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

I grew up surrounded by a big, emotional, memory-loving family, where photos weren’t just keepsakes, they were anchors. That upbringing shaped how I photograph weddings: with care, intuition, and a focus on the moments that actually matter.
