Our Story
We're Travis & Caterina — husband, wife, and creative partners since 2015.
We're a duo of destination fashion photographers based in Washington, D.C., though our work carries us far beyond it, up and down the East Coast, and to locations around the world. Between us, we speak Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English, a reflection of the places and cultures that have shaped who we are, and who we bring with us to every wedding we shoot.
Our story began in Miami, well before weddings were ever part of the plan. Travis was building his name as a fashion photographer, Caterina was modeling and art directing, and somewhere in between the two, we fell in love. It wasn't long before we decided to merge our talents and begin creating together. When Travis joined the military, we found ourselves constantly on the move and it was in that season of travel that wedding photography found us, shaped naturally by the editorial eye we'd already spent years refining.
Travis brings an artist's background to every wedding, trained as a painter and sculptor before he ever picked up a camera, he has an instinct for light and composition that shapes everything we shoot. That same eye is what gives our work its editorial edge, deliberate, considered, and never accidental.
Caterina, Italian by birth and raised in France, brings with her a certain je ne sais quoi — an innate elegance and sense of romance that quietly threads itself through every image we create together.
Long before fashion brought us together, there was another shared passion neither of us knew the other carried: sailing, something we'd both loved since childhood. Today, with two children of our own, our favorite days are still the ones spent on the water as a family, chasing sunlight and salt air together.
