Hi, I'm Harold


Documentary wedding photographer based in La Fortuna, Arenal — Costa Rica


I've been telling love stories through my camera for over 15 years. Photography became my way of expressing what I see and feel — and weddings are the perfect place for that. Every celebration is unrepeatable, full of raw emotions and intimate moments. I'm especially drawn to the getting ready — that quiet time between friends and family before everything begins. When I'm not shooting in Costa Rica, I travel to photograph couples in Mexico and the United States. At home I share my life with my wife Lauren, our son Noah, and our dogs Lucky and Matte.

"I don't just take photos. I preserve the moments you'll want to relive for the rest of your life."
