Sancii are documentary wedding photographers specializing in capturing intimate and unfiltered moments for modern couples. Based in Seattle, they travel globally to document these cherished moments. The team is composed of a husband and wife duo, with Michelle serving as the primary photographer and Sean handling various aspects of their work. The name "Sancii" originates from Michelle's maiden name, Sanchie, with the two 'i's representing the two individuals, and the dot above them resembling their heads, symbolizing their deep passion for preserving the connection between couples.
Their love extends beyond weddings to a genuine appreciation for the institution of marriage. Whether it's amidst the Swiss mountains, the jungles of Bali, or the bustling streets of Chicago, couples entrust Sancii to capture emotions and share an authentic narrative of their special day. The duo hopes that the photos they capture will serve as a lasting reminder of the love and commitment shared at the outset of each couple's journey.
Their style is documentary, characterized by a preference for capturing moments as they naturally unfold, with a commitment to conveying an authentic narrative of the day. Each time they embark on a photography session, their primary focus revolves around four key elements: light (recognizing that photography is fundamentally about the art of capturing light, they pay careful attention to lighting conditions to create compelling images), emotions (emotions take center stage in their photographic work, with a deep emphasis on capturing the emotional essence of their subjects), authenticity (they cultivate a safe and welcoming space for the couples they work with, encouraging them to express themselves genuinely and unapologetically in front of the camera), tension (they artfully balance contrasting elements such as tradition and modernity, light and dark, old and new, infusing their work with a sense of tension and intrigue).
Their photographic style is characterized by a modern, clean, and contrasting aesthetic, reflecting their artistic preferences.
