Te Dua Weddings
[tˈiː dˈuːə wˈɛdɪŋz]
Real Emotions. Real Love. Real Stories.
We named our company Te Dua Weddings as a way to represent our love for people and cultures. Te Dua means I love you in Albanian, which is Enea’s birth country. Both of us have traveled all over the world, but one thing we love best about living in the US — and more specifically, Northern California — is the amount of diversity we experience every day. Every wedding we capture introduces us to new cultures, new ideas, and new ways to say I love you.
As Napa and Bay Area Wedding Photographers and Videographers, we have been lucky enough to experience hundreds of beautiful weddings, and yet, somehow, we still seem to see something new at every single wedding. We want every single couple to feel that uniqueness reflected in their album or video and we want every couple to feel like they get to be fully present at their wedding — not like they are at a photo shoot.
While we might say Te Dua, the best part of shooting wedding is that people don’t always have to say I love you. It can be seen, felt, and heard in the touch of a hand, the glance of the eyes, and the happy tears that fall. Photography and videography should fit seamlessly in you day, but should allow you to revisit those memories for ever.

Enea Strora
I have been living in the US since 2020 but have been shooting far before I moved. After four years of Hayley traveling back and forth t0 Europe, we decided I should travel stateside and begin our business together in the US. From Boston, we moved to the Napa Area and began to call this place home.
I have always loved capturing stills and videos of people, and weddings are such a great place to capture so many different emotions and real passion from people — and sometimes I think it is one of the few places that people truly get to say what is on their heart.
I try to bring engery and brightness to every wedding I shoot at, because after all, I am a guest too! I feel like a make friends at every wedding attend and I hope to continue to bring the same joy and excitement to every event I am lucky enough to capture.
Hayley Perry
Me and Enea met in France. That is when we started dating — and the first place I got in front of a camera! Our passion for photography and videography started by shooting ourselves as we traveled around Europe together. A few years down the line, Enea was asked to shoot a wedding for a friend in Greece, and that is when he asked me to help him. That wedding showed us that our passion was capturing moments, not just for ourselves but for other people.
After my trips to Europe, I lived in the US to continue my studies, but when Enea moved to the States and we moved to Napa, we got back to doing what we loved to do best together — capturing moments together.
Now I can confidently direct and help guide couples into capturing their unique energy, even if it is their first time in front of a camera. I know because I have been there! I try to ease the couples mind during the shoot by keeping my eyes on the small things — is the ring straight? Lipstick on the teeth? Is the hair perfect?
Don’t worry. I got you.
