Hi! I'm Fabiana

Elopement Wedding and couple photographer born and raised in Brazil with Italian origines and an Irish heart who fell in love about documenting love!

Half Brazilian - half Italian, I am an immigrant, a traveler and a storyteller. Nine years ago, I left Brazil in search of a meaningful life. After living across three countries and exploring various career paths, I finally realised what truly fulfils me: photography. It took me a while to return to this path, even though my very first contact with a professional camera was back in the 90's while studying cinema and photography at university. But as they say, it is never too late to begin — and here I am.

 

For the past eight years, I’ve been documenting love stories and every single time I am amazed by the singularity and uniqueness of each couple. The raw passion and deep companionship they share are what drives me to craft the most personal, bespoke, and beautiful memories of them.

 

Just like me, my love portraits are intense, aesthetically dramatic, real, deep, and emotional. All these elements are exactly the ones I pursue when I'm documenting a love story. 

 

My style is the result of my passion for nature, cinema, photojournalism and black and white old photographs. My photography is the sum of what I experienced while living in three different countries soaking up every single drop of culture and local costumes I could.

 

Somehow, being what it called "global citizen", made me understand better the universal languages that rule the world we live in:  love, comprehension, compassion, respect. These are values that I carry with me and bring to my work, which has undoubtedly become a very special way to bring happiness into the lives of those I have the fortune to create with.

 

If you share these same vision, I would be honoured to help you craft the most unforgettable memories of your special day.

My Approach

Your wedding day is a rare adventurous. The most breathtaking memories always happen in between those fleeting moments you didn't see it coming.

As a documentary/candid photographer, I approach each love story as a quiet loving observer. My work relies entirely on natural light and my focus is wholly on spontaneous unposed reality - freezing the joy, intimacy and vulnerability. I do not interfere or force moments.

 

My compromise with you will be, at the end of the day, to give you images that not only feel personal and deeply moving but also honest, alive and full of character.

 Documentary and Truth Seeking

Your wedding day is a living, breathing ritual, not a theatrical performance or a series of frozen, artificial poses. It is an effortlessly chapter of your story meant to be felt deeply, not just staged for a camera.

 

As a documentary/candid photographer, I look for truth rather than perfection.

 

By following the gentle, natural flow of your day, I let every moment unfold effortlessly to capture the most sincere memories of your wedding.

Photographs shouldn’t just describe—they should be felt. They should be heard. A photograph is a visual legacy: through it, you hear the laughter, feel the touch, and relive the heartbeat of the moment.

As a documentary and a lifestyle photographer, I find the deepest truths in the contrast. Guided by light and shadows, I look for the beauty hidden within them delivering images that translate the exact emotion of the moment lived.

Your story isn't just another love story; it is unique, rich, passionate, dramatic, deep and real and it deserves to be told like that.​​

Drawn by light, captured as it feels
