To Have Her aims to curate a gallery that is not only artistic but, above all, reflective of who the couple is at their core. Film is at the centre of their work and what the duo specialises in. Based in Las Vegas and L.A. and celebrating love in all its forms, To Have Her is available for bookings worldwide.


Tell us about your business! 


Hi, we’re Ximena and Pablo! We’re a photography and videography duo who specialize in analog  formats (35mm /120 film / Polaroids / Super 8 / 16mm). Storytelling is at the heart of everything we  do and we love drawing inspiration from the arts, particularly cinema. Our approach blends  documentary and editorial styles to create imagery that feels both personal and cinematic.


What would you like couples to know about you? 


We are an all-inclusive vendor! No matter who you are or how you choose to say “I do,” your story  is welcome here and we’ll tell it with the artistry and intention your love deserves.


Where are you based? 


We are based out of the Las Vegas and Los Angeles areas.


Do you travel for weddings? 


Absolutely! We find ourselves returning to San Francisco, New York, and Seattle often, but we’re  always ready to pack our bags. Whether it’s across the country or across the world, we’re open to traveling anywhere love takes us. 


We also have a dream destination list of places we’re dreaming of capturing love stories at here!


How would you describe your style? 


Our philosophy is rooted in a hands-free approach —allowing moments to unfold naturally, with  subtle direction when needed. For most couples, this is the first time they’re being professionally  photographed so we like to prioritize a calm, effortless atmosphere where the experience feels  organic. The result is imagery that reflects not only how your day looked, but how it truly felt.


What inspires you? 


So much of what we do is rooted in our love for cinema. We’ve always been drawn to the way a  single scene, or still, can say so much without ever saying an actual word. Something that really  resonates with us is that many of the directors who inspire us and our work (David Lynch, Wong  Kar-wai, Sofia Coppola, Wes Anderson) shoot primarily on film, specifically 35mm film. And it made so much sense to us. That’s where our own love affair with film began: the colors, the texture, the  deliberate intention behind every frame. It’s not just a medium for us, it’s our signature, our  fingerprint, and the heartbeat of our work.


Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?


We like to keep our elopements exclusively on film but do offer film and digital photography packages  for full day weddings.


Do you have custom packages according to individual needs? 


Of course! We understand every wedding is unique and we’re always happy to work with couples to  create custom packages to fit their specific needs.


What is a favourite product or service that you offer and why? 


I would have to say at the moment we’re really loving 16mm. We’ve always dreamt of adding this  format to our services, and it’s been such a joy to finally weave it into our process. The sharpness,  the fine grain, the way it captures every subtle movement—it mirrors the magic of true motion  pictures and gives a wedding day the texture and depth of a classic film. It’s pure magic.


Who is your dream client? 


Our dream clients are couples who unapologetically prioritize themselves on their wedding day.  Those who weave personal touches into every detail, choose meaning over tradition, and value the  experience as much as the images. They gravitate toward something authentic, intentional, and  artful, with a love for style that feels both fashion-forward and deeply personal. 


We’re incredibly to lucky to say that we have worked with our dream clients in the past and continue  doing so. It’s through this work that we have met some of the most wonderful, beautiful, and kind  people and honestly, it’s our favorite part of the job.


What is your advice to couples getting married? 


Do what feels right for you. Your wedding day is exactly that—yours. It doesn’t have to look a  certain way or follow tradition unless you want it to. Fill it with moments that matter to you and let go  of the rest. If that means ending the night on a park bench with a slice of pizza in hand, laughing  with your person, then it’s perfect.
