I'm Coraine
For me, photography begins with meaning.
Meaning is what allows a moment to live long after the day has passed.
My background in the arts
My role is to preserve the moments that make your story unique: the gestures, quiet glances, and fleeting interactions that reveal the depth of your love.
Before photography, storytelling was already at the heart of my life.
As a classically trained operatic soprano, I spent years studying the art of conveying emotion through music and performance. That experience deeply shaped the way I see and interpret meaningful moments today.
I had the privilege of performing in renowned concert halls, including Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center, as well as internationally. In film, I was also featured as a soloist in a PBS special. These experiences deepened my understanding of the quiet power held within a single, deeply felt moment.
In many ways, I think of a wedding day much like an opera: your audience of loved ones gathered as witnesses, you and your partner at the center of the story, every moment unfolding with intention and meaning.
Is my commitment to be fully present for every moment.
What makes my work different?
My Approach
Guided by unwavering values: intention, attentiveness, and a deep respect for capturing authentic moments.
Values that guide my work
A calm and attentive presence allows you to feel comfortable and seen! As a result, the meaningful moments of your day unfold naturally.
At the heart of every image is a deep respect for preserving moments exactly as they felt.
When you work with me, you become family. Every wedding day is approached with immense care and thoughtful attention to detail.

"Don’t get me wrong, we love being Mom and Dad—but thank you for capturing us as two people in love, too. These photos mean the world to us!"
I come from a beautifully diverse family with roots in the United States, Germany, Jamaica, and India. Growing up surrounded by different traditions, cultures, and stories gave me a deep appreciation for the many ways love is celebrated.
When I am not behind the camera, you'll likely find me loving on my crazy little crew at home - both the two- and four-legged kind. I enjoy hosting friends and family or experimenting with new recipes from around the world, and I am the proud wife of a U.S. Army veteran.
Most of all, I simply love love - in all its forms, traditions, and stories.
With love,
