I never say no to an opportunity, light, place, subject, all conspired to produce this one; an instalation on a fountain at the entrance of the National Tokyo Museum.

Yes, that’s my favourite food in the world
I had the time of my life on our trip to Japan last fall. Sushi is my favourite food in the world and I had the best time eating it every single day on our trip. Yes, I ate all those in one single dinner.
About cabo wedding photographer Dino Gomez
This is another favourite photo of us! That water was freezing cold! We challenged ourselves to get under the cascade on a visit to my brother in Portland, OR, he took this amazing photo seconds before we went in.
Kyoto’s traditional streets
I took this one of my wife on a random street in Kyoto, you can see in the background some traditional Geisha walking in their Kimonos. We felt in love with the japanese culture! These are some personal photos, not part of my work as a Destination Wedding Photographer but I think it's important to share with you part of who am I and why I do what I do.
My wife Claudia at the Grand Canyon

Been there, done that!
One of the many unusual things one can do in Japan is getting in one of those Purikura booths. They are not your traditional photo booth, they alter your face in realtime and adds that curious glow. It was so much fun.
Visiting Nikko, near Tokyo in autumn
Upon our arrival to Nikko, a small town near Tokyo, at the train station we found some of these beautiful trees which you can find everywhere with these gorgeous colours in autumn.

Enjoying my favourite drink on the streets of Curaçao
Selfie enjoying my favourite drink (Mojito) with my wife Claudia on the streets of Curaçao on our honeymoon. It certainly wasn't the best, that's why we're laughing!
We love taking selfies, why not!
Yes, I love taking selfies with my wife, we're old fashioned, so no selfie stick. We did this one on our recent trip to Japan which is now our favourite place in the world.

She is my Angel
I took this one with my trusty Ricoh GR II on a trip to one of our favourite places Portland, OR. One of our trips to the woods, we just love it.
A symbol of our union: her ring

My love, my closest friend, my lover, my partner-in-crime, my muse and the most challenging model I’ve had; she was camera-shy, and didn’t really liked being photographed, so, she became my sensei, and it was through the process of gaining her trust while I photographed her, that I learned: a great photograph isn’t enough, if the person being photographed isn’t blissfully happy with how they look in said image! In photography, that was the biggest lesson I got from her, a non-photographer, but the one I cared the most when I took photos.
Today it is paramount in my photography, to ensure I get not only beautiful images, but making sure through that process, that my clients look at their best on every image!
She is my cherry, the cake and everything in between for me!

Empathy
/ˈɛmpəθi/
Seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.
We dream, we plan, we rehearse, and things will simply happen, but the emotions and how you react to it has no plan, no rehearse and cannot be dreamt.
We ensured to had the right person to capture the big and small moments. Such as a classic Dino-Moment, one of my wife’s favourite photos of me, realizing I forgot to remove the tag off my tux jacket, minutes before our own wedding.
It is by self-experience one learns it’s not only the big planned moments that count, but also the small, unscripted and natural ones that will touch you.
I’ve been on the very journey you are only starting to devise and it is with that empathy from being in front of the lens rather than behind that I approach each project, listening to what you want, looking for what you cannot see, feeling what you’re living.
