Photography for lighthearted, experience-focused couples
The main goal? To tell a fun, artistic version of your favorite day.
You deserve to see how your event feels: unique, alive, and filled with its own vibrant personality. You deserve to see it through the most romanticized lens possible.
The personality of a wedding is intangible - but half the magic comes from trying to show it anyway. How do you photograph energy? How do you show the joy of being surrounded by loved ones, the giddiness of being almost-married, the relief when you change out of your heels at the end of the night?
You just have to enjoy paying attention to people.
“You have so much passion for this work that it’s almost annoying!”
— A very well-meaning wedding guest.
(He wasn’t wrong, though)

Wtih a background in fine art and chemistry, my goal was always to work in museums as an art conservator. Back in the day, my only objective was to combine my love of experimentation with the art world — see where this is going?
I spent a few years working in a large art museum, but being around the art every single day just made me want to create more.
I spent my free hours learning everything I could about combining photography and illustration (my other true love), and started getting more entrenched in the photo world. Until, one magical day, I photographed my first wedding.
There was no turning back for me.

1. Because, at my core, I'm a huge romantic. Always have been, always will be (but please don't tell anyone, it could completely ruin my Fun and Cool image).
While you won’t find any sappy-sweet statements or overly flowery descriptors, I'm still a total sucker for human connection of any sort. There's a special way this type of energy comes out at weddings, and I genuinely cannot get enough of it.
2. Chaos (the good kind). I love that each wedding has its own special and unpredictable journey. Part of the fun is getting to witness (and retell) the unplanned parts of the day.

I drink an obscene amount of hot chocolate, year-round. It’s the first drink I get any time I travel, and I even have a large container with a custom mix.
I’m an obsessive collector of antique lamps and bronze sculptures (don’t get me started on my collection). I’m constantly hunting through auction sites, markets, and estate sales for my next find.
The 2005 adaptation of “Pride & Prejudice” is my absolute favorite movie of all time, ever. If ever there was a movie that I could quote from start to finish, it’s this one.
I’m an avid traveler and have been to 21 countries so far. My husband and I often base our trips around food alone, from Michelin restaurants to hidden stalls! My favorite food experiences have been in Singapore, Thailand, Mexico, Italy, and Czechia (but don’t worry - I’ll eat anywhere).
