About
Hi there!
We are Alvaro and Madison, a husband/wife team working both together and separately to provide wedding videography and photography.
Not only are we crazy in love with each other and our sweet, little family, but we are also crazy in love with weddings. Being in love with weddings is a big part of our work, because we get almost as excited about your wedding day as you do. And when people are excited about what they do it shows through in their attitude, effort and final product.
We originally started our photography business in the beautiful country of Costa Rica. There we shoot destination weddings on the beach, in the jungle, and alongside crashing waterfalls. We have lived in Costa Rica for 4 years and are completely in love with it. But, being that Madison is from NY, and her family is still in NY, she wanted a way to be able to live closer to them and see them more. That is how Bella Luz Imagery was created.
We now live 6 months in the USA, during the prime wedding season of May to October, and 6 months in tropical Costa Rica where we operate as Baltodano Films for video, and Photography MB for photo. It really is the best of both worlds and works perfectly for our culturally blended family. Not to mention that it stirs the creative senses when you get to switch up the scenery every 6 months.
We are so excited to have created this life we love, and we are excited to have a small but significant part in your amazing life as well. We love hearing about love stories, so drop us a line here and tell us yours!
