Makoto Chiba Photography

Makoto Chiba Photography is a Turku-based wedding photography service specializing in capturing weddings with a blend of documentary sensitivity and a fashion-portrait visual eye. My goal is to preserve the genuine, spontaneous moments that make each wedding day uniquely yours. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? I approach weddings first and foremost as human stories — focusing on emotions, details, and the natural moments that arise from the flow of the day. At the same time, my fashion-influenced aesthetic ensures the final gallery works as a cohesive visual series: careful composition, light and mood are considered in every frame. My working style is calm and unobtrusive. I strive to create a trusting atmosphere where you, your partner and your guests can be present without excessive posing. I also take care of the practical side: thorough preparation, a discussion of wishes and key moments beforehand, and on the wedding day I move with the events to capture both the big emotions and the small details — from the bouquet to the final dance. In engagement and pre-wedding sessions I build the shoot in a relaxed way so the couple can unwind and express their relationship naturally. These images often become the best previews, reflecting your personal connection and offering a beautiful foretaste of the wedding day’s mood. In post-processing I place strong emphasis on quality and a consistent look: colors and contrast are refined so the series feels timeless yet true to you. I work throughout the Turku area and surrounding regions, and every wedding project begins with a personal conversation in which I listen to your wishes and design a photography experience that fits you. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who values authenticity, aesthetic quality and careful workmanship, please get in touch — let’s create a photo series that tells your story in a way you’ll want to revisit again and again.
