Growing up, I always dreamt of having a life filled with art, adventures and love. For several years, I was comfortable in what seemed safe and secure. I secretly hoped for a future outside of a 9-5 job but wasn’t sure if it would ever come true, until I followed my heart and let myself dream. Thanks to my best friend and husband, who gifted me with my first professional camera, I was able to start my adventures. That moment when I held the camera in my hand, I started tearing up because I knew my dreams were about to come true. With little experience and barely any training, I started pouring my heart and soul into this art.
Today I still approach every wedding with the same excitement, curiosity, and determination as when I first started. Every couple and every wedding is unique in its own way and I'm here to capture your love story with authenticity and passion.
With over 350 weddings photographed and 12 years of being married, I truly believe a wedding is the beginning of a beautiful journey together.

One of the biggest blessings I had in life was growing up in Germany in the city, yet playing and working in my parents' vineyards, and experiencing various cultures my whole life. It truly thought me to respect others and enjoy life to the fullest. Capturing your wedding day isn't just a job for me, it is my passion that allows me to approach every wedding with excitement and determination to deliver the best photos yet.
When I’m not behind the camera, you will find me spending time with my family and Goldendoodle, exploring the mountains, going to the movies with my husband, or sipping on a hot chocolate with friends in Paris.
Growing up in Europe and traveling the world since I was 2 years old gave me a true appreciation for people, customs, culture, and life around the globe.
