Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
One of the most memorable weddings I can imagine is in Montenegro, with a ceremony overlooking the stunning Bay of Kotor. The couple exchanges vows on a cliff as the sun sets behind the mountains, while guests enjoy local wine and music. The mix of dramatic scenery and intimate moments makes it unforgettable.

What about your business are you most proud of?
I’m proud of turning real wedding moments into memories that last a lifetime.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Focus on what truly matters to you as a couple. Your wedding day is about celebrating your love—don’t get lost in the small details or what others expect. Prioritize moments, people, and experiences that make the day meaningful, and everything else will fall into place.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
One of my favorite personal touches is when couples incorporate meaningful details that reflect their personalities or love story—like handwritten vows, family heirlooms, or unique traditions. These little touches make the day truly memorable and create images full of emotion and story.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
We start with a face-to-face or online meeting to get to know each other, discuss your story, and your vision for the day. Once you’re ready, we sign the contract to secure your date. I also include an engagement session to capture you both in a relaxed setting and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. A quick catch-up before the wedding ensures everything is on track. On the day, I stay unobtrusive, capturing candid moments while gently guiding family and couple portraits. After the wedding, I carefully edit and curate your photos, delivering a collection that tells your story authentically and beautifully.
What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?
The one photo I think every couple should take is a quiet, candid moment together—just the two of you, away from the crowd. It could be a shared laugh, a gentle hug, or a simple gaze into each other’s eyes. These intimate moments capture the true essence of your relationship and become a timeless memory.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
The most original photo I’ve been asked to take was of a “flying bride” — the groom and groomsmen lifted her into the air, and her dress flowed beautifully in the wind. It was such a fun, spontaneous moment that perfectly mixed elegance with laughter!
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
Embrace it! Rain can bring a touch of romance and charm to your wedding day!
Describe how you got into photography.
I first fell in love with photography while taking holiday photos—capturing beautiful places, little details, and the people I met along the way. What began as a hobby soon grew into a passion for documenting real moments and emotions. That love for storytelling eventually led me to wedding photography, where I now capture the same sense of joy, connection, and authenticity in every celebration.
