Ilina & James are some of the coolest people, ever! Their story is awesome, both originally from other countries, Scotland & Russia, but happened to meet while living in Chicago and now living their dream life here in Amsterdam. They originally met while enjoying a DJ and, in Ilina’s words, she saw him across the room and grabbed him. I’m so glad she’s never let him go cause they are perfect together!
They are crazy about each other and love being in your presence. They enjoy spending time together at local cafés, reading their favourite magazines, listening to new djs and upcoming music, as well as walking around beautiful Amsterdam.
So that is exactly what we captured: them doing what they love most, together! Thank you Ilina & James for grabbing onto each other and never letting go.

















Special thanks to Concerto and Brug34 for letting us photograph in your space!
