Old Shangai , China

I have no idea why I never posted this shoot. This is Valeri and her love—though, sadly, I lost their information when I deleted WeChat, and his name escapes me.

Still, the beauty of this session remains. The preserved streets, the stunning architecture, and the quiet intimacy of their connection make this a timeless moment frozen in time.

Suggested song: "Aquellos Ojos Verdes" by Nat King Cole, from In The Mood for Love. Let the music take you there.

Brooklyn Sunrise, NYC

I first met Ricardo years ago when I took his BYU graduation photos. We lost touch until last year when, during a trip to NYC for Fashion Week and a wedding meeting, I needed a place to stay. Ricardo kindly offered his home, and we reconnected, chatting about life, work, and his then-girlfriend—who he hinted I might photograph one day.

Fast forward to his Santorini proposal (yes, Santorini!), and he reached out for engagement photos in NYC. We spent a half day exploring iconic spots—starting at sunrise in Dumbo, then Brooklyn Bridge, and finishing at Bethesda Terrace in Central Park.

This session wasn’t just about photos—it was an experience. The day before, we went shopping, styled outfits, and built trust. More than a shoot, it was about storytelling, connection, and making them feel truly themselves.

Thad & Aren /SLC & Sand Dunes

Thaddeus Maximus and Aren Muse—one like a Roman Emperor, the other a Greek Hero. This incredible couple was a dream to photograph, embracing all my wild ideas.

We spent the afternoon capturing their love, starting in downtown Salt Lake and ending in the stunning dunes of Little Sahara. Everything—the outfits, the locations, the emotions—came together perfectly. I’m so grateful to have met them and told their story.

For some reason, Tuyo by Rodrigo Amarante played in my head while shooting in Little Sahara. It’s in Spanish, so they might not understand it, but it just fits.

Update: Honored to have this shoot published in Junebug Weddings and Yahoo Lifestyle!

CHICAGO DOWNTOWN

This was the third time for me doing this tour, I just love the city of Chicago. Seeing it through my lens with Gabo and Jada was so much fun. We had a moody day with a bit of rain, despise that, we visited some of the landmarks of the city and, made a quick stop to get some burgers! I hope you can get a vibe of one of my favorite cities in USA.

Suggested song “Sweet Creature” by Harry Styles.
