Hi, I’m Esteban Leyva.

I’m an award-winning photographer who began my creative journey at 15, capturing authentic moments that reveal the beauty within each subject. As the "2024 Best Wedding Photographer" recognized by California Wedding Day Magazine, I focus on creating a comfortable space for individuals in front of the camera, allowing their true selves to shine.

With a passion for fashion and a love for vibrant colors alongside striking black-and-white imagery, I bring visions to life with emotion and depth. As a proud queer Mexican American born and raised in Oxnard, CA, I draw inspiration from my heritage and experiences, emphasizing flexibility, vision, and self-awareness as essential qualities in any artistic journey.

I believe that connecting with the earth and embracing moments of stillness and meditation are vital to the creative process, enriching my artistry and deepening my perspective. Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to capturing your unique story.
