Let's talk
Booking as many weddings/elopements as possible is not what I am after.
I much prefer to photograph couples who trust me and match with my vision and style.

FAQ
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS?
Definetly yes. I have been so lucky that couples took me to so many different places to document their wedding.
I love to combine my profession of photography and my passion for travelling.
No place in the world is too far for me - let's talk about you plans!
NEVER HAD A SHOOT BEFORE, DO WE HAVE TO POSE?
Absolutely not! Over 90% of my couples never had any professional photos of themselves taken, I know how intimidating this can be to be in front of the camera but do not worry. I will guide you through poses and everything the whole way.
Relax and enjoy the day to the fullest. We are all more beautiful when we laugh, when we cry, when we act like we are.
Please ignore me and be natural, be YOU! I take care of the rest as far as photography.
DO YOU PUBLISH ALL YOUR WEDDINGS AND PICTURES?
No, I don´t. I am satisfied with my portfolio. I just publish something when I think it is something different to what I already have, or in a location where I would love to shoot again. Sometimes images are used for my promotion. Sometimes it is for a story on my homepage or a single image on Instagram.
That is crucial way of promoting the work of every photographer. If we cannot share our work, no one will know about us or book us. The way that anyone can find a suitable wedding photographer is because he/she is showing and promoting his/her work.
I understand and respect if your decision to keep the pictures 100% private!
DO YOU DO GROUP PICTURES?
I do cover group shots, I just don‘t share them in my portfolio. I recommend you to do some of them, at least to make someone of your family happy with these pictures. It is not necessary to take much time, we just need a few minutes. At the other hand, long group picutes sessions could break the rhythm of the day.
CAN WE JUST BOOK A AFTER WEDDING PHOTOSHOOT?
YES, SURE! It can be that I am already booked for the wedding day, and couples book me for an After Wedding Shooting.
We do some special photos without the stress of the big day, choosing several locations.
It is relaxed, we all have a good time, and the most important, we can create beautiful memories.
DO YOU DELIVER COLOR OR BLACK/WHITE IMAGES?
I love the minimalistic and elegant touch of Black and White photography.
And most of the images that I share are in Black and White because it's timeless.
In my opinion, the viewer can get involved much better with the feelings of a picture and be less distracted by strong colors..
Colors can be distractive and compete with the subject, and I want my subject to be primary.
My colours are very neutral - not yellow, not vintage because neutral is timeless, not just another trend.
That being said, I deliver around 60% of my images in colour, always depending on the taste of the client.
