Adventurous Photos For Adventurous Lovers

Since then, not only has the business grown, but so has our family! We now have two beautiful boys, Ezra and Elijah (we call him Eli). We’ve been blessed to be partners both in life and business but with the amount of work we started to take on, Amy unfortunately had to step down. As much as it sucks not working with my best friend anymore, I have a strong team of amazing photographers who are now part of The Daring Ones! Each and every one of them share the same core values and are amazing photographers/videographers with many weddings under their belts. Almost all our recent work has been done with this awesome team and I genuinely believe they’ve made The Daring Ones better!



MY story starts 10 years ago...

I guess this is where I share all the juicy details of my life...

my story...

The Daring Ones was actually started by myself and my amazing wife, Amy. We met when we were 13 and not too long after that we dated for 8 months long distance. Yea, we were 14 and dated for 8 months l o n g d i s t a n c e. Unfortunately, life had other plans for us and we went our separate ways. Heartbroken and young, neither of us dated anyone else after that. Call it fate or coincidence, we managed to pop back up into each others lives, almost by accident, two years after the breakup. From there we grew closer together in an even stronger way. We dated for two years, moved out here to California to go to ministry school, got married when I was 19, had our first baby at 20, purchased and renovated our own tiny house, and started this business from the ground up!

More about me and my life...

More about me!

I love any and all music (yea even country 🤠) and actually play a few instruments! I was actually born and raised in Miami and I'm part Cuban/Dominican. If you don't know, that means that my family gets LOUD and rowdy. With a passion for food, music, and family, they are some of the most passionate people! Despite my Hispanic blood, I've always been really down to earth. So much so that I chose to be #teamhomeshcool instead of going to middle school. That meant I had way too much freedom which led to no school work getting done and instead, lots of time spent learning about instruments, cameras, and anything creative. I always knew I wanted to create "things" for a living. I never did think it would lead me down this path. I've been blessed to meet some awesome couples, see some stunning places, and capture some amazing stories!
