Fran & Jack’s Mallorca elopement. 🇪🇸
After traveling all the way from America to Mallorca to elope, these two had the most beautiful day.
We started the morning at the amazing Finca Ca N’Ai in Sóller and ended up for an romantic private ceremony at the coast.

Just the two of them, the Mediterranean, a beautiful sunset and a whole lot of happy tears.

I’m so grateful I got to be there and capture these memories for you, Fran & Jack. 🫶🏼
More from this incredible day coming soon ✨🌴

Three years ago, I met A&J spontaneously on Mallorca for a couple shoot and I had no idea that this would eventually lead me here.

A year later, they got engaged — and shortly after, the bride reached out to tell me the news. Fast forward to yesterday, and I had the absolute honor of photographing their wedding day on Menorca. 🇪🇸

From that very first shoot to capturing one of the biggest days of their lives, it feels incredibly special to see how our paths have crossed again.

A beautiful day at Son Blanc Farmhouse, surrounded by their favorite people, under the most perfect Menorcan light — with plenty of laughter and happy tears.

A&J, thank you for trusting me to be there and to preserve these memories for you. It was such a joy to witness this chapter of your story.

Here’s to the next ones. 🤍

A&J — what a day!

A beautiful summer wedding on the stunning island of Vis, Croatia. 🇭🇷
The story of Chelsea & Jacob.

Perched high above the Adriatic Sea, Fort George is one of those places that feels almost unreal — a historic 19th-century fortress surrounded by pine trees, endless sea views, and the kind of secluded atmosphere that makes you forget the rest of the world exists.

For Chelsea & Jacob, this incredible setting became the backdrop for an unforgettable wedding day filled with love, laughter, happy tears, and unforgettable moments.

I had the pleasure of capturing their wedding film alongside photographer Anni Style. While Anni captured the still images, I was there to preserve the atmosphere, emotions, movement, and all those little in-between moments on film.

And honestly… what a place to get married.

Beautiful weather.
A breathtaking view over the Adriatic.
A hidden fortress on top of the island.
And two people celebrating their love surrounded by the people closest to them.

Vis and Fort George made the perfect setting for a truly cinematic destination wedding.

Thank you, Chelsea & Jacob, for letting me be part of your incredible day. 🤍

Two days in Greece with Mattea & Alexandros.
Surrounded by warm Greek light, beautiful details and the people they love most, they celebrated two days full of good energy, laughter and plenty of unforgettable moments.
From the quiet moments before the ceremony to the last dance under the evening lights - it was a real pleasure to be there and document it all.✨

Ktima Deda, just outside Thessaloniki, was the perfect setting for this beautiful weekend. 🇬🇷

Here’s the beginning of their story. 🤍
