I am *the* Marcela Waldinger behind the eponymous marcelawaldinger.jpg!

Born in Fort Lauderdale and raised in Goiania, Brazil, and Sacramento, California, my passion for photography was sparked by my mother. When I was 6, she gave me a pink and purple Barbie Polaroid camera, and I became hooked on capturing life’s moments.

As a (quadruple!!!) Libra, I am ruled by my love of love, and it is my passion to tell people’s love story through my documentary style photography.

My goal is to shoot photos that look stunning and feel like you, so let’s chat about how I can best capture your special day!

Things that inspire me: My Shiba Inu, vintage shoes, New Order, Addison Rae, Sophia Coppola, Petra Collins, Key Lime pies, Passion Fruit cocktails, Cajun pasta, and Baroque oil paintings.
