I remember pouring over our family albums as a young child — I was obsessed! Those moments with my grandparents in Ecuador, learning grandpa was a well known shipbuilder, seeing my parents young, glamorous on a date night, are so meaningful to me now. That framed photo of them on that wall, found after my father's passing, is priceless. I literally cried.
Can you imagine your children reliving your love story years from now? Photography keeps those moments alive. Whether it's capturing family memories or the thrill of my travels, I've always been passionate about preserving the beauty and adventure of life through the lens.
"photographs IS A WAY OF FEELING, OF TOUCHING, OF LOVING. wHAT YOU HAVE CAUGHT ON FILM IS CAPTURED FOREVER... IT REMEMBERS LITTLE THINGS, LONG AFTER YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING." - aARON SISKIND

As you plan your celebration, you understand everything has a price point. You invest more on what you value most. While my sister and brother-in-law's wedding was very simple, capturing every moment was still very essential. With our mother battling Alzheimer's, having these photos and video means everything to us. These images allow us to relive the day and preserve memories, especially those involving loved ones who may not always be with us.

My approach
While my job is to document your love story, I will help zip you if you are a bride getting ready alone or help fix your tie. I will genuinely celebrate with you, I might even tear up during your vows, or when you dance with your parent, or when your fiancée says "Yes". I will love your grandma! You might even catch me shimmying on the dance floor so your guests forget I am "the photographer" capturing all the fun. I will definitely say goodbye with a hug. And don't be surprised if I follow your journey on social media long after the wedding. If you can handle all this enthusiasm and end up with a friend, then we are a perfect match!

you made them feel."
