Extraordinary Weddings, Unforgettable People.

KIND WORDS

  • People dancing energetically at a party, with visible motion and a festive atmosphere.

    Honestly, we cannot recommend this amazing artists and lovely human being enough!

    Alex and Maggie Chang

  • Two young children dressed formally, a boy in a suit and a girl in a sequined dress, sitting together against a dark background.

    The magic Lalo creates during the day is almost as incredible as the photographs. Fun, funny, warm, and wonderful Lalo is an amazing human.

NOT JUST WEDDING PHOTOS- VISUAL STORIES

Captured on film with a documentary heart and an editorial eye.

Bride in white gown looks at groom in suit with pink boutonniere, standing on grass with rocky hill backdrop.

  • A mix of artistic documentary and nostalgic storytelling— Think classic black-and-white film mixed with candid, heartfelt images that feel like memories the moment you see them.

  • Bare feet on the dance floor, crushed petals in the aisle, your dog trotting through the ceremony, your best friend tearing up mid-speech—these fleeting moments are the real magic. I stay attuned to them, capturing their beauty in all their raw, unfiltered authenticity.

  • Your wedding, but make it a film. Every image should feel like a frame from the most beautiful movie of your life—filled with energy, romance, and the kind of artistry that turns fleeting seconds into something unforgettable.

  • From the emotional hugs at your welcome party to your parents tearing up mid-speech and the wild dance floor moments—your gallery will be filled with the people, reactions, and emotions that made your day so special.

  • I’ve been shooting film and direct flash long before they became trendy again, and I love how they blur the line between modern edge and vintage nostalgia. About 80% of my work is on 35mm film, giving your gallery a warm, textured, and timeless quality. The remaining digital shots capture every crisp, fleeting moment.

  • No stiff, overly staged shots of your shoes and dress hanging in a window. Instead, I capture the little things in a way that brings you back—the way your hands shook while fastening a button, the softness of your veil catching the light, the champagne fizzing over in celebration.
