Meet the Photographer
About Momo
I wasn't trained as a photographer.
I was trained as a storyteller.
Before becoming a wedding photographer, I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Communication and Journalism, where I learned to observe, listen, and uncover the stories that connect people. My years in journalism taught me that the most meaningful moments are rarely staged—they happen naturally, often in the quiet spaces between the big events.
That perspective continues to shape every wedding I photograph today.
My love for visual storytelling runs deep in my family. My grandmother spent more than fifty years behind a camera, photographing families, developing film by hand, and preserving memories long before the digital age. Watching her work taught me that photographs are more than beautiful images—they become part of a family's history.

Today, I combine that documentary foundation with an editorial eye.
My approach is rooted in authenticity. I am drawn to genuine emotion, meaningful connection, and the moments that cannot be recreated. At the same time, I believe wedding photography should feel refined, intentional, and timeless. The result is imagery that blends honest storytelling with elegant artistry—photographs that feel as beautiful as they are true.
I don't believe a wedding day should revolve around photography.
Instead, photography should support the experience, allowing you to remain fully present while preserving the moments that matter most. Whether I'm quietly documenting an emotional exchange during a ceremony or creating portraits inspired by the elegance of editorial fashion photography, my goal is always the same: to tell your story honestly and beautifully.
As a mother of two, I understand how quickly life changes. Perhaps that's why I value photographs so deeply. Years from now, the images that matter most won't just remind you how everything looked—they will remind you how it felt. The laughter. The anticipation. The people who gathered to celebrate one of the most important days of your life.
Those are the moments I photograph.
Based in New York and New Jersey, I photograph weddings throughout the United States and destinations worldwide. From intimate celebrations to multi-day wedding weekends, I work with couples who value authenticity, artistry, and meaningful storytelling.
Because long after the flowers have faded and the music has ended, photographs become something more than memories.
They become your visual inheritance.
