Meet Francisco Alvarez
Professional Puerto Rico
Wedding Photographer
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by, it means the world to me.
My journey with cameras started in 2016 when I began making recruitment videos for aspiring college athletes; as a former athlete myself, I knew just how difficult it was to earn a scholarship so it was my way of giving back.
Had someone told me years ago that I’d developed a passion for shooting weddings in Puerto Rico, I would’ve told them they were out of their minds, yet here we are. My first wedding pressed buttons in me I didn’t even know I had and woke a sleeping giant. As a result, my focus has shifted from my street photography, where my love for stills began, to capturing the most important day of your love life. I want nothing more than your time spent alongside your partner to become one be the most memorable days together.
My approach to my wedding photography in Puerto Rico is a combination of journalism that will serve as a measuring stick of the emotions you feel that day as well as just sheer fun because your wedding day should be all about the good times you spend with your closest friends and family. My one desire is that you look back at your pictures and albums and cherish the amazing sentiments that fueled your affection while looking at it as motivation to build a wonderful life together.
Fun facts about me:
My first paid photography gig wasn’t until 2018
Before photography, I was a restaurant manager, tennis instructor, writer for Elite Daily magazine and a Federal government employee
I was once paralyzed from the neck down and eating a plant-based diet saved my life, thrusting me into activism
Some of my work has been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine and Business Insider
I am a proud AfterShoot Ambassador
I will be just as nervous during your wedding as I was during my first…and that’s a good thing
