ABOUT COLOMBIA
Colombia is where old world ceremony meets raw tropical energy.
Colonial architecture, lush mountain landscapes, Caribbean coastline. Every region is a different world.
I've shot destination weddings across Colombia, from the walled city of Cartagena to the coffee farms of the Eje Cafetero, the haciendas outside Bogota, and the clifftop villas above Barichara. Each location has its own light, its own pace, its own sense of occasion.
Colombia rewards photographers who come prepared. The equatorial light is intense and shifts quickly. The settings are extraordinary and varied. I know how to move through a Colombian wedding day and come back with images that feel both cinematic and true to the place.
My approach in Colombia
Cinematic, unhurried,
always honest.
I don't direct. I observe, anticipate, and disappear into the background until the light and the emotion align. Then I'm exactly where I need to be.
Colombia's light demands fast decisions. The equatorial midday is brutal. Golden hour arrives sharp and short. I plan every timeline around those windows so the images look effortless even when the conditions are not.
My work has been featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, The New York Times, Over The Moon, and Magnolia Rouge. I've been named one of Rangefinder's 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography.
