“You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one”

Hello, I'm Kuralay

I’ve traveled a long and winding road, literally and figuratively, to get to you. It all started circa 2007, when the alchemy of photography possessed my soul and my passion took me around the world. I photographed weddings in European Castles, Monk ordination ceremonies in remote Asian villages, sunrises and sunsets over the Seven Wonders of the World. I carried my camera gear through over 50 countries, but as they say there is no place like home.

My Inspiration

Upon coming back to Washington DC I was ever so lucky to meet my soulmate – Mark. He wowed me with Beatles trivia and Peace Corps stories. Our first date lasted for six hours as we strolled around downtown and shared secrets. I still remember the butterflies! He inspires me to go after my dreams every single day! It’s when I found love in my life I also found inspiration to tell love stories and wedding photography became my passion.

We had our dream destination wedding in the jungle of Puerto Rico in January of 2018. I was a barefoot bride and I carried a ship instead of a traditional bridal bouquet. We had a cake in the shape of a suitcase, we had hot air balloons as our hanging table centerpieces, we gave our guests little treasure chests filled with chocolate and exciting worldly destination. Can you guess the theme of our wedding? That’s right – it was travel and adventure!

We dreamed up this perfect day and it came true with all of it’s perfect imperfections and I wish the same magic to everyone.

A few of my favorite things...

Adventure plays a big role in my life. Majority of my clients share my passion for expanding horizons, trying new things and squeezing the most out of life. All I’m saying is that if you want to get married on Mars and are looking for a photographer who would be willing to fly up there with you, look no further - let’s chat!
