about
Aileen & Oscar
The (soon to be) husband-and-wife team crafting bold, editorial, documentary imagery for people who’d rather rewrite the rulebook than follow it.
We’re Aileen and Oscar. High school sweethearts turned creatives, travel partners, and founders of Aileen Ayala Photo.

We believe the most powerful images are the ones that feel alive — not staged or filtered through trend, but filled with soul. Storytelling, for us, starts with people. Not perfection. Not poses. Just truth — captured with care. We believe presence matters more than polish. That ease is a form of elegance. And that trust is something you earn — not just through your work, but through how you show up. Quietly. Fully. Authentically. Our work lives in the in-between: the messy tears. The joyful chaos. The kind of light you only get when no one’s rushing. This is laid-back luxury. This is art that breathes. This is your story, told with intention — and held with care.
THE BEAUTY OF WHAT
UNFOLDS NATURALLY
Oscar is the calm in the storm — the one adjusting your veil mid-hug, grabbing your favorite drink before you ask, and scouting the exact pocket of light that’ll make your portraits sing.
Travel is part of our DNA — it keeps our creativity alive and reminds us how big, beautiful, and wildly human this work really is. We carry all of that with us when we show up to your wedding: our eye, our ease, our experience, and our full hearts. Not just to take pretty pictures — but to tell your story, in a way that actually feels like you.
MEET
AILEEN
Aileen brings the heart — she’ll probably tear up during your vows, laugh with your mom during glam, and make you feel seen in every frame. We believe in the kind of elegance that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Luxury that still feels light-hearted.
