Kurtahs Studio is truly one of the best in the business when it comes to destination pre-wedding and wedding day photography. They was able to capture the art of beauty and romance of our special day in a way that we never thought possible. Their unique blend of candid and storytelling photography truly captured the essence of our special day. From the stunning scenery and natural elements to the candid moments, Kurtahs Studio was able to expertly incorporate it all into the shots, making for truly breathtaking photos.
Their attention to detail and understanding of our vision for the perfect wedding photos was truly impressive. As a perfectionist, I was able to relax and enjoy my special day knowing that Kurtahs Studio was capturing all of the important moments. The final product exceeded our expectations and we will treasure the memories that they captured for a lifetime.

We enjoyed having the family photo session with Kurt. We've known him for 10 years! From maternity shots to 3 other family shots in the span of 10 years. Love his creativity and artistic shots, telling stories of our life. It is a small coffee shop with limited space but he managed to shoot so many designs. It is important to feel comfortable in front of your photographer especially when we have three boys in the family and Kurt made them feel at ease. He gives simple instructions and yet we have space to be ourselves.

We had an amazing day with Kurt in Vietnam shooting in a traditional Vietnamese river boat and also shooting an intimate couples shoot which is something new for my partner & I.
He gave great direction but also gave us space to just be us and we think that he captured “us” in a very beautiful and honest way.
We would highly recommend arranging a shoot with him as it was such a fun experience but also the finished product is something that we are so happy with and love sharing with everyone we meet.
Thank you Kurtahs Studio and we hope that we can shoot again soon somewhere else on this beautiful planet!

As a perfectionist, letting go of control was a big challenge I faced during this pandemic let alone organising and planning my wedding day. I’d imagine myself taking months to plan it and dictate over everything but little did I know God had other things planned for me. I had little control over so many things because we planned this wedding over a mere 24-48 hours due to the impending lockdown. It has been almost a month since our big day which was a very intimate ceremony with loved ones at home. I’d describe my wedding to be an epitome of jigsaw falling into place. With strict SOPs, limited time and innumerable uncertainties, Kurtahs Studio was able to capture all the stills that I‘m certain has that magic to take us back to the exact precious moment for us to reminisce on when we grow old and grey. I’d like to extend my sincerest gratitude to Kurt for taking up the challenge to be our photographer within 12 hours notice. He dropped his weekend plans and even though I know as a perfectionist himself he would have studied his client well before taking up the job, however he was able to deliver his artwork as though he had known our story for a long time. I’m so glad I was able to let him do his thing and just let go, be myself and live in the moment. I’m a firm believer that there are no coincidences in this life. Everything has been well orchestrated by our Creator and I’m most grateful to be able to experience that. They were able to capture all that and I could even feel the love that was radiated on that day which is especially precious to us during tough times like this pandemic when it’s often harder to feel love. Once again thank you Kurt and team for delivering those beautiful photos to us promptly and thoughtfully!

Every once in awhile, we see something that really gets to us. It’s tremendous awesome, and maybe a little bit of envy. But still, it’s a whole lot of beauty, at such gorgeous destinations, that made us want to wrap ourselves in it for the day.
And how’s this for romantic?! A stunning bride and groom, the oh-so-lovely streets of Santorini + Venice, and layers upon layers of flowy goodness in the form of LaBelle Couture gowns that will take your breath away. This captivating Europe elopement is all about the sweet love and with "Kurtahs Studio" filling the gallery with image after image of wedding bliss, trust us, there’s not a single moment that isn’t downright fabulous.
So, gorgeous destinations + beautiful images + “We’re on vacation!” vibe = a great mix !
“We chanced upon the photographer while surfing the net for destination photographers. What drew us to Kurt Ahs was their naturalistic, contemporary style and seemingly minimal editing. Yet he is still able to churn out lovely pictures that say a thousand words.
The overseas photo shoot was definitely worth paying for and it was a trip of our lifetime. From lugging and stuffing all those heavy gowns which we rented from LaBelle Couture to waking up in the wee hours of the morning just to do my own hairdo and make up =p. We had a great experience! And to top it off, it was not only 1 location, but 2… we flew from Santorini to Venice for our second shoot!”

