These moments are rare—opportunities to celebrate love in its most grand and beautiful form. From the genuine smiles and spontaneous laughter to the subtle,

 fleeting exchanges, my focus is on capturing the essence of your significant day in the most authentic way. Let’s craft images that not only reflect your love but also embody the elegance and emotion in every detail of your day, ensuring that your memories are preserved in a way that you'll cherish forever.

THE STORYTELLER:

Photos should capture who we are—the small smiles, the fleeting moments when you catch someone's eye, the deep belly laughs. These are the genuine moments that we wish could last forever. Photography shouldn’t be about posing or creating fabricated scenes; the true magic lies in its authenticity. I love when clients come to me nervous because they’ve never been professionally photographed before, only to leave our session filled with joy, remarking on how fun and easy it was. My aim is always to capture authentic photos, and the key to this is helping my clients feel confident and comfortable. Through my prompts and direction, I create an atmosphere that allows their true selves to shine through, ensuring that the moments we capture together are not just intentionally seen, but deeply felt.

I've always had a passion for capturing stories, perhaps because I believe that photographs have a unique way of seizing the emotions of a moment. It's the simplicity that captivates me—the way a single image can encapsulate the happiness, love, or sheer joy someone is experiencing, freezing it in time forever; this is what truly draws me in.

TRAVEL DATES

As someone who grew up traveling and used to work for the airline, traveling has been something that has grounded me; like it was something I was always meant to do. I love being able to see different places in the world and to meet different people; experiencing where my clients grew up or where their family is from. The opportunity to see the world and capture a day filled with so much love and joy is why I’m constantly reminded of why I started photography in the first place.
