Philosophy
Everyone deserves to fall in love with their wedding photos. I believe that a story is best shared candidly. The secret is to create each frame with a fresh perspective drawn from the current narrative—each couple is unique, and has their own story to tell. I take the time to get to know my clients, observe their dynamic, and understand how they express what they care about the most. Then, I make sure that those beautifully unstaged frames that carry so much meaning for them and their families are part of their wedding gallery. I allow the wedding events to unfold in a natural way—while I anticipate the right moment, and make sure the lighting and composition are beautiful. I look for subtle gesture, movement and natural expression while balancing the light and compositional geometry in the moment. Each resulting shot is infused with expression and understated, refined glamour.
“I’m here to help you preserve all your wedding memories in an honest, meaningful and elegant way.”
