Enjoy every moment.
As your photographer or filmmaker, I want you to enjoy the day while I document what is actually happening — the real reactions, the people you love, the little things you may not notice until later. Whether it’s a wedding, a quinceañera or a corporate event, I want the experience to feel natural and true to you.
I love working with natural light and use it whenever it helps preserve the feeling of the moment. When flash is needed, I use it intentionally and only when it serves the story.

Hi, I’m Fanuel.
I’m a husband, father of three little ones, and a follower of Jesus. I was born in Guatemala, my wife is from Minnesota, and my adoptive parents are from Italy. Because of that, Minnesota and Sicily both have a special place in my heart.
I’ve had the opportunity to live in the United States and in Italy, travel through many countries, learn languages and experience different cultures. Along the way I’ve documented many weddings, and I keep noticing the same thing: traditions change, but the important emotions don’t.
When I’m not behind a camera, I’m usually with my family. We play board games, read the Bible and plenty of other books. My wife and I love movies, popcorn, tacos and long walks. I like making pizza and I’m very serious about coffee — especially lattes. She’s the chocolate person, especially if it comes from the mountains of Huehuetenango.
All of that shapes the way I see weddings: people, faith, family, traditions, laughter and the small moments that eventually become the memories you hold onto the longest.
