I am a strong believer that things happen for a reason…

You won’t believe how I met this amazing couple!!! Ilya and May were one of my Airbnb hosts in Sydney, Australia!! When I arrived at their home, to my surprise, I saw photography equipment, what are the chances? I thought to myself. Next thing I know is that Ilya is an event photographer himself, and that they have been hopping and looking to do a couples session around Sydney for a while now but everyone they connected with was booked. December is the busy season for Australian couples and wedding photographers. Well here I was hoping to create something beautiful around Downtown Sydney and the Opera House, so we did!
