Above all, I specialize in telling stories, through pictures. It’s about weaving the images together to tell the tale of your day. Notably the understanding of light, composition and moment. Anybody can press the shutter button on a camera. But only the person behind the lens can see the world from another perspective. This gave me a wider frame, and within that frame, I can build the story and fill in some context for the viewer. You can always count with my direction or guidance. The most important thing for me is that you feel comfortable and you can give me your trust. I just want to connect with you on a real level, and I hope that you in turn connect with my work on a way we can create images that come from real moments and memories.

I want my clients to look at their images and remember that special moment in time. It’s all about capturing the moment and following the passion of the day. I go after moments that appeal to me from the inside and I strive to capture the emotions and energy of the day through the still image. The details still count. It’s about the people, but most of all, is about the moment. I am most inspired by you. The people you love (and who love you in return), the colors you’re drawn to, the places that make you feel most at home. When I photograph your event, my goal is to create images that highlight those unique qualities and enhance your memories of them. I promise to always be creating, trying, and having a blast while doing it. I do my best to capture your day as it unfolds naturally, but also enhance your experience however possible. I am an artist and professional, but if I’ve done my job right it goes far beyond taking photos.

DAD, HUSBAND, AND A HUGE FISHING FAN!

DAD, HUSBAND, AND A HUGE FISHING FAN!

I grew up in Venezuela but now I am based in the gorgeous island of Curaçao. I live in the city of Willemstad with my lovely wife Carla who is always giving me her “women-perspective” in my work. We also have a lovely little boy and a baby girl, Matias & Genesis, who makes us laugh every day with their occurrences. Additionally, we have two cute, funny and a bit naughty dogs – Luke and Leia, brother and sister, and a selective cat – Chewie.

My passion for photography started since I was very young, but in 2007 I decided to switch from amateur to professional, so I was able to see the world from another perspective, since then I have enjoyed taking thousands of photos for many clients.

17 years ago I started this path of photography and I can say that today my specialty is capturing weddings. I humbly feel grateful to the clients who have put their trust in my work because it has made me achieve global recognition.

Now, I´m featured in WeddingWire and I´m a member of the community Fearless Photographers, ISPWP and PROWEDAward. All are the largest and most trusted global marketplaces connecting engaged couples with wedding professionals.

I’m glad and honored to receive the COUPLE CHOICE AWARD for the 8th year in a row, thanks to the reviews for my clients. It motivates me to keep doing my photography work like always and better.

Nestor was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He made us feel comfortable, guided us naturally throughout the day, and paid attention to every little detail so we could simply relax and enjoy ourselves.

The experience felt easy, personal and fun, and the final images beautifully captured not only how our wedding looked, but how it felt. Looking through the gallery truly takes us back to those moments.

We are so grateful for his patience, professionalism and warmth, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who creates both beautiful photographs and a beautiful experience.

Thank you for being part of our wedding day!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Nestor! From the very beginning, he was incredible to work with. His attention to detail was unmatched, and he had so many creative ideas that resulted in the best photos.

He made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not just us, but our entire wedding party and guests.

When we received our pictures, we were blown away. Every photo perfectly captured the little moments, and joy of our wedding day. We truly couldn't have asked for a better photographer.

If you're looking for someone who is talented, creative, professional, and genuinely great to be around, we can't recommend Nestor enough. Thank you for giving us memories we'll cherish forever!

We had Nestor photograph our personal 20 year vow renewal. We did the trash the dress package. He was so friendly and kind. He led us through regular photos, drone photos, and underwater photos and we will be forever thankful. He gave us something that I hope my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will cherish on day.
