I am a wedding photographer, working mainly in Ibiza and Formentera, but also in Spain and even abroad if I’m called upon to do so.
I love photographing every type of wedding and natural light photography. I’m particularly drawn by couples wishing to break with tradition and who opt for unconventional or more adventurous locations such as meadows, cliffs, beaches, private homes, castles, industrial warehouses, mountain retreats and chapels, etc., all of which would be accompanied by lavish decoration and a banquet. Couples today have the opportunity to organise and celebrate weddings that are completely different from any other. There are a thousand ideas for everyone, and each one distinct from all the rest. In fact, nowadays, we can say we have come to the point where there are as many different weddings as there are couples.
I aim to inject passion into my work by photographing these kinds of weddings, where the rules are broken and where I can really give full reign to my creativity. Telling your story is what fills me with excitement. Maybe one day I will get bored with it and opt for a new career, but just now nothing makes me feel more fortunate than my work. One important and gratifying aspect of my profession and what motivates me to continue with it are your messages of thanks and gratitude. In a previous life, I wasn’t congratulated for anything I did, but now through my humble job, I receive gratitude every day.
