about me
and my philosophy
I was born and raised in Americana, São Paulo, and a few years ago I packed up my life and moved to the U.S - chasing both love and a dream. Being an immigrant has shaped how I see the world and how I tell stories. It taught me to slow down, to notice emotions, and to find beauty in transition.
My approach is rooted in connection first, camera second.
I blend an editorial eye with honest, documentary storytelling - meaning your photos will feel refined and intentional, but never stiff or overly posed. I’ll guide you when you need direction and step back when the real moments are unfolding. The goal is always to create imagery that feels elevated yet deeply personal.
I care about how your day feels just as much as how it looks. I help with timeline flow, lighting, and natural movement so nothing feels forced or performative. You won’t spend your wedding day in a constant photoshoot - you’ll be present, and I’ll preserve what’s real.
Above all, I want you to feel comfortable, seen, and supported. When there’s trust, the images follow.

all are welcome
 
Love is love, and it deserves to be celebrated fully and without hesitation. I proudly welcome and support couples of all backgrounds, identities, and orientations. My work is rooted in respect, inclusivity, and creating a space where you feel completely safe being yourselves. Your story matters, and it will always be honored here.

I want to know you beyond just what your wedding looks like. I want to know your people, what matters to you, and what you want to remember when you look back years from now. I want you to feel comfortable and just enjoy your day for what it is. If this feels like you, reach out. I’d really love to hear from you.
I want to work with you!
