This is art with a heartbeat. Presence over perfection.

Jalisa Roslyn Photo blends editorial elegance with documentary honesty — for the emotionally tuned-in couples who want to fully embrace their wedding day while I create multi-generational heirlooms. All on digital and 35mm film.

Polished but not perfect. Artistic but never performative.

What I Do What I Do What I Do What I Do What I Do 

Weddings

Emotionally tuned-in wedding coverage on digital + 35mm film. I document your day with a calm presence and an editorial eye — so every photo feels fresh, alive, and completely you.

Elopements

Preserving emotion with elegance and intention. From curated details to spontaneous joy, I document the in-between moments that become your multi-generational heirlooms.

Couples

The same care, consideration, and artistry - but for your engagement, proposal, or anniversary.


WORK

Editorial, elevated imagery — created with a relaxed, no-pressure approach and your legacy in mind.
This is where poetry meets presence - and nothing feels performative.

ABOUT the 
PHOTOGRAPHER

I'm half-Filipina, a former ballerina, proud veteran, and a firm believer that great photos are based on real moments.

I'm a detail-obsessed observer, here to turn your realest moments into art (yes, even the messy moments). My approach is grounded, poetic, and just a little bit zesty. Because your love story deserves to be told in a way that feels as alive as it truly was.
