My main goal is to document these events in ways that allow you to feel the best YOU! Because these life events should feel like real life and not a staged photo shoot.
I will be there to highlight all the beautiful and memorable stories through my lens which will be shared with your friends, and future generations of your family. Taking professional photos is totally unnatural. I swear, 99.9% of my clients tell me that they are awkward in front of the camera. TRUST ME, you are not alone, all the people in the photos you see on my website expressed to me how unnatural and strange they feel being the center of attention.
This is where I come in, to give this extra help allowing you to be comfortable to look good and natural. Would you believe me if I said that all of the people in the photos you see on my website told me exactly that? Cause you better believe it.
I'm BRUNA
am so grateful for being able to capture beautiful stories and to meet wonderful people along the way! Between proposals, weddings, and family photos, I enjoy every minute I’m documenting major life events.

People often ask me how I would describe my style. From shooting to the final product. So let me put it in the simplest way possible. I think of myself as your best friend professional photographer documenting a movie about you. In our first conversation, I’m going to listen about your vision, about what is most important to you and how you would like to make it happen. It’s all about YOU.
My main goal is NOT to take Pinterest or cheese pictures that everyone likes, but capturing feelings of intimate love, pure joy, peace and deep emotion to translate real life moments and to get everyone that sees your photos (even you!) to feel like they witnessed it all in person. I want everyone to experience the feeling that you had in those moments. Fun, real, memorable.
Now remember, your experience with your photographer is so much more than the gallery you receive. I guarantee you will get a gorgeous wedding album. But more than that, your experience with me will blow you out of the water. On top of a super fun time, you can expect detailed professionalism, timely deliveries, and exceeded expectations (don’t just take my word for it; you can check it out these reviews). This experience is all about you. I take my job very seriously, and I can’t wait for your big day!

I met Richie on the dance floor! Oh Yeah! Let me explain it better! I LOVE dancing, and I wanted to learn how to dance hip hop, so I googled "dance studios in San Diego", and I found Richie's class.
Long story short, he has been teaching for over 20 years, and after stepping into his class for first time, I never left. He welcomed me into his family, and we got married in 2020 (I can't believe it's been two years already). Now, we work together capturing life time moments and beautiful love-stories.

I am from Brazil, and my trip to San Diego in 2016 was my very first international travel. I have Italy, Switzerland, Paris, Egypt, Japan, Bali on my list, and so many wonderful places! Meanwhile, I love traveling all over the USA to my couples and capture their big day.
This was one of my very first photos I took in California.

I LOVE arts, dancing, acting, plays, and all of it's extension! Fan Fact: I used to work as a professional actress in Brazil. When I moved to the USA, I didn't know how to speak English, so I decided to enroll in a dance class (because i didn't need to speak). I did some performances, danced with artists, short-movies, music videos and even had my own hip hop cardio class. Now, I do help some of my couples with their wedding dance. It brings me SO much Joy and It's SO much FUN!!
living my best life on the dance floor lol

It's where I am from. Where my family lives and where my heart will always be. The food is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G (for real), the people are friendly and the places around my country are breathtaking!
I like being outside and trying different things. This is me doing abseiling for the first time, at Bico de Papagaio in Rio de Janeiro.

This is Scott. He was one of my best friends. He knew when I was sad, and how to make me happy. He used to do silly faces and play with me all day long. He is still in Brazil and I miss him a lot.
While I can't play with my puppy, I enjoy my time eating chocolate, ice cream or vegan cookies. Not the same at all but it makes me happy too lol

