Authentic wedding memories for couples who do things differently.

I get it — planning a wedding can feel overwhelming. Maybe you never imagined yourself getting married in the first place, or maybe you’re trying to balance traditions with what feels true to you.

The last thing you want is a photographer in your face all day, staging every moment. You just want to be present, celebrate your love, and feel reassured someone has your memories covered.

That’s where I come in.

My name is Jenica. I’m an artist, photographer, filmmaker, and storyteller.

For over 13 years and 200+ weddings, I’ve been documenting love across the country. I first picked up a film camera in high school and was hooked when I developed my first roll in the darkroom. That passion led me to study photography and documentary film, and then to move to New York City to launch my career.

Working with me feels like having a calm, supportive friend by your side.

I’ll give soft direction when needed but mostly stay unobtrusive, letting your day unfold naturally. I have an artistic documentary shooting style, looking for the genuine moments that compose your wedding day — the excited glances, the joy of your grandmother seeing you in your wedding outfit, and the energy of people coming together to celebrate your love. You’ll receive a gallery or film full of laughter, tears, dance floor chaos, and quiet moments you didn’t even know happened.

Couples have described me as:

Super down to earth

A calming presence

Professional & dependable

SUPER STEALTHY

Incredible eye

Friendly & flexible

A true artist

A great listener

Trustworthy

A cool person

Exploring new places has always been part of my life and continues to inspire how I see the world.

I’m half Guatemalan and grew up travelling to Central America at a young age, which gave me a deep appreciation for family, culture, and getting out of my comfort zone. After 15 years in New York City, I relocated to Arizona to live closer to nature and create space for the kind of artful, intentional life I believe in.

I value inclusivity, honesty, and making people feel seen.

My mission? To create wedding photos and films that feel like you —wild, tender, and beautifully real.

I believe you should do exactly what you want on your wedding day with people who get you, in front of a backdrop as epic as your love story. My work showcases the unique love you share with your partner; your job is just to breathe, stay present and soak it all in.

I’m happiest outdoors, even though I’m allergic to every kind of pollen.

When I’m not editing at the computer, you’ll find me falling at the climbing gym, sleeping, inhaling coffee smoothies, hiking desert trails, and thrifting for treasures. Many of my couples share the same love of adventure, authenticity, and intentional living, which makes us fast friends. And that makes documenting your special day feel like second nature.
