Hi there! Thank you for stopping by. We are Luis and Jessie and we’re a married team of photographers. We’re based in the San Francisco Bay Area which is also where we grew up. We’ve been together for 10 years, married for 5, and photographing as a team for over 3 years.
You’re going to read stories from a lot of photographers about how, “Photographing weddings has been their calling since they were a baby”, and how they were, “carrying a camera ever since they could walk”. Truth is, none of that applies to us.
We both come from traditional science and engineering backgrounds. At the same time, we have also had an artistic side to us that we were never quite able to shake off – Luis took 3 years of art in high school and a couple of design classes in college, while Jessie took several years of pottery in college. Photography was something that we always enjoyed ever since we got our first DSLR cameras over a decade ago, and as time went by and we honed our skills, we came to be the designated “go-to” picture takers at family events. It wasn’t until more recently that we decided to turn our passion and talents into something we could share with others.
When we’re not out photographing weddings or editing pictures, you’ll probably find us at home enjoying our time as new parents with our baby girl, Elie, or playing with our yellow lab, Taro (yes, like the root).
Thank you for stopping by! We’re Luis and Jessie—a married photography team capturing love stories throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, which is also where our own story began.

We come from traditional backgrounds in science and engineering, which gives us the unique ability to bring both analytical precision and artistic vision to our photography.
Our creative roots run deep—Luis spent years studying art before his engineering career, while Jessie found expression through pottery alongside her scientific pursuits. This unique blend of technical expertise and artistic sensibility defines our photographic style: thoughtfully composed images that capture authentic moments with remarkable clarity.
What began as being the unofficial photographers at family gatherings evolved into something more meaningful when we realized we could use our talents to preserve the most important day in couples’ lives. Now, we approach each wedding with the perfect balance of technical excellence and emotional intuition.
When we’re not behind our cameras or perfecting your images, you’ll find us at home with our newest muse—our baby girl, Elie—and our energetic yellow lab, Taro, who reminds us daily to appreciate life’s unscripted moments.
