Bold Moments - Photographing real life as it happens

"I photograph real life as it happens. One picture at a time, I tell wedding stories by documenting true moments and raw emotions. I do it with passion, happiness and perseverance. I’m discreet, but not shy and I feel very lucky that couples trust me to capture their wedding day."

Music, books, movies and magazines have always been interesting to me. Somewhere in between my natural curiosity for the human condition and all forms of storytelling, I got bitten by the travel bug. Right there, my passion for documentary and portrait photography was born. And with it, a long-time interest in the narrative possibilities of the photographic medium.

I was born in 1982, in Madrid, Spain, where I also completed my studies in photography and film/TV editing between 2000 and 2003. At the same time, I apprenticed with local photographers and eventually, around 2004, I started freelancing. For the following 9 years, I primarily worked as a portrait and unit still photographer also covering the occasional high-end event. Additionally, I worked in other fields like press, documentary, reportage, street, fashion, music, weddings, corporate, action/sports, pack shots, and art reproduction. Today, I consider myself a versatile professional with a varied background (click here to take a look at some of my other work).

Much earlier than that, when I was 3 years old, my parents put me on skis and it changed my
life forever. That's why in 2013, I moved to British Columbia. A few weeks before flying to Canada, I attended a friend’s wedding. I brought a little camera with me to document it all and I had a great time. I also discovered that wedding photography would allow me to create genuine memories through documentary series. After that, I decided that the next move in my career would be to photograph weddings. I called it Bold Moments and I’m very happy that I get to hang out with good people having fun for a living.
