Hi, I'm Shanice (Xai)

I'm a Puerto Rico-born, San Francisco-based wedding photographer, and for the past eight years I've been capturing love stories across the entire Bay Area from the redwood ceremonies of Marin to vineyard celebrations in Sonoma, rooftop receptions in Oakland, and golden-hour elopements along the California coast & all over Puerto Rico with my team.

My approach is Documentary with an Editorial flair. I'm mostly a fly on the wall letting your day unfold naturally while I catch the moments you'll want to relive forever. The flower girl sneaking cake. Your grandmother wiping a tear. The wild dance floor moment when everyone stopped caring how they looked and just felt joy.

When direction adds something, whether during portraits or golden hour, I step in gently.
