Your biggest fan

As a passionate storyteller and professional photographer, I believe every love story deserves to be captured with timeless elegance and heartfelt authenticity. My focus is on celebrating the genuine connections that define your day, ensuring every detail—from exquisite florals to stunning gowns—reflects the true emotions of your celebration. Whether it's the joy in your partner's eyes as you say "I do" or the tear rolling down your grandmother's cheek as you walk down the aisle, I strive to immortalize the moments that matter most.

Inspired by my parents’ elopement in Mexico, where no photographs exist, I deeply understand the value of preserving these cherished moments for generations to come. 


Like the September issue of Vogue, I’m fueled by chic elegance. I’ll expertly manage your large party and capture your love story—blending high-fashion artistry with timeless moments.

My work has been featured in esteemed publications like Green Wedding Shoes, Style Me Pretty, Wedding Chicks, and 100 Layer Cake, alongside multiple Best of Weddings awards on The Knot. These accolades reflect my commitment to excellence and my passion for ensuring every couple feels celebrated and understood.


I pride myself on being a guiding presence for my couples, ensuring you feel comfortable and truly seen. My approach creates a relaxed atmosphere that allows you to embrace the joy of your wedding day while I capture the beautiful, candid moments that unfold. For me, it’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about honoring the essence of your love in a way that feels personal and authentic.


When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me dreaming about my next Parisian adventure, indulging in lavender ice cream, or training for my next marathon. My passion for fashion and vibrant experiences drives me to empower every couple to feel stunning and celebrated, reminding you that the heart of your wedding lies in the love you share.

Let’s connect and craft a breathtaking narrative of your love story through emotional storytelling and a creative vision that beautifully reflects your unique journey.
