Years ago, I was searching for my passion and a way to tell stories using my camera. I began cultivating visual artistry and soon accepted that I breathed easier with a camera in my hands. Cameras became my confidence and my words when I couldn’t find a voice. When I viewed a subject through my camera lens, all the pieces fell into place.

A couple’s first dance still gives me chills. I will forever lose my mind during a second line and lose my breath before a bride walks down the aisle. I pray that my couples focus less on having the perfect wedding and more on maintaining the love that guided them here. Marriage is a continuous journey that extends far beyond your day. I’m honored to witness and capture the beginning of countless celebrations. Let the magic and memories begin!
I chose the road less traveled. Refusing to draw a distinguished line between the two, I discovered that details and portraiture are the Erik B & Rakim of photography. Alone, they each serve their intended purpose but together they become an enchanted narrative.
Like a Gordon Parks portrait frozen in time, film photography exudes a quiet confidence. With each click of the shutter, it reveals a hidden door that allows us to wander into nostalgia and surrender to the lens of a masterful storyteller. Film transports you to a world of endless creative possibilities.
Taking photography seriously is a reflection of its importance to me. Taking my clients serious is a reflection of THEIR importance to me. My clients deserve to be authentically represented despite heritage and background. My photographs honor the uniqueness of every single person. My photographs represent the beauty of every single couple.
Alessandra and Louis’s love story began as a coffee date that blossomed into a whirlwind romance. It was a beautiful journey that culminated in a heartfelt proposal on a magical Christmas morning, followed by a joyous wedding celebration the following year.
Alessandra has always loved fashion—especially dresses and as soon as she knew Louis was the one, she started dreaming of what she would wear if and when they got married. She wanted to wear something that felt unique but could potentially be worn on another occasion. The result was the combination of the flared trousers, Victoria crop top and Victoria caftan. Read more about this incredible love story, effortlessly chic bride and the first date that sparked their love connection.
The ability to capture and create is truly a gift. I believe that photography is a creative language that allows me to communicate without words, boundaries, and borders.
Come with me on my storytelling journey. There are so many loves in my life that they spill from the camera not only into pictures but into words and into the thoughts behind them. As I write here, you will hear about photography, certainly; maybe also pick up a few shooting tips. More important, you will join me on my journey through cultures and locations and through all my loves, and share in the beauty that is our human world. Not all of it can be captured in a photograph. From time to time you have to tell and tell.
