Photographer. Philosopher. Finder of light in every room she enters.
Yuki is a wedding photographer documenting love through a tranquil, ethereal, and luminous lens. She has been photographing since 2014, with work featured in publications including British Vogue, Tatler, Vanity Fair, and Glamour.
Her approach is inspired by glimmering light, quiet emotion, and the beauty of what is fleeting. Rooted in a wabi sabi and Japandi sensibility, she is drawn to soft, authentic moments that feel honest and deeply felt.
Amaire & Co. was born in Edmonton, Alberta, a city Yuki has always called home. In 2027, the business will be transitioning to Vancouver, British Columbia and will be based in BC.
Amaire is not a dictionary word, but meaning does not only live in dictionaries. It lives in sound, in root, in the way a word feels in the mouth and the mind. And Amaire is quietly full of meaning for anyone who looks.
From French and Latin roots, aimer in French means to love. Amare in Latin carries the same weight: to love, to cherish, to hold with care. Amaire sits between these two words like a bridge, neither one nor the other, but carrying both. A made word that sounds like it has always existed, because the feeling it holds has.
From sound alone, Amaire is soft, unhurried, and luminous. It does not end sharply. It opens and trails gently: the way light does at the end of an afternoon, the way a held breath releases, and the way the most important moments of a life tend to feel.
Amaire & Co. is a Vancouver luxury wedding photography brand rooted in the Japanese philosophies of wabi sabi, komorebi, and shinrin yoku. We photograph a small number of weddings each year across British Columbia and beyond, working eloquently with light, guided by the belief that the most beautiful image is always the most authentic one.
We move slowly. We disturb nothing. We watch for the moments that cannot be staged, and we are always quietly there for them.
The & Co. is for the light, the world, and the two of you.
