It's so nice to meet you

Hey, I'm Julian Guevara, a California native and a proud 90's kid. In this wild journey called life, I wear many hats – Artist, Photographer, Father, Motorcycle enthusiast, and Traveler. I've always been captivated by the art of capturing love in its many forms.

Being a calm and easygoing soul, I thrive on connecting with people, sharing laughs, and making genuine connections. When I'm not capturing unforgettable moments behind the lens, you'll catch me immersed in the world of art – whether it's indulging in films, flipping through books, grooving to music, exploring the latest gallery exhibits, or getting my hands dirty building motorcycles and turning a few bolts.

Photography, for me, transcends skill; it's the magic of freezing moments that linger for a lifetime. Weddings, portraits, or captivating editorials – I find joy in crafting memories that tell stories and evoke emotions. Now, what sets me apart? Im also an empathetic soul, who understands the subtle connections between people and what makes each individual unique in the moment in time, I allow you to be you and I capture that raw, unabashed, authentic self in these images.

I find joy in creating memories that tell stories and evoke emotions. Let's embark on this visual journey together!

My name is Julian

Hello!

Back in 2011, I stumbled upon a treasure trove of old family photo albums, a nostalgic journey that unveiled the simple yet profound snapshots of my great-grandmother, Tias, Tios, and my parents before parenthood embraced them. These timeless photos were filled with life, love, and quirks—unposed moments that granted me a deeper understanding of their stories. It was an enchanting revelation that sparked a love affair with the art of capturing genuine moments.

In response, I began carrying my camera everywhere, immortalizing simple snapshots of friends and family in their everyday moments. This became a stylized documentation of my own life on film. What started as a simple hobby swiftly evolved into what I now believe to be my calling. In pursuit of this passion, I made a pivotal decision—to fully immerse myself in the world of art.

Fast forward to 2014, the year I became a father. This transformative moment crystallized my purpose – to capture the raw, intimate, and quirky moments that make life truly extraordinary. From that day forward, it's been a heartfelt journey of freezing these authentic slices of life in time, and I absolutely LOVE IT!

Every photoshoot, to me, is a fresh exploration, a unique experience crafted to tell your story. My style is not just about taking pictures; it's about capturing the essence of who you are, preserving the genuine connections, and documenting the moments that make your story uniquely yours.

These photos aren't just for today; they're a timeless gift for generations to come. Let me be the storyteller who helps you relive these cherished moments for years to come.

I find joy and balance in various activities outside of photography, including riding motorcycles, camping, hiking with my family, off-roading, exploring museums, and traveling to new destinations. These experiences are about trying new things, learning, and creating lasting memories. Being a motorcycle enthusiast and builder is more than just a hobby; it's a creative outlet that complements my photography. Custom bikes are like moving works of art, and riding them feels like meditation, allowing me to reflect on life and generate new ideas.

Exploring culinary delights, especially Mexican cuisine, and cooking keeps me grounded in my cultural roots. Growing up in Los Angeles exposed me to diverse cultures and art forms, enriching my perspective and creativity. Family is my anchor, teaching me to cherish life's simple pleasures and create lasting memories through laughter and shared experiences.

Traveling fuels my passion for new experiences and learning, with photography serving as a means to document these adventures and evoke emotions long after the journey ends. It's a reminder of the richness of life and the beauty of the world. As a down-to-earth, laid-back individual who loves to have a good time and isn't afraid to take risks, my diverse experiences and hobbies inform my approach to capturing love stories through wedding photography. I aim to authentically capture the emotions and moments that make each couple's story unique, drawing inspiration from my passion for life and exploration.

In my photography work, whether it's capturing weddings, portraits or creating editorials, my primary focus is on storytelling through imagery. I believe that every moment holds a story waiting to be told, and my aim is to capture the essence of those stories in a way that resonates deeply with my audience.

For weddings, I approach each event with a dedication to capturing genuine emotions and intimate moments. By building connections with the couple and their guests, I strive to create timeless memories that reflect the uniqueness of their love story.

Similarly, in other photography projects, I collaborate closely with clients to understand their vision and bring it to life. From fashion shoots to lifestyle portraits, I pay meticulous attention to detail, infusing each image with creativity and artistic flair.

My approach to photography involves thorough planning and precise execution. Whether I'm capturing a wedding or working on an editorial, I arrive early to familiarize myself with the surroundings and key moments, ensuring that no detail is overlooked.

Ultimately, my goal as a photographer is to create images that evoke emotion, inspire curiosity, and tell stories that endure. Through my work, I aim to leave a lasting impression, preserving cherished memories and capturing the beauty of the human experience for generations to come.

"Behind the Lens"

WILD HEARTS

ALL LOVE, NO FLUFF

You want your photos to reflect the raw emotions & energy that you feel in this chapter of your life. You love the natural feels and close intimate interaction with one another, you don't mind the wind blowing hair in your face or getting a bit dirty laying on the ground. You don't mind running freely through an open field smiling, laughing letting all your love and vulnerability show. You're willing to be adventurous and trust that I genuinely want to create something magical for you…

If this is you, I'm confident that we are a right fit. I look to dig a little deeper; I want to tell your story; create something that reflects and expresses all sides of you. I want to capture your genuine self, rather than just making a pretty portrait. I won't pose you, more like direct you in conversation capturing the raw moments in between. Be Free to live in the moment! These photographs are a gift to yourself as well to your loved ones. From here your story will only continue to grow. You are a Wild Heart!

Documenting timeless stories that reflect the unique spirit of each individual, capturing life's raw beauty and genuine moments. Every image we create is a heartfelt expression of love, adventure, and authenticity.
