ABOUT ME

My approach is rooted in storytelling , the kind that feels like a timeless film. I blend romantic, old-money elegance with a touch of editorial edge, because your love story deserves to be told in a way that's both deeply emotional and visually striking. Yes, I’ll absolutely sneak in one or two traditional shots for grandma (because we all need those!), but the heart of my work is about capturing connection , the way he looks at you when you’re not watching, the gentle brush of hands, the laughter in between the quiet.

I won’t pose you stiffly or make you feel awkward. Instead, I’ll guide you gently, creating space for real moments, real emotion, and real magic.

When you look back at your gallery, I want you to feel your day all over again, the way his hand held yours, the crack in your voice during your vows, the golden light that wrapped around you both like a memory.

This is wedding photography that’s romantic, cinematic, and forever timeless.

Let’s create something beautiful 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.
