The Story Behind Nomad Heritage Weddings

We’re Nina and Ari — the creative duo behind Nomad Heritage Weddings.

For us, this isn’t just about photos and films. It’s about people, stories, and the kind of love that makes life feel full.

Our Story

We met through friends while finishing university — Ari studying film, and Nina completing a degree in music composition. From the beginning, creativity was at the centre of our connection. Nina was taking behind-the-scenes photos on the set of Ari’s short film, while Ari was filming live performances of Nina’s music.

What started as two artists collaborating soon grew into something more — a shared love for creating, exploring, and finding beauty in the ordinary. Through lockdowns, road trips, and long nights dreaming up our next adventure, we realised that our love for art mirrored our love for each other: honest, evolving, and deeply human.

Nomad Heritage became the natural next step — a way to bring our passions together and tell stories that feel like home. For us, it’s more than photography and film. It’s about preserving what love feels like — the laughter, the quiet, the spark that started it all.

Our Background

Nina’s journey began long before weddings — at age 11, camera in hand, capturing her family’s travels across Europe. Growing up in Russia surrounded by traditional art and culture, she developed a deep appreciation for emotion, beauty, and storytelling through imagery. Her photography style blends that timeless artistic influence with a candid, modern touch.

Ari comes from a background in film — with a Bachelor’s degree in Cinematography, he spent years creating short films before turning his focus to weddings. His approach brings a cinematic quality to every story, pairing technical precision with heartfelt narrative.

Together, our work is a collaboration of vision and emotion — one that celebrates both the artistry and authenticity of your story.

What We Believe

We believe that great imagery is more than beautiful composition — it’s a reflection of trust, care, and connection. We take time to understand who you are, how you love, and what this day means to you.

Every story is different, and that’s what we love most. Whether your wedding is grand or intimate, we’re here to create something that feels like you — timeless, emotional, and real.

Gold Coast by home, nomads at heart

We’re based on the Gold Coast, but our hearts are always chasing new places and stories. From sunlit coastlines to quiet country escapes, we follow love wherever it leads — capturing the moments that make each story your own.

If you feel that spark, let’s start creating something beautiful together.
