Europe Destination Wedding Photographer
The best part of getting married in Europe isn't Europe.
It's everyone you love, together somewhere extraordinary.
The laughter, the long dinners, the unexpected moments, and the feeling of having everyone there. I'll photograph the celebration as it unfolds, so you can enjoy it now and remember how it felt for years to come.
THE WEDDING YOU'RE PLANNING
It's more than
a wedding day.
It begins before the wedding. With the excitement of everyone arriving, familiar faces appearing around the table, and friends who haven't seen each other in years picking up exactly where they left off. Then come the long lunches, the late nights, the ceremony, the celebration, and the morning when nobody is quite ready to say goodbye.
You're creating a few extraordinary days with the people you love. The photographs should remember that too.

OUR APPROACH
Your wedding is not one day.
The wedding is the reason everyone comes together. But some of the happiest memories happen in the days surrounding it.
Arrival- Welcome
- Day Between
- Wedding Day
- Morning After
The first embraces at the welcome dinner. Your parents laughing with old friends. Conversations that continue long after everyone was supposed to go to bed. By the time the wedding arrives, the celebration has already begun. And when it's over, there are still stories being made.
Those moments deserve to be remembered too.
PHOTOGRAPHY & FILM
Documentary when life happens.
Editorial when it helps.
The best wedding photographs come from moments worth living. Your father's expression during the ceremony. Your friends laughing around the table. The excitement of a dance floor nobody wants to leave. I'll be there for those moments without interrupting them. And when a little direction makes a photograph more beautiful, I'll step in, find the right light, and make sure you have portraits you'll love.
Then the celebration continues, exactly where you left it.
Different ways of rememberingEUROPE AS PART OF THE STORY
Extraordinary places.
Real moments.
Imagine a long dinner beneath the olive trees in Tuscany. Your friends arriving at a villa in Mallorca. The last light falling over Lake Como while everyone gathers for another glass of wine.
These are the places you've dreamed of sharing with the people you love. And for a few days, they become part of your story. The architecture, the food, the landscape, the atmosphere. All the little things that made being there so wonderful.
I'll photograph those memories with the same care as the ceremony itself.
PHOTOGRAPHY / FILM / MEMORY
Some memories deserve to be held.
Others deserve to move again.
Digital photography, medium-format film and Super 8 each remember a celebration differently. Together, they bring back not just the beautiful portraits, but the people, the atmosphere and everything that made those days yours.
ANALOG WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN EUROPE
Some photographs feel like memories from the very beginning.
The warmth of afternoon light. Your friends leaning into each other at dinner. A hand on your shoulder just before the ceremony. Those little moments that become more precious as the years pass.
There's a feeling to photographs made on film. The colors, the grain, the soft edges of the light, the small imperfections that make everything feel real. Not an effect added afterward, but the character of analog photography itself.
I bring film wedding photography into the way I tell your story, alongside digital coverage. Some frames are quiet portraits, others are the unexpected, unposed moments happening all around you. You can stay with your people, enjoy the celebration, and let the photographs happen naturally.
Whether you're planning a destination wedding in Spain, Italy, France or elsewhere in Europe, analog film can be part of your wedding memories. I use real photographic film, including 35mm and medium-format, choosing what feels right for the light and the moment.
These are photographs you'll want to print, keep close, and return to. Not because they look like another era, but because they bring back the people and the happiness you shared.
Real film, developed and scanned. Analog wedding photography is available according to your chosen collection.
02 / SUPER 8 WEDDING FILMS
Your memories,
moving again.
Your friends arriving. The movement of a dress in the breeze. The first dance, the long dinner, the joy of everyone being together.
Super 8 captures those moments on real motion-picture film, with its unmistakable texture, movement and beautiful imperfections. It's not a digital filter. It's another way to remember how the celebration felt.
Depending on your collection, Super 8 can become part of a wedding film that also brings together digital footage, music and separately recorded voices.
REAL MOTION PICTURE FILMWATCH THE MOMENTS MOVE AGAIN
Super 8 film is recorded without sound. When a collection includes vows, speeches or other voices, the audio is captured separately.
THE COMPLETE MEMORY
Photographs to hold.
Films to return to.
You don't have to choose every format. We'll find the right combination of digital photography, medium-format film, Super 8 and printed keepsakes for the way you're celebrating.

CHRISTOPHER ALGA / CRISSORAMA
A calm presence.
A destination perspective.
After more than 18 years photographing weddings, I've learned that the most beautiful moments are often the ones nobody planned. The expression on someone's face when they see you for the first time. The conversations between generations. The unexpected moments that become everyone's favorite memories.
My background in documentary photography, including training with Magnum Photos and VII Photo, has shaped the way I see those moments. I know when to observe, when to anticipate, and when a little editorial direction can create something extraordinary.
Working between Costa Rica and Barcelona, I bring that experience to destination weddings across Europe, photographing celebrations in English and Spanish.
