Father, husband, photographer. The person behind the photographs.

Born in Peru, home in Barcelona since the '90s. I live here with my wife Julia and our daughter Siena, who reminds me every day why moments matter.

I trained in photojournalism at IDEP Barcelona — learning to observe before shooting, to be invisible when needed and present when it counts. I've photographed weddings across three continents, but nothing taught me more than becoming a father. Now I understand what it truly means to want to stop time.

Why I photograph weddings

You don't hire a photographer for pretty photos. You hire one because you're afraid the day will fade. That fear is real — and it's why I take on a limited number of weddings each year. Every couple deserves my full attention, not a fraction of it.

I shoot documentary-style: honest, unposed, invisible. No forced smiles. Just you, being you. If you want perfection, I'm not your photographer. If you want authenticity, let's talk.

Beyond the camera

You'll find me exploring the nature with Siena, pulling espresso as a trained barista, or lost in a new recipe. Food, like photography, is about care and attention — the best of both are made slowly, shared with people you love. Cinema taught me how light and silence tell a story; it shows up in every frame I shoot.

The journey so far

More than ten years photographing weddings across Spain — Barcelona, Girona, the Balearics — and on three continents. Hundreds of weddings later, every couple still teaches me something new.

Beyond weddings

Photography, for me, has always been bigger than any single event. I document people, places and everyday life — with the same quiet attention I bring to a wedding ceremony. I co-founded Jacaranda, a specialty coffee and bakery in Barcelona. It keeps me grounded in what matters: craft, care, and the pleasure of making something with your hands.
