I believe in love, I believe it's not just a feeling, it is the most powerful force of the universe.
I believe in stories, good stories are the most beautiful way to preserve and spread the power of love.
I believe in photography, I believe it is the most atemporal way of telling good stories.
I believe in empathy, and that is the entrance door to tell love stories with photographs.
I believe photography is the least important thing on a wedding day, but as time goes by, it becomes the most powerful witness of the love and joy felt that day.
That's why I believe in candid photos, carefully grab a little moment of emotion and togetherness, and preserve it for the days to come. I don't believe in creating epic photos with beautiful poses and perfect smiles. I want people to be themselves to live and share the love and I'll be there to tell the stories.
and my business is all about what I believe.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I live in São Paulo, Brazil. Yes, there's a fee to cover the cost of the trip.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I've been a wedding photogaphers since 2013.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

I think that photography is the least important thing in a wedding day, and it increases it's importance exponentialy as times goes by. So I believe in the least intrusive way of telling the stories of that day, not taking time from the couple and guests to construct epic photos, but to let them be thenselves and celebrate with all the emotion they're feeling... I'll be there to make sure it lasts forever.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

I don't believe in limits on a wedding day. I'll just be there, no time limit, no pictures limit. I'm telling a story and I'll tell the story the way the story needs to be told. My “no limit” package starts in USD 1,000.

Do you have a studio where we can meet in-person?

I don't have a studio, but if your in São Paulo I could meet you where you are. I'm also available for virtual meetings over Skype, Zoom, Google Meets, Facetime or Whatsapp call.

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

I've studied in one of the best institutions of São Paulo and I also became a teacher there. Since 2013 I'm working as a photographer, a photography teacher and a curator, but I'm never stop learning my craft, attending to dozens of workshops, courses and congresses and in 2022 I'll be one of the speakers of Wedding Brasil Congress, the main event on the Latin America.
