Photo Shoots in Aliso Viejo, CA

Hi, my name is Jay and I have been a photographer/videographer for the better half of two decades. I started HYLO Events (wedding, engagement, party photography) in 2013, and portsbyjay as my boudoir brand back in 2019; and have also worked closely with some of the top studios in weddings, and established brands in the automotive industry. My passion is creating artistic visuals primarily using natural light, but have extensive knowledge with off camera flash. I primarily shoot with the Sony ecosystem, and currently am using the A7RIII for photos, and the A7SIII for video. I do all the editing and retouching myself (disclaimer: I am not a master retoucher), which gives me a more expansive view on what could be improved on during the photoshoot phase. My prices are competitive without sacrificing quality. I do have a bit of a type-A personality, so I pay particular attention to the details, especially for weddings! I compose myself with a fun, yet professional manner at all times (doesn't matter the circumstances). Working boudoir and weddings for numerous years has really taught me about professionalism and a committed work ethic.
