Who’s behind the camera?
Hey! I am Zurich Shah - Designer by heart, photographer by passion, and founding storyteller of Papertales Studio, born in 2015 from a simple belief: every love story deserves to be a work of art. Been around the globe, experiencing vibrant cultures and armed with a love for quirky details, we see your wedding through a lens where life’s little moments matter most- because that’s where real stories are hiding.
At Papertales, we don’t believe in chasing trends for social media. We’re all about timelessness- from joy-filled tears and unspoken glances to those giggles, including inside jokes only your family understands.
Our aim? Snap those blink-and-you-miss-it emotions so you get decades of wide smiles every time you revisit your memories. Having captured 250+ weddings, we believe every wedding is a reunion of three generations- each with their own flavour of love, and every one is essential to your story. So we strive to craft images where grandparents, parents and the newest hearts can see themselves and beam with pride. That’s what “family” means to us. So, if you’re looking for a little less “lights, camera, pose” and a lot more genuine storytelling, Papertales Studio is your tribe.
