about
behind the lens
A United Nations photojournalist turned wedding photographer passionate about capturing those lost moments that make us.
Born to a Cuban architect and an American history buff, I was raised with a passion for storytelling and the little details.
I received my BA from Tufts University and was lucky enough to train in long-form narrative photojournalism under World Press Photo Chairman Gary Knight. While based in Rome working for the United Nations, I was hit by a car on my way home from work — what I call my “Regina George” moment.
While spending a year in recovery at home in New York, I began noticing how obsessively people documented every aspect of their life and participated in the world through a screen, but rarely lived fully present in the moment. I have since become passionate about capturing those lost moments that make us who we are.
After photographing over 400 weddings around the world for nearly a decade, I now take on a limited number of events annually.
When I am not shimmying on the dance floor, you can find me working at a non-profit in the Bay Area that eases and ends the crisis of homelessness in our communities. It is a blessing to be able to tell stories for a living.

You can look epic in photos without it feeling forced or cliche. We'll mix the fun candids that capture your personalities with the rad editorial photos that make you go "holy sh*t" - an alternative approach.
