Dear Bride,

I'm Lucia - a professional photographer who spent over a decade capturing weddings filled with love, laughter, and genuine emotion. After witnessing hundreds of celebrations from behind the lens, I’ve learned something important:

The most meaningful weddings aren’t the most expensive or elaborate - they’re the ones where the couple releases the pressure and creates a day that truly reflects who they are.

I created Letters to a Bride to share the insight I’ve gathered over the years - not just about photography, but about what really matters on your wedding day.

If you’re dreaming of a small, intimate celebration that’s rich with meaning rather than spectacle, you’re in the right place. This is your space to feel inspired, supported, and equipped with the behind-the-scenes wisdom most brides never hear - the kind that helps your day flow beautifully and makes room for real, unforgettable moments on camera.

This day is uniquely yours. Let it feel like home.

With love,
Lucia
