Well, this wedding took a bit longer to come, last year Maxine & Isaias hired my services for their big day, but it had to be postponed because their son arrived sooner than expected – so I did their maternity photos instead-.
Their wedding day arrived, the civil ceremony took place at their family place in Coatepeque Lake, it was a small venue filled with joy and happiness. They make such a beautiful couple!
These are some of the photos from that day.
This is probably the first wedding photoshoot I’ve done after 2020, which is kind wonderful because I thought I would not be doing weddings again.
It’s very rewarding, personally speaking, that your friends trust you with such an important venue like this, to make their photos and be a part of a celebration.
Giulianna and Carlos have been together for years, based in Amsterdam, they decided to come back to El Salvador and have their union blessed with their families together.
I’m thankful they made me a part of it by capturing their wonderful party.
Part of my younger years were spent doing a lot of sports, but I had a thing for gymnastics which I got to practice for six or seven years.
That’s why I felt so happy when I got a call to do a photoshoot before a competition, I was thrilled to do it!
It brought me back to those days when training was hard, so hard you could see your hands peeled off and it didn’t matter, when you get to the point when you challenge your body, when you know you have your limits and still feel the need to try it until you make it right. I must say that gimnastics shaped me a lot into the person I am today.
When I was in there, I felt like if I could I would do it again, then I remembered my physical capacity ain’t the same as it used to…
But it was fun to go back in there with my camera!
Meaning of SEARCH in German, in this case the story had to be told through a dancing act, which I witnessed from the early rehearsals.
It goes by these kids’ school history until their last year, and how one of their classmates gets lost along the path… At the end, he’s found by all of his friends joining together in a big party.
I witnessed all the sacrifice made by these kids, their families, even in the middle of exams and with so little time for their studies, but the show was outstanding, it was fun to hear the public so excited about it!!
Soon! We will be able to watch Boneyard, a documentary on YouTube, which is about four boys that decided to make music, back in the day, we’re talking about late 80’s- early 90’s.
I joined them -camera in hand-, right before the official presentation, at this bar, we shared a couple of beers and good conversation while doing my shots.
These guys have been part of the rock scene for quite some years now, and it can be a struggle to develop any type of art in a country which can be culturally limited. What I do see, is that all these efforts to keep the music history coming forward to new generations, are going to pay off sometime ahead. And it’s a good thing for new generations to see.
The World Surfing Leage (WSL) made its very first stop in El Salvador this past week in Punta Roca, known for having the best righthand point break in Central America.
Too bad we got hit by storms these past few days which made the conditions a bit too difficult to start the tournament right on schedule. So the pressure was on to make the best out of it.
Maybe next time Punta Roca will show itself for what it really is.
I got the chance to go and take a few shots both times I went. Still I’m learning a lot about the sports I wish I could have learnt when younger.
This had me with mixed emotions… On one hand, just the thought of being their official photographer through the years, this time having the chance to document their last concert… The very last one.
On the other hand, having the honor of covering their most important venues, being a part of it all through my lens… I feel grateful, and will always be.
The farewell venue happened at the Black Coyote Theater, it felt most like an MTV Unplugged (sort of), but absolutely electrifying! The crowd’s reactions and interactions were just there, it all had me jumping around with my camera while capturing those moments.
Unforgettable.
I specially like to thank my dear friend Aaron Sztarkmann (the greatest bass player there is) for putting such job on my hands and eyes.
And so it all began…
I have decided to review my not so old material, and I ran into this folder from 2015, I found these lovely photos I did while working with Pixelarte.
I think it was probably one of the first weddings I took pictures of (while that photography project lasted).
These are the pics of Rafael & Gaby’s wedding!
31 de Agosto, si…31 de Agosto de 2019 tenía yo anotado desde hacía unos meses la tan esperada reaparición de Adrenalina sobre el escenario, pero esta vez no fue en un auditorio cualquiera sino en el Teatro Nacional de San Salvador, recinto histórico por donde han pasado tantos artistas de diferentes connotaciones!
Como siempre, me gusta moverme por todas partes, un poco de incógnito si es posible, aunque no tanto pues sonando los clicks de aquí y allá, salieron estas imágenes para la posteridad del Rock en El Salvador.
Impresionante ver el sold-out dentro del lugar!
Particularmente me emociona!
Gracias chicos por volver a confiar en mi para documentar el evento!
A few months ago, I had the chance to work some photos for Rosi and Roberto, they had a small civil ceremony. Pretty exciting after a few years of being together.
The chemestry shows between them, also their families were so happy that they’re finally together as a married couple.
