My journey into photography began with a deep love for landscapes—a passion rooted in capturing the natural beauty of the world around me. I would spend hours exploring new places, patiently waiting for the perfect light, and carefully composing each frame. There was something magical about freezing those fleeting moments—preserving the grandeur and serenity of nature in a single image.
As my passion for photography grew, so did my perspective. Everything shifted the moment my wife became pregnant. Suddenly, the beauty I once sought in sweeping landscapes began to reveal itself in the quiet, intimate moments of everyday life. I realized just how powerful and essential it is to have photographs of the people we love—capturing moments that happen in the blink of an eye, yet are felt for a lifetime. Moments that can only be preserved by a photograph—forever frozen in time. That realization is what led me to become a wedding, event, and portrait photographer.
From that point on, my lens turned toward capturing the essence of life’s most meaningful moments—not only of my wife and soon-to-be-born daughter, but for others as well. I understood how important these moments are, and I knew I wanted to preserve them beautifully for my clients. That personal shift completely transformed my approach. The same passion, patience, and creativity I once reserved for landscapes now fuel every event and portrait I create.
My style is a blend of Fine Art and Documentary photography, grounded in a strong Traditional foundation. I aim to balance authentic storytelling with romantic, timeless portraiture—creating images that are emotionally rich, artistically composed, and visually striking.
I believe in embracing the natural beauty and light that already exist while skillfully using artificial light when needed. For me, photography isn’t about trends—it’s about preserving what’s real and meaningful. My goal is to craft images that not only stand the test of time but also evoke the true emotion of the moment they were captured.
Whether it’s a wedding, a quinceañera, or any milestone worth remembering, my purpose remains the same: to create photographs my clients will treasure for a lifetime. Every event is an opportunity to blend artistry, authenticity, and storytelling—capturing not just how a moment looked, but how it felt.
In many ways, my journey from landscapes to portraits reflects the rhythm of life itself. What has remained constant is my commitment to capturing beauty—whether it’s found in the world around us or in the people we hold dearest.
