It was an incredible experience to photograph the It was an incredible experience to photograph the wedding of @mrnigelng and @sabriiines. Their three-day celebration in Sintra was a beautiful reflection of heritage, love, and community, and I feel deeply grateful to have witnessed it.

Of course, no wedding story is complete without a little behind-the-scenes moment. Mine came in the form of a very dramatic wardrobe malfunction… a massive rip in my pants, right in front of a group of comedians which was most likely the result of an overly aggressive photo stance. Let’s just say I’m glad the laughter wasn’t only reserved for the speeches. Thankfully a groomsman came to my rescue with a pair of lulu lemons. 

Nigel and Sabrina, thank you for trusting me with such an extraordinary occasion. It was a privilege to capture the joy, the traditions, and the many unforgettable moments of your wedding weekend with my team. 

Thank you @vogueweddings & @shelbywax for the wonderful feature!

Thank you for this honor @thewed. I never imagined Thank you for this honor @thewed. I never imagined this milestone would be part of my story, and it truly feels surreal. None of this would have been possible without the incredible support I’ve received along the way. 

First and foremost, I want to thank God. Every opportunity, every moment of growth, is a blessing I don’t take for granted. Without His guidance, love, and grace I would be lost. 

To my wonderful boys and wife …your love and encouragement mean everything to me. You are my entire world. 

To my parents… the sacrifices you made so I could dream bigger shaped who I am today. I still remember the day I told you I wanted to leave behind engineering to pursue photography. You told me you just wanted to see me happy and bought me my first pro camera to start my business. I love you both more than words can describe. 

To my clients… your trust, your stories, and your kindness are what fuel my passion. Each wedding I shoot leaves me inspired by your journeys and encouraged by your thoughtful words. Love each and every one of you.

To my photo team… this recognition belongs to all of us. I am a product of your creativity, collaboration, and shared vision. You guys are the best and I appreciate even the non wedding days and moments in your company. 

To my fellow vendors, artisans, and makers whose talents bring my images to life… your craft, vision and hard work elevates every frame I capture. It’s an honor  to work with each of you. 

This year brought its share of challenges, and I’m grateful to every one of you from the photo community who stepped up and supported me through them. You know who you are, and I love each of you.

To my agency @luago.agency… your guidance and trust over the past six months have allowed me to grow so much. Thank you for making space for me to be present with my loved ones and for believing in my journey.

To everyone who supports my work… thank you for seeing me, understanding my perspective, and resonating with the stories I tell through my photographs. Your connection means more than you know.

With love and gratitude.

Honored to be on @thewed’s Top 40 Wedding Photog Honored to be on @thewed’s Top 40 Wedding Photographers in the US list. Thank you for including me in such inspiring company.

What makes this especially meaningful is seeing so many names on the list of artists who were right there when I first started this journey nearly 15 years ago. To share this recognition alongside friends and peers I’ve grown with over the years is something truly special.

Most of all, thank you to my couples for trusting me with your stories and allowing me to do the work I care so deeply about. None of this would be possible without you.
