JOEL ALVAREZ
I am a Mexican photographer-videographer. I started capturing weddings in 2014 in Cancun, México. That is when my professional career began. Recently I have been living in Punta Cana Dominican Republic and to be honest I love it!
I can define my visual work as REAL, inspired by love stories of couples who decide to join their separate paths into one and share it with me. Being fully present, I seek beauty in the authenticity and I capture a story that will be repeated
over generations. I think the stories should reveal the authentic vibe, that is why my work is natural and candid.
The main part of enjoying life is sharing. Memories bring us together even when we are apart.
LOVE STORIES
I am a visual storyteller. I approach every shot as a collaboration, I seek beauty believing that nothing is more beautiful than our relationships. Being fully present I am able to create moments, interactions and experiences that honor our bonds with our beloved ones.
In my early years as a student, I fell in love with documentary cinematography. I wanted my shooting experience to be fun and easy - that is how I capture images that are true to you.
I use aerial shots of the beautiful places we are surrounded by, adding lovely melodies and capturing truthful moments. My greatest desire is that years from now you’ll look back on your images and remember these days as if they were yesterday.
Either you are looking for wedding films or wedding photography please contact me to get a quote. My team and I, we are looking forward to telling your love story.
SAVE THE DATE & ENGAGMENT
That moment before you get married is a really magical time in your relationship. It’s exciting to look simultaneously at your past and your future together.
If you’re visiting the Punta Cana area for site visits and excursions, definitely take advantage of the trip photography. You will have plenty of pictures for your save the date and wedding website.
I normally suggest our couples have their session at sunrise or sunset. This is to create a very intimate atmosphere; romantic tone colors blended with sun flares are the perfect addition to the beautiful places around Punta Cana.
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
I choose to shoot fewer weddings in order to give each wedding my full attention.
I still find something unique every time. Capturing splendid moments, discovering amazing portrait locations and beautiful light, documenting your venue, noticing details, kids, family love and even the occasional photobomb – yes – I love to celebrate those perfectly imperfect moments too!
Life is fun, and while it is my passion to capture perfect pictures to hang on your walls; I will also absolutely deliver you those blooper moments that’ll make you laugh and say go oh-my-goodness-do-you-remember…
Wedding Photography is a true blessing.
WEDDING FILMS
I am inspired by love, let's celebrate it!
I have a special devotion to wedding films. It is my best way to get to know you better and tell your story to the world. It would be a pleasure for my team and I to be part of your special day; capturing those little moments that make your wedding unique and authentic. Portraying that intimate moment when everybody is getting ready, the celebration of love in the ceremony, even those silly and happy moments during the wedding reception. We are spirited on details and we cherish all of them.
My love stories are full of romanticism, I tell them in a very simple way. Unique, real and pure like the love both of you share. When you watch your video in the future years to come it will take you back to reminisce; allowing you to realize the best decision you ever made was to marry each other.
Please have a look into my wedding films, you will notice my particular way to tell love stories. I tell them like they were my very own.
