Documentary-Style
Wedding Photography
Authentic moments captured with a street photographer's eye
About Me
I'm Jesse, a Santa Cruz-based street photographer turned wedding storyteller. For years, I've been capturing candid moments on the streets—fleeting expressions, raw emotions, and the beauty of everyday life. That same eye for authenticity is what I bring into my wedding photography.
Weddings are full of unscripted moments—the quick glances, the laughter, the happy tears—and my goal is to document them as naturally as they unfold. Rather than staged or forced poses, I focus on creating timeless images that feel real and true to you.
With a background in both film and digital photography, I combine classic artistry with modern storytelling. The result is a wedding gallery that's elegant, cinematic, and uniquely yours.
If you want your wedding day captured with an honest, documentary-style approach—one that feels as authentic as your love—I'd be honored to tell your story.
Street Photography
Where it all began—8 years of capturing raw, unscripted moments on the streets, all shot on film. This is the foundation of my documentary approach to photography.
