My Story
My full name is Anna Elena but I prefer just Anna.
I've been fascinated by Photography for as long as I can remember. My home has always been full with books, art, travels, music... and that was a major part of my inspiration growing up. My dad used to make me watch his rock and roll concerts on VHS over and over again for years and that marked me forever.
At the beginning it was very unentertaining, (considering I was just a kid) but little by little I loved to see Keith Richards playing, Bowie doing a freak show, Iggy Pop turning upside down or Pete Townshend destroying guitars on stage. I started enjoying helping him arrange his huge and magnificent record collection because I would look at all these super cool, rare album covers and become obsessed into the 60’s and 70’s culture, and the photographs of all these rock and rollers. At the same time that I became a teenager fascinated by the weird and rebellious, collecting travel, fashion and art magazines, I was finding my own way of expression.
While my mom documented most of our day-to-day childhood on 35mm film, my dad liked to photograph our travels and shortly, he had a lot of professional cameras at home that I could use and I started photographing everything.
I lived in Texas for some time when I was 16 and I returned to Mexico where I went to college and studied Communication. I had a semester abroad in Barcelona and came back after that for a diploma in Marketing. I've lived in Mexico City —where I had an Internship in advertising in one of the most important TV networks in the country, in San Francisco and the Riviera Maya —where I was editor of the coolest food magazine. I also have two more diplomas in Filmmaking and Literature.
Gradually, I realized that I wanted to focus my career towards professional photography, and even began shooting small weddings before I entered college. In 2019 I officially started my business as a full-time destination wedding photographer, now based in San Miguel de Allende.
I love my job madly and passionately, every day I feel that it is the most beautiful profession in the world and I strive to be better for my clients and to feed my artistic soul.
I want to give them a high-end experience and create true connections.
The One I Love — Nahuel (my handsome Argentinian alfajor) and I found each other about eleven years ago and we’ve been together ever since.
We inspire one another and fill our lives with little, beautiful things; from our collection of books, to movie nights, or a simple hot cup of coffee at any time. We’re both artists and wedding photographers but even though we love to work together sometimes, we keep our brands separate. We had our beautiful dog named Chuleta since we've been together and while she was with us, we loved her more than anything in this whole world, we miss her every day.
We got married in 2019, in a beautiful Mexican-rock & roll wedding and we were fortunate to have had Hafenliebe Wedding Photography (our now dear friend Björn) documenting those memories for us. Our blend of Mexican-Argentine cultures is fun and a treasure. We travel to Buenos Aires every chance we can.
Being married to Nahuel is the best thing. He’s my Wonderwall.
I’m a Hopeless Romantic,
I’m an Artist...
The most romantic side of me is mysterious, obsessed with love often expressed in darkness. I am inspired by Gothic art, the renaissance, Punk Culture and mostly seventies rock. I love black and white images and fashion. The blue hour and dry grass fields and the melancholy of the sea...
I'm here to find beauty in chaos, in the real, imperfect and honest moments to portray and create art that makes you sigh with emotion and make you feel beautiful.
