MEET THE CREW


 

As long time friends that share a common interest for photography and filmmaking, we have combined all our passions of visual storytelling and love to create Focused Journey Media. We bring a unique perspective to each wedding we capture, as we have all been friends for years and share a deep bond that translates into our work. Our chemistry and camaraderie allow us to seamlessly work together, capturing every moment, all while having fun with our couples in the process. Work never really feels like work when we're together and that's something that we've cherished over the years. Our bond goes beyond just being colleagues – we're like family. We want to bring that same energy to you - our clients, but more importantly, our friends. We can't wait to meet you soon!

BEHIND THE CAMERA

 

DAVID HO NGUYEN

Co-Founder / Lead Videographer

Whatsup everyone! My name is David! I'm a filmmaker and photographer that specializes in weddings, music, and travel. I've been creating videos as far back as 4th grade (still hard for me to wrap around my head sometimes). There's nothing like that feeling of nostalgia that you get when you come across a fond memory you captured 15 years ago or when you pop in that VHS tape that your parents recorded while growing up. My friends often tell me that I'm the "historian" of the group and that I have an "encyclopedia of memories". There's something magical about being able to relive those precious moments with your loved ones that you might have missed or forgotten over time. My creative approach can be described as documentary which involves capturing candid and natural moments as they happen. This allows me to provide a timeless and authentic representation of your day that you can cherish for years to come. When I am not holding a camera, you'll find me exploring new restaurants with my wife, attending music events, breakdancing, and of course, grabbing a bite at my favorite place to eat - In N Out.


Hello, friends! My name is Aaron! I’m a photographer and filmmaker on a mission to tell stories that matter – especially the ones wrapped in love and sprinkled with happy tears. When I'm not snapping photos or crafting films, you can find me kicking back with a cup of coffee (oat milk cortado, please!), exploring the local food scene, or planning my next adventure to some far-off destination with the homies. I'm a firm believer in living life to the fullest, and that means enjoying every moment and making the most of every opportunity. My goal is to tell a story that genuinely reflects your love journey, keeping in mind that these photos and videos will become cherished family heirlooms for generations to come. I also aim to create an experience that feels just like hanging out with homies. I foster an atmosphere of comfort and fun, making our time together a cherished memory in itself. I can't wait to be part of your special day and celebrate the incredible love you share. 🥂🎉

MARK PEREYRA

Co-Founder / Photographer


Hey there, I'm Mark, your adventure and lifestyle wedding photographer. My friends would say that I'm outgoing and imaginative - a lover of the arts, people, and storytelling. I believe that life is about the little moments that pass by so fast, and capturing those moments is what brings me joy. I strive to create an experience during your session that is unforgettable, so much so that it feels like we're just hanging out as old friends. My goal is to capture candid and in-the-moment shots that are timeless and stunning. Beyond my work, I have a gazillion hobbies, such as breakdancing (former collegiate breakdancing champion 🙌), rock climbing, and traveling. But more often than not, I’m lounging at home. And even though I do a ton of stuff, my loved ones will always be a priority.


Greetings, I'm Victorio! I am a dedicated and passionate photographer who specializes in capturing life's most special moments - weddings, couples, and graduates. I am deeply committed to preserving your special moments and creating memories that profoundly resonate with your hearts. I am here to make your experience truly exceptional, crafting an unforgettable visual journey that beautifully reflects your unique story of love and celebration. Now, a little bit about myself! I have been a dedicated fan of Taylor Swift since 2008, and my love for her music brings an extra touch of magic to my work. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me indulging dim sum with my grandparents, and growing my love for fashion. I draw inspiration from the world of style to add an extra flair to your photographs. I feel privileged to serve as your personal storyteller.

This is your story and these are your memories to hold onto forever. You might not realize it now, but when you look back it in 30 years, you'll remember exactly what you heard, who you shared the laughs with, and when you married the love of your life.
