A little proof that you don’t need five different locations to get a ton of variety in your engagement photos. 🤍

We had SO much fun wandering around the lake, playing with movement, switching things up, and just letting these two be themselves. One location, so many different little moments, and a gallery that feels like an entire evening together. 🥹

Sometimes the smallest details tell you the most about a couple. 🕊️

Rebecca + David are bird lovers, so when I started photographing their wedding details at Woodend Sanctuary, I wanted to incorporate a little bit of that into their flat lays. I gathered a few things from around the venue, then found this giant book of birds and asked the groom to choose a page for me to style their details on.

A tiny choice, but one that made these photos feel so much more theirs.

One of my favorite parts of photographing wedding details is finding ways to bring pieces of the couple, the venue, and the day itself into the frame. 🤍

The artist → the art ✨

A little behind the scenes of me doing what I love, followed by a few of the moments that make it all worth it.

A little direction when you need it, plenty of room for the real moments to unfold, and colorful, genuine wedding photos that still feel like you.

Once upon a time… ✨

Welcome to the next chapter of Farfalla Photography.

Over the last few months, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the kind of experience I want every couple to have from the moment they inquire to the day they hold their photographs years later. I wanted my brand to feel the same way my work does: timeless, intentional, romantic, and full of genuine moments.

Today I’m so excited to finally share it with you!

You’ll notice a new look across my website, social media, and client experience. While things may look a little different, the heart behind Farfalla Photography hasn’t changed. I’m still the same photographer who will happily fluff your dress, fix your veil, celebrate with your family, and quietly capture the moments you didn’t even realize were happening.

This rebrand is simply a reflection of where my business has grown and where it’s headed.

Whether you’ve been following along for years, trusted me to photograph your wedding, or just found my page today, thank you for being part of this story. I truly wouldn’t be here without your support!

Also HUGE thank you to Instagram.com/blackbirdcreativedesigns for the incredible new look 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Here’s to new beginnings, beautiful love stories, and the next chapter. 🤍
