Hi, I’m Gerard “Lalo” Sandoval, the photographer behind Weddings by Lalo.

I specialize in photojournalistic wedding photography rooted in storytelling, not staging. What that means is that I focus on real emotion, meaningful connection, and the quiet, candid in-betweens that often say the most.

Where I Work

I’m based in Los Angeles, California, and photograph weddings throughout Southern California, including Malibu, Palm Springs, and the Central Coast. I also travel often for destination weddings in Maui, New York, Mexico City, and beyond.

Why Couples Work With Me

With over a decade of experience in weddings and editorial photography, I bring both a creative direction and a grounded, calming presence.

I show up fully tuned in to your vibe, your people, and the unscripted energy of the day.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer in Los Angeles or planning a destination wedding, let’s connect.
