About
My interest in photography began at age 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. Fast forward many years later, I now live in Washington D.C. which serves as my home base for my continuing adventures.
I find great fulfillment working with couples who understand the importance of documenting the joyous, tender, and unexpected moments that take place as they begin life together. From snapping the shutter, to presenting stylized post-production work, my intent is to capture timeless images that are as beautiful for a 50th anniversary as for the first.

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 t...he 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 and more!
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 s...pecial 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.

Everything we wanted in our wedding photos
Our wedding photos were everything we dreamed of, all thanks to Paola! She captured the perfect balance of all the traditional wedding shots our famil...y 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. 10/10 would recommend!

Amazing, Professional, and Lovely 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. 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!
