Hello. Alo. Ciao. Hallöchen. Merhaba. Hola. Salut.
One of my favorite pastimes is flipping through old photos with others, laughing over our old fashion choices and how young we looked. Even if the photos have flaws, they spark memories and the stories begin to flow. They are like little time machines, allowing us to relive our past and see how far we’ve come.
Fueled by a love for nostalgia, people, and parties, I am consistently drawn to wedding photography. It encapsulates the perfect fusion of breathtaking locations, authentic emotional connections, and exquisite fashion.
I find purpose in being there with you, capturing the love and essence of your day—those fleeting moments you might have missed in the whirlwind: your windswept veil, a knowing look, the light playing across your champagne glasses, intense hugs, a hand tucking back a loose curl, your designer heels carelessly tossed aside while you dance, grandma giving your aunty some side-eye, the rustling sea in the background. I tirelessly hunt to capture these kinds of moments, preserving them for you.
Languages spoken: English, German, Croatian, and a touch of Turkish.
Based in Europe, available everywhere.
My favorite American teacher affectionately dubbed me 'My Metropolitan Girl’ when I moved from Europe to the States as a kid. Adapting to new customs was complicated, and weirdly I was most offended that donuts could be eaten for breakfast.
Since then, I've evolved into a Jack of all Trades kind of gal, having worked in motion pictures, photography, fashion, interior design, the diplomatic world and more. I discovered that my diverse cultural and career background is an asset in navigating the nuances of weddings, as I’m quick to read a room, easy to connect with, and make adjustments on the fly.
I started photographing weddings in 2016, and after years of traversing the world for events and personal adventures, I find myself back in Europe—more American than before, yet influenced by having lived in Taiwan, Turkey, and Mexico, and adding my Croatian heritage into the mix.
My husband Tony, our mischievous cat, Ichabod Crane, and I live near a wooded lake in western Germany.
I’ll occasionally have a donut for breakfast now, but don’t tell my mum.
Why I Shoot Film:
I prefer analog film as a medium, as it possesses a certain je ne sais quoi, capturing the mood, atmosphere, and light in an ethereal, dreamy, yet imperfectly real way.
There also is something tangible about the experience as you slow down to focus and hold your breath for the negative to soak in as much light as possible.
My couples love those moments when on their wedding day we steal away to capture their love, far from the madding crowd. Getting back to the party refreshed and ready to dance is an added bonus.
