Why I became a
Wedding Photographer
Love is special and different for everyone it gives us a way to feel important, vulnerable, confident, inspired, and makes us feel unique. Every couple experiences a different way to love each other, it’s like we all live in a different love world, which inspired me to become a wedding photographer. I love capturing your emotions and passions for each other, that little uniqueness that is happening between you TWO that made YOU pick each other for the rest of your life and grow old together.
… but why outdoor weddings? There is nothing freer than getting married on the beach listening to the ocean waves, in the vineyards testing different grape flavors, on top of a mountain looking over the wonderful landscape, or in the forest where you can hear all the animals that live in it, anywhere you can feel connected and close to the nature. The natural beauty inspired me to get more creative and think outside the box. The outdoors gives you a sense of connection with the present and a more romantic atmosphere, and this is what I want for you on your wedding day.
I love connecting with people that are in love with life, each other, and mother nature. I want to connect with YOU, let’s talk about the day you are dreaming of. Send me a message in the contact form and can’t wait to meet you!
"When you are one with nature is like time slows down and everything is more enjoyable"
It's all about
Connection...
- I believe connecting with nature is the medicine for looking for inner peace; just give it a test. When you feel stressed or anxious, go for a walk or drive close to the ocean.
- I am one of the 10% world’s lefties (High five for the lefties reading this! ).
- I believe you should do what you love most because it’s the only way to be free.
- I am very proud to be Puerto Rican and to grow up on such a fantastic Island with all the great food and music.
- I believe we should all live in another country at least once in our life.
- I love plants! There was a time in my life when I went to a dark place, and getting plants made me happy; having to take care of them made me think about life differently. How can a plant almost be dying, and if you will give it the proper care, it can come back more beautiful than ever?
...photography Has been my most
adventurous passion
But wait...
there's more!
- I love traveling in fact, I have lived in New Zealand for a year and backpacked by myself to South East Asia for three months straight I met incredible people who I still talk to this day.
- I have been clumsy since birth, I remember my mom as a kid used to tell me before going to ANY store, “Don’t touch anything” she actually still says that.
- I believe can do whatever you can put in your mind as long you believe in it.
- My favorite childhood memory was when I used to gather all my teddy bears and toys like they were my students, and I was the teacher, and I used to use a chalkboard to go above and beyond LOL.

Outdoor weddings
Your wedding day is all about your love for each other and that is what I am most passionate about, taking photos of the emotion, happy tears, celebration, true love, and a little bit of everything with Mother Nature as your beautiful backdrop.
