For me, photography begins with a state of awareness. I believe that how we choose to look at the world dictates how we connect with the people in it. My approach is rooted in the idea that every wedding is a shared human experience—a collection of the same love, hope, and tenderness we all carry. Each story I document leaves its mark on me, constantly evolving my perspective on what it means to truly belong.
I view a wedding gallery as a cohesive narrative—a rhythm of small glances, shifting shadows, and a deliberate color palette that binds every frame together. These quiet details are the heartbeat of the day’s artistic depth.
I create with the legacy in mind: the weight of a book, the texture of a print, the way a photograph occupies a space in your home. I don't just take pictures for a screen; I craft them for the physical world, focusing on how they will be felt and held for generations.
