We celebrate love stories and honor family legacies.
Hello there, we are Luis and Elise, photographers in Manteca and surrounding cities!
We are a husband-and-wife duo specializing in creating vibrant, stunning, and engaging images with a timeless film aesthetic. Each photograph beautifully highlights its subject in a unique way. Rather than subjecting our clients to strenuous posing, we prefer to provide gentle guidance that encourages authentic gestures, which we absolutely love! We understand that being photographed can feel intimidating for some. However, we often hear our clients express relief, saying, "We had fun!"
