We've come from long years of enjoying a communal passion. Our roots hail from the creative side of the college halls. Or the street where music, vision, and art meet - the one say is the. "less explored". From a diversion from the youthful monotony to a hustle from the professional mundane, we all ventured to different photography disciplines.
Later on, we found the love in taking wedding photographs. We've shot more than a thousand wedding thats over 10 years.
Together we loved the grind, became family men, and thrived as best of friends.

Jayson embarked on a journey driven by a profound inspiration of unobtrusively capturing wedding moments. With background in UST fine arts and a deep appreciation for visual storytelling, he founded Shootme Photo in 2014.
The early days were marked by extensive hours of working tirelessly to build a portfolio that showcased his unique perspective.
Today he remains as the team's vision relentless in capturing those fleeting moments.
Jayson is also a musician, a dog lover, and a wood craftsman.

Byron could've met Jayson in one of those band gigs back in college as they both play the guitar. He joined the team and continues to contribute as one of our chief photographers. He also shoots for a few of the country's big wedding photography brands.
His approach is always fresh and mainstream. He takes care of our stunning bridal portraits and make sure the relationship between an artist and the subject is always bridged.
Byron is also a fitness enthusiast, a plant dad, and a full-time family man.
📸
Serg started as a sports photographer back in college. Later his photography evolved during his travels and on the streets.
He shot for Shootme back in 2014 and established a great connection with the team.
He is a photojournalist adept at shooting during the bride's final moments before she walks the aisle.
Today he is based in St. Louis, Missouri managing our backend operations and US weddings.
Serg is also a journalist, a worship musician, and a budding home cook.

The hype of capturing that first-look, split second glance between two marrying souls is still our priority.
After all these years, the pursuit of subtle, heartfelt, and timeless wedding photographs is still on.