คุณ Kurtahs Studio ถ่ายรูปสวยมากค่ะมีสไตล์กับมุมมองที่ไม่ซ้ำไคร เพื่อนๆ ที่เห็นรูปทุกคนชมว่ารูปแต่งงานของเราสวย มันไม่ใช่เป็นแบบรูปถ่ายทั่วไป แต่มันเป็นรูปถ่ายที่สามารถเล่าเรื่องได้และแต่ละรูปเรามีความรู้สึกกับมันด้วย
เราได้เปิดดูรูปอื่นๆของคุณ Kurt. ที่ถ่ายในสถานที่อื่นๆ แล้วชอบ แต่ตอนแรกก็ไม่แน่ใจว่า งานเราจะออกมาดีมั้ย เพราะงานเราจัดแบบพิธีไทย ซึ่งทางคุณ kurt พึ่งเคยถ่ายพิธีแนวนี้ แต่พอได้เห็นภาพ ประทับใจจริงๆค่ะ เราไม่น่าจะพะวงเลยด้วยซ้ำ เพราะตอนนี้เรามั้นใจว่า ไม่ว่าจะเป็นสถานที่แบบไหนคุณ Kurt ก็สามารถถ่ายรูปที่สื่ออารมณ์ของคู่รักออกมาเป็นงานศิลปะได้ดีเลยค่ะ
#ขอบคุณอีกครั้งนะคะ ^^.

新郎が日本人で新婦がマレーシア人の国際結婚カップルです。
プレウェディング、結婚式/披露宴ともお世話になりました。
人生で一大事なイベントの写真だけは、きれいに残したい！と思い、色々リサーチしたところ、Kurtahs Studio さんに出会いました。
メークからウェディングドレス、ドールみたいにされて、撮影！すっかりモデル気分でした（＾＾；
初めての体験で、とても楽しかった。
時間の余裕がなかっため、あこがれの海や郊外までいけず、スタジオ内と近くの公園で撮影のコースでした。
おかげさまで、とてもきれいで幸せそうな写真ができました☆

Kurtahs Studio’s work are alternative from other typical. We love how they captures moments during our wedding-intimate moments, blessed heartfelt moments to name a few. We could’t be happier at how the wedding pictures turned out. It was spectacular-everything we dream of and more. If you are looking for non cliche wedding photos, they are your best bet. Thank you Kurtahs Studio team!

“Kurt Ahs is amazing, he is not your mainstream photographer! Our session in Prague were just like taking a holiday with a friend who happens to be extremely good at taking photos!
Laviana and I thoroughly enjoyed our journey in Europe with Kurt and we are not just taking back the photos with us, but it’s also the friendship that we have developed with Kurt.
Photography is one of my hobbies as well and I did take my time in looking for the best person to take my pre-wedding shoots. I fell in love with how Kurt’s spontaneous creativity combined with his eye for details turn our wonderful moments into a beautiful artworks. If we have to do our pre-wedding shoots all over again, Kurt will definitely tops the list once again”.

In the silence of Hokkaido, there is romance
[ A journey with Kurt Ahs ]
“Hokkaido, the northernmost – and least developed – of Japan’s four main islands is one of the country’s last wild places. I have found Hokkaido to be particularly intriguing – gently seductive, dangerously wild and hopeless romantic. This is where Fan Lee and I had our pre-wedding photography, and our endless romance reflected by Kurt Ahs’s inspiration that he has found there.
There is something mysterious but alluring in the winter Hokkaido landscape. It is visually manifested in the omnipresent interaction snow and earth, and the constantly changing weather and skies. Snow falls, rain drops, and it can be felt in the engaging intimacy of the scale in the unique terrain. There is reverence toward the land, symbolized by the ubiquitous Lake of Kussharo. Furano is often an integral part of the landscape – places to rest, medicate, and perhaps escape the complications and noise of our fast-paced lives. The spectacular night view of Hakodate is deemed to be one of the top three in the world, alongside Hong Kong and Naples.
Till then, Kurt is one of the few Asian photographers I knew (probably the only and one in Malaysia) who extending overseas photo shoot to a winter Hokkaido. And, he did twice! We were both quite nervous about being photographed under such an extreme climate just in between -20°C to -34°C, with only thin gown and suit. Teeth chattered, bodies shivered, we had tendencies to either pull rictus grins or look away whenever a camera was being pointed at us. We were struggled to open our eyes because of merciless iced wind.
Prior on that, we suffered in choosing and lugging the winter cloths and heavy gowns, while Fan Lee had to wake up in the wee hours for her own D.I.Y. make up and hairdo, where it was probably not professionally done. It was a great experience driving with Kurt Ahs from Kussharo to Hakodate with more than 900-km. We encountered a winter storm, packing with heavy snow and gusty winds at speeds of about 30 mph. Most relentless, we were asked to hop-off from the car, and we did few shots at this circumstance. It was -34°C!
Indeed, we invested to a photographer and locations that given us incredible returns. Kurt Ahs was brilliant at being very professional but unobtrusive. The result is a beautiful collection of photographs and seeing the photos makes us feel like we’re re-living the day all over again! We were both really impressed and grateful for how hard he worked especially under the extreme cold weather and the deliverables are above what we would have expected.”

