Services
Costa Rica based & capturing stories worldwide.
Elopement
Intimate, unscripted, and all about you. I help plan and photograph elopements in stunning natural locations — from jungles to coastlines.
Photoshoot
Whether you’re celebrating love or life, we create laid-back, natural sessions perfect for proposals, engagements, couples, and families.
Wedding
From micro-weddings to full celebrations, we focus on the real stuff: connection, emotion, and all the moments in between. No awkward posing — just you, fully present.
Elopement
Redefined Your Love Story
Eloping in Costa Rica or anywhere in the world isn’t just about running away to get married — it’s about creating an intimate, meaningful celebration that’s truly yours. If you’ve ever thought, “I wish we could just elope,” you’re not alone. More couples today are choosing authentic elopements over traditional weddings to craft their perfect day.
Whether you’re dreaming of a private elopement ceremony in the jungle, on a beach, or atop a mountain, eloping lets you design a stress-free wedding experience that reflects your unique love story — free from expectations and full of genuine moments.
WEDDINGS
Capture Your Perfect Day, anywhere in the World.
Whether beneath tropical skies in Costa Rica or city lights across the globe, your wedding is a unique celebration of your love story. Surrounded by the colors, scents, and sounds that make your day special, every moment becomes timeless and unforgettable.
As a wedding photographer based in Costa Rica, I specialize in destination wedding photography that captures the real, raw emotions and magic of your day — from intimate beach weddings to elegant city celebrations, wherever your love takes you.
Bringing to life one-of-a-kind weddings and elopements in Costa Rica with intention, confidence, and a clear creative vision — experiences that feel like a dream you never want to end.
Every decision —from light to composition — is intentional, so your images feel elevated without ever feeling forced. You stay present, everything flows naturally, and the result is modern, effortless photography that reflects your wedding or elopement in Costa Rica exactly as it happened.
