The storytellers
San Diego & Joshua Tree — two worlds, one soul.
Many of my couples plan an intimate elopement or micro-wedding in San Diego, and then head to Joshua Tree for an adventure session or sunset vows in the desert. I love these cinematic journeys that blend ocean and sand, cliffs and desert vibes.

For over 15 years, I’ve been shooting weddings across Europe and now bringing my cinematic storytelling to California — a mix of raw, emotional filmmaking with a documentary soul and creative edge.

Why hire me?
San Diego Wedding Videographer & Photographer
From the very beginning, I realized weddings are much more than just parties.
Once I truly started connecting with people and their stories, everything changed.
My style is raw, spontaneous, and deeply emotional — it breathes through who I am.
I show up as Bruno, just as I am, with no pretenses. For me, being part of the vibe matters — not just another wedding, but an opportunity to make new friends and tell new stories.
That journey has now brought me to the USA, after working in Texas — and soon in San Diego.
As an international wedding photographer & videographer, I bring a fresh eye and an adventurous mindset to every shoot — always embracing new locations, cultures, and moments.
With 15+ years of experience and over a hundred weddings captured, I offer a unique hybrid approach — shooting both photo & video with instinct, energy, and improvisation.
San Diego, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree — wherever your story takes us, I’m ready.
It’s not about the typical wedding path - it’s about having the guts & attitude to feel things differently.

Planning a Wedding or Elopement in San Diego? Here’s What to Know.
What types of wedding photography and videography services do you offer?
I capture elopements, intimate weddings, engagement shoots, and cinematic wedding films - in San Diego and worldwide.
Can we choose the location for our elopement or couple shoot?
Absolutely. I’ll help you pick a spot that matches your vibe -for sure we can work together to bring up your storytelling around San Diego.
How long does a typical photo or video session last?
There’s no strict limit. I shoot until the story feels complete. Some take 1 or 2 hours, others half a day. It’s about the energy and what you´re looking for.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
We understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. Our editing process typically takes around 60 business days, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. Can be sooner either.
We focus on quality and detail to provide images that honestly show your day in our style.
What happens if the weather sucks on the day of our shoot?
We have 2 choices: We embrace it. Rain, wind, clouds — it’s all part of the vibe. Some of my most cinematic work happened under crazy skies. Or we postpone. You decide.
Do you live in San Diego?
I’m based in Europe, but from fall 2025 onwards I’ll be regularly working from San Diego for the season - no travel fees for you.
Do you offer both wedding photo and video packages?
Yes. I’m a photographer and filmmaker - so you can book just one or both. It’s all about telling your story fully.
What’s your videography and photography style?
Organic, cinematic, and emotionally raw. It’s part documentary, part improvised based on human connections- nothing fake, nothing staged.
How do we book you for our San Diego wedding or elopement?
Just hit “Book Me” and tell me your plans. We’ll set up a quick video chat to vibe and go from there.
