Amore Eterno: A Journey Through Timeless Love
As a storyteller at heart, with a filmmaker's eye for detail and emotion, I'm all about those heartfelt connections and magical, unnoticed moments. I live for the romance of it all—those intimate glances and quiet whispers that truly make your love story yours.
But here’s the deal—I’m not just the person behind the camera. I’m the friend you'll find laughing along with your aunt's funny stories, the confidante you'll share a heartfelt moment with right before you walk down the aisle, and the ultimate cheerleader for your love. Together, we'll capture the beauty, chaos, and pure joy of your life's most precious moments.
To all the ones in love, the dreamers, the over-the-moon, head-over-heels, can't-get-enough-of-each-other lovers—this is your sign. Let me be your visual poet, your professional third wheel, your guide in this beautiful journey of capturing love.
Let's make your wedding not just memorable but filled with joy, laughter, and authentic love.
When you meet me, whether that is virtually or in person, you’ll notice I have an accent! That’s because I was born and raised in Italy — I call the beautifully picturesque and evergreen hills of Florence, Tuscany my home.
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I speak three languages fluently: Italian, Spanish, and obviously English! But I also can have very small conversations in Portuguese and French, as I studied both for many years! So if you've got non-English speakers in your wedding or family, I've most likely got you!
How many languages do you speak?
You guessed it! It’s definitely miss Taylor Swift, our lyricist queen! But as someone who was born in the 1990s and grew up in the early 2000s, my music playlist has all sorts of genres and artists in it, so chances are we have some favorite songs in common even if you’re not a Swiftie!
Who’s your most streamed artist?
I’m very passionate about television and film so when I'm not working I'm usually binge watching something while my two cats are cuddled up nearby. I'd bet that I have watched at least 50% of tv series that have come out over the last 30 years! I am also a foodie so I enjoy trying new restaurants with my boyfriend, checking out new coffee shops with friends, and a trip to the arcade. And of course traveling—I mean, who doesn’t love traveling?!
What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?
This is way too hard of a question. My all time favorite is Outlander, but other favorites are Grey’s Anatomy, The Vampire Diaries, One Tree Hill, Veronica Mars, The Summer I Turned Pretty, The 100, Once Upon A Time, Gilmore Girls, and Glee. Do we have any in common?
What’s your favorite tv show ever?
If You're Still Scrolling, it Means You're Craving a Bit More of That Brenda Sparkle, Right?
If you’ve made it this far, you must be itching to know more about the heart and soul behind the camera—yep, that’s me, Brenda! So, here's the lowdown: Not only am I a professional third wheel and moment-catcher, but I'm also a hardcore Taylor Swift fan aficionado (if the references didn’t give it away). My love for all things T-Swift isn’t just about the catchy tunes; it’s about the storytelling, the raw emotions, and, let's be honest, the epic love stories—much like the ones I’m eager to capture for you.
I'm a hopeless romantic to the core, completely smitten with love in all its forms. From tear-jerking movie scenes to those real-life moments that take your breath away, I live for the magic of love. My approach? Think of it as your favorite rom-com meets a Taylor Swift ballad—full of heart, sprinkled with laughs, and always aiming for that happy ending. So, if you’re dreaming of wedding photos that feel like they belong on the big screen or a love story playlist, I’m your girl.