"Bruna and Richie together make a dream team! They are not only professionals at what they do, they are also passionate - and that makes a huge difference! They are easy to talk to, they made an effort to get to know us and our love story and we had so much fun working with them. And then, we got photos and videos that are romantic, timeless and heart-warming.you guys are amazing"
IF I COULD GIVE 10 STARS, I WOULD. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR PHOTOS AND VIDEOS THAT WILL LEAVE YOU SPEECHLESS AND BE ABLE TO RELIVE THE MOMENT, LOOK NO FURTHER…BRUNA AND HER PARTNER RICHIE, THE ELEGANCE IN FRAME TEAM ARE SUPER TALENTED.[...] ASIDE FROM THEIR CREATIVE VISIONS, BRUNA WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND - SHE ASSISTED US THROUGHOUT THE WEDDING PLANNING (SCHEDULING CHECKINS WITH US, HELPED KEEP US ON TRACK, MADE OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION FUN, ETC). SHE’S SUPER HELPFUL, HONEST, AND GENUINE. RICHIE IS ALSO MORE THAN JUST A VIDEOGRAPHER, HE HELPED MAKE OUR WEDDING DAY STRESS-FREE AND CREATED SUCH AN EPIC (AS MY FRIENDS TELL ME) HIGHLIGHT VIDEO.
THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A LONGER REVIEW, BUT THEY NEED TO BE RECOGNIZED! DON’T REGRET IT…BOOK WITH ELEGANCE IN FRAME!
OUR EXPECTATIONS WERE MORE THAN EXCEEDED WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL, TIMELESS PHOTOGRAPHY! [...]BRUNA FROM ELEGANCE IN FRAME WAS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. SHE WAS KIND, PATIENT, AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN EVERY STEP OF THE PROCESS FROM OUR MEET-AND-GREET CALL, TO OUR DECISION MAKING WITH LOCATIONS/OUTFITS, AND EVEN POSING US FOR OUR PHOTOS. WE WERE NOT EXPERIENCED IN GETTING OUR PHOTOS TAKEN, AND SHE (AND HER ASSISTANT) MADE US FEEL SO COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT. SHE ENDED UP EDITING AND SENDING US THE RESULTS OF OUR PHOTOS QUICKLY, TOO! SHE WAS EASY TO COMMUNICATE WITH, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAD QUESTIONS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY--- OUR PHOTOS TURNED OUT AMAZING. SHE DID A FABULOUS JOB WITH THE ANGLES, LIGHTING, POSES, LOCATIONS, AND EDITING. WE WOULD GIVE HER 10 STARS, IF WE COULD!THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A LONGER REVIEW, BUT THEY NEED TO BE RECOGNIZED! DON’T REGRET IT…BOOK WITH ELEGANCE IN FRAME!
WE HAD A BLAST SHOOTING WITH BRUNA. FROM THE GET GO, WE KNEW WE WOULD HAVE FUN AFTER THE INITIAL INTRODUCTION. BRUNA WAS THOROUGH AND ATTENTIVE TO OUR COMFORT LEVEL. SHE ALSO HAD A PLETHORA OF IDEAS TO SHARE WITH US SINCE WE DIDN'T HAVE AN EXACT IDEA WE WANTED. SHE WAS ABLE TO CURATE AN UNBELIEVABLE SHOOT AND HER EDITS WERE AMAZING. WE DEFINITELY WOULD RECOMMEND BRUNA TO ANY OF OUR FRIENDS AND HER ENERGY WAS INFECTIOUS!
I CANT SAY ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS!![...]I HAD BEEN METICULOUSLY PLANNING A WEDDING FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS, TO PARTLY DUE TO COVID. [...] WITHIN 20 MINUTES OF FINDING AND CONTACTING ELEGANCE IN FRAME, BRUNA HAD CONTACTED ME, SECURED MY DATE, WALKED ME OFF THE LEDGE AND TALKED ME THROUGH A PANIC ATTACK, AND THEN THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND, SHOWED UP WITH AN AMAZING TEAM.[...] THE QUALITY WAS EXCELLENT, THEY BLENDED INTO THE PARTY SEAMLESSLY AND I WAS LEFT WITH AN OUTSTANDING VIDEO THAT CAPTURED ALL OF THE BEST MOMENTS OF OUR WEDDING. I COULD NOT RECOMMEND ELEGANCE IN FRAME MORE. 1000/10
You Deserve the best
Your experience with your photographer is so much more than the gallery you receive. I guarantee you will get a gorgeous & memorable photos & films. But more than that, you can expect detailed professionalism, timely deliveries, and exceeded expectations.
