About me
Wedding photographer in Costa Rica & Barcelona
My Journey: From Curious Observer to Storyteller
My story begins between two vibrant Latin American countries—Costa Rica and Colombia—where the colors, cultures, and landscapes of my dual heritage shaped my perspective from childhood. As a curious observer, I discovered early on that every moment tells a story, and every story deserves to be captured with authenticity and heart.
After years of shooting everything from news stories to commercial shoots, I found my true calling in wedding photography. What began as a childhood fascination with art and observation gradually transformed into a passionate pursuit of documenting the most intimate human connections.
Growing up between Costa Rica and Colombia, I was surrounded by a rich tapestry of experiences. The Alpízar roots of Costa Rica and the Gaviria legacy of Colombia weren’t just names, but a profound cultural inheritance that taught me to see the world through a lens of connection and emotion. My family, the lush landscapes, and the people around me became my first teachers in the art of storytelling.
Today, my cultural journey continues in a beautiful, unexpected way. I’m now a family man, married to a remarkable woman from Cataluña, Spain, who works as an environmental educator. Her perspective has added yet another layer to my understanding of human connection and cultural diversity. Together, we’re raising our beautiful baby daughter, who represents the culmination of my life’s most profound storytelling—a living narrative of love, heritage, and hope.
I believe every love story deserves to be captured authentically. Based between the beautiful beaches of Costa Rica and the charming streets of Barcelona (where my wife calls home!), I love capturing those real, unscripted moments that make each wedding special. Whether it’s happy tears, belly laughs, or quiet glances, I’m here to turn those precious moments into memories you can hold onto forever.
Art, literature, science, and design have always inspired me, but more recently, I’ve turned my attention to nature as a source of inspiration and admiration. With its simplicity and clear purpose, I find inspiration to live a simple and meaningful life. And last but not least, I’m in love—deeply in love. With my wife, with my daughter, with my family and friends; I truly believe in it and I’m thrilled to honor it through my work.
My approach to photography is deeply humanistic. I’m not just capturing images; I’m preserving moments that echo through generations. Whether documenting the intricate relationship between humans and nature or exploring the deep-rooted traditions of families and communities, I’ve always been drawn to the stories that often go untold.
Why Wedding Photography?
Weddings became my true calling—a perfect intersection of my passion for storytelling and my ability to capture genuine human connections. These celebrations are more than events; they’re living, breathing stories of love, heritage, and human emotion. Each wedding is a unique narrative waiting to be told, with nervous glances, shared promises, and reunions that transcend the moment.
Blending photojournalistic authenticity with fine art creativity, I’ve developed a unique approach that goes beyond traditional wedding photography. My goal is not just to document your day, but to create a visual legacy that reflects the true essence of your love and your story.
What’s Next?
Looking ahead, I dream of capturing love stories that cross continents – from the Americas to Europe and beyond. My promise is simple: to capture your day exactly as it unfolds. With all its unexpected laughs, happy tears, and tender moments. Because the most beautiful photos come from those real, unscripted times when you’re just being yourselves.
Costa Rica remains my home, my inspiration, and the backdrop to countless love stories I’ve had the privilege to capture. From the misty mountains to the sun-drenched beaches, this landscape is more than a location—it’s a character in every wedding story I tell.
“Photography is my language of love, my way of preserving the most precious moments of human connection.”

Music is one of my passions, good music, really love to sit and put all my attention to it. My favorite bands are Faith no more, The Clash and Los Prisioneros, NIN, Bowie, Austin TV, just to name a few. Thankfully I’m surrounded by people who also like and enjoy good music.
My favorite movie is Back to the Future, the trilogy. I also like more artsy, independent, hipster, deep movies like Fargo, Adaptation, Barry Lyndon, Mulholland Dr, and Trainspotting, but, BTTF will be always in the first place.
Doing sports, move my body and be aware of my capacities. Cycling, surfing, and more recently rock climbing and slacklining. I also practice yoga to keep my body in one piece after doing all mentioned before.
Art, literature, science, and design as well, but more recently I’ve turned my attention to nature as a source of inspiration and admiration. With its simplicity and clear purpose, I find inspiration to live a simple and meaningful life.
And last but not least, I’m in love, deeply in love. With my wife, with my daughter, with my family and friends; I truly believe in it and I’m thrilled to honor it with my work.
