¡Hola Rachel

& Shawn!

 

 

My name is Ale and CÚMULO is the project through which I capture one the most precious thing in people’s lives: their time together with their loved ones.


I try to capture, not only your likenesses but rather, I aim to capture the way you interact while together: how your partner’s face lights up when they look at you, how you laugh together, how you love each other.

After 7 years doing this and after having captures 100+ weddings and countless sessions, I can attest: there are never two stories alike…and that is was drives me to give it my all to every new couple 💪

Your photos, over time, become all the more valuable and acquire new layers of meaning. Nobody said it better than the great Gabo:

“What matters in life is not what happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.”


-Gabriel García Márquez

My work consists on keeping my eyes wide open and noticing the little things that reveal your personalities: The subtle moments, small gestures…my job is to gather all those elements that INform the cumulus that is YOUR PERSONAL story.

FAQ

Where are you based?

I am based in Mexico City, yet I travel around a lot for weddings ;)

My wedding/session is outside Mexico City. Do you charge travel expenses?

For 1-day-weddings & events within the surrounding areas of Mexico City (Valle de Bravo, Tepoztlán, Cuernavaca) travel cost is already included ✨

If you're having your wedding or photo session outside of the México and are thinking of including me on your team, first of all, I'd be SO honored that you are considering me! If that were the case, please share with me your needs and I will let you know the extra cost.

What do you need from us?

First and foremost: your trust.

I need you to know that I dislike applying "formulas" and that I treat each wedding is an active effort to find a unique way to do things.

I believe that documenting a wedding requires a highly personal component, that is why I place a lot of importance in getting to know you and what's important to you; that will impact, in great measure, the ways in which I'll tell your story.

And lastly, do know that your wedding photos are 100% the result of a collaboration between us; I, if alone, can only add my skill and my effort, but it is thanks to you, to your presence, your trust and your willingness to be seen that the photos will have substance; heart.

How would you define your style? How do you work?

First and foremost, I like pictures to feel alive ✨ It's not about making "wedding portraits"; it's about capturing YOU, being able to portray the real you. You as individuals, as a couple, as people in love: Ecstatic, nervous, excited and all the feelings that may come.

I believe people are more beautiful when they aren't trying to be so. Thus, I like to capture you without a lot of posing (sometimes just a bit). My intention is to capture your spontaneous selves and create photos that convey emotion. I aim to make you feel in good hands, as I will make sure to find the rights angles and guide you so that you look your best while you're busy feeling the moment.

My dynamic at the wedding changes depending on the situation. My approach is that I adapt depending on what the different stages of the wedding require of me. If I believe some minor fixes can contribute to having a better experience and photos I will communicate it to you, otherwise I won't interfere in how the day develops. On the other hand, at the reception I like to interact with the guests a bit more so that they open themselves to me and my camera.

Do you shoot video?

For couples looking for a look & feel similar to mine, I usually team up with some great wedding videography colleagues whose work I admire and feel that you guys would feel connected to as well. For more info on this please contact me :)

What is your typical turnaround time?

The week following your wedding, I will send you a sneak peek 👁️ with some of the most memorable moments of the day.

For the full gallery, as you may suspect, both the culling and editing processes require thorough attention to detail. The hundreds of moments captured in the photos you'll receive have been carefully selected and hand-edited 📸 It takes me approximately 10-12 weeks to be able to properly perform these processes and share the results with you! 🤍✨

What payment methods do you take?

I ask for a 25% deposit and a signed contract to secure the date. The remaining 75% is to be covered up to 2 weeks prior to the wedding.

We want to book! What's next?

Ana & Parry

First of all, I can’t tell you how much we love the photos you took. You have captured our precious moments so beautifully. All those cute little smiles and looks. Both Parry and I are raving about how talented you are- photos that are representing real moments and they are also technically so amazing. The way you play with light and movement is just wow. It was worth every moment we tortured Parry to stay still and keep smiling despite how tired and hungry he was. Hehehehehe We feel so lucky we had you in NYC. We have memories at all those places. I am now running at Columbia in the evenings and the photos come to my mind.


It was so great to meet back in CDMX and then hang out together again in NYC. Besides our photographer, you are now our marriage witness. We are bonded forever. You and Cacha are two amazing human beings and we can’t wait for the next opportunity to spend time all together. We will definitely let you know when in Mexico City. Can’t wait for all the tacos and churros. You should also know that you have two friends and a home to crash in NYC or wherever we might go next. 

Some kind words from my previous couples:

KARINA

E: We can’t express how happy we are with the outcome. You had me crying again 😂. Thank you again for sharing our special day with us. I’m happy I was able to find you randomly on the internet. You have a special gift for capturing the right special moment.


K: Alejandra, I can’t thank you enough for the time and care you placed into these photos. Everything was beautiful from the transition, song selection, and all the emotions of love and happiness that you captured that day. I am in love with this slideshow! You and your assistant are exceptional at your craft. Mil gracias for traveling out to Houston and being there for us. 🫶 I truly can’t thank you enough for the amazing work you’ve done. 🥹

"El trabajo de Ale fue verdaderamente impecable. No se sentó ni un momento. Estuvo de un lado para otro, siempre pendiente de nosotros y de todos nuestros invitados. Además, más allá de las típicas fotos de boda (las cuales también me encantaron) agradecí que capturara los detalles más lindos: los abrazos más sentidos, los discursos conmovedores, los bailes chistosos, las carcajadas y hasta los detalles"

JIME & ROSCO

Ale es una persona 100 % dedicada, comprometida, sensible y profesional que conozco. Las fotografías tomadas el día de nuestra boda reflejan perfectamente la magia que Alejandra logra captar en cada una de sus tomas. Ella es parte del proceso desde un inicio, se vuelve parte fundamental de la aventura y logra llenar de amor un proceso tan importante como es una boda. La nuestra fue todo, menos común, y las fotos de Ale reflejan perfecto lo que vivimos ese día de manera única, sensible e inolvidable.
