I focus on real moments as they unfold, elevated by light, composition, and quiet direction when needed, so you can stay present while I take care of the rest.

EVERY

LOVE STORY

This page is a reflection of the love stories I’m honored to document. I photograph couples of all kinds, approaching each wedding with openness, respect, and a focus on honest connection rather than expectation or tradition.

HI, I'M RENÉ.

A wedding photographer drawn to real connection, quiet emotion, and the moments that unfold when people feel truly at ease. My work blends documentary storytelling with an editorial eye, capturing weddings as they’re lived — raw, intentionally, and with heart.

I show up with calm energy, thoughtful guidance, and deep respect for every love story. From our first conversation to your final gallery, my goal is for you to feel supported, seen, and fully present — and to look back on your photos and feel exactly how it all felt.

Los Angeles is home. The rest of the world is an open invitation.

CREATIVE ENGAGEMENT SHOOTS

Every celebration carries its own rhythm and priorities. My collections are thoughtfully designed to support weddings, elopements, and engagement sessions — whether close to home or somewhere worth a passport stamp — with coverage that feels considered, flexible, and aligned with what matters most to you.

Wedding collections begin at $4,000
