Hi, I’m Lalo. I’m here for the couples who hate to be told "Smile for the Camera."

Let’s be real: most people freeze up the second a lens is pointed at them. The stiff poses, the forced laughter, the feeling that you’re performing for an audience, that’s not how you want to remember your wedding.

My approach is simple: I don’t direct your day; I document it.

As a Los Angeles film wedding photographer, I treat your wedding like a documentary, not a photoshoot. I shoot on 35mm film because it keeps me present. I’m not checking a digital screen; I’m watching for the tear rolling down your dad’s cheek or the way your hands touch under the dinner table.

Tu familia es mi familia. Being fluent in Spanish means I can connect with your entire guest list. Whether it’s joking with your Tíos or making sure your Abuelita feels comfortable and seen, I bridge the gap so everyone relaxes. When people relax, the photos are magic.

Whether we’re in a backyard in Silver Lake, Malibu beach or the desert in Palm Springs, my goal is the same: to give you photos that feel exactly like the moment felt. Real, messy, and completely yours.

Fill out the CONTACT FORM and I will personally get back to you within 24hr.
