- Esai SalinasFounderHey there, I’m Esai, the guy behind the camera (and the team) at OneAway Studios. 👋 For me, weddings aren’t just about staged moments to capture the best shot, they’re about capturing the real stuff. The laughs that sneak up on you. The quiet glances no one else sees. The energy of the dance floor when the party kicks off. 🎶 That’s what I love most about what I do - creating films and photos that feel true to your day. 🎞️ I’ve been telling stories through video and photo for over a decade, working with couples all over Texas (and sometimes beyond). Every wedding is different, which is why my team and I take the time to get to know you, understand what matters most, and make sure your memories feel just right. When I’m not out capturing love stories, I’m leading the team here at OneAway Studios, working on other creative projects, or hanging with family and friends. But on your wedding day? I’m all in — blending into the background when needed and stepping up when it’s time to guide the shot. 📸 If you’re looking for a serious team that's ready to capture your unique story, we’d love to chat.

Melissa and team are always amazing at everything I've seen them do so it was a no brainer to hire them for our wedding. They did our photos, video, dj, and karaoke. It was liter...
ally the best money I ever spent. We didn't spend a t9n on our wedding, but you would not know that from the photos and videos we have. They made everything magical. Marriage as older adults is not always easy and whenever my husband and I get into an argument we always go back and watch that video. It always brings happy memories back to us. I definitely recommend them for any related needs!

This company is an absolute joy to work with. The unity in which they work and passion they share is incredible to see. You can tell that everyone involved cares about the outcome,...
and they are invested in bringing your story (photography/videography) to life. I also love that they are a one stop shop and provide the best of services for events as a whole. It is so much nicer working with one vendor that you can trust for multiple services rather than serval at a time. They are down to earth and just a great business overall. 10 out of 10 recommend.
