Ilumina Studios

We are a team of passionate photographers dedicated to capturing life's most precious moments. Our story began with a passion for skateboarding and photography, which led our founder, Carsten Schertzer, to drop out of high school and pursue his dream. After years of struggle and perseverance, Carsten turned his focus to wedding photography, using his skateboarding portfolio as a reference. Today, he is a renowned wedding photographer, having traveled to 16 countries across four continents to capture over 120 weddings.
