About Us

Hello!

Photography is what brought us together. Both of us had explored the art long before we met, and as we started dating, we began capturing the moments that became the time capsules of our love story.

We created El Studio not only to share our passion for photography but because we know just how important it is to preserve life's precious memories with the ones you love.

To us, family means everything, and time is a luxury we never take for granted. Life is short, and moments are fleeting. One day, when we’re old and gray, we’ll look back on the memories we’ve created and smile.

We’re driven by a passion for storytelling. Let’s explore together! We’d love to help you tell your love story, wherever that journey may take you!
