Zippo
There’s a softness to the way Zippo sees the world — a calm, cinematic way of capturing people that makes even the simplest moment feel meaningful. The images feel like a deep breath: natural light, gentle tones, and couples who look like themselves rather than characters in someone else’s script. What makes the work stand out is that it doesn’t scream for attention; it draws you in quietly. Weddings are shown not just as events, but as lived experiences full of texture, intimacy, and atmosphere.
When you look back on your wedding, the photos will be the part you return to most — the looks, the atmosphere, the details you didn’t even notice in the moment. That’s why it really matters who stands behind the camera. Any of these five photographers can turn your Maldives wedding into a set of memories that feel alive, not staged.
Revery Media
Revery Media stands out in the Maldives for its ability to turn real moments into cinematic, emotionally rich stories. Co-founded by photographer and filmmaker Maais, the studio brings together visual artistry, calm refinement, and a strong sense of narrative — making it a trusted choice for luxury resorts, destination weddings, and lifestyle brands across the islands and beyond.
The studio’s visual identity comes directly from Maais’s background and philosophy. “My photography style blends cinematic storytelling with clean, natural tones and refined composition,” he shares. His approach bridges editorial aesthetics with genuine atmosphere, creating images that feel timeless, modern, and deeply connected to the people within them.
Suhael Saeed
Suhael Saeed brings a blend of style, sincerity, and effortless elegance to wedding photography — a combination shaped by his roots in fashion and refined through years of capturing real emotion. “I began as a fashion photographer and eventually found my passion in weddings,” he shares. What clicked for him was the balance between beauty and honesty, the mix of editorial finesse and raw human connection. Or, as he describes it himself, “my work combines editorial aesthetic and authencity of real moments.”
Suhael’s approach is both meticulous and deeply personal. “What I enjoy most about being a photographer is making people feel like their best selves in front of the camera,” he says. There’s a warmth and calmness to the way he works — the kind that helps even the shyest couple relax, breathe, and simply be themselves.
Denys Poluliakh
Denys Poluliakh brings fourteen years of experience, energy, and a little bit of magic to every wedding he photographs. He describes the wedding day as something almost enchanted — “A wedding day is magic! And I feel like a wizard, capturing love, emotion, and happiness through the lens of my camera.” That sense of wonder is the foundation of his work, shaping a style that feels heartfelt, dynamic, and beautifully true to the day.
His approach blends two worlds: the spontaneity of reportage and the elegance of crafted portraits. “I combine reportage and staged photography. In my opinion, this is the ideal combination that allows my clients to achieve the results they dream of.” This balance gives couples the best of both — honest, candid emotion alongside refined, editorial-worthy moments.
GOBIG Maldives Studio
GOBIG Maldives Studio focuses on turning Maldivian weddings into polished, emotionally rich visual stories. Their photography leans into a modern, editorial look while still feeling warm and real — think clean compositions, flattering light, and a strong sense of atmosphere rather than stiff posing. They move easily between sweeping decor shots, intimate portraits, and candid moments on the dance floor, making sure the full story of the day is captured, not just the “perfect” frames.
