Hi, I’m Jesus!
I’m a California-based + Destination wedding photographer who specializes in a candid, documentary style. I focus on capturing your day as it naturally unfolds, so you can fully be in the moment while I take care of documenting your wedding.

I don’t want your wedding to feel like a photoshoot. My job is to take the pressure off, so you can relax, settle your nerves, and fully live your day. When you’re present and enjoying yourselves, natural moments and beautiful, effortless poses happen on their own. I capture these moments as they unfold, creating images that feel true to you and bring back the real emotions of your day. This is your love story, your main character moment, and I’m here to capture it.

I’m Myron Emery, the filmmaker behind Back To Back Cinema. My background in acting taught me how to pay attention to people how emotion shows up naturally and how moments unfold without being forced. That experience eventually pulled me behind the camera, where I found my focus in telling real stories through film.

My approach to wedding videography is simple and intentional. I work in a documentary style, staying present but unobtrusive, letting the day happen as it naturally does. I focus on honest moments, real interactions, and the details that matter most to you. The goal isn’t to create something staged or overproduced it’s to deliver a film that feels like your day as it actually happened, something you can come back to and recognize as your own.

Belle & Adam | The French Estate

A day that felt like them.

Belle and Adam’s wedding at The French Estate in Orange, California was full of warm light, genuine emotion, and the people who mattered most. From the quiet anticipation before the ceremony to the energy of the celebration that followed, every part of the day felt personal, effortless, and entirely their own.

Hanna & Nolan | A Day to Hold Onto

Some wedding days are loud and full of movement. Others have a way of slowing everything down. Hanna and Nolan’s day was a little bit of both. From the anticipation leading up to the ceremony to the hugs, laughter, and celebration that carried into the evening, their wedding was full of moments that felt honest and unfiltered.

The kind of day where the best photographs weren’t always the ones anyone planned for.
