It’s us – Mai See and Chee La (My-C and Chi-La). We’re a husband-and-wife photography team based in Berlin, WI. If you’re here, it means you’re curious to get to know us—and we’re so glad you’re taking the time to do that!

First off, we’re hopeless romantics. We met during our first year at university and quickly became college sweethearts (and yes, our first boy/girlfriend relationship too!). We believe in true love—the kind that makes you feel like the luckiest person alive, the kind that fills your heart with joy and happiness. We’re not shy about it—we’re sappy, and we absolutely believe that everyone deserves to experience that kind of love.

We’re all about adventures! Whether it’s hiking through the mountains, swimming in the ocean, exploring centuries-old buildings, or indulging in street food from all corners of the world, we’re always up for something new. Our love for travel and photography began with our first overseas trip to Japan. Armed with nothing but a tiny point-and-shoot camera, we fell head over heels for the stunning scenery, delicious food, and rich culture—and that’s when our photography journey began.

Over the years, we’ve collected countless irreplaceable photos from around the globe, each one holding a special memory. We’re still passionate about travel and are always dreaming of new places to visit in the future!

we love adventures!

While traveling is always exciting, there’s something truly special about coming home to our quiet little spot in the country. These days, our lives are beautifully full, chasing after our two little ones and soaking in every sweet, chaotic, joy-filled moment. We always knew we wanted to be parents, but nothing could have prepared us for just how much joy and meaning it would bring. It’s the biggest blessing to experience life through their curious little eyes.

As a family, we love getting outside and exploring the nature around us. This year, we took Kai on his first cabin trip up north, and he absolutely loved it. We also went on our first family camping trip, and somehow, despite the extra gear, snacks, and chaos that come with two little kids, we had the best time. The kids loved every minute of it, and we’re already looking forward to more little adventures together.

At home, Chee La is usually up early sneaking in some fishing whenever he can. It’s easily his favorite pastime. When he’s not out on the water, you’ll find him doing yardwork or tinkering with his beloved collection of Celicas (yes, there’s more than one). I’m most often in the kitchen cooking something new because food is absolutely my love language. And when we have a quiet evening, we’re happiest doing very little at all, rewatching our favorite comfort shows and just being together.

so what do we do when we're not taking photos or traveling?

why you should pick us to capture your memories!

We believe photographs are more than images—they’re memories you’ll carry for a lifetime. Our approach is intentional yet relaxed, refined yet playful, always rooted in love. We want your experience to feel easy, joyful, and true to who you are, while creating imagery that feels timeless and elevated.

If that sounds like your vibe, send us a message! We serve the areas surrounding Berlin, Oshkosh, and Appleton—but traveling is one of our favorite things, so we’d love to capture your photos no matter where you are.

Cheers,
Mai See & Chee La
