Astrid + Edwin

Here we are, it’s the end of 2024. This year has proven to be a year of growth in our business. This is the year that I will remember as quitting my full time job and becoming a full time photographer, as well as a homeschool teacher to my little one. This is the year that our faithful clients delivered. We will forever be grateful.

Towards the end of the year, Astrid and Edwin approached me to ask if I would take their wedding pictures. They told me it was an intimate wedding, nothing glorious or fancy, but they simply wanted to be with their loved ones. Astrid told me the venue was not the greatest venue, but I just smiled. Nothing is too little or too less for such a special moment. We made magic happen. There is no wedding I would say no to, as long as the client respects the art of the photographer. I have always been blessed with such great clients. They encourage me to go forward; my confidence grows as they place their trust in me. I do not take this lightly. So 2025 is soon approaching, and perhaps you’re planning a wedding and think you don’t deserve a photographer. But yes you do. We can make it happen, and when it does- you’ll be glad you invested. 2025, be kind and gentle, but also bring forth boldness and strength.

We are entering a new era in Los Castro Photography. The era of full time. For the past twelve years we have had experiences in every area of photography- including international photography. We officially made it a business in 2018 when coming back from living abroad. The husband and wife team eventually turned into me- Michel- running the business and keeping it steady with the popular mini sessions, family sessions and weddings. I became a teacher during this time and had no intentions of becoming a full time photographer, until my second daughter was born. This new season challenged my perspective on life, causing me to leave everything I have ever known and try the unknown. I am officially going full time into photography! We are keeping the name, but creating more content, and hopefully collaborate with creative vendors. Spread the word- Los Castro is no longer a side hustle- it is officially available as a full time business.


We are celebrating this news with our most recent engagement session- Chris and Rebeca. Together we ventured out to Eastern Glades park in Houston, Texas and caught the golden hour. These braves souls managed to have an engagement session during the beginning of a Texas summer. We all know this heat ‘aint no joke. These two made their session look effortless; the romance was off the charts! As you scroll through these pictures, may you be reminded that love is a commitment, an effort, a promise to one another. An engagement session is quite telling when two are in love, and these two are glowing.
