The Experience

“The number one thing is to make you feel reassured that somebody is looking out for you, guiding you in every aspect, until eventually you just forget the camera is there, and you become yourselves.”

Documentary at Heart

The love unfolding all around you.

On your wedding day there is so much happening all around you that you'll never get to see. The way your mom looks at you. The way grandma holds grandpa's hand a little tighter. Your best friend crying behind you.

“You become a witness. You're not altering the scene. You're capturing all these moments they don't get to see, that become the ultimate treasures.”

It's why I never really stop moving through your day, and why a second photographer joins us when the day calls for it, so the gallery you receive holds hundreds of moments you didn't know happened.

A Little Magic

Something real to hold.

We live so much of our lives through a screen, and your wedding shouldn't only live there too. Your full gallery is crafted with care and worth the wait, but the feeling of your day is something I want you to be able to hold, not just scroll past.

“There's a moment where you get to look at your day, hold it in your hands, and think: wow, this really happened. That feeling is everything to me.”

So there may be a little something waiting for you, one of the many ways you'll get to feel your wedding all over again.

Why Couples Choose Me

Everything you've dreamed of, held with care.

Crafted

No two weddings edited the same. Your gallery is made for your day, never a copy of the last.

Experienced

Fifteen years, hundreds of weddings, a fashion and photojournalism eye, and a calm hand when timelines slip or the Florida sky opens up.

Loved

Couples who become friends. Families I photograph for years, engagements, weddings, first babies, and back again.

Wherever Love Takes Us

St. Augustine, Hammock Beach, and beyond.

From Flagler College proposals to Hammock Beach ceremonies, from intimate backyard weddings to Colombia, Puerto Rico, and the mountains of Colorado. I travel for love, in two languages, for every kind of couple.

Meet Paola

It started with my grandfather's camera.

A high-school project in Bogotá. Years in medicine that asked too much of my heart. And then a professor who looked at my work and said the words that changed everything: “you're actually good at this. You should do this.”

Fashion in Medellín taught me intention. Photojournalism taught me to catch the unscripted. Weddings are where all of it comes together.
