"Paula did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. The photographs were mind blowing and incredibly beautiful. We couldn't believe all the small moments she captured at our intimate winter wedding. It was so fun seeing behind the scenes of our own wedding. She did a great job making my husband and I feel relaxed for bride and groom portraits and organizing and navigating family portraits. One of the reasons we picked her to photograph our wedding is her chill, laid-back vibe. She is friendly and kind, without being overbearing. She took a bunch of creative photos that are really unique and artistic too. We can't recommend her enough! We're so happy we hired Paula as our wedding photographer and highly recommend you do the same!"

"We worked with Paula for an engagement shoot in NYC, and it was a truly fantastic experience! From our coordinating call, to the actual shoot, to masterful variety of photos she took - absolute perfection every step of the way! Paula make us, a camera shy awkward couple, look like models so comfortable in front of the camera. We are so thrilled to have worked with her."

"Paula came highly recommended and when I saw her website I knew she was what I was looking for. Beautiful candid shots, catching sweet little moments. Artistic ways of capturing movement and interacting with nature. I had no idea exactly how wonderful she would be. She was so encouraging and helped me conceptualize the events of the day. She stayed in touch. Being a pandemic bride never felt hard because of her, and I was so excited leading up to our intimate little wedding. On the big day, she has a natural way of fitting right in. The joy captured in my photos reflect exactly how comfortable we felt with her there, a bunch of people who aren’t used to being photographed. We would absolutely love to work with her again someday as our family grows."

"My husband and I can't say enough good things about Paula and Nik. We selected them for our wedding because they photographed a friend of ours and we had so much fun with them at that wedding, not to mention the photos were amazing. Having them for our own wedding planning experience was the best decision we made and worth every penny we spent! Paula is extremely responsive and fun to work with. She makes you feel so comfortable. Her and Nik have fun, adventurous spirits that made our engagement and wedding photos so playful and fun."

"There are not enough words to describe how awesome and talented Paula is! She was so friendly and responsive with all our questions. She and her husband Nik were so amazing at putting everyone at ease, getting all the shots we wanted, and all the ones we didn't know we needed. They were right there when you needed them and many of our guests commented how wonderful they were. All of our photos were amazing- I can't believe how good they look and that it's actually me in them! She truly captured the feel of our wedding and there were so many more photos than I anticipated! I know how overwhelming finding a photographer can be and what a significant investment it can be, but Paula is definitely worth every penny. She clearly loves what she does and it shows in her photos and and in her personality."
