When we work together, it’s all about you. I see myself as your best friend behind the lens, documenting your love story like a beautiful, personal movie. We’ll start with a conversation about your vision and what matters most to you. Forget cheesy or staged photos—my goal is to capture the authentic emotions of your day: the joy, love, and deep connection. With me, you’ll get more than just a stunning gallery—you’ll have an unforgettable, stress-free experience from start to finish.
My mindset going on your wedding day is: Serve, serve, serve.
All the phone calls we will have or the communication I will have with your wedding planner prior to your wedding day, allows me to prepare to create exactly what you are looking for your photos and videos gallery. So, I'm looking to capture human emotions, small details, hidden moments...
At the end of the day, your wedding day is not a photoshoot. I want to do what you and your fiancé are up to and tell your love story in a romantic, timeless, authentic and beautiful way!
Bruna, I'm all watery eyed writing this. You. Are. Amazing. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I know you put your heart & soul into our wedding day, and into editing all of these, and it shows :) We are so grateful. Thank you so, so much. These pictures are phenomenal. WE LOVE, love, love them! I seriously have no words to express how truly incredible you/these are, and they're just BEYOND what I even could have imaged they would be. And the fact you did ALL of this in such a tight turnaround.. I'm just over here in awe and just so thankful, and so, so over-the-freaking-moon happy. [...] This is better than Christmas!
Bruna and Richie were the best decision we made for our wedding. I loved their artistry when booking but at our engagement shoot I realized Bruna was a rare born leader, I’m afraid to speak up and get the shot she needed to make us happy. For someone who likes to be in control and doesn’t trust everyone, she helped me relax and put my faith in her to do her job. When makeup artists were delayed and people arrived after the scheduled timeline I was blown away at their ability to adapt and do everything in their power to get the shots we spoke of. Richie and Bruna are a talented, incredible team who went above and beyond the day of to document our happiest day. I know a lot of people say that but when I say above and beyond I mean it. I saw them using every inch of their physical and mental energy to stay in it and deal with so many people, commanding them to get them the best shot. They were articulate and clear and did not waste any time. They were encouraging and we couldn’t believe the smiles and joy they got out of some family members. And my mother still talks about the kindness and compliments Richie gave her and for that I am so grateful. Great people, great artists, hard workers, and soulful creators. Thank you Bruna and Richie from the bottom of my heart. May you have continued success in your work and beyond.
Bruna & Richie are truly the best in the business. They’re not only professional, efficient, talented but they are also so fun to work with! We felt so comfortable working with them for our engagement photos, we didn’t even have to think twice about hiring them for our wedding day! If you are looking for beautiful high quality, timeless, professional photos- you will not regret hiring them!!
Bruna and her husband are an INCREDIBLE team. They are so professional, but also personal! My fiancé HATES taking pictures, and she got him to laugh, smile, and pose. She takes the time to get to know you and tells your story beautifully through her photos. She will instantly make you feel comfortable and communicates with you so well. Her and her husband put so much time and dedication in finding the right spots for photos, right angles, and even the tools they use. She is an incredible and experienced photographer. Hire her, hire her, hire her! You won't regret it.
If I could rate more than 5 stars, I WOULD. Bruna & Richie are absolutely amazing to work with. Bruna was especially helpful to me & my fiancé as we are SoCal newbies, and didn’t really know what area we wanted to elope in. Once we decided, Bruna went above & beyond at TWO LOCATIONS to bring our dreams to live. She & Richie completely exceeded my wildest expectations. Our photos and videos are nothing short of masterpieces & I could never thank them enough. I brag on Elegance in Frame every chance I get, and routinely say “I cannot wait to watch their business continue to grow. They are going to be HUGE!” I am already brainstorming ideas for another shoot with Bruna. & to add, Bruna returned our entire photo gallery within 1 week of our elopement & we received our video so fast as well! BOOK THEM! I have never written a Google review & I just wrote a small novel so do not take this review lightly!
Stunning job!! We hired Bruna for our engagement and wedding photos and were blown away by not only her talent, but her communication and overall fun demeanor. We as a couple never take pictures and normally are extremely awkward, but Bruna made us so comfortable that we ended up having to much fun! She sends packets and updates throughout the whole process to make sure that you have everything you need for one and before the day. Would recommend one hundred percent, in fact we have already shared her info with one of our friends who are engaged.
Book her immediately!! Bruna was our wedding photographer and I’m still stunned by all the beautiful moments she captured from our big day. Our initial phone consultation to answer questions and get to know me and my wedding day vision was quick (~15 minutes) and after we figured out pricing, she was on it. She regularly checked in to make let me know she was available if I needed anything and was counting down the days with me. Her pre-wedding questionnaire really helped her day of for family pictures, big moments we want captured, etc.
On our wedding day, she was there before the wedding party getting set up and I knew the moment we met, she was going to be fantastic! I could only describe her as energetic, excited, and caring. She reminded me that today was our day, relax, enjoy and she’ll take care of the rest. She was with us all day capturing the most beautiful and touching moments. Richie captured stunning candid shots with the groomsmen (which for these guys, can be a challenge) and made them really shine. My husband really liked how he got them to relax and also enjoy the day with jokes and a bright personality. My family still talks about how wonderful her and Richie were! She is hilarious, focused, and engaging. We just received our wedding album and we both cried reliving that day and how amazing it was.
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. We had our wedding two weekends ago and to this day, we still share our photos/videos and look at them nonstop. (I even show strangers because they’re that good!) We received a sneak peek of photos, ceremony and highlight videos within two days/a week after the wedding (faster than anticipated) and can’t even imagine what all the other photos will look like!
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!
Bruna and her team are far more than just the best photographers you could possibly hire. They went above and beyond what we ever asked for in so many ways. The wedding coordinators we hired didn't have a plan for the wedding quicker than Bruna did, who was very responsive and worked closely/quickly with my wife to plan the wedding my wife envisioned. I was so surprised this came from our photographer - the entire wedding was scheduled to perfection, especially with lighting and so many other factors in mind that we hadn't considered. When we compared Bruna's plan to the coordinator's plan, Bruna's was actually better and was the plan we officially went with. During the reception, there were a number of times where our photographers brought or carried things for us and relayed messages for us to the coordinators, even though that wasn't part of their job and they did it with such kindness. They made our life so easy and were fun to work with. The pictures we received are very high quality with such beautiful composition and lighting; shots of every aspect of our day from all the prep beforehand, to the scene before everyone's arrival, florist's work, and decoration, the food, drink, children playing, family laughing and enjoying each other's company, portraits of us with all the family and friends; the list goes on. We will never forget a single aspect of this day, thanks to Bruna and her team. And if that was not enough, since we had an extra photo shoot as part of our package, we met Bruna for a seaside one-year later photoshoot. We are forever grateful! You can't get better value, better pictures and a better overall experience than working with Elegance in Frame!
I CANT SAY ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS!!
Nine days before my wedding, the wedding videographer that I had originally booked canceled on me with no replacement and Bruna and the team at elegance and frame came through for me with virtually no notice. 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. I could not recommend Elegance in Frame more. 1000/10.
Elegance in frame did such a wonderful job capturing my wedding and engagement! Not only were they professional, they made it easy and fun to work with! They made my wedding memorable and I will recommend them to anyone that wants elegant, fun and high quality photography for any occasion. Thank you Bruna and her team at Elegance in Frame for everything.
Stunning! I cannot stop looking at my photos! Bruna didnt miss any moment of our ceremony. Richie was being very helpful and fun to work with.

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 a year 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
