C. K. Cruz Photography

Welcome. My name is Charles Kenneth Cruz and I’m a photographer. I grew up in the Los Angeles area. Prior military service brought me and kept me in San Diego, and I absolutely fell in love. I was gifted a camera back in high school and my thirst to understand photography has been forever growing. One day, I decided to tag along and help shoot a wedding for a friend one weekend. I'm standing near the alter, camera in hand, waiting for the bride to walk down the aisle. The guests all stand up and there she was, walking down the aisle crying the most joyful tears as she manages to continually look radiant in her beautiful wedding dress.

I look over my shoulder and witness the groom, face-in-hand, crying an equal amount of joyful tears. There, I witnessed true love and had the opportunity to capture those moments. It was then, I realized that I fell in love with those moments and captured them.
