Priyanca was absolutely amazing. From the scheduling all the way through to receiving our photos! She was so easy to communicate with. We were visiting New York from Australia and Priynaca arranged for a hair dresser and make up artist to come to our hotel to get me dolled up for our shoot. She also brought me a dress to wear for it. During the shoot itself she was so meticulous in her timing and got the most amazing photos for our engagement shoot. We met with her over zoom a few days later to go through the photos and select our favourites. This was probably the hardest part! We loved them all and I have no idea how we managed to narrow it down! It was such a fun day and we are so thrilled with the photos we got from it!

What clients are saying
My husband and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary and I knew exactly who I wanted to capture our energy and how it’s evolved over the years. Though we’ve worked together professionally on multiple occasions, Priyanca surprised even me with her dedication to capturing our lives together. She pulled us out of our comfort zone (being uncomfortable in front of the camera – haha) right away and spent the extra time getting things to be as they truly are – not just right for a photograph. She spent a bit of extra time with my family as well and made the experience itself memorable, beyond capturing us as a couple. All of this happening during Covid, she was kind and accommodating to all of the scheduling changes around lockdown. I love Priyanca and will always go back to her.
