Engaged couple kisses at Lake Como, Italy



LOVERS, ELOPEMENTS, & INTIMATE WEDDINGS


I bet you want photos that you want photos you can feel, right? Windswept hair. Squinty-eyed smiles. Tender kisses. Your gentleness, joy, and your quirks, laughter, and love documented in a real way. If you love messy, imperfect, wild + free life as much as I do, we might just be the perfect fit.

Chances are you're over the awkward-looking photos and are looking for a photographer that gets YOU (and doesn't put you in uncomfortable poses.) I promise i'll never ask you to "turn your head slightly to the right and tuck your chin in" like the photographers did when we took yearbook photos. Instead, I'm hear to learn about the authentic, true, imperfectly perfect humans you are together and capturing your relationship on camera. Each love story is completely unique and different to one another. There is so much beauty in each and every partnership. So many kinds of love.


I'm here for your love story.

All shapes, sizes, colors, ages, and love is and celebrated here.

Let's celebrate all that you are

The Process


I want to hear how you two fell in love, your quirks, and what makes you two you! The better we know each other the more comfortable you two will be, and the better I can capture your authentic relationship on camera. Once we get to know each other, I can truly connect to your story and document your day that much better.


I want to give you photos where you not only say: YES, that's US but also, holy guacamole, do we really look that good?!?! My priority is always to make you feel as comfortable as possible, even if you have 0 experience in front of a camera (which by the way, most of the couples I work with have never had a couples session!) That being said, let's give you something real, where the photos not only look but feel like you.

FAQ

01/04

where are you located?

I'm primarily based in Offenburg, Germany (a 30 minute drive from Strasbourg, France, so i'm there pretty often too) and spend my summers in Lombardy, Italy (Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, Milan!) I also go back to the USA every other year to visit the family, so send me a message and we can see if i'll already be in your neck of the woods.

what are your prices?

Check out the 'pricing' page to check out starting rates and reach out via the 'contact' page to ask for my full price guide loaded with information! After you reach out, I'll get back to you within 48 hours.

do you travel?

Absolutely! I've traveled (mostly solo) to 20+ countries now, so it's safe to say I'm comfortable getting myself from point A to point B- even if that's the other side of the world! Do you have dreams of getting married in Sicily, the Sahara desert, or the dreamy coast of South Africa? *happy dance* Count me IN!

do you photograph lgbtq?

YES. LGBTQ+ are always loved & celebrated here!

you're my girl! what do I do next?

Send me a message on the 'Contact' tab and fill out the form! I'll send you a full price guide within 48 hours and we'll go over all the details about your big day or we'll dream up the perfect portrait session together!

ahhh what do I wear for our photoshoot?!

Once you book, I'll send over an outfit guide to help you with all the questions you might have and important aspects to think about when choosing your outfit!

jo, i'm awko taco in front of the camera

I GOT you! I think the most important is to dress in clothing / do things that make you feel like yourself. That includes clothing, which I'll go over that in the outfit guide. But beyond that, we can get fun photos of things you LOVE to do that make you feel totally in your element. Are you into longboarding? Is hiking your jam? Playing guitar? Are you most comfortable in the kitchen or brewing some coffee? Lets incorporate that into your session! I'm all about creating happy, safe, and silly environment where you feel comfortable- That way, we can create images that are authentic and special to you. At the shoot, you're not just being shoved in awkward old-school prom poses, we're actually gonna have some fun. :)
