What to expect

ENVISION

You can do this over the phone or through our questionnaire. It helps us get to know both of you, understand what matters to you & how you envision your dream portraits.

COMPOSE

Based on your creative vision we will curate a list of locations that will set the scene to capture your love for each other. You will receive guides on how to express your love visually and how to look & feel natural doing it.

DEVELOPMENT

Once our creative inspiration is complete we will go to our curated location to craft your images. You can expect your session to be an hour in duration, filled with smiles, laughs & emotion. Once completed you will receive your images beautifully edited with our distinct style and your inspiration. Images are stored in your personal protected gallery for you to share with loved ones.

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m Jesus — a wedding photographer based in Southern California, telling love stories through honest, cinematic imagery. I believe your photos should feel like stills from the most meaningful film of your life — unscripted, emotive, and timeless.

With over five years of experience capturing weddings across Orange County and beyond, I specialize in documenting real moments: the quiet in-betweens, the laughter, the tears, and the way your people show up for you. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with classic portraiture and an editorial touch — so your gallery reflects not just how your day looked, but how it felt.

Whether you're planning a coastal engagement session or an intimate Temecula vineyard wedding, I’m here to preserve it all as it naturally unfolds — no forced poses, no trendy filters. Just you, your people, and a love story that lasts long after the last dance.

what my clients have to say about me

  • He was always professional and communicated effectively with my bridal party, family and vendors if needed. He was always one step ahead and made sure to stay on track with our wedding time-line. Looking back, Jesus has given us such a great photography experience and it's one I hope every bride and groom can have! My husband and I both felt comfortable and taken care of since the day of our engagement session. The quality of his work and value was excellent - extremely professional, paid close attention to detail, and provided beautiful edited photos.

  • Jesus and Alejandra did an excellent job in helping us make our vision come to life. They helped my partner and I feel comfortable throughout our shoots and made everything run smoothly. They perfectly executed the vision we had for our photos. They were both very kind and helpful throughout our special day. Less

  • Jesus was our wedding photographer for our special day. From our first interaction, Jesus showed confidence in his experience as a wedding photographer. He took the time to understand what I imagined my wedding photos would look like that is how he carefully planned, & captured my wedding photos. Jesus arrived 1 week early before the wedding day to scout out locations, shared photos with us, and seamlessly incorporated them into our timeline. We felt like we not only had a talented photographer, but also a day-of coordinator who helped ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He made sure we not only captured the photos we would love but also took the time and went above and beyond to take care of us as people, offering to get water and making sure we had drinks or food.

  • Hidden Gem of a Photographer Jesus was so communicative and helpful. He was so kind and patient. He had a calming and friendly presence it definitely helped when posing for photos. He made my stiff husband look natural in his photos and made sure not even 1 hair was misplaced which just made my photos perfect! Im so happy we met. I am happy with my wedding photos and look at them every so often and have the same reaction to them, just endless love and appreciation for unique moments that were photographed.
