NYC → BORDEAUX
Originally from NYC, I have been working in the photo industry for over 12 years. After obtaining my master's degree in photography from the School of Visual Arts, I was a photo editor at Saks Fifth Avenue, a well known luxury fashion brand in New York.
A few years ago I fell in love with a Frenchman and I decided to swap bagels for baguettes, and we settled permanently in the beautiful city of Bordeaux. I am in the process of learning French (a daily challenge!) and this beautiful culture that I never tire of. Since moving here I've found my true calling for documenting weddings, and I feel so grateful to wake up every day and do what I love for "work".
Passionate and meticulous, I'm committed to immortalising the unique moments of your day. Your bursts of laughter, tears, quick looks or a loving embrace... I'm here to capture all of these moments that pass too quickly, giving you the chance to hold onto them forever.
I attach great importance to knowing you and understanding your vision for your wedding day, which allows me to best capture and tell your story. I can't wait to hear from you :)

UNIQUE IMAGES
As an American living in France, I bring a unique style and charm to the photos we create together. My background in photo journalism and fashion photography lead to photos that capture your day as it truly is, with a touch of editorial flair. My goal is to capture all of the special big and little moments of your wedding so you don't have to miss a thing.
RETOUCHING
I do not use heavy filters or effects on my photos. I believe that the most timeless images are ones that reflect what your wedding day truly looked like. Every photo in your album will be carefully color corrected with a warm finish and flattering skin tones. I do not alter bodies or faces, but I will take the extra time to remove distracting details such as light switches on the wall or a hair tie on the wrist.
COMMUNICATION
If you choose me as your wedding photographer- we're going to be friends. I believe in open and continuous communication and I love to help plan when needed. I've had clients send me their wedding dress ideas, I've helped choose venues and flower arrangements, etc. I am here for as much support as you need, and it's my mission to help keep your wedding day on schedule.
DELIVERY
My clients can expect a beautiful preview gallery with 5 days of their wedding. This is the highlight reel of the best moments of your day- usually around 75 photos.
I guarantee my clients will receive their full wedding gallery within 5-7 weeks, I won't keep you waiting.
