My Editing Style, Gear & Best Practices
I edit with a soft, golden touch while staying true to color—skin tones stay natural, greens are slightly dimmed for a more refined, cinematic feel, and everything comes together with a clean, timeless look. It’s a true-to-color, golden-toned style that feels both editorial and real.
When it comes to gear, I don’t mess around. I roll in fully loaded with three Nikon cameras, my favourite lenses, and both on- and off-camera flashes to tackle any lighting situation—though I’m a sucker for that beautiful natural light whenever I can get it.
Backing up your photos is just as important as snapping them. After your big day, your images get safely stored on external drives and in the cloud—and I keep them backed up for two years. So, no worries, your memories are in good hands. You can trust me to be prepared, professional, and totally invested in capturing your story—while making the whole process fun and easy.
Spoiler Alert:
We’re Gonna Have Fun!
Think of it as an adventure with your goofy, third wheel BFF—who just happens to have a camera glued to their hand. I’m all about ditching the stiff, formal vibes and turning your shoot into something that actually feels like fun. No awkward posing marathons or forced smiles here—just real laughs, happy chaos, and moments that feel like you. Whether we’re chasing sunsets, hiking to epic views, or twirling in the rain, I’ll be right there hyping you up and making sure you feel totally at ease. Even if you’re the kind of person who usually runs from cameras, don’t worry—I’ve got you. I specialize in turning “I’m so awkward in photos” into “OMG I love these.” Because it’s not just about beautiful pictures—it’s about walking away with a story you loved living.
"Chances are, I’ll tear up at some point during your wedding—either behind the camera or later when I’m editing your gallery and picking the perfect song for your teaser. It always gets me. I love love that much, and honestly, that’s why I do what I do—because capturing your crazy, beautiful love story is the best kind of adventure." - Athena
