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, my main focus has been on weddings, engagements, and city hall elopements. My style is natural, true to color, with a bit of an editorial touch—timeless and centered around capturing genuine emotions and meaningful details.
