and we believe your story deserves to be told just as it happens: full of real emotions, natural beauty, and meaningful connection.
With two perspectives, we create one complete story. Patrick has an instinct for candid moments, documenting the atmosphere and emotions as they unfold. Alena brings her strength in portrait photography to your couple session, guiding with warmth to create timeless images of your connection. Together, we balance documentary and portraiture to give you wedding photographs that feel genuine, elegant, joyful and true to you.
A little more about us
We are a married couple who have been photographing together for years. Weddings by Massen grew naturally from our shared love for telling stories of connection, while our first brand, Massen Photography, continues to focus on authentic and soulful portraits. Both are rooted in the same belief: that photographs should hold truth, emotion, and presence. Beyond our cameras, we are parents, partners, and explorers of life’s beautiful and joyful moments. That personal experience shapes the way we see your day, not just as photographers, but as people who understand how precious these moments are.
Our style & approach
Our style is a blend of emotion, honesty, and timeless storytelling.
We believe the best wedding photographs are about to capture love, emotions and the connection between the couple and beloved family and friends. That’s why we focus on creating an atmosphere where you can relax, be yourselves, and truly enjoy your day. We blend into the background during the celebrations, while stepping in with gentle guidance only when it’s needed — especially for portraits.
Our approach is calm and personal: no pressure, no rush. Just space for real moments to happen, and for us to preserve them with care. The result is a collection of images that not only tell the story of your wedding but let you feel it again each time you look back.
We see every wedding as more than an event. It’s a living story made of emotions, people, and atmosphere. Our role is to notice the details, the gestures, the energy of the day, and to shape them into images that carry your love forward. Every couple is different, which is why each wedding we photograph is approached with fresh eyes and an open heart.
In the end, our work is not only about photographs but it’s about giving you a way to return to how your day felt, time and time again.
Ultimately, our approach is about more than just taking pictures; it’s about capturing the essence of your relationship and creating timeless images that you will cherish forever.
