Behind The Brand

What draws you to wedding photography?

Weddings are where emotion meets aesthetic — a rare space where beauty, meaning, and storytelling collide. I’m endlessly drawn to the fashion, the design, the intentional details, as well as the fleeting in-between moments that can’t be staged. Weddings to me are a culmination of all of these favorite details of mine that I love to capture. It’s an honor to witness people at their most present and loved, and to translate that energy into images that feel like art — personal, elevated, and unforgettable.

How would you describe your photography style?

My photography style is editorial, emotive, and fashion-forward. I’m drawn to images that feel alive — that balance intentional composition with genuine, unfiltered moments and emotion. Think Vogue-inspired sophistication layered with movement, intimacy, and the unexpected. My goal is always to create photographs that feel effortlessly chic yet deeply personal, and documentary with an edge.

What inspires you creatively?

I draw deep inspiration from human connection — the laughter of newlyweds and their families, the quiet tears, the meaning behind two lives and lineages becoming one. At the same time, I’m endlessly inspired by fashion: the textures, the movement of fabric, and the sculptural beauty of modern bridal silhouettes. Travel is also a driving force in my work — having explored over 50 countries and lived in 6, the diversity of culture, light, and architecture has shaped the way I see and photograph the world.

What is it that makes an image magical?

A magical image to me is a culmination of three factors: the sentimental moment and nostalgia that it captures, the intention behind its composition, and the way light is used artfully to elevate it into something unforgettable. It’s the blend of nostalgia, beauty, and atmosphere — when a single frame holds both meaning and art, and lingers in your memory long after you’ve seen it.

What advice would you give couples when selecting their wedding photographer?

Choose a photographer whose work makes you feel something — whose style and perspective align with how you want to remember your day. But just as important, make sure you connect with them as a person. You’ll be spending some of your most intimate, emotional moments together, and feeling comfortable, seen, and supported can make all the difference in how your photos turn out — and how you remember the experience itself.

Your dream location to shoot a wedding?

Anywhere along the California coast or in the heart of Paris — both places I’ve photographed before, but would return to in a heartbeat.
