Capturing Colorful & Candid Moments That Keep Joy Centerstage
Authentic Photo & Film for the Madly-in-Love
College Station | Bryan | Brenham | Montgomery | Austin
We’re Miguel and Maryann Salazar, your warm and inviting, down-to-earth photo and film power couple. (Your very own Jay-Z and Beyoncé.)
And rather than using this space to highlight our countless combined years of experience or our palpable passion for our craft, we want to take a slightly different approach.
We know those things might help your decision, but we know there are more meaningful reasons you’ll want to choose San Angel Photo & Film over the next wedding photographer or videographer.
Welcome to San Angel Photo & Film!
• Timeless images with that natural and balanced yet effortlessly elegant editing style you adore.
• A wide array of classic group shots combined with candid captures that tell the true story of your wedding day (breakdancing nephew and champagne-sipping Abuela included!).
• A team of personable and calm professionals you can trust to make you and your guests feel comfortable and at ease in front of a camera.
• The kind of people you’ll want to have by your side leading up to (and on) your big day, supporting and cheering you on through it all.
• A seamless experience that makes your planning process and day-of much less overwhelming. (We’re talking timeline development, planning meetings, and mental health check-ins.)
• Clear communication with a team who has their you-know-what together.
We know what you’re really after when searching for a wedding photographer.

“El amor no conoce el final. Es que todos sabemos querer, pero pocos sabemos amar.”
“Love knows no ending. It's just that we all know how to want, but few of us know how to love.”
- José José, Amar Y Querer
They captured everything we could have ever hoped for. Going down the aisle I actually couldn’t see anything so seeing my husband’s expression change in real-time [in the film] was amazing. These videos touch every part of my heart. I knew they would do an amazing job, and I was so thrilled to have them as part of our day. Leading up to the wedding, Maryann took the time to check in on me and see how I was doing and if I needed help or encouragement or anything at all. Thank you doesn’t even seem adequate.

Many of our guests have complimented the photography and the way our photographers captured the joy of the day. We had a wedding party of 18 people (my husband and I come from large families), a million different lighting scenarios, and a pretty tight sequence of events. But all the pictures looked great, the poses for the large wedding party were perfect, and they were such a calming voice throughout the day. In summary, their quality is great, their communication rocks, and our photos are the envy of all.

They turned out perfect and we are so happy with them. We are impressed with how well Maryann and Miguel captured all the pops of color in our wedding photos. They truly captured the love and joy of us and our family members throughout our wedding day and we will be able to remember and cherish these moments forever through the photos we have. A big thank you to the two of you for making our dreams come true!

"Maryann and Miguel did a PHENOMENAL job with our wedding photos, and my husband and I are thrilled!"

The Values That Drive Us
You’ve probably heard people say wedding planning is stressful and challenging, but that’s because they never had support like us in their life. With Maryann’s crack-up-till-you-cry witty character and Miguel’s I-got-your-back attitude, we’ll help take the weight off your shoulders so you can get back to what matters most: celebrating your love with your favorite people.
01. Enthusiasm
The Values That Drive Us
Though you and your partner are the stars of the show, we know that weddings aren't just two people coming together but two families coming together. We make it a priority to form authentic connections with our couples' families, making every person feel special. (Did we mention we're bilingual, too?) Count on us to capture special moments you can relive for years to come!
02. Personal Connections
The Values That Drive Us
We’re not just photographers & videographers, we’re creative souls. So you can count on us to keep the ideas flowing! We make an effort to show our friendly and fun personalities through it all so everyone can let loose, be present, and enjoy the celebration — allowing us to capture candid moments.
03. Creativity
The Values That Drive Us
Even when we get placed in challenging situations, we maintain our composure and don't let personal feelings get in the way. We're no strangers to the stress that can come along with weddings, but in the end, our passion and enthusiasm for capturing the most important day of our couples' lives outweigh any obstacles we may run into.
04. Professionalism

Today
Miguel proposed to Maryann
2018
Our wedding!
2019
Miguel started assisting a wedding photographer in college, and after graduating, he liked it so much that he decided to pursue wedding photography as a career. With the little savings we had, Miguel convinced Maryann to buy a camera, and we learned all our tricks by posing each other and taking photos. We graduated to taking photos for friends and families, and now, we share our love for photography with our couples!
We fell in love with being part of a couples’ most special day, and the thrill of capturing the real-life, authentic moments of all their loved ones. And as a bilingual husband and wife powerhouse team, we love working with both English and Spanish speaking families! Our name pays homage to our cultural roots.
To us, it’s not just about beautiful portraits and videos — it’s about capturing all the in-between moments including the tears, laughter, and quirkiness. That’s what a good story is all about.
