Eric-René : How did I grow up ?
I have always loved traveling and discovering new things. During my childhood, I was fascinated by documentaries about nature, animals, and wildlife.
I started to create and live in my own world. I was fond of imaging the world, watching television, movies and National Geographic shows like Jacques Cousteau expeditions, reading encyclopedias, dictionaries, and books about animals and geology. I was pretty shy and introverted.
Genuine Curiosity means the world to me as I can express my inner soul and this exactly what I want to give you. Everything I have inside me, my soul, my mind, and my heart; all my past, all my emotions, my tears when you cry, and my laughs when you smile. I want you to receive the gift of sharing and experiencing your wedding day with multiple photographs for you to tell your story, to relive your wedding.
but I forgot to dream
For a few, when I was at Uni, I wanted to improve myself, maybe somewhere else, make my parents proud of me. Thus, I postgraduate degree in Law and Social and Economical Administration for small and middle range companies (basically nothing related to photography, that’s right) - As I did not get a University scholarship anymore, I started a commercial career that lasted many years. One day, it appears that I had the opportunity to sell cameras in a Shop, I was for hours with passionate clients and this is how I finally grabbed my first DSLR.
Then my bohemian soul resurfaced and I choose to head out into this big world, trying to discover the essential beauty of life.
My friends asked me to shoot their wedding and I fell in love with the job. From day one, I was moved by telling a story nourishing the day with a lot of photographs, small details, narrative, and of course emotions. Since then I can say that I have developed my distinct and poetic style.
Embrace my job and new life
Not only because I finally felt free to do want I wanted to, but more because I loved having the opportunity to express my inner feelings.
I love being a storyteller and the most important for me is to explain a full day with hundreds of pictures full of small gestures, emotions, and love; rather than to only have just a couple of artistic shots or just one shot. I don’t like to put a portfolio of my work as it does not represent a full day cover by me. I prefer to show you an entire narrative and mood. For me an image needs context or a touch of art and emotions, to tell the truth.

María : How did I grow up ?
Particularly crazy about animals and dogs and for as long as I can remember I grew up surrounded by stray adopted dogs and rescued wild or domestic animals we encountered. Plants and nature always surrounded our home and my love and passion for art, design and new cultures pushed me to study International Relations.
I managed to study abroad on various occasions and a unique view on the world grew each time I started to parallely pursued aesthetic studies that captivated my interest in my free time. Always keen interest in art and always on the lookout for new and exciting forms of creative expression I started to develop my own designs in jewellery, floral design and floral sculpture.
