✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • I am a Brazilian-born Australian dreamer, the youngest of six and a dog lover. Summer is my favourite season. I love travelling, around the world and meeting people from everywhere, learning about different cultures and exploring around chasing new adventures.

    So becoming an international photographer makes total sense and suits very much to my personality.

    Weddings are full of love, laughs, good music, happy people and lots of fun. It’s the best vibe for a work environment, don’t you agree?

    I have degrees in Psychology and PublIcity, and I believe my deep interest in both subjects is what makes my photography unique: I am a people person with high aesthetic standards.

    I moved to Australia in 2015. I actually went to Sydney to visit my sister 2 years before moving for good. I fell in love with the country and the wedding style, Intimate, daylight, relaxed, yet sophisticated.

    So I decided that my international career would start there. In 2019 I became a citizen, I like to say I am now a BrOzzie! I also have a Jewish Portuguese background and I just got my European passport. Now I would say I am a citizen of the world.

    And I am excited to come for another season in Europe!

    If you think we are a good match send me a message and let’s make it work!

    I would love to know about your plans and be part of your magic day.

  • I have over 8 years of experience in the wedding industry working in Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Peru and some countries in Europe like Spain, Italy, France, Amsterdam, England and Germany.

    I am an expert on intimate stylish weddings.

    Up to 100 people, a maximum of 12 hours, and photographing it all by myself.

    Even if I can offer second shooters, I prefer to work on my own, it makes it more intimate and the results are more consistent and natural.

    Let’s chat and I will let you know if I would recommend a second shooter for your day.

  • I hope my clients are people person just like me and we will vibe together on their wedding day.

    I hope we can have a genuine friendly connection and it goes smoothly the whole day. I want you to feel like you have your mate there with you.

    I love it when the couple have different backgrounds and put some cultural rituals on their wedding day.

    Having a couple that come from different cultures like an English man marrying a French girl is fun to watch.

    I also love it when the couple decides to go for something unconventional, or I get the vibe that they will go wild on the dance floor!

    If you bring your pet will love you even more.

  • Intimated, Romantic, Soulful, Natural, I would say a stylish photojournalism with an editorial touch, not posed.

    I intend to deliver more than photos but amazing memories.

    While we are together I will choose the best spots and lighting then we will have fun together, with natural directions, and put you and your loved ones very close!

    No awkward poses or crazy angles, just something real like you!

    Honestly, it is not about me, it’s about you and I will light up what you really intend to show on your wedding day.

  • It is also natural and sophisticated, it’s bright colours with a fuji film discrete twist, respecting the real skin tones and the palette colour of your day.

    Light green tones, not desaturated.

    You can also expect classic black and white, I hope you love it as much as I do.

  • I will be already travelling around Europe. Let’s chat, I will do my best to keep it low and all included.

    It will depend on where I will be based and the date. Book your call and we will make it happen.
