Some photographers chase light. Others chase trends. But Eszteranna? She chases truth — the real kind. The kind that unfolds in soft laughter, in fingertips that linger, in unspoken glances exchanged across candlelit tables.
And it all began with a gift from her father.
“I got my first camera in 2016 — a gift from my father, who’s a cinematographer,” she shares. “He introduced me to the world of visual storytelling, and over the years, I’ve learned so much from him.”
But where he gravitated toward the rhythm of film, Eszteranna found herself pulled toward the intimate chaos and beauty of weddings.
At the heart of Eszteranna’s photography is a single, unwavering inspiration: connection.
“I’m deeply in love with love — and being able to capture it in an honest, stylish, and meaningful way is something I’ll never take for granted.”
Her journey since 2016 has been shaped by a mixture of hands-on experience and heartfelt evolution. She’s participated in workshops and taken courses, sure — but the real education, she says, has come from the weddings themselves. Every couple, every ceremony, every perfectly imperfect moment has helped shape her into the storyteller she is today.
There’s a quiet grace that runs through Eszteranna’s work — a blend of raw emotion and editorial precision.
“My approach blends the spontaneity of documentary photography with the beauty of refined, editorial aesthetics,” she explains. “I focus on genuine moments — quiet glances, soft laughter, meaningful touches — while paying close attention to composition, light, and style.”
The result? Photographs that feel real, not staged. Stylish, but never stiff. Emotional, without being overly dramatized. It's wedding photography that speaks softly but stays with you long after the last dance.
When it comes to equipment, Eszteranna knows exactly what helps her stay present and nimble:
“I shoot with Canon R6 Mark II bodies — fast, reliable, and perfect for capturing those real, fleeting moments. My go-to lens is the 35mm f/1.4 — I love how it allows me to stay close and connected while keeping things natural and intimate.”
Of course, she doesn’t limit herself. With a full range of lenses on hand, she adapts fluidly to each moment’s creative needs — whether it's a golden-hour kiss or a dimly lit reception.
Editing isn’t just a task for Eszteranna — it’s a sacred space.
“Since I’m more introverted, I really love the editing process — where I can be alone with my favorite music and a cup of coffee, quietly bringing out the best in each photo.”
Her editing style reflects her core philosophy: clean, timeless, and true to the atmosphere of the day. Colors are enhanced, not exaggerated. Light is embraced, not altered. It’s all about honoring the authenticity of what was really there.
Yes — she travels. And yes — she adores Italy.
“One of my favorite destinations is Italy,” she says with a spark in her voice. “There’s something so magical about the landscapes, the architecture, the light. Every frame feels like a painting.”
Whether it’s a sun-soaked villa in Tuscany or a seaside ceremony on the Amalfi Coast, she brings her signature calm, grounded presence to each destination.
Every couple is different — and Eszteranna honors that deeply.
“I absolutely work with couples to create custom packages that meet their specific needs,” she shares. “It’s about making sure they feel seen, understood, and comfortable from the very beginning.”
Her advice for those preparing for a shoot?
“Treat it like a date with your favorite person — relax, be yourself, and enjoy the moment. I’ll be there to help you every step of the way, from choosing the best outfits to finding the perfect location that fits your style.”
It’s not just the technicals she’s mastered over time — it’s also the inner wisdom that only experience can bring.
“Don’t be afraid to find your own style — that’s what will attract the couples you truly enjoy working with. Learn to say no to clients or projects that don’t align with your vision or values. Staying authentic will help you build a meaningful and fulfilling career.”
And it’s clear she’s taken her own advice — each image in her portfolio speaks with clarity, authenticity, and heart.
In a world overflowing with trends and filters, Eszteranna offers something refreshingly rare: the courage to see — and show — things as they are. Elegant, soulful, and real.
Whether you’re planning a destination celebration in Italy or an intimate gathering at home, her lens will meet you exactly where you are — with grace, intention, and a deep love for love itself.
