Why I became a
Wedding Photographer
In 2012, I planned my own wedding, and honestly? It was overwhelming. I didn’t have a planner. I didn’t have a photographer guiding me. I was Googling everything, winging it, and by the time the day arrived, I was so focused on what wasn’t going right that I forgot to be present. I didn’t slow down. I didn’t breathe it in. I didn’t fully enjoy the moments with my friends, my family, or my partner, and that’s something you only get once.
That experience stayed with me. It’s the reason I am different from other photographers who just take pretty pictures. I never want you to feel the way I did, because I’ve been in your shoes.
This is why built this process to help YOU feel grounded, supported, and calm before the day ever arrives, so on the wedding day, you can actually be there, breathing in the fresh air, feeling the nature around you, soaking in the love.
When you look back at your photos, I want you to remember how it felt to dance, to laugh, to be surrounded by the people you love, not what went wrong, but how deeply present you were in one of the most important days of your life.
It's all about
Nature...
- I love to walk barefoot on the grass, especially at night with the full moon. It gives me energy.
- I believe that meditation and breathing exercises can ground you back to the present moment.
- I lived in New Zealand and also Oregon, and used to hike the mountains and see the beautiful landscapes.
- I love doing yoga and meditation to work with my inner peace
- In the darkest time of my life, I used nature to ground myself and breathing exercises to find my inner peace

But wait...
there's more!
- Born and raised in Puerto Rico
I love art, and as a matter of fact, I have a bachelor’s degree in art and photography.
- I believe there is a very powerful energy that runs through us, and we are all connected.
I know that everything that you can visualize in your mind and you believe in it, it will find its way back to you in real life.
