hey, i'm jes workman
i started luna bay films while attending USC film school & dreaming of making it big in the movie industry. meeting with people one on one and getting to tell their story in every way i knew how - directing, interviewing, cinematography, editing - made shooting weddings a realistic and even more rewarding dream to chase. eight years later and i've traveled the world telling real love stories of really rad people - and it feels like a new documentary every single time.
i work with my friends, i shoot real film and i spend hours in front of my computer with my cat Coco making sure that i'm putting together something that will equally make you laugh out loud and cry your eyes out. if you want your wedding film to be a little more on the artsy side and feel like your best friend put it together for you, then count me in. i can't wait to tell your story.

a few things about the person behind the camera:
my top three favorite films are Interstellar, Arrival and Before Sunrise. i love anything that's super moving with a killer score and incredible chemistry.
speaking of scores, i'm either listening to max richter on repeat, jamming out to matt corby or singing along with pop icons like ariana or demi. i used to get in trouble in school for editing my films around music instead of the other way around but i can't help it, i love it too much. nailing the music in your film is crucial to me.
if you're into astrology, i'm a virgo with a pisces moon and rising. i don't know a single thing about enneagrams or meyers-briggs so thankfully my annoying personality knowledge is limited to just one of the sub-genres. i will probably ask you when your birthday is at some point - please humor me.
i grew up in palm springs, california and definitely didn't appreciate the natural beauty until i spent a few years having to traverse the 110 and 405. i love los angeles with my whole heart and will probably/hopefully live here forever.
i'm half spanish/mexican and half british/french. i speak kindergarten level spanish and absolutely zero french. my dream wedding location would be in northern spain so i can finally check out where my family is from - and order some beers in very broken spanish.
