⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

Clara is an absolute gem of a photographer and we couldn't be more thrilled with our decision to work with her for our NYC City Hall elopement. From the moment we connected, Clara's warmth and professionalism shone through, making us feel completely at ease on our special day.

As our witness at City Hall, Clara went above and beyond her role as a photographer. Her presence was calming and supportive, adding an extra layer of joy to our intimate ceremony.

She took the time to learn about us as a couple and carefully studied our mood board and the result was a beautiful collection of photos that perfectly captured the essence of our relationship and the vision we had for our elopement.

Clara has an incredible eye for detail and a knack for capturing those fleeting, magical moments that make a wedding day so special. Each photo tells a story, and we're overjoyed to have these beautiful memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Thank you for your lovely review! It was truly a pleasure meeting you both and having the honor of capturing such a special day. As you said, this elopement was not just a wedding but the beginning of your life together after years of homesickness and separation. Your wedding was incredibly meaningful for me. Thank you again for trusting me to document it.

Clara is amazing! There are not enough words to describe our experience. Clara is extremely professional, she was able to help us with establish a timeline and asked all the right questions about what moments we wanted captured on our wedding day. She is a true artist.

The Story is in the Telling. Clarita took our special day and not only provided the visuals for the ceremony and then some, but she provided creative direction and professionalism throughout the experience. Our photos wound up being beautiful. Still staring at the gallery as we speak lol. Her ability to draw light, find angles, and most importantly guide us as subjects all while leaving us smile and seeing her smile. Both passionate and proficient. We cannot wait to book her for our 1 year anniversary or just even a spring lookbook. I hope the next couple who is reading this chooses Clarita to be their photographer for their love story!
