DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN SPAIN, ITALY, FRANCE & WORLDWIDE
for loved up souls
EDITORIAL | DOCUMENTARY | NATURAL | CREATIVE
I never imagined being an introvert would be an advantage when I was a boy. I spent endless hours escaping into comic books and tales from around the world, travelling through time and space without taking a single step.
Then, when I got behind the lens, I found a new escapism, one that enabled me to capture effortless moments and lock them in time. A simple brush of a hand against a cheek, a lone bird flying across the open sky, an old man watching time pass with a cigarette hanging loosely from his lip. I started out as a street photographer, observing silently from the sidelines. This is the essence of how I work today, 10 years on. I let moments unfold and capture them to create natural wedding photos.
My Philosophy
IF YOUR LIFE IS A STORY, LET ME BE THE DIRECTOR
I'm deeply privileged to be invited into the intimate moments of couples' lives. Every session with each couple fuels my inspiration, driving the evolution of my unique photography style. While I'm constantly challenging myself to innovate and embrace new styles, the heart of my approach lies in creating a genuine space of intimacy. I prioritize allowing couples to immerse themselves in the luxury destination wedding experience.
Despite some initial hesitations many of my couples might feel about being photographed, it's crucial to me that they find joy and comfort throughout our session. Truth be told, by the time we're engrossed, most are so invested they're rarely ready for our session to conclude.
My Fav Things
I CAN WATCH THE SAME FILM A HUNDRED TIMES TO ENJOY ITS CINEMATOGRAPHY, I ENJOY MY LITTLE PLEASURES...
I confess that I’m a nerd. I can spend days on end absorbed in comics, indie movies, listening to podcasts about history, or anything interesting for that matter. I have a curious mind and I push myself to become better in every area of my life.
I am a person who falls in love with the small pleasures of life. I have learned to enjoy every day, whether it's a walk with my dogs or a good conversation over wine.
When I'm not working, which is not often, I don't stop creating. Whether it's a podcast, a new project or planning a trip for the future. I'm one of those people who never get bored.
I'm passionate about a good book, a motorcycle ride without anyone knowing where I am, or just a time of contemplation.
Although, if given the choice, a good movie with my wife is all I need to have a perfect day.
My Universe
“AROUND HERE, HOWEVER, WE DON'T LOOK BACKWARD FOR VERY LONG. WE KEEP MOVING FORWARD, OPENING UP NEW DOORS AND DOING NEW THINGS BECAUSE WE'RE CURIOUS...AND CURIOSITY KEEPS LEADING US DOWN NEW PATHS.”
Inspiration can appear anywhere, but when you're curious, even the most mundane things become incredible in your eyes.
Ever since I was little, I've looked up at the sky, ever since I knew we were floating in a giant ball in an infinite universe. I was captivated by the idea of our own fragility and the magic of us being here.
A gesture of two old men in the street, the color of palm trees in a Costa Rican sunset or the melody of a song coming from a balcony as we pass by.
The beauty of capturing a wedding is precisely that – that everything is reproduced, in a single space and a single day. Magical, don't you think?
My Support
"SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY, WE MUST LEARN THAT THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN TO DO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS."
Opi, three letters that changed my whole world.
She is my everything, you know, I guess if you're in the web you have to feel these emotions for someone. I cannot express here how full this woman makes me feel.
At the same time, she is the most incredible wedding planner in the world and we're sooo good together.
But let her work speak about her, I love her too much to be objective...
I have two beautiful dogs too, Gurú and Dante, that gave us all the possible love we can get, just the perfect family.
Love

"Joy is not just a wedding photographer, he is a passionate, respectful and dedicated person in everything he does, and that makes everything he touches magical.
Her photography is delicacy, pure essence, naturalness."
- Cesar & Maitane
"He did so much more than take beautiful photos... He captured the very mood and essence of the day and who we are as a couple. Not many vendors take the time and effort to create work of this quality."
