Photographer in Puerto Vallarta — Julien Leveau
There are moments in life we wish we'd never forget.
This ability to make it possible is what I love most about being a photographer. You can look at your pictures ten years from now and still be able to remember those instants you spent in Puerto Vallarta.
Meet Julien
My name is Julien and I am a french artist who have been working as a professional photographer since 2002 in Puerto Vallarta. I started my career as an architect in Paris but my passion for art was too strong and at the age of 20, I decided I would become a professional photographer.
Today, I own two photography brands: Julien Leveau for wedding and family documentations and, Arcencielstudio, for commercial and architecture photography as well as video production.
I spend most of my time between my family and my camera.
Photography style
Photojournalism
When I am capturing a wedding or doing a family session, I like to take pictures that can tell your story. That's why I spend around 90% of the documentation time doing photojournalism, capturing moments without interfering with the natural course of the event.
Fine art or artistic photography
Let's face it, when hiring a professional photographer, we expect creativity and most of all, we want to look sharp and make a magazine quality picture. So that's how we spend the other 10%. I will find a spot that is spectacular and I will use lighting effects to make a fine art shot that will make you shine.
Favorite Puerto Vallarta's spot to shoot
When I first stepped in Puerto Vallarta, I knew this was the end of my journey and that I would spend the rest of my life here. To me the whole Banderas Bay is spectacular and worthy of shooting. Throughout the years, I have some spots I particularly appreciate. If you seek romantic pictures, I recommend the Malecon, the Cuale Island or one of the many beaches of the South Shore like Conchas Chinas. If you are more adventurous, we can take a boat to the Marietas Islands or organize a trip to Mayto.
Photography Institutes that recognize my work
Since 2013 I have been a member of the prestigious ISPWP (International Society of Wedding Photographers) and BOWP (Best of Wedding Photography). I am also a member of Fearless Photographer and the Wedding Photographer Society.
