Behind Burikitak

Hi, I’m Andrea (aka Burikitak).

I’m a Colombian-raised, NYC-based portrait and wedding photographer telling stories of intimacy, identity, and memory. My work lives in the messy, tender, joyful, and imperfect moments… because that’s where real beauty lies.

I believe photography is less about performance and more about preservation. Every frame is meant to feel like a memory pressed between the pages of your family album — something honest, lasting, and full of life.

  • I photograph weddings, elopements, portraits, and maternity sessions across New York City, New Jersey, the Hudson Valley, and destinations worldwide. My style is intuitive and human, grounded in observation and presence, with a mix of candid warmth and thoughtful artistry.

    For me, the heart of photography is connection: creating space where you feel comfortable enough to simply be, because that’s when the most authentic moments emerge.

  • I love working with couples and families who care more about presence than performance… untraditional, artistic, multicultural, and proudly themselves. Many of the people I photograph are queer, interracial, or planning intimate celebrations both locally and abroad.

    Whether it’s a wedding day in the city, an elopement by the sea, an at-home maternity session, or a intimate portrait session, my goal is always the same: to tell your story as it really feels.

  • I’m not just there to take pictures. I’m an ally, a calming presence, and a witness to one of the most meaningful chapters in your life. From NYC rooftops to Cartagena’s beaches, I’ve learned that love is universal and every story deserves to be remembered with honesty and care.

Your story deserves to be told with presence and truth. Reach out and let’s talk about your wedding, elopement, portrait, or maternity session.
