My name is Angelou (pronounced Angelo), named after the famous poet Maya Angelou. As a proud husband and father of two boys, I am a professional photographer and videographer with six years of experience servicing Las Vegas & SoCal. I am also open to destination weddings and events anywhere you need.
I specialize in wedding and elopement filmmaking, portrait, wedding, headshot, boudoir, editorial photography, corporate photography and videography, business and brand videos, music videos, social media management, and marketing & advertising. I shoot all events with the goal of making each shoot as creatively unique as possible, using unique elements such as music choice and vintage lenses to add character to each project.
My wife coined the phrase "The Lou Effect" to describe my creative style. Before each shoot, she encourages me to "show them the Lou Effect," which has become the name of my business. I strive to always leave my clients with smiles on their faces and satisfaction in their hearts so that they can have lasting memories of their special day. Creating valuable experiences and providing quality content is my passion, and I am dedicated to ensuring that each client is satisfied with my services.

Lou exceeded our expectations! Despite unforeseen traffic causing a delay, he compensated by producing numerous fantastic photos. We are incredibly grateful that he accompanied us to two different locations for the shoot and stayed extended hours to help us coordinate with the venue for optimal shots. Additionally, he provided quick editing and his services were an excellent value. Thank you Lou for capturing our unique elopement in such a marvelous way!

Angelou was an exceptional and highly skilled professional! The photographs captured are beyond impeccable! Engaging Angelou as our wedding photographer was certainly the right decision!
I am eagerly anticipating the viewing of the pictures and videos, which I am confident will be stunning. Your professionalism has been greatly appreciated, and I would highly recommend you as a photographer to anyone seeking one. You were prompt and captured countless shots, even taking us to a picturesque waterside location after the wedding. It is clear that you are dedicated to your craft, evidenced by the effort you took to secure such a memorable spot for our pictures. I will surely refer you to my acquaintances requiring a photographer or videographer. Thank you once again!

We are immensely grateful to Angelou for his superb work at our wedding! In October 2022, my spouse and I tied the knot, and working with Angelou was an absolute delight! His videography skills and creative direction are unparalleled! We strongly endorse his craftsmanship and dexterity to fade into the background while still capturing all the stunning moments of our nuptials. Moreover, his pricing is quite fair, and his passion for his craft is evident. Once again, thank you! We consider ourselves fortunate to have had you at our wedding :)
