Get to know me. Javier Bernal.
Weddings | Engagements | Quinceañeras
As a little kid, I remember seeing these yellow Kodak envelopes filled with developed photos in them. As I got older, I remember how special it felt to take out these photos and seeing moments that I did't even remember anymore.
That's when my initial interest for photography started. I felt something very special to be able to " go back in time" and re-live those emotions again.
I like to pretty much photograph anything and everything, from newborns to street photography, to my kids' sports. But I really enjoy shooting weddings and quinceañeras the most. There's something special about being able to capture a once in a lifetime moment.
life is just a lot of moments that fade away with time. photos can save those moments, and like a time capsule, we can go back in time to re-live that experience.
Just like everyone, we live and we learn. I have had a lot of ups and downs (more downs than ups) and made plenty of bad decisions (maybe too many) that became learning experiences. But one thing that I have always worked on is personal development. No matter how bad things feel, I know that I can alway wok on myself.
Personal development has helped me see blinds spots about myself that I didn't know I had and helped me become a better person and make better decisions.
After going through many careers in different fields, one day I decided to invest my time into doing something that connected me to my creative side.
I didn't know exactly what that was, but as soon as I tried photography, I instantly knew this was it.
I felt a connection to my childhood self and when my dad would take photos of us as kids.
I feel very blessed to be able to take beautiful pictures and priceless memories of people like you.
