I have the most amazing memories from childhood of being cuddled up with my Granny going through old pictures. The joy and nostalgia that came from those old film photos where everything. My favorite part was always looking up at my Granny as she got lost in each individual memory, seeing her face shape shift in moments of grief over the past and then instant joy because she knew that she could relive that moment as long as she had those photos. Every time I pick up my camera I strive to create tangible moments that will last a lifetime.

Hi there, I'm Rudney Novaes — And I’ve been intrigued by photography since I was a boy. In youth I discovered a fascination with film when my Father left behind a vintage camera. I was amazed by the mechanics of the time-worn device, in awe of its capability to freeze moments in time. Today, I’m an editorial and wedding photographer capturing stories filled with feeling, and my love of light and film continues to shape my craft. I’m passionate about sharing the knowledge I’ve chased since childhood with aspiring creatives and seasoned professionals alike, and I believe wholeheartedly that there’s always more to learn from one another.

I'm sure you landed on this page because you saw my photography work somewhere and you were drawn to it. I want you to STAY on this page because you are looking for a talented wedding photographer who will do far more than take gorgeous timeless fine art photographs for you.

After my first year of college studying music, I decided to take the business route. I worked for several Fortune 500 businesses and even some start-ups.

The design of this new rooftop began in May 2011 and started with a gravel rooftop similar to the other tower at this location.
