Not just a photographer or videographer... a visual storyteller for loved-up souls
We are Jarron and Shalese Ahfua (AH-foo-A). We have been married for almost 4 years and have known one another since we were 12 years old! I KNOW! Isn't that wild?! We met in Jr. High School and have been inseparable since. Jarron is Samoan and Shalese is Chilean and together we have an adorable baby girl. We love getting to know new people, being outdoors, playing sports and being creative! Doing photo and video together has brought us closer than ever. Surrounding ourselves with people who are madly in love like us is what brings us happiness.
Doing weddings all began with Shalese. Shalese started doing photography 7 years ago. She bought herself a camera for Christmas and started carrying it EVERYWHERE. Her friends began to ask her to take photos of them and then got hired to shoot a wedding. It all took off from there! Two years into marriage, Jarron was asked to film a friend's wedding and he fell in love with it! We decided to bring our creative outlets together to start taking on weddings as a badass duo and the rest is history!

Close your eyes and imagine yourself at your engagements, bridals or wedding day. Obviously you can't ACTUALLY close your eyes because you're reading this lol but truly imagine it! I know what you're thinking... You probably see you and your fiancé standing in front of a giant camera in silence, smiling like how you practiced in the mirror in an awkward, stiff pose...
THATS NOT HOW WE ROLL.
Now imagine you've hired us as your photo and video team and we are playing awesome music, standing in a gorgeous location and we are putting you guys in a flattering pose. We do lots of fun interactive prompts and we are all laughing, and having so much fun and then wow! The session is over?! You and your partner are on your way home thinking, "Wow, that was sooo much easier and more fun than we thought it would be." A few days later you receive a gallery that you can't stop starring at and sharing! These moments will last forever. Now, THATS HOW WE ROLL!
Hey, I'm Shalese! I am 26 years old and I've been doing photography for over 7 years. I have loved every second of getting to where I am today with my photography. I've met so many amazing friends and feel honored to be in a career that truly brings me so much joy.
Aside from photography I love drinking coffee with friends, spending time with my one year old, playing sports, playing games with my family, hiking, camping, listening to cool music, eating chocolate, man, I could go on! I can't wait to learn about you!
“Most people would describe me as goofy, down to earth, kind, funny and creative."

What's up?! My name is Jarron and I have been doing wedding videography for about three years. Through the last three years I have met so many fun and amazing people. I've really enjoyed capturing the moments the that matter most and also trying all of the different wedding cakes!
Outside of videography I enjoy playing & watching sports, hiking, video games, music, and hanging out with family. I am always up for trying new things and creating real life stories to tell.

"I cannot say enough good things about these wonderful humans! Shalese just took our engagement pictures and they are better than I could have imagined! She was amazing to work with during the shoot! She made things so fun, natural and easy! We got the pictures back and I can’t stop obsessing over them!!"

It was our first couples photoshoot and we didn’t know what to expect. Shalese did awesome and made us comfortable, laughing literally the whole time lol. Best part was how our pictures turned out!! We love them SO MUCH!
Lasini + Masi
The Ahfuas are absolutely wonderful. Their work speaks for itself. They were able to capture the vibe of my husband and I so well but still make it absolutely beautiful. They got shots I didn’t even know I wanted. They were an absolute joy to work with!

Every wedding, every shoot, I see the world through a whole new lens. Your story will be different from the last, and this ignites my passion all over again.
