Manifesto
Everyone deserves to fall in love with their wedding photos. I believe that a story is best shared candidly. I allow your wedding events to unfold in a natural way—while I anticipate the right moment; and make sure everyone looks their absolute best when the shutter clicks. I observe the light, search for compositional geometry, then guide my couples through movement to infuse each shot with expression and refined glamour. 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 those carefully planned shots are part of their wedding gallery, set amongst the beautifully unstaged frames that carry so much meaning for them and their families.
“I’m here to help you preserve all your wedding memories in an honest, meaningful and elegant way.”
