We are Vic and Sasha Barrera, photographers and story-tellers by choice, light chasers by craft. We absolutely love an opportunity to grab our cameras and share beautiful moments with the world. We started out just as you, two best friends in love, ready to take a leap of faith, hand in hand into that great unknown, marriage.
When we're not behind the lens, you'll catch us spending time with family and friends, watching baseball (Go Dodgers!) or likely heading to the beach.

Favorite Quotes: "Webster's Dictionary defines wedding as: The fusing of two metals with a hot torch." -Michael Scott, The Office
I’ve been searching for this feeling my entire life. Growing up I knew I wanted to be a storyteller, often losing myself in my own imagination and the occasional movie. I loved tales of triumph and victory, the ones that tug at our heartstrings and create genuine emotion. In 2015, while working alongside my beautiful and talented wife, Sasha. I finally found what my soul was longing for. The opportunity to tell some of the greatest love stories presented itself through photography! I had always been keen on choosing the right words to tell a great story. It hadn’t occurred to me those moments that leave us speechless tell their own story without a single word. It changed my perspective and my life. Sasha and I have been capturing beautiful love stories ever since. In addition to being a husband to an incredible woman, I’m a survivor of open heart surgery and bacterial meningitis, a father to some incredible children, and a huge fan of “The Office”. I’m continuing to chase that feeling great stories bring, and I can’t wait to help tell yours.

Favorite Quotes: "The best view comes after the hardest climb." -Unknown
My love for taking photographs began in 2012 when I took a college course in digital photography. I quickly became obsessed with taking photographs of everything and everyone. Around that same time, families started reaching out to me to photograph them. Word-of-mouth spread like wildfire and I eventually got asked to photograph a wedding! I still remember the butterflies I felt that day. Although I had no idea what I was doing at the time, I just knew I really loved it. Getting to capture milestones for people was life-changing for me. In the midst of all of that, I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Art Education, found my soulmate Vic, got married, gained two step kids and taught high school art for a brief time. Then a few years later, Vic and I took a leap of faith together and made photography our full-time jobs and haven’t looked back since. And I am forever grateful to all of our clients in the past years for trusting us with their dearest memories. We love what we do because of you! From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you!
