The historic Monte Vista Hotel is a key component to Black Mountain’s storied past. Originally home to the Cherokee people, this valley became an early pathway west for traders, explorers and people seeking a new life beyond the eastern mountains. The town of Black Mountain grew rapidly after the railroad was completed in the late 19th century, and this new “railroad town” needed more lodging. Lucien and Rosalie Phillips opened the Monte Vista in 1919, repurposing a former school building. In 1937, the current brick building was constructed, further cementing the Monte Vista Hotel as a central piece of Black Mountain’s civic and social life. The Annex, a separate structure located behind the original, was added in 1975. Though the hotel has since undergone complete renovations and new ownership, many of the original elements have been preserved, and the new decorative touches complement the look and feel of the original structure.

Natural, freestyle posing that shows off your genuine charm. (And doesn’t give you post-traumatic flashbacks to the awkward photoshoot your mom forced you into before your first middle school dance...) You deserve better. That’s why I’m dedicated to making you feel 100% comfortable so that your wedding photos come out 100% you: radiant, beautiful, fun, and probs goofy as heck.

My goal is to capture you as you are. Your passion and personality. I take a documentary approach to my photography- I'm less about the poses. Instead I focus on the authentic moments. I want you to look at these photos and be brought back to the feeling, the emotion of the day.

I take a photojournalistic approach to wedding photography, capturing candid and intimate moments as they naturally unfold. I strive to create a fun and relaxed experience at every shoot. I consider my approach akin to storytelling. My goal is to document the genuine love, laughter, and raw emotions of your day, along with all the little details and memories that made it so special. I'm also all about getting creative and will step away from the candid approach to execute a few fun (and sometimes playful) ideas. Creative portraits are my love.

Chifa is a fusion of Peruvian and Chinese Cuisines. 100,000 Chinese Immigrants arrived in Peru in 1849 to work in sugar plantations, mines and to construct rail roads. The first Chinese-Peruvian fusion restaurants were opened in Lima around 1920. Since then, the popularity of Chifa has expanded outside “Calle Capon”, the Barrio Chino area. Chifa combines food traditions of the Peruvian Creole culture, traditional Cantonese cooking methods, and Peruvian ingredients.Because of its popularity, Chinese food began to influence traditional Andean and coastal dishes, and over time Chifa emerged as a new authentic of Peruvian food.

Starting my passion of photography at the young age of ten, I fell in love with the documentary/journalistic style. When I got older, I was moved to make it into a career.

Italian cuisine influenced Peruvian dishes and its culinary style. Peru in particular received a large migration, mainly from Genova. Peruvian cuisine owes its first legumes such as Broccoli, zucchini, chard, cauliflower, and eggplants, to the Italian immigrants. Pasta, the other big contribution, was adapted in various ways, the best example being “Tallarines Verdes” (green noodles), the Peruvian version of Pesto Pasta.
