Swan Lake Resort Wedding

June 7, 2016

At the moment we met L+Z, we knew something excited was about to happen. We couldn’t stop thinking how fun their wedding day would be.

After a few minutes of talking, we forgot about the purpose of the meeting and all we could talk about was Alaska (where they live) and it’s gorgeous scenery. We even started planning a future visit and a trip together full of pictures and adventures. Without even realizing it the months passed and we found ourselves documenting their day of union full of happiness just as we had imagined.

The bride looked spectacular! We were left speechless when we got to her room; at the door was an angelical face and a pair of blue eyes full of illusion.

The universe has put couples that are full of positive energy, fun and very much in love like these two…and that’s what makes our work even more magical and special. Thanks L+ Z for sharing your happiness with us and for believing in our passion for photography before you even met us in person. Finally, we leave here a glance at the beautiful moments (some you might not remember) that you lived that magical day.

BEHIND THE LENS

MEET
Juancho + Johana

We’re Johana and Juancho — partners in life, creativity, and capturing love stories across the globe. Juancho’s journey began with bold determination: he moved from Colombia to the U.S. with nothing but vision, passion, and a deep love for people’s stories. He bought the best lens on the market before even owning a camera, and after his first engagement session with friends, he came home glowing. That spark turned into a decade-long career rooted in emotion, connection, and purpose. Juancho has a magnetic personality — the kind that makes fast friends with strangers on planes, in grocery aisles, and even with our UPS guy. Weddings, with all their energy, humanity, and beautiful chaos, are his favorite kind of playground.

I bring a different kind of energy to the team. With a background in modeling and a career as a radio and TV host, I’ve always lived in creative spaces — and now I channel that into editorial work and wedding storytelling. Juancho likes to call my eye “the girly point of view,” but really it’s about noticing what often goes unseen: the softness, the glances, the stillness in between the big moments. Maybe it’s the journalist in me, but I’m always drawn to the why behind the image. Together, we balance each other — and we love creating with people who value that harmony of heart and art.
