INTERNATIONAL AWARDS


I have had the honor of receiving numerous recognitions throughout my career, from prestigious associations worldwide. One of my most significant achievements was representing my country, Brazil, in the World Cup of Photography, where we became champions as a team in 2020 and achieved second place in 2021.

Over the past three years, I have been a finalist in one of the most esteemed associations globally, SWPP, competing against thousands of photographers. This competition receives an average of 5,000 to 9,000 entries annually. In 2022, I was honored to be awarded second place as the best photographer of the year.

While the ultimate reward for me is the joy my clients experience when they receive their wedding photos, these accomplishments also reinforce that I am on the right path. The photos are judged by photography masters, adding to the validation of my dedication and passion for the art of photography. Each recognition serves as a reminder that I am constantly striving for excellence and pushing my creative boundaries to deliver an extraordinary work to my clients.
