About
Weddings, Elopements, and Beyond
As a DC wedding photographer, I capture everything from intimate elopements to grand celebrations and destination weddings. Whether it’s vows whispered in a hidden garden or a ballroom filled with family and friends, I strive to document not just the details but the emotions—the laughter, tears, and quiet in-between moments that define your day.
I’m a photographer in DC, but my story began in Germany, where I was born and raised. My photography journey has taken me across Europe and the U.S., shaping not only my perspective but also the way I see and capture love stories. Today, I feel privileged to call Washington, DC my home—a city full of history, beautiful architecture. and diverse culture that constantly inspires my work.
My photography is more than just images; it’s about creating visual narratives that speak to the heart. Every couple has a story uniquely their own, filled with personalities, emotions, and quiet moments of connection. My goal is to preserve those memories in a timeless, romantic, and true-to-color style that will remain as meaningful decades from now as they are today.
Timeless, Romantic, and True-to-Color
I believe photography is most meaningful when it feels personal. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know my couples, guiding them with ease and creating a relaxed experience that allows them to be fully present. Every image reflects not only your love, but also the art we build together.
A Personal Connection
If you’re looking for a photographer in DC with international roots, a timeless and romantic style, and a genuine passion for storytelling, I would be honored to capture your love story.

Held
I was born and raised in Germany, though my roots are a blend of cultures. I’m half Brazilian and was lovingly cared for by a Colombian nanny during my childhood. Over the years, I’ve lived in Germany, the UK, and several places across the U.S., including Utah, New Jersey, and now Washington, DC, which I proudly call home.
Outside of photography, I find joy in simple, creative things. I love playing board games, cozy video games, and I building botanical LEGOs. Recently, I’ve taken up crocheting, and I also share my days with my sweet little cat named Mochi.
But above everything else, my favorite part of life is my husband, Jeff, who I married in March 2025. Together we’ve built a home that blends our German-Brazilian and Asian-American backgrounds. Together we love to travel and go on road trips with Jeff's classic convertable car.
