Testimonials

We had an incredible experience working with Harold as our wedding photographer. From start to finish he was professional, kind and made everything feel easy and natural. On the day of the wedding he struck the perfect balance of being organized and detail oriented while also helping us stay relaxed and present. He gave great direction for poses while also capturing candid moments and all the fun everyone was having.


The photos are absolutely beautiful and truly captured the spirit of the day. Looking through the gallery brought everything back in the best way. We are so grateful to have these memories documented so thoughtfully.


If you are looking for someone who delivers both an amazing experience and stunning photos, we highly recommend Harold.


Thank you again for everything.

Harold took family photos of our little family with a very active toddler. He captured our energy and family perfectly and the photos are some of the best we’ve ever taken! We took pictures at Arenal Observatory Lodge and absolutely loved it. Cannot recommend highly enough.

My philosophy

real moments, honestly told

I believe the best wedding photos happen when you forget the camera is there. My approach is documentary — I observe, I follow the light, and I wait for the real thing. No stiff poses, no forced smiles. Just you, exactly as you are, on one of the most important days of your life.
