About


MY BEGINNINGS

I was born and live in Mexico City until 2014, my wife and my family of Canadian nationality were the reason for me to come to Canada where I now live happily.

My Career started in Mexico as director and coordinator of Fashion Shootings, something that is not so common to do where I am currently living. Not finding options for fashion shootings, I decided to study everything related to weddings, from the best photography and lighting techniques to knowing how to address brides and grooms in the correct way. That's how in 2015 I had my first wedding and now I have captured approximately 160 events and about 40 engagement sessions.

WHAT INSPIRES ME

When I decided to do wedding photography the first thing that inspired me was remembering the sentimental value, and the fun factor that my photographer achieved in my own wedding. I love taking photos that reflected real moments with photojournalistic touch.

Having lived in Mexico and having traveled through different countries has opened my imagination and creativity to achieve images with colors, textures and visual richness that transcend generations and that are not just a passing trend. I am sure you have seen so much photos with filters but that is not my style, my style is to compose images that can show the real colours

WHAT MOVES ME

I must confess that there are moments during weddings that touch my emotions deeply. As a human being, I am very moved by the things I see at weddings and therefore it is my goal not to miss moments that sometimes pass in mini seconds. I don't like to let go of my camera or stop taking photos because I know that something can happen at any moment. and I want to be ready to press the button and freeze what moves anyone's emotions.

My favorite photo from my wedding is a photo that was taken at the exit of the ceremony where I saw my grandfather there on the side and I was very moved to see him because I had never met him in the past until that day, he was there stating up waiting to say hi to me. Of course, I couldn't resist the tears and that moment was thanks to my photographer beautifully captured

MY VISION FOR YOUR EVENT

The number 1 thing I like to learn is the vision of my couples when they first reach out. Although I do wedding photography almost every weekend during May through October and some days in the winter, each wedding is different in its people, its colors, and its ambiance. Me and the team like to work in making images that reflect your vision and what you specially planned for your wedding day.

Everything about working with Alberto was beyond amazing!

I couldn’t be more grateful for all the effort that Alberto put into making my wedding day and engagement pictures so memorable, even though I made him do a little hike for the engagement pictures. I loved the result so much! Alberto worked with me since the beginning and he was able to make my husband comfortable with taking pictures (which he is not!). The video was one of my favourite items. I highly recommend him and will reach out to him for future mini-session.

Absolutely amazing experience

Alberto Ponce is an amazing person to work with, he's helped me with the many questions I've had and has always remained professional and kind. On the day of, I had been incredibly stressed and wasn't feeling great, but as soon as Alberto arrived I felt myself relax as he took lead and lifted the weight off my shoulders, but in a very kind and considerate way. He is quick to give suggestions if you find yourself at a loss for what to do for posing, and is easy to communicate your ideas to. I highly recommend booking with Alberto! His portfolio is beautiful, and he has the personality to match!

Excellent Photographer

Alberto was excellent to work with. He is extremely responsive, punctual and very professional. My partner and I had a vague idea of what we wanted, and Alberto helped us turn those ideas into concrete results. During our entire experience with Alberto, I was extremely pleased with how fast and helpful he was with our questions and concerns. All our meetings with him went super smooth and easy. Alberto was able to provide a lot of helpful suggestions as to locations, timing and ideas for both the engagement shoot and our wedding day. He was also very flexible when we needed an extra hour added to our contract. We are super happy with how all the pictures turned out and received lots of compliment on the photos.

Great experience

Alberto was great right from the beginning. I emailed a list of questionnaires to multiple photographers and he responded back at 2am. If you have ideas or certain things you want, he will try his very best to make sure it happens and even add a little Alberto twist to it. He makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. Great to work with. Very professional!!!

Easy, Efficient, and worth every penny

Alberto made our special day easy and efficient. We did not have to worry about any detail of the day. The meetings and the planning before took a lot of the stress away. Alberto was always available and answered his emails/messages very quickly and made sure everything was explained. The prices were excellent and for the quality of photos you could not get anything better. The photos of our wedding were breathtaking. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and end result for our big day. We would recommend Alberto Ponce Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
