—and those same threads run through my work.
Before photography, I was a doctor working in intensive care and anesthesiology. It taught me to hold space for people in their most vulnerable moments — a skill I now carry into every wedding I photograph.
One day in intensive care, a young patient I had grown close to confided in me that he wished he had lived his life differently. He had always thought there would be more time — more decades to follow his dreams.
That conversation changed everything. It cracked something open in me — a realization that life is too short not to choose joy when you can. So I gave myself permission to try turning my love for photography into more than a private passion. I followed the pull toward creativity, connection, and celebration — and in doing so, I found a kind of joy I hadn’t known before.
My path to photography wasn’t traditional — but it was always about people.
Now, every wedding I photograph is a reminder to say yes to the big love, the loud laughter, the happy tears — and even the questionable dance moves —
Because joy isn’t just invited, it’s the whole damn point.
I was born in Germany, spent my childhood in the U.S., and have lived across Europe, South Africa, and the States.
My work is high-end yet heartfelt—so your gallery feels magazine-worthy AND deeply personal.
The imagery I craft is as intentional and expressive as the celebration itself. Whether you're planning a multi-day destination event or an intimate elopement outdoors, I'm here to capture the FULL story with honesty, beauty, and depth.
Your story deserves to be celebrated, no matter WHO YOU ARE or HOW YOU LOVE.
inclusivity is a priority here.
My partner Denham is my favorite person and creative collaborator.
He grew up surfing the South African coast and filming soulful travel documentaries across 40+ countries. Together, we capture your story in both photo and video — with authenticity, depth, and joy. His wedding films are rich with movement and meaning, full of those blink-and-you-miss-it moments: the quiet glances, the unexpected laughter, the way the light hit just right. He works as gently and unobtrusively as I do, with the same grounded presence and reverence for real connection.

"She didn’t just shoot our wedding — SHE FELT IT WITH US."
"Kim was our cheerleader and trusted presence on the day. She completely understood our vision for the visuals, the feel, the vibe, and what experience we wanted to create for our loved ones. Now, our wedding memories are not only incredibly beautiful, but also powerful, and full of soul. She made our story unforgettable. "

ARancini
People are often surprised that: I'm shorter in person, I've never had alcohol, I can triple-fold my tongue and wiggle my ears.
I don't like cold weather, horror movies, and calls from unknown numbers.
I'm an Aquarius (not big into astrology but people who are always say its the perfect fit for me!), an ENFP, and an Enneagram 2 Wing 3.
I'm terrible at keeping plants alive.
I have a sweet tooth and can't resist pancakes, Reese's, Peanut M&Ms, and wedding cake.
