less about how it looks, more about how it feels.
When you really think about it, you don't want your wedding day to feel like a photoshoot, and you most definitely don't want to miss out on enjoying your wedding day.
As someone who's deeply sentimental, you want a photographer who understands the emotional weight of not only each moment on your wedding day, but every person near and dear to your heart.
My approach ensures that we capture beautiful moments as they unfold, allowing you to spend more time with your guests. We’ll have a detailed photo timeline to minimize interruptions and focus on capturing natural interactions.
By blending into the background and using a documentary-style approach, I document the story of your day without taking you away from it. This way, you can cherish the memories + relive them, without feeling like you spent the day posing for the camera.
CAREFREE, ROMANTIC + sentimental
“She captured happy moments, teary moments, fun moments, etc. She has an eye for capturing the unexpected moments & understood what we wanted to achieve.”
Why I can't wait to document your day
HELEN & CRISTIAN
I’ll point my lens towards the lighthearted and candid stuff - the celebration of true love surrounded by your favorite people.
The only time you’ll find me to be more hands-on is during portraits, but don’t worry - I won’t be barking poses. Expect something more like fun prompts to help bring out your giggles, wildly romantic side and your genuine connection that brought you together in the first place.
UNOBTRUSIVE, CREATIVE, & moving
The DDP Documentary Approach
You love me, I love you, and now we get to the fun stuff! Now that you've locked me in for your wedding day, you'll receive my most invaluable resource, a full 40+ page wedding guide (with downloadable checklists) to help you along on your wedding planning journey. From morning activities to the after party, I've got you covered.

SAVE THE DATE
Whether it’s hanging out at the spot where you had your first date, grabbing food at your favorite place, or trying something totally new together, your engagement session is all about capturing what makes your love unique.

CONNECTION SESSION
In the months leading up to your wedding, you'll have the chance to share with me all the things that make your love story uniquely yours – from the inside jokes to the quiet moments that mean the most. This way, when your big day arrives, I’ll be able to capture it in a way that’s true to who you are as a couple. We’ll plan out the formalities – like your family photo list – so that on your wedding day, you’re free to celebrate, laugh, and soak in every moment with nothing but love on your mind.

YOUR JOURNEY
Just five weeks after your wedding day is over, you will receive an online gallery that tells the story of your big day! Hundreds of memories, all waiting for you to relive them. I always recommend that my couples grab a glass of wine, cozy up together, and take their time reliving every bit of the day through their photos. Whether it’s your first dance or those quiet moments stolen away from the crowd, each image is a piece of your story.

if you’ve ordered an album, the experience continues! Not long after your gallery goes live, we’ll begin designing your custom album, ensuring it reflects every detail that made your wedding day so special. Let’s create something that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

I'll show up bright & early, settle in fast and intro myself to everyone in the room before I start shooting. My biggest goal is to make sure everyone’s feeling 100% comfy and psyched for the day (especially you!).
ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
Throughout the day, I'll be listening, weaving in and out to make sure I catch every special moment, including moments that went unseen - a cheeky kiss at the dinner table, a wink from Grandma - all the stuff that makes your heart want to explode!

Riding a wave of love, laughter and tears ... of joy!
I edit each image individually with laser-pointed attention to detail. ALL of my energy goes into ensuring your day is recreated in its true colors + emotions. Your photos are time portals; from refining the details – like cropping and straightening – to perfecting the colors that reflect the true mood of your day, I ensure every image in your gallery flows seamlessly together. It’s all about creating a collection that feels cohesive, authentic, and as beautiful as the moments themselves.

Your legacy starts here
There’s a special ‘something’ that comes from looking at old photos…something that holding them digitally hostage simply can’t match.
The warm nostalgia you feel when looking through your parents' wedding album, reliving it through their eyes, moment by moment. You weren't there with them, but you’re still able to laugh a little and feel a lot.
Beautifully made, just for you - a tangible way to relive all the memories, a celebration of the beginning of your neverending romance, passed down for generations to come. Pictures over pixels, baby!
