who is behind this project

meet your hosts

Originally from Budapest, I am a wedding and elopement photographer living near Rome, Italy. I love the countryside, nature and especially my dogs; hiking in the mountains but also going SUP in the sea. Traveling has always been important in my life, and I am lucky to go back to Venice with you! Once of my favorite cities.

Since 2015, l’ve been taking photos of couples, families, weddings, and more. When I’m not behind the camera or designing, l’m with Ichigo, my red Shiba Inu, Ollie, my black and white cat and Tal, my husband. I love traveling and exploring new places, which always gives me fresh ideas for my work. Art in all its forms inspires me every day, fueling my passion for creativity.
