Hey there, I’m Theo.
Welcome to my photography page! I've been a photographer in Moreno Valley, California, since 2018. What began as a hobby quickly evolved into a deep passion that led me to pursue it as a career.
After working in various niches, I found my true calling in wedding photography. Capturing and experiencing the love at weddings is truly unparalleled. In 2021, I decided to commit myself fully to weddings and engagements. My focus is on seizing the candid, heartfelt moments that often go unnoticed, in addition to creating stunning portraits that embody the emotions of the day.
When you look through my work, I aim for you to be transported back to those cherished moments, feeling the love and joy all over again.
My “Why”
Many people ask me how I got into photography and often times I would respond that I've just always enjoyed taking photos.
Since I was a kid, I always took photos on any device that had the ability to take a picture. A flip phone, an old point and shoot camera, a computer webcam, my mom's phone, heck, even a Nintendo DSI. You'd always find me carrying some kind of camera around because I genuinely enjoyed freezing moments in time to look back on later in life. I never really knew why I was so insistent on constantly taking photos of everything until I gave it more thought later on in life.
In first grade, when I was only 6 years old, an unfortunate disaster happened and I had only found out after arriving back home from school. My house had burned down completely, losing almost everything but thankfully no one was hurt. What pained our family the most though was something that no money in the world could replace. All of our photo albums were lost, all those precious memories gone and forgotten. Even as a child, I felt how devastating this was and it hurt knowing that I'll never see those photos again.
After that incident, I've made it my purpose in life to cherish any and all moments I experience and turn them into memories. That's why I take every opportunity I can to capture those precious moments on camera, so that myself and those around me can look back on those photos and simply, reminisce.
My memories are everything to me. And so are yours. That's why.
(That’s me in the middle hehe)
