Lover of light, love & travel - fueled by Nepresso & red wine, and an O.G. Swiftie.

I'm drawn to those who value connection over perfection and want their photos to reflect their day honestly, not overly styled or forced.
Think classic, but never stiff.
Warm, but not overly styled.
Gently guided, never forced.
I love dramatic wide shots that place you in the world around you just as much as quiet, close moments that feel like a breath you didn’t realize you were holding. Every session is shaped by who you are and what you choose to share with me.
Here to capture your love in a way that's as timeless as your commitment.

Some of my favourite places
Rome brought the perfect contrast: buzzing energy, bucket-list sights, and unforgettable meals (carbonara for me, gnocchi for him). We wandered, ate well despite barely tasting, and fell for the charm of Trastevere. Not the trip we planned - but messy, memorable, and the perfect excuse to return.
From the winding canals of Venice (even if ours never quite happened) to the sun-warmed streets of Rome, Italy gave us a story we’ll never forget; sinus infections from hell & all. Our cancelled Venice plans turned into more time in Florence, which completely stole our hearts with its architecture, museums, incredible food, and the warmth of Hotel David, where we felt like family.
Ghent became our home base, and in many ways, quietly stole the show. The pace felt softer, more local, with hidden gems tucked between historic streets and canals. We settled into life at Hotel Astoria, spent our days exploring the city centre, and indulged in all the essentials - handmade candy, hot chocolate (with rum, obviously), Belgian chocolate, and fries at every turn. the kind of place we’d go back to in a heartbeat.
From the storybook canals of Bruges (after watching In Bruges the night before) to huddling under gas heaters in the town square, it all felt a little cinematic in the best way. We wandered past fairy tale buildings, hands wrapped around oversized beers, sharing steaming pots of mussels while people-watching in the cold. It was one of those slow, cozy moments you don’t plan, but end up wishing you could bottle.
Melbourne brought a completely different rhythm. Creative, layered, and effortlessly cool. From what might actually be the world’s best croissant at Lune, to diving into the city’s deep film roots and museums, it felt like there was inspiration around every corner. The mix of modern architecture, artsy energy, and incredible international food scene made it hard to slow down, even solo. The Queen Victoria Night Market in late Nov. was a standout highlight. A short visit that left a lasting impression, and one I already know I’ll be back for.
From the moment I arrived, Australia felt like something I’d been waiting for my entire life (because I had!). Sydney, especially, held that long-awaited, surreal energy. Walking the boardwalk between the Harbour Bridge & the Opera House, I genuinely could have cried. Seeing it in person, with the ocean beside it, didn’t feel real in the best way. Between beach days, some of the best coffee I’ve ever had, & unforgettable meals in Chinatown, it was everything I’d hoped for and more.
The rest of the day became a blur of exploring as much as possible before catching our train. We started slow with coffee and pastries at a cozy café nearby, then made our way past the Moulin Rouge, through the Louvre, and over to Notre-Dame. A stop at Shakespeare and Company turned into lingering longer than planned (and leaving with more than we needed). Not nearly enough time, but just enough to fall in love with it, and know we’ll be back.
Paris gave us just 24 hours, and somehow, it still felt like a whirlwind dream. We raced to the Eiffel Tower and Bir-Hakeim Bridge, soaking it in as quickly as we could before rushing back to make our dinner reservation. The next morning started before the city woke, wandering Montmartre at sunrise while everything felt still and softly lit. It was fast, a little chaotic, and somehow still incredibly romantic in that only-Paris way.
It’s where my love for planning & photographing destination weddings came to life. I enjoy every part of it - travel logistics, timelines, the experience of bringing it all together somewhere beautiful & meaningful. I’ve had the chance to photograph weddings at places like Hard Rock Los Cabos, Sandos Finisterra, Now Sapphire Cancun. Forever a place I return to often, & one that continues to inspire me every time.
A place that’s never just a destination, but somewhere that feels deeply familiar, like a second home. I find myself drawn back to Mexico again & again, & the feeling stays the same. From the iconic arches of Cabo, the cobblestone streets of Old Vallarta, to the clear, warm waters of the Riviera Maya, it holds this effortless kind of magic I can’t quite explain. It’s vibrant, grounding, & forever one of my favourite places to be.
Machu Picchu was everything I had dreamed of and more. The feeling of the mountains, the pace of daily life, the connection to the land and people all left a lasting imprint. Peru has shaped so much of who I am, in ways both big and small. Even in the names closest to me - my dog, Lima, and my late cat, Cusco, to my Machu Picchu tattoo it continues to live on in and around me. Not just a place I’ve been, but a place that will always be home.
My true love. The kind of place that becomes part of you & never lets go. I first went in '07 - young, wide-eyed, and completely taken by its people, culture, & charm. I returned in 2010 and fell even deeper, drawn into its history, cuisine, & something harder to define but impossible to ignore. By 2011, I found myself back again, this time for a longer stay in the mountains above Huaraz, where life slowed down & something in me shifted. In many ways, I left a piece of my heart there.
I was drawn to the culture, colour, and connection woven into everything. The local markets were full of energy, art, and vibrant textiles, and the food left a lasting impression - rich, spicy dishes like fish soup and peanut stew over rice. A visit to the Aburi Botanical Gardens offered a quieter contrast, surrounded by artisans and local makers. A place & country full of life that’s stayed with me ever since.
Ghana holds a collection of memories shaped by two trips in 2005 and 2007. Based mostly in Accra, I quickly fell into the rhythm of daily life, early mornings waking to the sound of roosters, hot humid air already settling in, evenings spent playing football in the red dirt as the sun dipped low, and nights that brought the loudest rains & thunderstorms of my life. The beauty and power of nature was ever present. It was immersive in the simplest, most meaningful way.
Along the coast, Viña del Mar and Valparaíso offered a completely different charm. From the striking Easter Island head to the colorful, uniquely stacked homes clinging to the hills, every corner felt vibrant and alive. Street vendors lined the walkways, the ocean breeze carried a sense of calm, and the blend of history and culture gave each town its own character. Together, they created a coastal experience that was as rich and dynamic as it was beautiful.
Santiago welcomed us with a blend of energy and serenity, but the true highlight was rising above it all. We took a gondola up the mountainside to reach the iconic Christ statue, where the entire city unfolded beneath us. As the sun began to set, the Andes stretched across the horizon in soft, glowing hues, creating a view that felt almost surreal. The crisp, fresh air and quiet stillness at the top made the moment unforgettable. One of those experiences that lingers long after you’ve left.
