I believe weddings should be documented with love, intent, and thrive off freshness. There are so many destinations and even more details to inspire our big events in life. Taking my time and spending the entire day with you, to prep and capture everything that makes your souls dance brings me the utmost joy. For me, even the most frenzied of moments can give a chance to slow down, creating a contemplative image collection and a soothing ambiance in between your non-stop movement. Always true to who you are, the smart, the vibrant and the beautiful in people, I photograph to give you one of the most powerful means to break silence. All the tales of your world narrated not with words , but with images.

The stories I capture are ones that nourish the soul for years to come. What is the point of having a collection of photos stacked in a disk if you cannot revisit them time and over again. I aim to produce honest, joyful imagery you can enjoy without ever tiring so, to hang it on your walls, to share with your family and friends, to go page after page on your albums, and carry with you at all times. My approach is holistic, which means you will not settle for a set of poses or stills. Life is so artful in its ways and so should be your images. The captivating joy of the ordinary, the organic flow of moving instances, both big and small, my goal will always be to create something personal and genuine for you

Real life is my goal. Visual optimism is my drive. If you wear your hearts on your sleeves you’re my absolute favorites. I have a personal connection to both my work and the people I document for, sharing their interactions is precious as are their journeys. Exchanges of love, of kindness and patience are what we wish to remember. And is there anything more beautiful than the reality of it all? Reality does not always mean the blunt, or the constantly spinning. It is also about the slow, the art, the culture and the couture of people and things, the simple, and the organic. You are shakers, you are doers, you are movers, you are dreamers. Guess what, we’ll make quite a pair!

Along the course of capturing weddings and events, I have had the opportunity to meet and bond with brides, mothers, daughters, grandmothers, sisters, friends, entrepreneurs, talents, women with a point of view, confidence, femininity, beautiful, strong, incredible women. Brides and bridesmaids, family makers, family gatherers, ambitious, power players, who have been and are creating big things for themselves and everyone around them. I’m humbled by the experience to honor their style, their personalities, and the courage of being present, and putting it all out there
