Hi!

I’m Ruben, a photographer based out of Aptos, CA. I’ve lived and worked in Santa Cruz and the Bay Area my whole life.

Besides Photography I love to listen to music. Indie, folk, EDM, independent, mariachi, rock, classical, throw in some bluegrass and you’ll get a feel for my playlist. I love to be outside and take in nature. I have an awesome wife and 2 awesome kids, although I could do without watching the same movie for the 20th time.

I love to capture moments and spotlight people in the best way possible. I love when photos capture not just a time but — a feeling — a mood. We should all feel like we’re living out a happy-scene from our favorite movie when we look at our photos. I want to give you photos that will make you smile every time you look back at them. Photos that will be memorable year after year.

I’m available for wedding, portrait, couple, family, engagements, and commercial photography. I can travel to San Francisco, Monterey, San Jose, and the rest of the Bay Area.

I’m open to working with all. Whatever your preference, lifestyle, culture, religion, I want to make your day special. Let’s connect and let me help capture one of the most important days in your life.
