wedding and elopement photography in Modesto California and beyond

16 Years of Expertise with Wedding Photography

Hey there! I'm Justin Souza, and I'm the lead photographer at Photos Just So. I've been doing this wedding photography thing since about 2008 and over the years I've experienced everything the industry can throw at a wedding, and I've captured it all.

When I'm not out at a photoshoot, I'm at home with my two kids--who are not nearly as small as they were just like last week--and my genius poet wife. But chances are that wherever I am, I'm getting a photo of the experience.

Okay, can I get sentimental for a sec?

Sure, I've been taking photos since I was a kid, but I didn't know what photography really meant until I had gotten older. How old do you have to be to realize how important it is to hold onto the moments before they pass you by? For me, about 30. Since then, whether I'm photographing an elopement, a wedding day, a family photo session, a branding session, or something for a local business, I'm always obsessed with bottling those split-second experiences into something that you can have, hold, and love forever. I want my photos to bring you back to the moment. All the big emotions and the spontaneous joy you'll want to remember forever. What I love most is capturing your day as it unfolds organically around us, but doing so with a creative eye: framing things artistically, playing with color and light.
