Before establishing Namora Pictures in 2011, Andry Dilindra had been a commercial photographer for years. "I did a lot of advertising work for major brands but at one point, I got bored and wanted a new challenge," said Andry. He then branched out to wedding photography, starting with a pre-wedding project for a friend. "Soon after, I took the chance of joining a wedding fair although I didn't have an extensive portfolio at that point," he continued.
Along with his wife, Andry strives to offer photography services that can be enjoyed by every part of society. "Aside from being the co-founder of our company, my wife is my partner-slash-assistant and biggest supporter," explained Andry. Their journey didn't always run smoothly, however, as the wedding industry has a set of tough challenges. "Despite having taken photos professionally since 1999, I lacked experience in the industry. It took a lot of patience to introduce our brand and also to recruit new people who shared our vision," he added.
Despite the difficulties, Namora Pictures has been growing steadily thanks to the digital age. "It's so much easier to show our work these days. Joining wedding portals, such as Bridestory, allowed us to meet prospective clients from different backgrounds," said Andry. In the end, the hard work is paid off whenever Andry and his team can capture moments that will last a lifetime. "One day, we were taking photos of a client's second wedding. When the client was 'asking for permission' from the son from the previous marriage, everyone was so touched. Even I couldn't hold back my tears!" he reminisced.
