Hi, I’m Jesse Nye.

I began my event industry journey in 2017 DJing weddings and private events. With 100 DJ’d events under my belt, my passion for people, planning and event management grew. For the next few years, I worked in several different areas of the event industry, where I refined my skills and later developed a love for photography and videography.

Create & Capture is a culmination of all these avenues of the industry, including; DJing, media production, rental sales, venue management, and event planning. Through the partnership with Natalie Sanchez Media, we wanted to offer our clients the unique experience of involving the photographer and videographer in the planning process. This workflow ensures every moment is captured seamlessly.

Natalie Sanchez - Multimedia Creative Director

Hi, I’m Natalie Sanchez.

I’ve been passionate about documenting and capturing life ever since I can remember. When I picked up my first camera at nine years old, a hobby quickly blossomed into lifelong dreams to build my own business. As I grew older and expanded my repertoire through various contract work, I discovered how much I loved helping people bring their vision to life through the lens. A storyteller at heart, (check out my books The Language of Loss & Becoming Human), the camera became an invigorating medium to tell not just my own stories, but those of small businesses, families, couples, and artists of every form. In many ways, photography and film have given me the gift of giving a priceless gift to my clients: tangible memories.

The sudden loss of my father in 2018 heightened my need to pursue meaningful work. Grief became a driving force in the journey to build my career, as I developed a more profound understanding of my craft. Photography and videography were more than a monetary exchange for my services - they were an invaluable art form, curated to reflect the authentic lives, moments, and milestones of my clients.

The most rewarding part of my business is helping others see the artistry of their own life. With my documentary-style approach, I prioritize authenticity, connection, and timeless aesthetics, to gift my clients with a final product that captures the memories as they were lived. I am committed to helping you tell your story. Whether you need to capture the grandiosity of a major milestone, the intricacies of your special day, or your family’s personality, I see beauty and depth in each client’s experience, and I’m here to give you a precious gift you will have for the rest of your life.
