Hi!! I think our personal connection is so important, so here's a bit about me. I've lived in Los Angeles almost my entire life. I love PCH so much and how my hair smells after being near the ocean. I love bougainvilleas, magnolia trees, and the smell of a Jasmine bush (also a Gardenia!!). I'm Lebanese, and we moved here from Colombia when I was about 5yrs old. I'm trilingual and multicultural and those are some of my favorite things about me.
Growing up, I spent hours sifting through old shoe boxes under our beds looking at photos of our lives as babies and of my parents' lives before us. All the photos were of course shot on film (that's why I'm thrilled to be able to include film photography in my wedding collections, it adds the PERFECT amount of sweet nostalgia). I loved the idea of looking through life snap shots while I held this physical paper in my hands. It truly is magical to me. (I think all photos should be printed for this reason alone)! My dad bought me my first camera when I was about ten years old, it was a Canon point-and-shoot, I wish I remembered the model. 5 years ago I started documenting couples from their proposal, to their marriage, to their beautiful growing family... I've not looked back since.
My style could be described as photojournalistic, true-to-life with a bit of an editorial and creative charm. I'm in love with telling stories via photography, in a comfortable and natural way (no awkwardness here). Nothing can beat being able to photograph the genuine big (and in-between) moments a couple and their friends and family expel during the special day of celebrating their love. It's incredible that I get to translate those emotions onto images, both using digital and film photography. Being behind the photos that will be sifted through for generations is a complete honor and blessing.
I am thrilled to do this and I'm very excited to meet you and tell your story!
