COUPLES WHO WANT NO SMALL MOMENT MISSED.

Ruby Sandoval

When it comes to capturing the precious milestones in life, you want to remember more than who was there and what they wore.

If you truly want to step back into the moment every time you flip through your album, you need a photographer who can make you feel like yourself and forget the camera’s there.

That’s the way we capture the glimmer in your eye when your love whispers a joke in your ear.

It’s how we capture the REAL laughter when we ask you and your sweet family and friends to fake laugh first.

It’s the best way to pause who you are in a moment and give it a place in your legacy.

It's about more than "taking pictures"

RELIVE YOUR MOST treasured MOMENTS FOR YEARS TO COME

And it was an iPhone shot printed at Walgreens! #facepalm

Hola! I’m Ruby – she/her.

I’m a Tucson wedding photographer who’s crazy committed to capturing and printing your picture-present day so you don’t have to rely on your actual memory to relive this milestone of your love story.

Because while I’m super grateful to my friend Ivan for snapping that special photo with his phone and thought to run to Walgreens and get it framed for us, I really wish I could step back into each of the small moments of our day that were missed.

And now as a Mama to my 2 kiddos, wife, and exclusive-dog-family, I really GET the value and importance of a tangible memory.

It’s about more than just freezing time. It’s about breathing life back into your meaningful moments for years to come with the people you love most. And it’s my mission to make that possible for you, your love, and your family.

I have one printed photo from my wedding day

can you believe this?

You won't remember the perfect flowers, you'll remember how your sister's smile glowed behind her bouquet.
You won't remember every detail about your dress, you'll remember how you felt when you danced with your love.
You won't remember your getting-ready robe, you'll remember laughing with your abuela on your wedding day.
You won't remember the mariachi band at cocktail hour…
Well, okay THAT ONE you might remember.

Wouldn't you rather have a picture-present day instead of a picture-perfect one?

That's what I'm here to capture for you.

And my sweet Gems always say that I'm the calming presence that helps make their presence possible on their big day, too.

Don't get me wrong, the details of a wedding day or family celebration DO matter. But when it's all said and done:


Presence is the real memory-maker

perfection doesn't make a day memorable

Family legacy is about so much more than a wedding day. Life’s meaningful milestones are everywhere we look, and if we don’t make a point to capture them, we just might miss or forget how we felt in the moment.

Portrait sessions are for families of all kinds, and can be booked to mark the moment for any of your meaningful milestones.

As a hopeless romantic myself, weddings are my absolute joy to take on. I make space to focus on each couple individually and take on a very limited amount of weddings per year, so you get the ROYAL treatment!

Get the details on the wedding experience, and then inquire for your dates if we are a match made in festive forever heaven!

I HELP MY CLIENTS shine FOR ALL TO SEE

A few years ago I started calling my couples and clients, VIGs — short for Very Important Gems.

This came about because I felt like we were truly family after working together, and I felt like we needed a group name. Lady Gaga has her Little Monsters. Taylor Swift has her Swifties. And Ruby Sandoval will do anything for her Gems.

It’s a name that brings us together, but it’s also a reminder that on the surface I may just be a Tucson Wedding Photographer, but you won’t find anyone who truly CARES about your day or your moment as much as you do other than ME.

I THINK YOU’RE A TOTAL GEM
