Meet Your Photographer
My Photography Style
My style sits somewhere between documentary and fine art. I follow your day as it unfolds, but I’m always watching for the light, the quiet glances, and the in-between moments that tell the real story. Nothing overly posed, nothing staged. Just genuine emotions captured in a way that looks timeless twenty years from now.
Couples love that their galleries feel like a film rather than a checklist of shots. You’ll see the nervous laugh before the first look, the grandparent wiping a tear, the stolen moment between you two when no one else noticed. That’s the stuff worth keeping; and that’s exactly what I’m here for.
My Method
It starts with a quick call or message; no hassle, no pressure. We chat about your date, your venue, and what matters most to you and your partner. From there, I handle the timeline, suggest the best locations, and check in regularly so by the time your wedding day arrives, everything just flows.
On the day, think of me as part of the team – calm, unobtrusive, and always one step ahead. After the wedding, your fully edited gallery lands in your inbox within three to five weeks. Browse it, download it, share it. Simple as that.
My Philosophy
To me, wedding photography and videography is not just a profession; it is a passion. Every wedding is special, and adore in documenting the mood and excitement of your day carefully and diligently – leaving you with fantastic photographs to cherish for the rest of your lives. I will capture beautiful natural moments.
I do my best to catch photographs that capture the moment in all its magic and radiance, with your elegance and passion. I go the extra mile to tell the story of your special day in charming, emotional pictures, shot discreetly without drawing unnecessary attention.
I make use of the latest state-of-the-art digital technology, together with my experience and impeccable technical skills, I can bring your photographs to life and give them a voice. Your wedding album will be the story book of your love, a story you will share with your children and grandchildren. I work with Master Artisans in Italy who work to create your stunning wedding album, an heirloom for you and your family.
When I was thinking of Box Cube Studios and my vision for it, these were my thoughts. Words that came to mind were: love, family, legend, vibrant, story, life, vision, personality, beautiful, timeless, emotional, un-choreographed, authentic stories, pure, build, artwork, eyes, science, tale, heirloom, create…. You get the idea now? I like telling stories, specifically love stories. That is all wedding photography is to me in the end. A visual love story.
Finally, I had to come up with a mission statement and this is what I came up with: “When my client let me into their lives, I will use my camera to help them bottle their memories beautifully & honestly”.
