Why did you decide to become a Photographer/Videographer?

I became a Photographer/Videographer because I genuinely enjoy sharing the wonderful stories of people! Every person, couple, and family has a unique journey, and I love capturing those moments in a way that brings their story to life. Whether through a heartfelt exchange of vows, a joyful celebration, or a quiet, intimate moment, I document the emotions and experiences that mean the most to people.

What is your favorite thing about being a Photographer/Videographer?

I love impulsive moments while on the job, especially during that golden hour shoot. There’s something magical about how the light changes, creating the perfect setting for spontaneous and breathtaking shots. Whether it’s a couple laughing or a wholly unexpected but beautiful moment unfolding right before me as the sun sets behind them, those little surprises make each shoot exciting and rewarding.

What is a favorite memory from an event you’ve shot?

One of my favorite memories is when several guests were dancing to “Shout” by the Isley Brothers. The energy was electric—everyone was laughing, singing along, and completely letting loose on the dance floor. It was one of those moments where you could feel the pure joy in the room, and I loved capturing those expressions and interactions. Those are the kind of moments that make events so special!

What is your favorite part of a wedding night?

My favorite part of a wedding is capturing beautiful moments during the golden hour! There’s something so romantic about that soft, warm light—it makes every moment look like a scene from a movie. Seeing couples take a breath, step away from the crowd, and soak in the moment’s beauty together is always a special part of the day.

What is something you’d consider unique about yourself?

A unique fact about me is that I play the trombone! It’s such a fun and expressive instrument, and I love that it adds a bit of extra rhythm and creativity to my life. Whether capturing moments behind the camera or making music, I always find ways to bring passion and artistry into everything I do.
