In the Q&A below, she shares more about the creative philosophy behind her work, the influences that continue to shape her perspective, and the moments she finds herself returning to time and again.
What first drew you to photographing weddings, and what continues to keep you inspired by them today?
I actually found my way into weddings by accident. I photographed my first one when I was 17, then spent some time working in advertising and commercial photography before realising weddings were where I truly belonged. What I love is that no two days are ever the same. Wedding photography brings together so many genres I enjoy: portraiture, fashion, still life, architecture and documentary storytelling. But more than that, it carries an incredible sense of purpose. Knowing that these photographs become part of someone’s home and family history for decades to come is something I never take for granted. It’s a privilege that still inspires me every time.
How would you describe the feeling you hope people take away from your work?
More than anything, I want people to feel seen. I hope they remember how comfortable they felt, how free they were to simply be themselves. If they can recognise themselves in the photographs and be transported back to how those moments actually felt, then I’ve done my job the best way I could. Beautiful images matter, but the emotions they hold are what give them lasting value.
What does working across both film and digital allow you to express that one medium alone cannot?
For me, combining film and digital creates a richer, more layered story, much like people themselves. Film has a quiet honesty to it. It invites me to slow down and often feels as though it reaches something deeper and more intimate. Digital allows me to respond instinctively to the pace of a wedding, capturing the fleeting in-between moments that disappear in a heartbeat. I believe the magic is rarely found in the obvious image. More often, it’s the moment just before or just after that says everything.
How do you decide which moments belong on film and which are better suited to digital?
Sometimes a scene simply feels like film. The light, the colours, the atmosphere – it almost tells me which camera to reach for. I naturally gravitate towards film during quieter moments where I have time to slow down and compose with intention. Digital becomes essential for the fast-moving, spontaneous in-between moments. That said, I also love doing the opposite from time to time. Some of my favourite images come from choosing the unexpected.
What kinds of moments or details do you find yourself instinctively drawn to throughout a wedding day?
I’m always drawn to moments where genuine connection is quietly unfolding. A glance, a hand reaching for another, the kind of interaction that often goes unnoticed. Alongside that, I have a deep appreciation for thoughtful design, fashion and beautiful details. So nothing inspires me more than weddings where genuine emotion and thoughtful aesthetics come together.
What is one influence outside of photography that continues to shape your creative perspective?
Travelling, without question. It constantly reminds me to stay curious. Every place, every conversation and every culture offers a different way of seeing the world. I think creativity grows through perspective, and travel has taught me that the most valuable thing you can bring home isn’t just inspiration, but a new way of looking at familiar things.
What is a wedding moment you never tire of photographing, no matter how many times you’ve seen it?
Speeches. There’s something incredibly moving about watching people put love into words. The laughter, the tears, the quiet reactions across the room – it’s often where relationships reveal themselves most honestly. Capturing those connections never feels repetitive to me. It’s one of the moments that continues to affect me every single time.
If your photography had a colour palette, what would it look like and why?
Natural, earthy tones with occasional vibrant accents. I love palettes that feel calm and timeless but are never flat. Just like a wedding day itself, I think balance comes from allowing subtle moments to exist alongside bold ones.
What kinds of celebrations, destinations, or creative collaborations are you hoping to say yes to in the years ahead?
I’m drawn to couples who truly want to be present. People who care deeply about the experience of the day, who value connection just as much as beautiful design, fashion and thoughtful details. South Africa and New Zealand would be dream destinations, both places I feel deeply connected to. But at the same time, Europe continues to surprise me. Its diversity means there’s still so much left to explore here, too. Just look at Tonnara di Scopello. This place feels unreal.
What advice would you give couples who are trying to choose a photographer whose work they’ll still love decades from now?
I think, in the end, what stays with you is never just the photograph. It’s how it makes you feel. Of course, technical skill matters, but so does the connection you have with the person behind the camera. Choose someone who genuinely sees you, understands what matters to you and cares just as much about your experience as they do about the final gallery.
The photographs will last for decades. How you felt while they were being made matters just as much.
