Photographer Mushegh Khachikyan, also known as Moosho, leads Moosho Photography, a North American-based fine art wedding photography studio. The studio showcases their commitment to capturing genuine emotions during the most significant moments. The displayed photograph features a minimalistically designed wedding ceremony at Hummingbird Nest Ranch that emphasizes Moosho’s artistic and cinematic style. “By using a beautifully designed backdrop, the perfect angle, and allowing the bride’s veil to play freely in the wind, we are able to capture photographs such as the one displayed,” Moosho explains.
Moosho Photography’s portfolio features images that combine natural light with emotional depth, differentiating themselves in the market. Moosho focuses on capturing candid, unposed moments that tell each bride’s or couple’s unique story.
A Different Approach to Wedding Photography
In a market with many traditional posed portraits and similar templates, Moosho has a different perspective on wedding photography. They believe that the most beautiful moments happen naturally, without prompts or interruptions.
“We blend into the background, observing and capturing the authentic interactions between a couple and their loved ones,” Moosho explains.
This philosophy has earned Moosho Photography a reputation as a studio for couples seeking a more contemporary and artistic perspective on wedding documentation. Their portfolio showcases a range of styles and techniques that differ from conventional wedding photography, including an emphasis on black-and-white portraits and candid, emotional images.
Using Light and Shadow Effectively
One key aspect of Moosho’s style is his use of light and shadow. Moosho and his team find ways to use both natural and artificial light sources to create dramatic and intimate images. Moosho describes, “Playing with light, whether it be natural or artificial, highlights the emotions and details that make each wedding unique.”
The industry has recognized this outlook, and Moosho has gained a following amongst couples who appreciate the studio’s ability to transform what may seem an ordinary moment into a photograph exhibiting a multitude of emotions.
Elevating the Wedding Experience
In addition to technical skills and artistic vision, Moosho focuses on providing a positive experience for his clients. From the initial consultation to the final album delivery, Moosho and his team work with each couple to ensure that the photography process is smooth and stress-free.
“We understand that a wedding day can be overwhelming, with many moving parts and emotions,” Moosho shares. “Our goal is to be a calming presence, to guide our couples through the process and help them feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.”
The studio also believes that collaboration is key. “A wedding day cannot be successful without the help of all of the vendors involved,” Moosho explains. “With a team who has chemistry working together, the possibilities are truly endless and the outcome can be nothing short of magical.” He goes on to explain that this wedding was inspired by a modern garden aesthetic designed collaboratively by some of the key vendors involved.
This dedication to customer service and their talent has established Moosho Photography as a respected studio in the wedding photography industry. As they continue to explore creativity and storytelling, it encourages other photographers to focus on capturing raw emotion and use an artistic perspective.
“A wedding is a story waiting to be told. At Moosho Photography, we are the storytellers, the artists who capture these precious moments, one frame at a time,” Moosho concludes.
