Wedding & Portrait Photographer


Meet Xenia

I’m a wedding and portrait photographer with a heart for storytelling and a deep appreciation for meaningful moments, wherever they unfold. I launched my business in 2017 in Jackson, Mississippi, and have since had the honor of documenting love stories from the Deep South to destinations around the world. Now based in New Orleans, my work is centered on travel, capturing weddings, couples, and portraits both nationwide and internationally.


My approach is warm, vibrant, and intentional, focused on preserving your story in a way that feels natural and timeless. From intimate elopements abroad to celebrations closer to home, I’m passionate about creating imagery that reflects genuine connection and emotion.


I earned my degree in Integrated Marketing Communications from the University of Mississippi, which shapes the way I serve my clients through thoughtful planning and a seamless, elevated experience.


When I'm not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me planning my next trip, spending time with my three rescue cats, or rewatching Modern Family with my fiancé. I believe the most meaningful photographs come from real moments, joyful, effortless, and entirely your own.


Let's create something beautiful together, wherever your story takes you.

My Philosophy

I believe in thoughtful, intentional collaborations that feel personal and genuine.

 

People have always brought me joy. To photograph someone is to truly see them: their connection, their energy, and the moments that make them who they are. Every person and every love story is different, shaped by personality, passions, and the places they hold dear. Photography has become my way of honoring those stories with care and intention.


Through the lens of my camera, my goal is not only to deliver a thoughtfully curated gallery of images, but to create photographs that feel honest, natural, and timeless. Moments pass quickly, and not everyone has the opportunity to be photographed often, which is why I believe the quiet, in-between moments deserve just as much attention as the big ones.


I'm drawn to natural light, genuine connection, and candid moments that unfold effortlessly. Whether we’re documenting a wedding weekend in a new place, an intimate celebration close to home, or the people and experiences you love most, my approach is guided by authenticity and ease.


Let’s document your story as it truly is: your love, your people, your favorite places, your business, your pets, and the moments that matter most.


As the ever-iconic Donna Sheridan once said in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, “Life is short, the world is wide, and I wanna make some memories.” And that’s exactly what we’re here to do.
