The real vibration capturing something behind the viewfinder, whether it is a certain look of a man standing in the aisle waiting for...s beloved bride, a moment of the mother hugging her daughter so passionately during the ceremony or even the smallest details of that bride's cute nephew's socks. I have always love photography, but it was not until I got my first dslr camera that I was able to explore all that a camera had to offer.
I am not from a wealthy family and saving for my first dslr camera was an excitement in my life. I still remember those days where i used to serve as a computer technician, freelance web designer, cashier and even waiter just to save and buy my first camera. I took hundreds and thousands of pictures and just really basked in the fun of it all. I earned my Electro Optical Laser Engineering degree from National Chiao Tung University, which in there I learned about color engineering and enables me to work great with managing color and printing pictures.
I enjoyed the many compliments I received on my pictures, but had not thought about sharing this passion and talent beyond my families and friends. I just got lucky. How many people get to actually say they love what they do? I am among those few that truly enjoy their job. I am constantly trying to be more creative and I appreciate it when my clients can trust me enough to do so. I enjoy the every moments and bits of picture sessions.
Other than that, you should know I thrive on coffee, chocolate and coke. I like dogs. I love babies. I am totally tangential thinker, but trust me, there's always a connecting thread. Well, almost always.Read More

Everything started when I was an AFS exchange student in the US. My interest for getting to experience and learn with different cultures...s the beginning of a life as a photographer. From selling pictures to surfers at the beach while attending Graphic Design/Photography University to being an internationally awarded life-style wedding photographer, it's been more than 15 years on the road. During all these years, I had a chance of traveling around the world and developing my interest for documenting people´s everyday life as well as moments that make life worth living.
Besides shooting weddings, I also photograph for commercial picture agencies such as Getty Images and many other editorial articles in magazines and books. Children Photography is also a big part of my life and as I have three little ones of my own. Children interaction with the bridal party is often a recurring subject on my wedding pictures. From Stockholm to the world, being able to communicate in Portuguese, English, Swedish, Spanish and Italian, I feel honored to be chosen to share one of the happiest moments of a couple's life.Read More
