Growing up in Las Vegas, I was surrounded by entertainers and wildly creative people, so that “creative itch” was always there. I just didn’t chase it until 2018 when I was 19. I fell down a YouTube photography rabbit hole and got hooked instantly. Two months later, I bought my first camera and it turned into a full-blown obsession.

After a few years of experimenting with different styles, I found my true calling: love. I’m a proud hopeless romantic, and nothing hits harder than capturing two people choosing each other.

I’m married to my best friend, Heidi, and together we have four dogs that make our house feel like home. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me serving in the United States Air Force. The discipline the military’s given me has shaped how I run my business, how I show up for my couples, and how I deliver every time.

Hi, I'm JALEN

you bring the love, i'll bring the vision

The Road to
Moore Focus Photography

2019
Photography was a fun hobby, where I captured everything from friends and family to landscapes and plants, experimenting with all kinds of styles and subjects along the way.

2020
Honed my photography skills during the pandemic while balancing work at a hospital, finding creative ways to capture moments even in challenging times.

2021
Started taking on occasional clients, mostly family photos, while experimenting to find a style that truly resonated with me.

2022
Fell in love with photographing couples and shot my first wedding, marking the beginning of my journey into wedding photography.

2023
Made the decision to brand myself as a wedding and elopement photographer, focusing on capturing love stories, and officially launched Moore Focus Photography LLC.

2024
Photographed more elopements and weddings than I could have ever dreamed, connecting with countless beautiful couples along the way.

2025
A year of growth where I refined my craft, expanded creatively, and continued learning how to tell love stories with even more intention and heart.

2026

Still here, still capturing love stories, and ready to photograph every beautiful moment that makes your story uniquely yours.

INQUIRE NOW!

They are the adventurers. The ones who are not afraid to do things differently. The wildly in love kind of couples who know their day is about them and no one else. Maybe it is a Jeep ride out to the desert for your vows. Maybe it is a dance floor that never slows down. Either way, you are doing it your way. If you care more about real moments than perfect poses, more about belly laughs than stiff smiles, and more about connection than tradition, we are going to get along just fine.
