Description: Apertura is a photographic duo that combines artistry and kinetic energy with a documentary style. “Great stories are made of a series of real moments and emotions,” says co-founders Ray Soemarsono & Erwin Darmali.

“Since we believe that the images should be about the personality of our clients, we continue to push beyond complacency by trying something new at each wedding.”

He adds that a wedding photographer’s ultimate goal is to create a timeless document. “We are recording a slice of family history through a series of emotionally charged images,” he says. “The impact may not be felt right away, but it will definitely grow as time passes by.”
