ALL ABOUT Nandini & Jay

We met on a project.

The hearts (and eyes!) behind Timeless Tales Creatives

Now we capture the moments
that matter most.

A project brought us both to the JW Marriott Edmonton, a venue we now photograph weddings at and that is where our story began. We did not plan any of this. We just kept showing up to the same job, and somewhere along the way, we found each other.

6+

Years together as a couple

2

Cultures, one shared vision

Weddings still to witness

We were colleagues first. Two people put on a same work project, working long days together.

Jay had always had a camera. Photography was never just a hobby for him, it was the way he saw the world. But he had never pursued it professionally. Nandini noticed. She saw his photographs and asked him a question that changed both of their lives: "Why aren't you doing this professionally?"

Nandini had no photography experience at the time. None. But together they built the now Timeless Tales Creatives.

How we Began

From a shared project to Our love story

We are opposites in the best possible way. Nandini keeps the energy high, manages all communication and makes everyone in the room feel seen and celebrated. Jay moves quietly through that same room observing, waiting, capturing the things that happen when people forget there is a camera.

There is no lead photographer or no second shooter concept. We play to our strengths. We photograph your day from two completely different perspectives without ever feeling like a crew because after 6+ years together, we know each other's instincts completely.

No lead, no second.
Two photographers, one vision.

Choosing our wedding photographers was like hitting the jackpot! Nandini & Jay were more than just brilliant, they were the superhero duo of our big day. From the initial stages of planning to the final clicks, they not only went the extra mile but practically sprinted a marathon for us.

They are not only photographers but also assist with wedding timelines and calming nerves!
I had lots of comments from friends and family telling me how wonderful and considerate they were during the wedding.

Our second favorite thing to do

Nandini loves traveling and Jay a home body. Somehow we find the balance. Wherever we go, we always end up bringing our cameras along. There’s something fun about getting lost in a new city and capturing those everyday street moments.

Born and raised in the Philippines, Jay’s love for photography began as a playful competition with his sister and quickly grew into a lifelong passion. His early inspiration came from the raw beauty of street photography where every corner holds a deeper story.

On a wedding day, Jay has a quiet gift for noticing what others might miss. A shared glance. A proud tear. The way your hands find each other in the middle of all the celebration. He’s always looking for the story within the story.

Jay will make sure your final gallery is filled with beautifully edited images that feel like you. These aren’t just photos for your wedding album or your walls, they are memories, captured with heart and intention.
