“Atmospheric”
Many years ago one of my brides mentioned the “Atmospheric” undertone in my imagery and I have embraced that term since. What sets me apart is my goal is to make sure the feeling is captured while really paying attention to everything surrounding me. Don’t worry, we will get those traditional shots too, but I wont turn you into a walking cliché. I focus on the real interactions with you and your guests, and everything in between.

If you are looking for a list of attributes for “my ideal client” or who you should be, sorry to say you wont find that here. Some photographers and vendors clearly state they only want to work with certain“types” of people and their sites look like the same wedding over and over again.
No thank you, that is not for me.
I am happy and honored to work with whoever wants to work with me and I love that my couples are essentially a reflection of the people who I have surrounded myself with even in my personal life. Diverse in lifestyles, interests, cultures, careers etc…but what brought each to me was the way they wanted their wedding photographed and the comfort knowing that their photographer will respect them and their loved ones, and the choices they made for their celebration.

Hi! I do all the things
MIKE
Mike isnt apart of the creative stuff, but some of my couples end up meeting him since he is a chauffeur extraordinaire. Especially for city sessions or weddings when I would rather not worry about parking. He also helps to hold my stuff if needed. Whattaguy!
(also my husband, to clarify)
Random “About Me” Things:
• I did not NOT grow up with a camera in my hand knowing I wanted to be a photographer *gasp*
• I started with photography by photographing Punk/Hardcore bands when I was 16 or 17
• Eventually I stopped photographing those shows as I started transitioning this to be my main job because I didn’t want my camera gear to get broken by someone stagediving
• Being apart of that music community helped me cultivate friendships with people all over the world, and gave me lots of travel opportunities. Those experiences carried over into weddings helping me realize real organic moments, being comfortable surrounded by new people all the time, and traveling in general
• I am CPR/AED Certified (everyone should take classes even if you don’t plan on keeping certifications!)
• Because of my name, many people ask my ethnicity/background: I’m Puerto Rican
• I’m a First generation college graduate
• Like many, that bachelors degree in science has yet to be professionally utilized since I decided to go in a completely different direction. No complaints here!
• In 2017 I discovered I am allergic to nail polish. I can get away with it on my toenails, but rarely on my fingernails. Very tragic, I know 🙁
• I’m an Animal Lover, sometimes amateur bird enthusiast, and vegan
