Documentary Wedding Photography & Cinematic Films in Costa Rica and Europe
I’m Christopher AlpÃzar, a visual storyteller blending documentary photography, cinematic filmmaking, and analog processes to create wedding imagery that feels lived instead of manufactured.
Some stories become photographs.
Others become films.
What matters most is that the work feels true to you.
For couples who care less about performance and more about presence.
Honest visual storytelling through photography, motion, and analog mediums.
Based in Costa Rica and seasonally in Barcelona, I work with couples across coastlines, cities, jungles, and mountains throughout Europe and Central America.

Destination Weddings in Costa Rica and Europe
Look closer. Every wedding holds a secret story beneath the surface. It lives in the tension, the relief, and the quiet way two people find each other in the crowd.
Photojournalism for Love Stories
A real moment
Kelsey and Colin planned every detail, but they didn’t plan for the sudden breeze that swept her veil just as he turned around. That unguarded wonder became their favorite image. I find the moments you didn’t plan, wherever your story takes you.
Let the day unfold. I’ll be there.
Trusted by couples traveling from the US, Canada, Asia, and Europe for destination weddings.
A calm presence for the chaos. A refined eye for the light. An honest record for the legacy.
Testimonials from Couples
“Christopher was amazing. Hired him to do our engagement photo’s in Costa Rica, we loved his work so much we hired him to be our wedding photographer in Mexico.
— Lilian V.
The quiet moments matter most.
Costa Rica Elopements and intimate weddings
I use 35mm and Super 8 film not for nostalgia, but for the way it forces a slower, more intentional observation of light. It captures the grain of the moment, creating a legacy that doesn’t expire with digital trends.
The result are images that feels cinematic and unmistakably yours. Not perfected. Remembered.
Not perfected. Remembered.
