MEET THE PHOTOGRPAHER

Hi, my name is Angel Abarca. I am a photographer and graphic designer based in the Bay Area (available to travel).

Although I started as a graphic designer after graduating from college in El Salvador in 2012, I discovered my passion for photography in 2017 after moving to California. Since then, I’ve been capturing weddings, engagements, quinceañeras, and more.

For the past four years, I’ve focused on weddings, engagements, and city hall elopements. I enjoy working with couples who care about capturing genuine moments, timeless images, and a perfect blend of editorial style and documentary storytelling.