"it was by sheer fate that we happened to see kurtahs Studio's artwork via Facebook. Instantly, we knew we wanted Kurt to be our photographer in New Zealand for autumn!
His style of photography, the way he was able to capture the natural moment of romance attracted me right away. from the start i knew i never wanted an engagement photo-shoot in pristine style. I mean, every photographer could do that. it was the way he was able to capture the right moment against the most beautiful backdrop which i knew i did the absolute right decision in engaging Kurt. in fact, I'm a little camera shy, but Kurt was very patient & experience to guide us with our posture and choosing the ideal background. It may not seemed difficult, but it the goods eyes of the photographer does make the difference.
After receiving our photos, many of our friends commended on it! The best choice I've made!
Cheers and keep it up Kurt !"

[ 非一般感覺的婚紗照 ]
這簡單的詞就是我對 Kurtahs Studio 所拍出來婚紗照的感覺。
初始本來打算找傳統婚紗攝影公司來拍攝我們的婚紗照，可是機緣巧合朋友介紹之下讓我們碰見了他们的專業作品，很明顯帶有非一般感覺又有獨特風格的婚紗照，新郎新娘穿著很一般很簡單的禮服可是卻能拍出一幅又一幅很有感覺的照片。
韓國之旅咱們一夥都是第一次拜訪，初始我都會擔心在人生路不熟的情況下要如何拍出好的照片呢？
原來我們的擔心是多餘的，這就是 Kurt 的強項，他總是有辦法在陌生的地方邊走邊拍的情況下找出恰當和適當的地方時刻拍出令人稱職完美的照片。
他令人稱讚的地方還有在攝氏十度以下加上穿著沒什麼保暖的情況下我們這對新人其實都顯得特別累，可是他就有辦法把我們的笑容拍的特別燦爛和自然。
在拍攝的時候我們都會覺得「這樣的角度拍好看嚒？」「這樣的地方有什麼特別」「這樣的笑容好像很怪」之類種種的問題在我們的腦海徘徊。可是當他遞上給我們看效果時我們都會有那種很WOW的感覺！
整個拍攝過程我們都很樂在其中，當我們感覺很累很冷的時候他總有辦法讓我們笑起來, 多謝 !

We take our pre-wedding photo as a photojournalism of our 6 years relationship as well as a celebration of stepping into a new chapter of life. We didn’t have any idea where to go for photo-shooting but we both were determined to have Kurtahs Studio as our engagement session portrait ( pre-wedding ) photographer.
Kurt Ahs is good in revealing the intimacy and capturing the snippet of loving between the couple. You do not need to have flattering gown or perfect face, as he could always find the best angle of you, creating a flawless and ever-lasting memory. We enjoyed the shooting with Kurt, he was really friendly and have a sense of humor that made the whole shooting process relax and joyous.
The outcomes? I am sure I do not need to say much of it, everyone was speaking highly of it, we love it and proudly to have such a wonderful pre-wedding photos.

I was browsing through Kurtahs Studio's wedding photography works, and I fell in love instantly. Shihao and I have always wanted to have an unique, exotic, yet romantic theme of engagement session photography.
Kurt Ahs is absolutely professional, he just seemed to know what we were thinking and suggested, "I am planning for an INDIA road trip shoot, do you want to consider that?"
It would definitely be a "yes!". Thus, we headed to the Land of Colours, to the Land of our Dreams 6 months after. Although that was Kurt's first INDIA assignment, he knew perfectly what to do, and guided us along.
Never crossed our minds that the photography trip could be so fun and also relaxing! We loved everything about our photography journey with Kurt! He is amazingly talented, and had successful captured all the perfect moments.
Sometimes we look back at our pre-wedding photos, we realise that it never fails to put a smile on our faces and it never fails to make our heart beat a little faster, and lastly, it never fails to remind us to fall in love with each other again!
