From the guestbook
“Paulina captures precious moments; her technique makes them seem just unbelievable!”
Paulina's work is just the perfect combination of elegant, timeless, romantic, refined and beautiful. Each image tells a story that just by being there you wouldn’t be able to share it or express it as she does. I highly recommend Paulina to capture any moment of your life you want to remember. She will be the best at it and share these exceptional experiences through her pictures.
Definitely my favorite photographer to highlight the beauty of life.

Along The ITALIAN RIVIERA
On or near water, capturing a couple’s union against stunning contouring hillsides overlooking the sea is an extraordinary experience. Nestled between the mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea, Liguria is the small—but mighty—crescent-shaped region of Italy that borders France and makes up the Mediterranean enclave known as the Italian Riviera.
The Riviera’s magnetic allure thrives in its rustic sensibility and the contemporary charm of its coastal towns.
Dip your toes in the breathtaking scenery of Cinque Terre’s pastel-colored villages articulate a romantic tension between light and texture. Our recommendations? The crystal clear waters surrounding Portovenere’s Fortress Umberto I create an imposing medieval atmosphere, while Belmond Splendido in Portofino and Imperiale Palace Hotel in Santa Margherita Ligure are sure to satisfy the most luxurious of cravings.
FILL YOUR Engagement Session WITH MEDITERRANEAN SOUL
An intimate engagement session can only be achieved by trusting your instincts, finding a paradise of small Italian towns, and having the right photography and film team by your side. Down south where the Tyrrhenian meets the Gulf of Salerno is one of the world's most famous coastlines of the Mediterranean: the Amalfi Coast.
We’re confident that the Costiera will unravel wellsprings of inspiration for your photoshoot. Perched on steep terraced hills you’ll find the idyllic town of Ravello, Positano’s picturesque scene with the perfect surprise proposal potential, Amalfi’s panoramic mountainside, and sweet Sorrento overlooking the Bay of Naples. While we’re there, why don’t we take a boat to Capri Island and capture your romance in Anacapri’s relaxing atmosphere by day as we end the night with Capri’s lively fireworks? Our striking drone footage will serve as the canvas of your love.
Every wedding photo collection is highly personal, bursting with a unique energy and style that’s meant to be shared.
