About

I am a hopeless romantic.

My affair with the lens began at 16 when my brother brought home a used Canon A1 from a pawn shop. My persistent attraction to the art of photography led me to the Savannah College of Art and Design where I received a BFA in Photography. I then ventured to Asheville, NC where I was surrounded by a creative community of artists and found a niche preserving timeless images of love-classics that are as beautiful for a 50th anniversary as for the first.

I find great fulfillment working with couples who understand the importance of documenting the joyous, tender, ecstatic, and unexpected moments that come along as they begin life together. From setting the stage, to snapping the shutter, to presenting flawless retouching and post-production work, I aim to capture a unique and beautiful representation of your wedding experience.

Timeless, Editorial, and Incredibly Easy to Work With!

Paola captured our wedding beautifully! She made us feel so natural in our poses and caught the most stunning candid moments. Her style is so editorial and timeless, and her use of flash photography adds the perfect vintage touch. She was also incredibly flexible and easy to work with, which made the experience even better. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!

Paola is Wonderful!

Working with Paola was flawless. We could already tell from viewing her website and portfolio that we liked her work, but then we met with her and realized that she's also such a kind person. She made us feel very comfortable being photographed at both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. We especially loved that she shoots a mix of digital and film. Highly recommend hiring Paola!

Stunning Wedding Photos

We are overwhelmed by how magnificent the photo gallery Paola created for our wedding is. There are so many photos that are actual masterpieces. It's impossible to even choose a top 20. We heard the following feedback: "This looks like it should be in Vogue." "Your photographer was incredible." and "Can I have her contact info!?" We have memories and art to last forever.

A joy to work with!

My husband and I loved having Paola as our wedding photographer. We are SO happy that we booked her. She was a pleasure to work with and helped make the day so special. Her energy was positive and fun, and our guests, family and wedding party were very complimentary of her!

Not to mention, the photos are beautiful. She scoped out our location ahead of time and picked the perfect spots to use for our shoot. I can't recommend Paola enough!

Deserves Six Stars!

Hiring Paola to take my engagement proposal photos was a no-brainer. She was very helpful in the planning, such a delight to work with day-of, and the photos are magnificent! Far exceeded my expectations, which were already very high! I’d recommend Paola to anyone who’s in need of the best photographer around to perfectly capture a once-in-a-lifetime moment!

Paola is everything!!!

You can stop your search…Paola is the photographer you have been looking for!
Paola not only has an amazing eye, but also truly cares about your special day. Paola was the wedding photographer for my wife and I, and she went above and beyond in every way. This top notch treatment started before we even reached the venue. With our first look, Paola creatively orchestrated and captured this once in a lifetime glance. She also took the time to photograph the details of our outfits from our jewelry to our shoes.
Paola diligently creates artistic pictures of people that show an individual’s true personality. The photos did not look staged, but instead were pictures of the wedding’s most memorable moments where people were shining as themselves.
Most of all we appreciated Paola’s professionalism and genuineness. Many aspects of the wedding process can feel geared towards hetero couples, but Paola went above and beyond to make sure our Queer wedding was just as special as everyone else’s without any hesitation or discomfort. Paola is a spectacular photographer and a person everyone would want to have as a part of their wedding.

Hire Paola - a dream to work with, and an INCREDIBLE talent

To say we were thrilled with Paola would be the understatement of the century. From the very first consult, we knew Paola was the photographer for us… the images she creates are intimate, creative, and beautiful, and she captures the small moments that make big days so special. And not only is she an incredible artist, she is a delight to be around - spending two hours with her for our engagement session, as well as the majority of our special day, was a true pleasure. She’s patient, flexible, and her endurance is unmatched. Her notes on our timeline were perfect, and she returned our sneak peek within days. I cannot recommend Paola enough - 10/10!

So Happy! Would do it again if I could!

My husband and I got married in June of 2022 at a little venue in Asheville, NC. We chose Paola based on her incredible portfolio, and she did not disappoint! Paola was very talented at directing us during our one-on-one shoots, as well as during family photos. I was nervous about having my picture taken for an entire day, but she made us laugh and feel so comfortable. Now we have the most cherished memories in my possession. I am so obsessed with my wedding photos that there's too many to print. We are so thankful to her. 100% recommend.

Everything I could ask for in a wedding photographer!

Our wedding photos were everything we dreamed of, all thanks to Paola! She captured the perfect balance of all the traditional wedding shots our family wanted along with the more modern, artful shots we were hoping capture of us on the big day. I love her style both aesthetically and the way she just fit into the day-- she was so kind and fun to be around. The sneak peek came super quickly, followed by our full wedding album. 10/10 would recommend!

Amazing, Lovely, Professional Photographer

We booked Paola in Summer 2021 for our June 25th, 2022 wedding. After talking with her on the phone, we knew she'd be the perfect fit for us. Despite the fact that my husband and I are relatively camera shy, we had an absolute blast with Paola during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. It's very important to have a photographer that makes you feel relaxed during your shoots, and Paola made us feel calm and comfortable. Beyond her wonderful personality and professionalism, she is an incredibly talented photographer. She perfectly captured how happy we felt on our wedding day! We've received so many comments from friends and family about how lovely she was to work with and how amazing our photos are. We loved working with her, hope to work with her again, and cannot recommend her enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
