SELECTED FRAGMENTS
Weddings remembered in fragments.
The gestures, weather, movement and small moments that make a celebration feel like itself.
01 / THE APPROACH
You should remember the people, not the posing.
I’m Christopher Alga, the photographer behind Crissorama. I photograph destination weddings across Costa Rica and Barcelona with an editorial & documentary photography approach that’s calm, observant, and gently directed when needed.
You don’t need to know how to pose or spend your wedding day performing for a camera. I’ll step in when direction helps, and disappear when the moment matters more than the photograph.
Documentary instinct. Editorial restraint.
A Wedding Archive,
not just coverage.
I don’t see a wedding as a set number of hours to photograph. I see it as a story to preserve.
The people, the voices, the music, the landscape, the unexpected moments, the things you touched, kept, heard and felt.
I bring digital photography, analog film, Super 8, audio, motion and physical keepsakes together to create something bigger than a wedding gallery: your wedding archive.
Some stories become photographs. Some become films. Some live in sound, grain, movement and objects.
The goal isn’t to make your wedding look perfect. It’s to make sure you can remember what it felt like.
02 / THE UNPLANNED
The part you couldn’t plan.
Kelsey and Colin planned every detail, but they didn’t plan for the sudden breeze that swept her veil just as he turned around. That unguarded wonder became their favorite image. I find the moments you didn’t plan, wherever your story takes you.
03 / THE EXPERIENCE
Transparent pricing.
No hidden travel fees.
Most couples spend $3,500–$5,000 for comprehensive wedding coverage. Travel anywhere in Costa Rica is included, with previews within 72 hours, full printing rights and a carefully backed-up archive.
How we plan together.
Vibe call. We align on what matters to you.
Timeline guidance. We protect the best light without letting photography run the day.
The celebration. You stay present. I document what unfolds.
IN THEIR WORDS
“Neither of us is very comfortable in front of a camera, but Christopher made sure we didn’t feel like we were posing.”
— Elle & Omesh
People move differently when the landscape becomes part of the day.
04 / A SENSE OF PLACE
Look closer.
Costa Rica isn’t just the backdrop. It changes the story.
The coast changes the light. Rain changes the rhythm. Heat pulls dinner outside. Wind moves a veil before anyone can arrange it. In the rainforest, people gather closer; by the ocean, everything opens up.
After years photographing weddings across the country, I plan around those differences rather than trying to make every place behave the same way.
What are you planning?
Start with the kind of story you’re here for.
Weddings
Full days and multi-day celebrations.
Elopements
Intentional days with room to explore.
Proposals
Quietly planned, genuinely surprising.
Families
Vacations, reunions and growing years.
05 / FILM & MEMORY
Film, texture, and the beauty of imperfection.
I use 35mm, medium format and Super 8 not only for nostalgia, but because each medium remembers differently.
A digital frame catches the instant. Film slows the eye. Super 8 lets movement, grain and sound carry what a still photograph cannot.
Not perfected. Remembered.
STILL → STILL → STILL → MOVEMENT / SUPER 8
06 / COMPLETE STORIES
Selected wedding stories.
A photograph can hold a moment. A full gallery shows what happened before it, what came after, and how the whole day moved.
AND THEN, SOMEHOW, THE DAY IS OVER.
What remains is how it felt.
