Top GLOBAL PHOTOGRAPHER | SALES EXPERT
FEATURED IN VOGUE, NEW YORK TIMES, BRIDES
Through persistent trial and error, and the guidance of many great mentors throughout my career, I learned how to refine my branding, master paid and organic marketing, and successfully book high-end weddings.
After 11 years in the industry, I now consistently book weddings with packages starting at $24k and beyond.
My journey, like many others, began with booking $1k-$6k packages just to get my name out there. From there, I discovered the strategies that helped me transition into the luxury wedding market and elevate my business. Now, I help wedding planners, designers, and creatives around the world scale their businesses and book luxury clients that value their expertise.
