I was born in Iași, Romania, a place where art and history are felt on every street. From a young age, expressing myself through art was my natural way of living: singing, dreaming, and celebrating emotions.

Music took me to stages as a DJ in Italy, but in my thirties I discovered my true passion: capturing stories through a camera.

Together with my wife, we traveled through Latin America and found our home in Mexico. Today, I live in Tuxpan, Jalisco, capturing real stories as a Wedding Photographer in Guadalajara and Colima—and proudly raising five cats.

Every image I capture aims not just to be seen, but to be felt and relived for generations to come

When I discovered that both laughter and tears also tell stories.

My own wedding

They say men don’t cry… but on my wedding day, I proved that’s completely a myth. When I saw my wife walking down the aisle, emotion overwhelmed me— voice trembling, heart bursting with joy. That “I do” was the start of a life filled with laughter, adventures, and days that aren’t always easy, but always together. Thanks to a professional photographer—who is also my friend—we relive it all every anniversary. Because it’s not just about having beautiful memories, it’s about experiencing them again and again. And that’s why, when I capture a wedding, I don’t do it like anyone else: I do it as someone who truly understands what that moment means.

When I’m not behind the camera…

I love nature

I love exploring the world, getting lost in nature, and capturing its true beauty. That was my first love… though I quickly learned that photos of clouds don’t pay for the kibble.

Home and Travel

I’m either at home with my wife and our cats, or off on new adventures, camping around the world. These are the two things that always keep my heart beating.

Music for the soul

I believe music has a unique power: it amplifies what we feel. I love hip hop that speaks to the heart, the power of classical music, and I let every note drive my dreams, my travels, and the way I see life.
More than numbers: moments that shaped my life

Why do I do what I do?

  • For me, making a living doing what you love is the greatest gift you can have.
  • Photography isn’t just my work. It’s the way I understand and experience emotions.
  • Weddings give me the spark that keeps my love for telling real stories alive.
  • Capturing the most important day of a couple’s life is, for me, a life mission.
  • I know how important it is to trust the person who will preserve your most valuable memories.
  • That’s why I connect with every couple. So they feel supported and completely at ease.
  • I don’t just capture images. I create a bridge between today’s moments and memories that last.

Why work with me?

I’ve photographed weddings across Europe and Latin America, which has allowed me to adapt to different cultures, styles, and traditions—always with an artistic and authentic perspective. After several years documenting stories around the world, I decided to settle in Mexico, where I now offer my services as a Wedding Photographer in Guadalajara and Colima.

As a Wedding Photographer in Guadalajara and Colima, I work with the same commitment and passion on traditional weddings, destination weddings, and elopements. I love capturing moments in nature, with a relaxed and intimate vibe, but I also deeply enjoy documenting local traditions, family rituals, and the unique energy of large celebrations. I adapt to your style, your surroundings, and the story you want to tell.

As a Wedding Photographer in Guadalajara and Colima, I’m here to support you from the first call to the final delivery. I’ll be with you every step of the way, working closely to ensure your experience is comfortable, clear, and stress-free.

I speak Spanish, English, Romanian, and a bit of Italian. I make sure to listen and truly understand what matters most to you, so we can plan every detail together without misunderstandings.

I work with professional cameras, a range of lenses, drones, microphones, and reliable technical backups. I always carry duplicate equipment to be prepared for any situation. Nothing is left to chance.

We sign a contract, provide an invoice, and guarantee quality throughout the entire process—from coverage to the delivery of your materials.

I’m based in Tuxpan, Jalisco, and my base pricing covers weddings and events in Guadalajara, Sayula, Tapalpa, Mazamitla, Chapala, Ajijic, southern Jalisco, and the Colima–Manzanillo area. If you’re planning your wedding elsewhere in Mexico, I’m happy to travel. For special destinations, I offer custom quotes that include travel and accommodation, always focused on delivering the best possible experience. Wherever love takes you, I’ll be there to document it.

All your materials are delivered carefully edited, with consistency and style, so you can relive your wedding exactly as you felt it—again and again.

All your footage is securely backed up, both in the cloud and on physical hard drives, so your memories are always protected, no matter what.

I love photography with all my heart. I want to leave a real mark, not just images or videos. I want to tell love stories that are felt today and remembered for generations.

If you want to see how I do it, follow me on Instagram or Facebook. There, I share real moments, living stories, and lots of love behind the lens.

I capture the unique essence of each couple with authenticity, empathy, and a documentary style, along with a gentle guiding touch so every story feels real and personal.

My commitment to your story

  • I truly get involved. I don’t aim to be just your photographer, but someone you trust to help you relive your story again and again.
  • I get to know each couple: understanding their essence to capture their love just as it is, without masks.
  • I tell unique stories: I don’t just cover events, I capture real, one-of-a-kind memories.
  • I work with heart: I treat each story as I would my own, with respect, emotion, and intention.
  • I create connections, not just images, so every memory feels alive, authentic, and timeless.
I don’t work alone.

Two cameras, one heart.

Together, we see, feel, and tell each story through two hearts beating in sync.

Lorena, my adventures partner

In life and at every wedding, Lorena is my closest partner (and the one who always remembers where we left the second camera).

She’s not just my wife: she’s my second set of eyes, capturing the laughs, the tears, and all the beautiful chaos that happens when no one is watching.

We understand each other without words, covering for one another and seeing what the other might miss. (Just like at weddings… and at home, too.)

And yes: we treat every memory as if it were our own, so you can relive your story again and again.

We capture moments, we protect memories

We work with professional cameras to capture your memories with the quality they deserve. Technique matters, but what truly makes the difference is the heart with which we see.

If you want the technical details, we’re happy to share them with you.

The essential thing is knowing that we provide real quality, full backup, and that your story will be protected at all times.
