Inside Alvaro's camera bag
  • PhotographyAlvaro shoots with the latest Nikon cameras: two Nikon Z8 bodies for weddings and portraits. For those sessions his go-to lenses are the 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8. For wildlife, he adds his Nikon 105mm Macro and 800mm f/5.6.On his motorcycle, he trusts his Sony a6700 with a single 18-135mm lens, small and powerful for his adventure photography and videography.

  • DroneHis drone of choice is the DJI Mavic 3 Pro: extremely steady, with superb image quality and plenty of flight time thanks to three extra batteries.His FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate lets him fly in places others can't and obtain permits for restricted airspace, always following FAA regulations.

Alvaro was amazing! He took an ordinary hiking trail and turned it into an amazing photography location for me and my family. He was very professional, got a lot of great pictures, was great with my daughter. I would definitely recommend him!

Al was amazing! We did our family photos at his shop and he was so gracious and patient. Our family photos included our dog who was very excited and unfortunately had an accident in the studio. Without getting upset or impatient Al just cleaned up our dogs mess and was so very kind and patient. … It was so much fun taking photos and I was amazed regarding his knowledge of animals and his willingness to work with them.

Excellent experience during my maternity photoshoot! My husband and I loved working with Alvaro. I felt a little nervous when I got there since I don't ever get professional pictures taken, but he made me feel very relaxed and even made us laugh. My husband and I had such a fun time and we will be coming back to take pictures with our baby when he gets here!❤️ It was an amazing experience. A big plus that he is bilingual. I highly recommend him!

Al is simply wonderful! He is delightful to work with and so accommodating. … He is very artistic and has a special touch to capture a beautiful moment. I’m so grateful he captured the emotion on my husband’s face during the “Daddy/daughter” dance. I’m delighted with what Al captured and the best part is I didn’t have to worry about a thing! I could just enjoy our special day and focus on our daughter and family.
