ABOUT ME

My approach is both intentional and intuitive. I don’t rely on stiff, traditional posing ,instead, I gently guide you into movement, connection, and emotion. I’ll direct you in a way that feels natural and effortless, so you’re never left wondering what to do. You’ll feel beautiful, seen, and completely present , never overly posed or disconnected from the moment.

I want you to feel your wedding day all over again when you look at your gallery , to remember the way his hand held yours, the way your voice trembled reading your vows, the way the light wrapped around you at golden hour.

This is storytelling through artful imagery ,personal, poetic, and deeply romantic.

Lets create magic together!!!

Originally from South Africa and now based in New Jersey, my work is inspired by old-world romance, editorial storytelling, and the fleeting nature of time.

I believe your love deserves to be remembered not just in photographs ,but in heirlooms. Images that feel like stills from a film, made to be passed down for generations.

My love for photography didn’t begin with a camera , it began with a photograph.

This one, to be exact. My grandmother on her wedding day, smiling as she climbed into a car, while my grandfather stood nearby. It lived in their home for as long as I can remember. I must’ve passed it a hundred times as a kid, but somehow it always made me pause. There was something so timeless, so quietly beautiful about it.

But what really stayed with me wasn’t the photo itself , it was the way they loved each other after that day. Soft, steady, respectful. The kind of love that didn’t need grand gestures to be felt. That’s the love I grew up watching. That’s the love that shaped me.

And that’s what I look for in every couple I photograph. Not just the perfect pose , but the glances, the stillness, the little in-between moments that speak louder than words. My work is inspired by that old soul kind of love ,the kind that lingers, the kind that lasts.

I create emotive, artfully composed imagery for couples who value intentionality, elegance, and the quiet beauty found in real moments. My approach blends the softness of nostalgia with the sophistication of fine art ,every frame designed to feel timeless, cinematic, and deeply personal.
