Marina and Alejandro’s Wedding at Los Robles Greens
 

Marina and Alejandro’s day was overflowing with love you could feel. 💗 From the quiet, sacred moments inside their family church in Los Feliz to the wild, joy-filled dance floor at Los Robles Greens, everything felt easy, warm, and deeply genuine.

As a Los Angeles wedding photojournalist, my work is rooted in documentary wedding photography. That means I do not chase “perfect” staged shots. Honestly, what even is perfect? For me, it is about stepping into the heartbeat of the day. It is about capturing moments that are raw, unscripted, and full of truth.

With Marina and Alejandro, that heartbeat was STRONG. Their wedding was full of loud laughter, big hugs, and crazy dance moves. But there were also tender, quiet moments that carried so much weight. They honored the memory of her dad and aunt in ways that felt soft and powerful. Their presence was felt all around, reminding everyone that love goes beyond time and space.

When I look at these photos, I see what documentary photography is all about. I see joy that cannot be staged. I see tears that cannot be planned. I see family connections that are deep and real. This is why I love Los Robles Greens wedding photography and why I keep pursuing documentary wedding photography in Los Angeles.

Allison & Cody’s Colorful San Diego Wedding at The Heights Golf Club
 

“Hey Allison, is a red dress too much? ”

“No, red is perfect.

It was my first time photographing a wedding in a bright red dress, but it matched the entire vibe of their day. Allison and Cody asked guests to wear something bold and colorful, and they meant it. The wedding was full of hot pinks, bright reds, and color everywhere you looked.

Allison is just like the palette she chose - passionate, outspoken, and full of fire. Cody is her perfect balance and brings total golden retriever energy. He is warm, gentle, and makes people feel instantly at ease.

I love how life brings people together at the right time. Neither of them was looking for a serious relationship when they met at a friend’s party, but their connection was undeniable, and they just never stopped hanging out. 💗

Since then, they’ve grown so much together. From studying human development and law to graduating and passing the bar, they’ve built something real and grounded.

Their San Diego wedding at The Heights Golf Club reflected exactly who they are. It was vibrant, fearless, and full of heart. This is the type of documentary wedding photography I love the most.

Why You Should Keep Your Documentary Wedding Photographer Until the End of the Night
 

Let me tell you a little secret: some of the best wedding photos happen at the very end.

You know, after the cake has been cut. After the formalities. After the speeches and the group portraits. When your shoes are off, your hair is messy, and everyone is just being their best selves on the dance floor.

That’s when the real magic happens.

We’re talking about joyful chaos. Drunk hugs. Grandma dancing to Beyoncé. Friends crying happy tears in the corner. Wild moves no one will remember the next day. And of course… that one cousin who thinks he’s in a boy band now. 😂

When our coverage of wedding photography and wedding videography gets cut early, we often miss out on the real and unfiltered joy that happens once the pressure is off. The last few hours are where the raw emotions come through; sometimes they are the kind of thing that makes your wedding story unforgettable.

As a wedding photojournalist, I love documenting these moments because they will remind you how your wedding felt

Not just how it looked.

Here are a few moments we’ve captured only because we stayed until the very end (and YES, you’ll see what we mean in the photos below):

 
 

These are real memories. The ones you’ll laugh at, cry over, and treasure forever.

So if you're wondering how long you should have your wedding photographer stay, here's our advice:
Keep us until the end.

Because that’s when the kind of raw memories no one plans happen.
