A refined approach to preserving what matters

About Priscila, Southwest, FL
wedding photographer


I didn't always believe in myself. Photography taught me how.

For years, I stood in front of classrooms as an English teacher — guiding other people to find their voice while quietly searching for mine. I loved words. I loved stories. I just hadn't found the medium that would let me tell them the way I saw them in my head. Then I picked up a camera, and everything changed.

Photography didn't just give me a career. It gave me confidence I didn't know I was capable of. Every wedding I photograph is a reminder that showing up fully — boldly, authentically, without apology — is always worth it. I learned that behind a lens. As an editorial wedding photographer, I want every couple I work with to feel exactly that way in front of one.

More About My Approach As a wedding photographer in
Southwest Florida

You know the difference between beautiful and breathtaking - so do I. 

I believe your wedding day should feel like the truest, most alive version of yourself— the silly moments and the bold choices, The mother-son dance that makes everyone reach for a tissue, including me, because I have a son of my own and I feel every single one of those.

I'm based in Southwest Florida — one of the most beautiful places in the world to get married — and I photograph weddings wherever love takes me, bringing the same intention to every frame.

I'm endlessly inspired by fashion, bold design, dark and moody light, and couples who aren't afraid to take up space. The bride in Louboutins who chose them because she wanted to. The groom who thought about every detail of his look. 

I also shoot on 35mm film — because some moments deserve more than a perfect exposure. Film slows everything down, adding grain and warmth. It's the difference between a photo that looks beautiful and one that feels like a memory.

I'm drawn to couples who know exactly who they are and are bold enough to be completely, unapologetically themselves on the most photographed day of their lives. Those are my people. And if any of this sounds like you — we are going to make something extraordinary together. 

Why couples and planners choose to work with me

From our very first conversation, I want you to feel like you already know me. Because by the time your wedding day arrives, you will.

I am intentional about every wedding I take on — which means I limit how many I photograph each year. Not to be exclusive, but because I believe you deserve a photographer who is fully present, fully invested, and fully there for every moment of your day. You're not a date on a calendar to me. You're a story I've been trusted to tell.

On your wedding day, I move quietly and with purpose. I'm not the photographer barking directions across the room. I'm the one beside you, adjusting the light, reading the moment, and waiting for the real thing — the genuine laugh, the stolen glance, the father seeing his daughter for the first time. I document your details like they matter, because they do. I photograph your groom like he deserves to be seen. And I stay until the last dance, because the best moments rarely happen on schedule.

What you'll receive isn't just a gallery of beautiful images. It's the full, honest, cinematic record of one of the most significant days of your life — edited with the same care and intention I brought to every frame.

our Southwest florida Wedding Photography experience

— michonae, 2024 bride

From the initial meeting, my husband and I knew we made an awesome choice by booking her for our wedding. Communication was great and Priscila was very attentive and open to any questions, ideas or concerns we had. My husband and I had zero experience in planning our wedding and Priscila made it feel like a breeze when it came to figuring out the photography. Wedding day was even more fantastic. When I tell you we had zero worries I mean that. Not a care in the world because Priscila was on it. She was beyond accommodating and flexible with any changes in the timeline. She was right there in the hustle and bustle of everything not even breaking a sweat. When we received our photos she definitely DELIVERED! It’s been a week since we received them and we’re still processing through all of them. Can’t beat the quality both with the photography and service. HIGHLY recommend for any of your photography needs.
