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 one. While she captures the quiet, fleeting moments—like a child drifting off during the ceremony or your grandmother’s tear—I’m there for the bigger emotions: the embraces, the glances, and the energy you and your family bring to the day. Head and soul. Technique and art. Working in perfect sync, so nothing meaningful is missed.

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, and Sweet 15 parties. 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 stage of life, your greatest treasure still relies on you to make the most important decisions. She may not yet be fully independent—but she soon will be. She’s just beginning this meaningful step toward adulthood, and in your hands lies the responsibility of how this moment will be remembered.

    As parents and godparents, you have the power to choose how this transition, from childhood to maturity, is documented. The way you decide to preserve these memories becomes an emotional legacy, one that will live on through future generations.

    My name is Gabriel Ante, a professional photographer with over ten years of experience capturing weddings and events in Romania (Europe) and now in Mexico. To me, memory is the most valuable thing we possess. It's something no amount of money can ever replace.

    I’m here to capture every instant, every emotion, every smile, and every tear, so that with the passing of time, you can return to these moments and feel them all over again.

    You can trust that each emotion and every meaningful detail will be preserved in images that speak for themselves. Timeless, honest, and lasting 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 Photoshop. I stay involved, I connect, I feel every moment, and I remain until your story is complete. That’s how authentic, personal memories are created.

    Photographs that truly feel like you.

    I like to get to know my clients and the Sweet 15 birthday girl, and understand their photographic preferences before the celebration. That’s how every image, idea, and session is shaped around you. There’s no copy-and-paste here, only authentic stories.

    No rush. No forced poses.

    I don’t work against the clock. I stay as long as the moment requires, guiding you naturally so everything flows. When you’re enjoying yourselves, the camera feels it.

    Every image edited with care.

    Nothing is delivered automatically. Every photograph is reviewed and edited by hand, one by one. Because if your story is unique, your gallery should be as well. And yes, I can deliver more than a thousand images from a Sweet 15 celebration.

    Everything secure. Everything clear.

    A formal contract, secure file backups for three years, a second photographer, and full backup equipment. Nothing is left to chance. I come fully prepared so you can focus on living your day.

    600+ images, always

    You’ll receive a minimum of 600 professionally edited photographs, because every moment matters. I believe in giving you more so you can relive every detail without missing a thing.

    Full-day coverage included.

    All collections include complete photographic coverage of your wedding day, from the preparations to the celebration.

    Ready to choose me as your photographer?

    • You know the photos will be what remains long after the celebration ends.
    • You want to preserve your memories beyond a toast or a dance.
    • You value quality and are willing to invest in what truly matters.
    • You understand your story deserves to be told with intention, not just recorded.

    Signature Package — Event Day

    This package is designed for those who want to fully enjoy their day without worrying about a thing. I document every moment, from beginning to end, without limits or rushing. Your complete story, told with care and intention, 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’m with you throughout the entire day, no clock, no rushing. We begin with the preparations, follow every meaningful moment of the ceremony, and close the day with the vibrant energy of the celebration. The presence of a second photographer is essential. While I focus on capturing the key moments the Sweet 15 birthday girl shares with her family, my partner concentrates on the details that complete the story, the venue décor, spontaneous guest reactions, and all those subtle moments that bring the celebration to life. Together, we ensure nothing meaningful is missed.

    One month before the event, or on the day itself, we create a special, one-of-a-kind photo session with the Sweet 15 girl, focused on timeless, unforgettable portraits. These are the images every Sweet 15 dreams of. The ones worth sharing, cherishing, and remembering for years to come. We make sure to capture that princess or prince energy they’ve imagined since childhood, highlighting personality, confidence, and natural beauty in every frame. This session can be just for the Sweet 15, or, if you prefer, it can include family as well, preserving the love and connection that surround this meaningful day.

    Included is a 20×24-inch laminated and framed photograph, featuring your favorite image from the celebration or from the photo session held before the event. You choose. This piece is more than a photograph; it’s a work of art and a tangible keepsake of such a meaningful day, designed to be displayed at home and cherished for years to come.

    You’ll receive all the photographs from the event in digital format, professionally edited. The final gallery typically includes 600 to 800 images or more, depending on the intensity and magic of the moments we capture. Every photograph is crafted with care to ensure the memories feel as vibrant and emotional as the day itself.

    Every image is edited with care. Each photograph is refined individually, with close attention to light, color, and style. You’ll receive images at the highest quality, ready to print, share, and preserve.

    Enjoy a private online gallery available for three months, making it easy to view, download, and share your photos with friends and family. This gallery allows you to relive the most meaningful moments and share the joy of the celebration with those who couldn’t attend or with anyone who wants to experience every moment again.

    Your memories are protected with a secure cloud backup for three years from final delivery. This ensures that the images from your special day remain safe and accessible so you can revisit and share them whenever you wish.
