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 exploring the nature around us. Hikes may look a little different now with two kiddos in tow, but we still get outside as often as we can. This year, we’re hoping to spend more time by the river, fishing together and slowing down to just enjoy the fresh air and each other’s company.

At home, you’ll usually find Chee La outside working in the yard or tinkering with his pride and joy—his collection of Celicas (yep, more than one!). Meanwhile, I’m most likely in the kitchen cooking up something new—food is definitely my love language.

When we have a quiet moment, we’re big fans of doing absolutely nothing. Just being at home, relaxing, and rewatching our favorite comfort shows like Full Metal Alchemist, The Office, and Scrubs.

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

why you should pick us to capture your memories!

We truly believe that photos are treasures you can hold onto forever. We would be honored to capture your story. We’re all about laughter and want your session to be a fun, rewarding experience. Whether it means hiking to a stunning location for that perfect shot or getting a little (or a lot!) dirty, we’re in it with you.

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
