ALL ABOUT JAYMEL

I believe your photos should not only reflect how your day looked but how it felt.

my Vision

Hey, I’m Jaymel—but you can call me Jay. I’m an island boy at heart, born and raised in Hawaii, but these days, I call the neon-lit desert of Las Vegas home. Photography has always been more than just a job for me—it’s my way of preserving fleeting moments, turning them into something tangible, something that lasts.

Outside of weddings, you’ll probably find me chasing sunsets, vibing to good music, or finding the best local coffee spots (always down for an iced latte, by the way!). I believe in keeping things fun, laid-back, and real—because the best moments happen when you're fully present and just being yourself.

About JAYMEL

I didn’t always know wedding photography would be my calling. But looking back, it makes perfect sense. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling—the kind that makes you feel something. What started as a hobby capturing people and places slowly turned into a deep love for documenting connection, emotion, and those tiny in-between moments that often go unnoticed.

Over the years, I’ve honed my style into something that feels uniquely me—a mix of relaxed, editorial, modern, and classic storytelling. Weddings are the perfect place for that balance. They’re filled with both big, grand moments and quiet, intimate ones—the kind you’ll want to remember forever. And that’s exactly what I aim to capture.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me on a mission to track down the best local coffee spots. Whether it’s a perfectly crafted iced latte or a classic pour-over, coffee is my creative fuel—and the perfect excuse to slow down and soak in the moment.

There’s something about a golden-hour sky that never gets old. Whether I’m out for an evening drive or just stepping outside to take it all in, I’m always chasing that perfect sunset—the kind that makes you stop, breathe, and appreciate the beauty around you.

Chasing Sunsets

My pups keep life interesting and full of love (and let’s be honest, a little bit of chaos too). Whether we’re out on an adventure or just hanging out at home, they remind me daily to live in the moment—and to never say no to a snack break.

Through the

I believe your wedding photos shouldn’t just show you what happened—they should take you back to how it felt. The butterflies before the ceremony, the happy tears during the vows, the way your partner looked at you when you weren’t watching. Those are the moments that matter.

My goal? To capture it all in a way that’s timeless, effortless, and uniquely you. I want you to look at your photos years from now and feel every ounce of love, joy, and excitement just as if it were happening all over again. Because at the end of the day, these images aren’t just for now—they’re for a lifetime of reliving the magic.
