And everything I do is humbly focused on that.
For me, photography is more than a chance to create art or build a portfolio. It is a chance to use my talent and expertise to create something lasting and meaningful for you.
Capturing Elegant Weddings with Impeccable Style
LUXURY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN PANAMA AND WORLDWIDE
So, I purchased a camera and took online courses on photographing newborns. As my son got older, I began exploring what else I could create with my camera. Gradually, my interests developed. I started to photograph nature and landscapes and learned methods from some of the best photojournalists in the world. Eventually, I blended my favorite styles and techniques and created my own signature approach. In 2007, a friend asked me to photograph his wedding. From there, everything changed. The significance and love I was asked to preserve gave me an incredible purpose. And my passion for photography came alive in a brand new, beautiful way.
My love for photography grew from a desire to capture my own meaningful moments. I was a self-taught, proud papa who didn't want to miss a single important moment in my son's life.

Ruben seemed so intellectual and gave me an ease of mind that everything was going to be perfect. The passion and effort he invested in making sure he would capture absolutely every detail was so impressive!
- María
Despite the fact that I insisted that I did not know how to pose or that I did not feel so comfortable with the cameras, he managed to make me feel super comfortable on my wedding day and my husband too.
- Carol R.
My husband and I were nervous and had anxiety thinking about knowing how to "pose," not knowing what would look good and what wouldn't, etc., and he took every one of those worries away.

The important thing is to be able to trust the person who will do the work for you, and we did with him. Working with Ruben was very special.
