Welcome

Specialized in small and intimate weddings and elopements all over Europe, with more than 220 weddings in the last 8 years.

I focus on telling the story of your wedding day in the most natural way possible. My approach is cinematic, epic, organic, and unstaged but still, you will receive thousands of images of your big day to revive it from details to strong family and portrait shots.

If you are creative, want to enjoy your day with friends and family, and are shy in front of the camera but still value photography, I will be the perfect choice for the most important day of your life.

I am a gif maker, photographer, and videographer using modern technology cameras and more nostalgic video cameras Super 8, camcorder, analog 35mm, and small disposable cameras to give you a different experience.

It is more than photography.

Emotional Photographer documenting emotional Weddings.

Since July 2014, I document your intimate wedding, Minimony, Sequel Wedding, Micro wedding or Adventurous Elopement, proposal, and engagement and I have seen a lot of love stories, full of joy and emotions. It has a lot of different names but only the story matters. I am moved by telling the story of your day in the most natural and genuine way possible. No need to spend one hour behind the church with me to take the couple's photographs, I will always value letting you spend time with family and friends. This is your day, not mine.

Most of my couples define themselves as shy in front of the camera, I believe simply they don’t know how easy it is to spend a few simple moments with their partner in front of my camera. I will follow you from getting ready to the dance floor in the most natural way possible. To deliver a poetic and unique vision of the most important day of your life.
I have a lot of experience and expertise in traveling around Europe mostly. For the last 6 years, I have covered most of my weddings abroad and overseas.


I believe I can help you with my experience and advice for a perfect wedding day. I have prepared some articles to help you to find the right place to get married or to be inspired in some places like Spain, The Balearic Islands such as Ibiza, Mallorca,… Mexico, Morocco, and of course Portugal. I have also written an article about the most underrated locations in Europe to have your small and intimate wedding with friends.
