Recognized as being amongst the top in her field, couples value her acute listening and organization skills, and her ability to interpret their dreams into an actionable plan.

Born in the Philippines, Lozano grew up with a loving, supportive family encouraging her creativity and natural talent. Lozano went on to study at the prestigious De La Salle University Manila, where she received a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science as well as an MBA.

Here, she studied at the nationally respected commercial photography program at Santa Monica College, and since then has built a name and reputation within this exciting field.
Lozano feels fortunate to work for an elite group of clients, event planners and agents, booking local and international assignments and weddings throughout the year. She is regularly featured in noteworthy publications, including Ceremony magazine, California Wedding Day, and Grace Ormonde Wedding Style. She is currently providing all the photography for famed floral designer, Eddie Zaratsian’s book monogram, Botanicals, which is due out later this year.
