Hey lovely! I'm Claudia — a hopeless romantic, coffee enthusiast, and film-camera lover who adores being in the presence of love. I've always been drawn to stories that linger long after they're over, whether that's a well-loved photograph, a handwritten letter, or a moment you wish you could relive forever. That's what first drew me to wedding photography, and it's still my favorite part of this job today.
Your love deserves to be remembered in a way that feels timeless, romantic, and unmistakably you. My approach blends candid storytelling with a cinematic eye, creating imagery that is both artful and emotionally honest. I pay attention to the in-between moments like the way you look at each other when no one else is watching, the laughter that catches you by surprise, the movement, atmosphere, and little details that make your story unique.
Whether I'm photographing a wedding, an engagement session, or a couples session, my goal is to create an experience that feels effortless and natural. I'll guide you when needed, encourage movement over stiff poses, and help you stay present with each other. The result is a collection of photographs that preserves not just how your story looked, but how it felt—filled with the emotion, nostalgia, and connection that you'll carry with you for years to come.
 
 
Oh my goodness!!! I don't I can put into words how much I LOVE!!! So magical! You are so talented. These photos we will treasure forever. Thank you so much!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
 
 
We've never had professional photos taken before. Will you pose us?
Absolutely! Most if not all of my couples have been in front of a professional camera before. Rather than placing you in stiff poses, I'll guide you with prompts, movement, and direction that help you feel comfy and connected. Think of it as we're creating you're own rom-com! My goal is for your session to feel more like spending time together than performing for the camera.
Do you travel?
YES! While I am based in Richmond, Virginia I am more than happy to meet you wherever you are.
How would you describe your photography style?
My work blends candid storytelling with a cinematic approach. I'm drawn to genuine emotion, meaningful details, and the beauty of small moments. The result is imagery that feels timeless, romantic, and full of life. Preserving photographs that feel like heirlooms.
How far in advance should we book you?
I typically book weddings anywhere from 6-18 months in advance, depending on the season. That said, it's always worth reaching out as soon as you can to see if I have availibility!
For engagement and couples sessions, I require at least one month’s notice so we have enough time to plan something thoughtful, intentional, and aligned with your vision. That said, it’s always worth reaching out—even if your timeline is shorter—to see if I have availability!
 
When will we receive our photos?
Wedding galleries are typically delivered within 5-10 weeks, depending on the season. For sessions it is 4 weeks! Each image is thoughtfully edited to reflect the feeling of your day so when you receive your gallery, it feels like stepping back into those moments all over again.
 
We're ready to move forward! How do we get started?!
I'm so honored to hear that! Once you inquire, I'll send over more information and we'll make sure I have your date available. From there, we'll talk through your vision, what you're dreaming of, and how we can bring it to life!
If we're a good fit (which is SO exciting), I'll send over a contract and an invoice which is 30% to officially book and retain me for your desired date. Once that's completed, we will start planning your wedding or session together. I can't wait to hear your love story.
