THE wORK

Not moments.

Scenes, as they unfold.

The exhale after the ceremony. The glance across the table.
The hand that reaches without thinking.

I photograph what happens between the moments you planned.
Those will be your favourite images.

THE Photographer

I see what happens, before it happens.

Half German, Half Italian. Trained in Theatre, Film & Media Studies. For years I moved through the world as a flight attendant- entering rooms cold, reading atmospheres in seconds.

That instinct is in every photograph I make.

Selected scenes.

Each collection below represents a wedding day as it actually felt- not as it was arranged. Real light. Real moments. Real people who forgot I was there.

let us begin

A wedding day happens once. The first look across the room. The last song.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year , so that none of these moments go unwitnessed.

If your date is still open, I would love to hear from you.

Your date, your light.
