CAPTURING LOVE STORIES
a relaxed &
Friendly Approach
My years studying film, fine arts and photography have no doubt had an impact on the way I look at photographic narration and storytelling. But fundamentally, no academic understanding of aesthetic and light can truly teach you the importance of genuine trust between a photographer and the people she captures. That’s why I put your ease and comfort at the very heart of our time together, creating a relaxed and safe space for a couple to feel vulnerable and natural. Only then can I have the privilege of witnessing and documenting your truest chemistry; the succession of tiny moments and unsaids that have made you choose one another in the first place.
I want you to fully live the moment and to enjoy all the fun with your friends and family without the photography taking up too much time and presence.
Consider me a companion for your big day.
Capturing you as you are. Capturing the day as it naturally unfolds.
client values
I’m sure we would be a great fit if:
- Authenticity and real moments hold more value than photography trends, moodboards and instagram’s likes. Because your day is not a photoshoot but a celebration that you’ve found one another.
- You prefer candid photos over perfectly staged-posed photos
- You want your wedding day to be a true expression of who you are as a couple
- You want to feel relaxed, present and joyful on your wedding day
- You value memories and cherish photography for its power to bring you back to a moment and a feeling.
What sets your soul on fire?
Anthony has been working side-by-side with me documenting weddings with 35mm and 120mm cameras. He always brings such a fun-joyful energy to the wedding day. With his Super 8mm camera, he has been making short videos that tell the story of the day with a vintage and nostalgic aesthetic. His love for these creative mediums are a
true reflection of his passion for American counter-culture of the Sixties.
"Two lovers teaming up to capture your day with artful and honest imagery, with a touch of nostalgia. Bringing a fun and caring energy to your wedding."

Neat and I decided to have Gab join us on our wedding adventure in Thailand and it was the best decision ever. She is extremely professional, fun, laidback, and most of all, she loves to take pictures. We felt really comfortable having Gab around. As this was a Thai wedding, it was a completely new experience for both her and us, and she handled it extremely well. There were many unexpected moments and the candid photos that she captured were truly amazing to see. If anything, she felt more like a friend than a photographer which is exactly what we wanted! Thanks for creating these wonderful memories for (AND WITH) us!
GABRIELLE FELT MORE LIKE A FRIEND THAN A PHOTOGRAPHER WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED!
