Behind The Brand

What draws you to wedding photography?

I am drawn to wedding photography because it allows me to capture raw emotions, authentic moments, and timeless love stories. Every wedding is unique, filled with meaningful details and fleeting expressions that deserve to be preserved forever. I love the challenge of telling a couple’s story through a cinematic and artistic lens, creating images that evoke emotion and transport people back to their special day. Being part of such a significant moment in people’s lives and turning their memories into lasting art is both an honor and a passion.

How would you describe your photography style?

I would describe my photography style as emotional, cinematic, and fine art. I focus on capturing genuine moments and subtle emotions, while creating a narrative that feels like a timeless story. My approach blends natural light with thoughtful composition to craft elegant and atmospheric images. I strive to make every photograph feel authentic, artistic, and full of life, capturing the essence of each couple’s love in a way that’s both beautiful and emotive.

What inspires you creatively?

I find inspiration in the raw, unfiltered emotions that unfold during a wedding day—the joy, the laughter, the quiet moments, and the heartfelt connections. Nature also inspires me, especially how light and shadow can transform a scene and evoke a particular mood. I draw creativity from art, films, and music, particularly the way visual storytelling can move people emotionally. Most of all, I’m inspired by the love between the couples I work with, as each wedding offers a new, unique story to tell through my lens.

What is it that makes an image magical?

An image becomes magical when it captures a moment that feels timeless and full of emotion. It’s not just about technical perfection, but about the connection between the subject and the viewer. The magic happens when the light, composition, and emotion come together to tell a story that resonates deeply. It’s that fleeting moment—whether it’s a glance, a laugh, or a quiet pause—that, when captured just right, evokes a sense of nostalgia and transports you back to that very moment. It’s the ability to freeze time and make it feel alive.

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

When selecting your wedding photographer, my advice is to choose someone whose work resonates with you emotionally. Look for a photographer whose style aligns with your vision for the day, whether it’s candid, cinematic, or fine art. Beyond style, make sure you connect with the person behind the camera—trust is key. Your photographer will be there for the most intimate moments, so it’s important to feel comfortable and confident in their ability to capture those memories. Take the time to review their portfolio, and don’t hesitate to ask questions about their process, experience, and how they handle different wedding moments. Finally, trust your instincts—your wedding photos will be cherished for a lifetime, so it’s crucial to feel a personal connection with the photographer.

Your dream location to shoot a wedding?

My dream location to shoot a wedding would be somewhere that blends natural beauty with timeless elegance—like a secluded vineyard in Tuscany, a rustic estate by the sea, or a charming, historic castle surrounded by lush gardens. I love locations that offer unique lighting and atmospheric backdrops, allowing me to create cinematic, storybook-like images. The ideal place is one that reflects the couple’s personality and love story while offering a sense of intimacy and magic. Ultimately, the best location is one where the couple feels comfortable and free to be themselves, allowing me to capture their authentic moments in a breathtaking setting.
