LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT ME...



I grew up in São Paulo, Brazil, where my love for nature, travel, and storytelling first began. From an early age, I was drawn to the outdoors and fascinated by the way light transformed a landscape or a fleeting moment. Photography quickly became a way to preserve those experiences, documenting my travels and adventures as I explored more than ten countries around the world.


That passion eventually led me to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Photography and build a career across multiple facets of the industry. I have worked in fine art galleries, commercial photography studios, and magazine publishing, gaining a deep appreciation for the technical precision, artistry, and subtle nuances that elevate an image. These experiences shaped the foundation of my work and continue to influence the way I approach every wedding and elopement I photograph today.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT

What sets me apart is the combination of formal education, artistic vision, and real-world experience. I bring both academic expertise and an artist's sensibility to my craft. With more than a decade of experience documenting weddings and elopements, I have developed an intuitive understanding of light, composition, and human connection. I know when to gently guide my couples to help them look and feel their best, and when to step back and allow authentic moments to unfold naturally. My approach blends editorial elegance with documentary storytelling, creating images that are both beautiful and deeply meaningful.


Capturing Your Essence & Timeless Narratives

I strive to capture true-to-color images with high contrasts, ensuring that every photograph tells a vivid and compelling story. With a candid style, I aim to freeze moments in time, letting the raw emotions and genuine experiences unfold naturally. Your adventure, your story—immortalized in a series of images that not only reflect your reality but also add an artistic touch that makes each frame a visual masterpiece.
