I can't say enough good things about Alina and her husband! They were so in tuned to us and our requests as a couple. I was able to share some must have pictures for my engagement session with her and she made them ALL happen. She took us on a mini adventure in downtown Miami and we had the absolute best time! We were able to shoot in 3 different locations thanks to the help of her husband driving laps around the area and us shooting and hopping into the "getaway" car. She developed the pictures SOOOOO fast! We were able to have sneak peaks the very next day! Her and her husband have been married for many years and are a great testament to how a happy and healthy marriage looks like. Alina is so personable, kind and easy to talk to as well. She feels like a friend and I am so excited to have her be a part of my wedding day! The attention to detail and the personal love and care that she has shown us has honestly made her my absolute favorite vendor so far. She is everything that I could have possibly wanted in a wedding photographer and more! She is a MUST HAVE photographer and we will be recommending her to anyone who may need one in the future.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.
