Often, the songs will stop me in my tracks. There are many songs that remind me of so many of you. The couples who trust me to be there storyteller, that is. Your first dances. The song the band practiced during your first look. The strings of harmony as you walked down the aisle. Sometimes as I'm cooking dinner in the kitchen or driving in my car or gardening, one of these melodies will come on and I will be transported back to that place. Most recently, jt was C'era una Volta il West--or--"Once Upon a Time in The West". I can remember the exact moment. I was swiftly, with hopeful discretion, moving through the lawn level of a private Italian villa overlooking Lake Como. It was late afternoon, warm and a languid breeze. The strings carried their harmony through the grounds and across the lake as you wiped streaming tears from your cheeks--looking your father in the face, you both laughed. I quickly peered over the shoulder of your musicians and snapped a photo of the music sheet as to be able to remember just what song they were playing. It's beautiful and it was emotional and honest and lovely and all of the things that your wedding day was, too.

The thing about me--I'm all in kind of person. I'm fully immersed. Feeling and sensing and anticipating it all. Storytelling through photography has given home to my ability to experience the world in what feels like full volume. In life, it has, at times felt heavy to carry. As a documentarian, it now feels harnessed as a superpower. I recognize that the incredible stories others bring my way come to me because they are so authentic and wonderful and genuine that they deserve every bit of volume and awareness and experiencing.

I'm so grateful. For the bounty of beautiful memories and reminders I carry of each story I am trusted to tell. It's a beautiful, harmonious, collection to hold.

A meaningful wedding isn’t defined by budget, location, or how on-trend the photos are.

It’s defined by how the day feels.

After two decades of photographing weddings—across private estates, historic venues, and destinations worldwide—I’ve learned that the most beautiful images come from days that are calm, well-paced, and emotionally held.

The couples who trust me most aren’t trying to perform.
They want to be present.

They care deeply about their guests.
They value thoughtful planning.
They want images that feel effortless, not extracted.

I hope that resonates🤍

Can I tell you a hard truth that both vendors and couples need to hear? You need a planner.

I talked about this on a while back. This feels timely and worth resharing.

One of the biggest reasons I require a planner isn’t just logistics — it’s also protection + communication.

Planners are hiring creatives based on professional reputation, not just vibes, There’s a real peer-to-peer accountability there. And honestly? Creatives are often more able to say, “Hey, I’m navigating something hard” to another pro than directly to a client.

That extra layer means:
• better communication
• more reassurance for couples
• a professional planner that can stand in the gap if life happens for a vendor

It protects everyone 🤍

Quiet and ordinary. But important. Whispered moments of your wedding day. Like leaning into your person, pressing your face to his and taking a big deep breath.

When the bride is a literal show stopper in Ravello so I had my husband had to pretend he was on security detail just to get us through the village for portraits.
Elite teamwork. 10/10 would hire him again. 🇮🇹✨
