Why I became a
Wedding Photographer
In 2012, I had an outdoor wedding, and honestly? I was so stressed about every little detail that I forgot to actually experience it. I was surrounded by nature, but I didn’t breathe it in. I didn’t soak in the moments with my partner, my family, or my friends. And that’s something you only get once.
That experience is why I do things differently. I never want you to feel the way I did – too caught up in what’s going wrong to enjoy what’s happening.
That’s why I built a process to help you feel grounded and present. So on your wedding day, you’re not just standing in nature for photos – you’re actually breathing the fresh air, feeling the sun, experiencing the day with the person you love.
When you look back at your images, I want you to remember how deeply present you were – not what went wrong, but how it felt to truly be there.
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.
