Born in Honduras from a family with a long artistic tradition that includes painters, musicians and writers I developed a strong love for the artistic side of documenting life and family traditions. The camera as the tool allows me to immortalize the moment, capture the essence in its most artistic expression.
Weddings are one of the most important human celebrations. I feel honored to be able to capture the emotion and the feelings of the day. I stay aside as an observer, ready to document the joy and spirit of the day.
The result of my artistic vision is a collection of unique photographs that truly reflects the spirit, romance, and emotion of your wedding.
I have formal training in digital image processing and photography. I worked for several Oregon University publications and was the photo editor for the OSU Yearbook.
My artistic work has recently been featured on Studio Photography and Design Magazine, Country Weekly Magazine, Eugene Magazine Online, Shutterbug Magazine, The Oregon Stater, The Daily Barometer, La Tribuna, Ask.com, El Heraldo, Wedding Photojournalism Website, Professional Photographers of Oregon Website, several wedding books and websites. Throughout my artistic career I had several exhibits throughout the US and Latin America.
As a Fashion Photographer I have worked with renowned US and International models and designers.
I will be honored to put all of my artistic talent to photograph your wedding !!!
