About Me

I’m Gabriel, the photographer who will capture your big day.

Romanian photographer based in Tuxpan, Jalisco, the town of endless celebration. I fell so deeply in love with capturing weddings and meaningful events that I chose to stay where the celebration never truly ends. Love is the most beautiful thing there is, and that’s why I document it with soul. So it can be remembered forever.

Mi sueño - una realidad

A team in life and at every event.

She focuses on the details; I focus on the emotion..
Lorena, my wife, and I work as a team. While she captures those gentle, fleeting moments, like a godparent’s tender gaze toward the baby, or a tiny hand raised during the blessing, I focus on the embraces, the laughter, the grandparents’ emotion, and the love floating through the air.

We are technique and heart, sensitivity and perfect timing. Working together so not a single moment of this day, filled with faith, family, and love, is ever lost.

Get to know us better.
Spoiler: We're adorable!

    • Why choose me as your photographer?

    Discover how my approach and experience elevate your wedding.

    I’ve photographed weddings and events across Europe and Latin America, allowing me to adapt seamlessly to different cultures, styles, and traditions, always with an artistic, authentic perspective.

    I bring the same level of commitment and passion to traditional weddings, destination celebrations, elopements, Sweet 15 parties, baptisms, and first communions. I love capturing moments surrounded by nature, with a relaxed and intimate feel—but I’m equally inspired by local traditions, family rituals, and the vibrant energy of larger celebrations. I adapt to your style, your setting, and the story you want to tell.

    I speak Spanish, English, Romanian, and a bit of Italian. I take the time to listen and understand what truly matters to you, so we can plan every detail together, without confusion or unnecessary stress. From our first call to the final delivery, I’m fully present and available. My goal is to make the entire experience feel seamless, clear, and effortless.

    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.

    Dear parents, godparents, and loved ones

    I know that at this meaningful stage, your little treasure still depends on you for everything. They are still very young and need your guidance in their first steps of faith. Whether it’s their first sacrament or a moment of spiritual growth like First Communion, you hold the power to decide how this special day will be remembered.

    As parents or godparents, you carry the beautiful responsibility of preserving this chapter. What is lived today with emotion and joy will become an invaluable memory tomorrow — one that will accompany your child throughout their life. The way you choose to safeguard these moments becomes part of your family’s story, an emotional legacy for generations to come.

    My name is Gabriel Ante, a professional photographer with over ten years of experience telling stories through my lens. I began photographing weddings and events in Romania (Europe), and I now have the privilege of doing so in Mexico. To me, memory is one of our greatest treasures, something neither time nor money can ever replace.

    I’m here to capture every gesture, every emotion, every glance, and every blessing. So that, as the years pass, these images can take you back to this sacred moment, filled with love, faith, and family.

    You can trust that every emotion and every meaningful instant will be preserved with care and sensitivity, in images that speak for themselves… forever.
    There’s nothing rushed here.

    This isn’t a click and goodbye approach.

    My package has a kind of magic and no, it’s not just Photoshop. I get involved, I connect, I feel every moment, and I make sure your story is told in full. That’s how authentic, personal memories are created.

    Photographs that truly feel like you.

    I like to get to know families before the big day, to understand what you value and which moments matter most to you. That’s what allows every image to be created with intention and care.

    No rush. No forced poses.

    No generic sessions. No forced poses. Everything here is real, personal, and full of meaning. Only authentic stories, just like yours.

    Every image edited with care.

    Nothing is delivered automatically. I carefully select and edit every photograph, one by one, because every story deserves its own level of care.

    Everything secure. Everything clear.

    A clear contract, secure backups for three years, and full backup equipment. Your memories aren’t improvised, they’re protected.

    I deliver every meaningful image.

    You receive all the photographs that deserve to be part of your gallery, because every gesture, glance, or embrace can become a lifelong memory. I’d rather give you more than leave something out.

    Signature Package — Event Day

    This package is designed for those who want to fully enjoy their day without worrying about a thing. I capture every moment with intention and sensitivity, from the ceremony through the celebration, with flexible timing and close, attentive guidance throughout. Your story deserves to be told with care and unhurried attention. The package Includes:

    • Fun, naturally guided photography by Gabriel Ante
    • Personalized, unlimited guidance before, during, and after the event
    • All the benefits of my packages, always included, without exception

    I’ll be by your side for five hours of thoughtfully curated coverage, arranged in flexible blocks that adapt naturally to the flow of your day. As a guideline, we often suggest:
    – 1.5 hours for the ceremony and a brief pre-ceremony sessionand
    – 3.5 hours for the reception or post-ceremony celebration.

    Everything can be personalized to fit your timeline and plans. If you need additional coverage, extra hours can be added at $2,500 MXN per hour.

    Before the ceremony, we begin with a quiet, intimate family session. This is the most ideal moment—your little one is rested, calm, and everything unfolds gently, without rush.

    We capture the details that truly matter: the outfit, delicate accessories, final preparations, and those tender moments shared with mom, dad, and godparents.

    From there, I continue documenting the ceremony itself, honoring the blessing and its meaning. We then close with family portraits and natural, candid moments during the celebration or reception—images filled with connection, joy, and authenticity.

    If you’d like a more formal portrait of your child—perfect for a framed print or simply to have serene, timeless images—you may add a 1-hour pre-event session, scheduled on any day of your choice with at least four weeks’ notice. This session is offered at a special rate of $1,250 MXN, representing 50% off my regular fee.

    This experience is designed to preserve the entire journey: from the quiet anticipation before the ceremony to the joy shared with the people who matter most.

    We include a 20×24-inch laminated and framed photograph, featuring your favorite image from the baptism day—chosen by you once you’ve received the full gallery.
