Meet Your Photographer

Hello, my name is

Akesa Mar

I am a true-to-tone, documentary-style photographer with a more candid approach to capturing real-life moments, people, and events as they naturally unfold, often with minimal interference or posed shots unless direction is wanted/needed. I try to keep it as natural as possible, where the goal is to reflect genuine interactions, emotions, and environments.


I live in El Paso, Texas (2026), specifically on Fort Bliss. I love capturing people's success, their love, and their happiness. My photography genres include proposals, couples, weddings, and elopements. My goal for the future is to pursue an aviation career, while simultaneously continuing to do photography on the side.


As a photographer, I believe in the photography community over competition; there's a market for everyone. During my time in Japan, I was able to help beginner photographers build their portfolio by creating mini style shoots. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!



My goals as a photographer

Shoot film at either an elopement or an engagement

Create more highlight session reels

Build a content creator portfolio
