Q&A

Connect with this vendor by getting to know them beyond their work.

Couples hire you because…

Three reasons: 1) I keep the editing natural, so what you see is what you get, no funny filters. 2) My personality. I like to keep things light-hearted, fun AF, and spontaneous. Bad jokes are always welcome ;) I think of this as a holistic EXPERIENCE built for you as a unique couple, not just a photo session. 3) I'm legally allowed to work in all of the EU, no visas required, and no jet lag! So I won't have troubles getting to you.

What’s your favorite aspect of your job?

I love being with my couples. Planning with them is fun, and same with editing their gallery, but actually getting to be present with them during their most precious moments is such a highlight, and I will never stop loving what I do because of it.

What is your communication style?

It can be difficult to find people who communicate in Europe up to the expectations of North Americans (for better or worse!) I make sure that we're always in contact and I do everything I can to make sure we have a clear plan of action. I like to plan ahead, and have a plan A, B, and C ready for the day. I'm always ready to pivot when need be, and make sure my couples are prepared for anything. Last minute decisions are welcome, and sometimes necessary with bad weather ;)
