this is the art of noticing
It is the biggest privilege to be documenting heirloom moments, and above anything else, I want these moments to be remembered as they were.
That just married feeling, celebrating with her village.
We were running behind schedule, so her bridesmaids stepped in to help remove her rollers while she finished her makeup. I shot wide from behind the girls’ shoulders facing the mirror to capture all the hands involved for the finishing touches of the morning. Something completely unstaged, but a core memory from the rush of the wedding morning.

This aperitivo hour in Italy felt rooted in simplicity, enjoying the in-between moments of the day within the 16th century walls of the venue. You could sense the layers of conversation and the easy rhythm of the guests. I stepped back to let the warmth and richness of the moment unfold naturally, choosing to photograph this on film to honour its story, capturing it with depth and authenticity without smoothing over or modernizing its character.
After a few quiet moments together, they walked toward me as the fading light gently traced their silhouettes. I framed the scene wide to hold onto the openness of the landscape and the quiet weight of the moment before the evening unfolded. It wasn't planned or directed, just a brief pause, full of stillness, calm, and presence.
It was the couple’s first dance, and everyone rose from their seats to watch. While everyone was focused on the two of them, I glanced around and noticed their closest friends and family, all moved, holding onto the moments that led them here. The emotions on their faces were varied: the tearful eyes of her father, the radiant smile of her sister, the joy emitting from their friends. Sometimes, the most powerful view is one behind you.
The bride proudly showing everyone her ring, but he only had eyes for her, completely captivated by her happiness.
Getting dressed in her grandma’s house, a full circle moment connecting where she grew up to where she prepared for her wedding, a deep, timeless feeling. I photographed it on film for an added layer of nostalgia and warmth, allowing the ambient light in the corner to draw you into the scene.
Details from the end of the night, post cake cutting, when the shoes have done their job, the bouquet has been tossed, and the drinks are flowing. I used off-camera flash on 35mm film to create a sharper and more lived-in look, creating a memory rather than a photograph.
Conversations I want to be a part of, and laughter that can be felt through a photo. I shot it wide on off camera flash with lower shutter speed to highlight my subjects while also showing the rest of the ongoing conversations around them.
A quiet pause in her childhood home before meeting her dad to walk down the aisle. I used the leading lines of the stairs as the visual to guide you to the significance of the moment, one that will be thought about every day as her parents move through this familiar space.
While I was capturing the peak emotion of the processional, I glanced back and saw the bride getting into her getaway car and quickly snapped a shot. Looking back, it’s one of my favourite images from the day, the light highlighting the emotion on her face, while the shadows and grain of the 35mm film preserving a sense of mystery, a quiet privilege to an intimate moment.
I photographed this wedding primarily on film to emphasize the contrast between the warm candlelight and the cool tones of the mountains, while capturing the natural movement and atmosphere of the day. The darker, shadowed foreground adds depth, and the curve of the reception tables draws your eye toward the mountains, creating the feeling of being seated right there at the table.
What it’s all about - the conversations, celebrations, the love, the couple.
