Thank you for being here.

Before I became a wedding photographer, I worked as an intensive care nurse.
Every day, I witnessed moments that change people forever. Not the loud ones, but the quiet ones.

A touch. A look. A breath held a second longer. Tears of fear, relief, love.

I learned very early what moments mean.
How small gestures can carry weight for years.
And how deeply images can anchor memory.

That is how I see weddings.

Not as events to be staged, but as days filled with meaning. Honest, emotional, sometimes quiet, sometimes overwhelming. I photograph what is real. The in-between moments. The atmosphere. The connection.

My work is documentary at heart, guided by intuition and shaped with an editorial eye. Dreamy, cinematic, but never forced. I leave space for laughter, for closeness, for stillness. I step in only when guidance is needed.

With a balance of digital and analogue photography, I create images that feel timeless, textured and personal. Not perfect, but true.

If you value photographs that feel human, considered and lasting, then we might be a good fit.
