Artist Feature – Alfonso Flores

Meet Alfonso and Amelia of Alfonso Flores Photo—destination wedding photographers who excel at capturing real, unscripted moments. Their journey together as a couple started 14 years ago, and they’ve worked together as photographers for the last 8 years. They ultimately gravitated towards wedding photography due to their belief that every couple, every story, and every fleeting moment is unique and worth sharing. They especially love working with people who embrace life, creativity, and spontaneity.

Alfonso and Amelia are based in Mexico, but working as destination wedding photographers allows them to travel often, opening up opportunities to explore new places, meet incredible people, and, of course, eat amazing food. When they’re not behind the camera, you’ll find them watching movies, listening to music, feeling the ocean breeze, or spending time with their little ones, Agustus and Morty.

Please share a bit about your background and how you got started in photography? How long have you been a photographer?

I’ve been a photographer for eight years, but photography has been in my blood for generations—I’m the third generation in my family. My grandfather was a photographer, my father is one too, and growing up surrounded by cameras naturally led me down this path.

What is the best part about being a photographer? What is the most challenging part of being a photographer?

The best part is photography, particularly destination wedding photography, provides the opportunity to discover different people, places, and cultures from all over the world. Photography lets me connect with stories and moments in a way that feels profound. The most challenging part? Finding your own voice. Technical skills can be learned, but truly understanding what you want to say and how to express it through your work is an ongoing journey.

What are the keys to success in this industry?

Authenticity—doing things with passion and giving them time to grow. Staying true to yourself is what sets you apart.

How do you tailor your approach to reflect each client/event’s uniqueness?

Rather than tailoring our approach, we work as a team with our clients. It’s about connection—focusing on relationships, light, and shadows. We also embrace Japanese aesthetic philosophies like mono no aware, ma, and utsuroi, which influence how we see and capture moments.

Do you have a signature editing style that clients can expect from your work?

Yes—natural. I want the images to feel as real as the moment itself.

How do you handle the pressure of capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments?

By staying present and doing the best I can. That’s all anyone can do.

How has Impossible Things (IT) AI Photo Editing benefited your business?

It saves me more than 50% of my editing time, allowing me to focus on what matters most.

What do you do with the time Impossible Things saves you?

Impossible Things gives me more time to explore photography books, go out and shoot, and focus on other creative and business aspects.

Do you shoot differently or deliver more images because of Impossible Things?

Over the years, I’ve realized that less is more. I actually deliver fewer but more meaningful images.

What is your current workflow with Impossible Things, and how has it improved?

I used to review every gallery two or three times. Now my workflow is much more efficient.

Do you have recommendations for users who are just starting with Impossible Things?

Know what you want, trust the process, and let the magic happen.

What is your favorite Impossible Things feature and why?

I appreciate that everything is seamlessly integrated within Lightroom—makes life so much easier.
