Capturing celebrations through light, landscape and the poetry of human connection.
What first drew you to destination weddings as a creative space to work within?
I’ve always been fascinated by people and the places that shape them. Destination weddings bring those two things together. They’re not just about a wedding day; they’re about a shared experience. The journey, the culture, the landscape, the meals, the conversations, and the feeling of being somewhere meaningful with the people you love most. I’m interested in documenting all of it- the connections, the emotions, and the memories being created along the way.
How would you describe your visual style to couples discovering your work for the first time?
Emotional, observational, and honest. I’m drawn to photographs that carry feeling. While I care deeply about light, composition, and beauty, what matters most is creating images that help people remember not only what happened, but how it felt to exist in the world.
How does travelling to new places influence the way you see and photograph a wedding day?
Travel reminds me how many different ways there are to live, celebrate, and connect. Every destination has its own pace, textures, traditions, and light. Rather than arriving with expectations, I prefer to pay attention and let the place reveal itself. The location becomes inseparable from the memory.
What kinds of moments or interactions do you instinctively gravitate towards when documenting a celebration?
The moments that often go unnoticed. A parent is watching quietly from across the room. Friends embracing after years apart. The breath before walking down the aisle. A hand resting on someone’s shoulder. These small gestures reveal so much about who we are and how we love.
How do you balance an editorial eye with keeping moments feeling natural and emotionally honest?
I don’t see them as opposites. Beauty and emotion can coexist. Sometimes I offer gentle direction, and other times I step back completely. What matters is creating photographs that feel effortless and true to the experience itself.
What kind of atmosphere or energy tends to inspire you most creatively on a wedding day?
I’m inspired by celebrations where people are genuinely connected to one another. Beautiful design is always a gift to photograph, but what moves me most is the energy around it: people laughing, crying, dancing, telling stories, and being completely immersed in the experience.
What’s one small or unexpected detail you always hope to capture when photographing abroad?
The details that bring a memory to a place. The way afternoon light falls across a room. A table after dinner. The view from a window. The quiet traces that remind you exactly where you were and what it felt like to be there.
What part of your personality do you think quietly reveals itself through your work?
Probably my sensitivity and compassion. I notice small things and feel deeply. The shifts in energy, the quiet interactions, the details most people overlook. I think that shows in the photographs I make and the moments I choose to keep.
What kinds of destinations, celebrations, or experiences are you hoping to photograph more of in the coming years?
Celebrations that feel personal to the people at the centre of them. Gatherings shaped by family history, culture, tradition, and a strong sense of place. More than a specific destination, I’m drawn to experiences that bring people together in a meaningful way.
If your photography had a mood, soundtrack, or setting, how would you describe it?
It would feel like a warm evening surrounded by nature. Friends and family gathered together. Wine being poured, music playing somewhere in the background, stories being told, laughter echoing from one end of the table to the other.
A little nostalgia. Happy tears.
The feeling of knowing you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
The feeling of loving and being loved.
