Hey!

I'm Carlos

Documenting love, honestly and intentionally.


Every couple has their own rhythm, their own way of loving. As a Monterey wedding photographer, my goal is to honor that, to slow down time and capture what truly matters, the way your hands reach for each other without thinking, the look in your eyes before the vows, and the quiet in-between moments no one else sees but you’ll never forget.


Located in the Monterey area, I document authentic, heartfelt love stories across Monterey County and Big Sur. I focus on real, raw emotions with care and intention. You don’t need to pose or perform, you just need to be present. I’ll guide you gently so you can feel relaxed, confident, and fully yourself in front of the camera. When you look back at your wedding photos. I want you to feel it all again, the laughter, the butterflies, the joy of your wedding day. These aren’t just beautiful photos,  they’re timeless memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime and share with all your family and friends.

"Carlos took both our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Not only did he perfectly capture the moments we had discussed, he also has such a great eye for encapsulating the quite, loud, and sweet candid moments too. Not to mention, he has been so responsive and had such a fast turnaround time! We would highly recommend working with Carlos!


And in case my review isn't enough to help you make your decision, here are some actual quotes from our wedding party when we shares the online album: "They took sooo many too like this is the most comprehensive wedding album I’ve ever seen” and “I can’t believe how good this is” and “This looks like it’s straight out of a movie scene 🥺”

"It’s been a year and my pictures still take my breath away. I was always nervous about my wedding pictures. Carlos made the experience one for the books. His friendly personality made us feel relaxed and he was able to capture every moment without us even noticing every take he took. When it came to our personal pictures he made it look like straight out of a fairytale. I can’t wait for future opportunities in which he can capture more important life moments. Definitely the best around Monterey bay."

"Carlos was an absolute gem! I'm so glad I came across his work because his style is so diverse! I work in social media/marketing so naturally I'm quite particular and picky about my photos, and Carlos was extremely understanding & accommodating to ALL of my wants & needs. We first hired him for our engagement party as a try out & after we saw our engagement party photos we fell in love and HAD to have him in our elopement in San Francisco.

My husband is so awkward behind the camera and Carlos was so great at giving him direction which was much appreciated. He made sure he took many photos everywhere and all angles.

My favorite part is that he even made us a wedding film! This man really goes above and beyond with everything he does.

100/10 recommend Carlos."

"Carlos was our wedding reception photographer. He was straight to the point about his photography/editing style and made sure to ask us what we wanted to capture on our special day beforehand. My partner and I are beyond happy with the results. He paid lots of attention to detail and the pictures came out beautiful. I must say I am usually not all good angles, but he worked his magic and I am in love with our pictures.

The images are timeless and very beautiful, definitely captured the many interactions and emotions of the day. Very quick turnaround as well. Very professional, communicative, reliable, accommodating and overall it was a great experience working with him. We 100% recommend Carlos for your next event. He will not disappoint."
