The birth of our existence

The Pionering

of the American West

The romantics, the rebels, the wild hearts, the creatives, the adventure seekers, the outlaws, the pioneers — each given a true rebirth when put into the desert. There are not many places around the world that provide this wild yet unique feeling of freedom, in all the senses of the word. Not many places can leave a person feeling so vast, so full, so inspired, so creative, so in love, so themselves, and so wild all at once.

The American West represents this exact reinvention of the soul, with Suroeste following suit. We exist to replicate the feeling of being immersed in the desert, to bring people to this sense of wild creativity and then document the process. We exist to capture passionate love stories in a way that feels and looks exhilarating and to bring something to life, whether that be moments from a wedding, a couple’s love, or a feeling in the soul.

 

 
 

BEHIND THE STUDIO

THE COLLECTIVE

A creative house built on trust, artistry, and intention.

Suroeste is not a single photographer — it’s a creative house.

Built on storytelling, artistry, and deep respect for the moments that matter, our work is brought to life by a trusted collective of photographers and filmmakers who share the same editorial eye, emotional intuition, and reverence for your story.

Every creative within Suroeste is hand-selected, trained, and aligned under one vision — ensuring that no matter who is behind the camera, the experience and artistry remain unmistakably Suroeste.

 

 

 

BEHIND THE BRAND

THE FOUNDER

A child of the desert, a rebellious lover, and a creative entrepreneur.

Frankie Gomez founded Suroeste with the belief that wedding photography should feel more like art than documentation.

As Creative Director, Frankie shapes the vision behind every wedding — from how moments are captured to how stories are edited and delivered. He works closely with the Suroeste collective, guiding each project to ensure it reflects the emotion, tone, and cinematic quality the brand is known for.

While you may not always see Frankie behind the camera, his vision is present in every frame.

REVIEWS

Frankie is an absolute joy to work with! He and I collaborated on both the engagement and wedding shoots, but his vision brought to life what I could have only imagined. He made it so effortless for my husband and I. We were put at ease by his professionalism, knowledge, expertise and experience, but on top of that, it was a blast! He made both shoots so fun and interactive, which really translated to the photos. I can't wait to have some other reason to do another photo shoot with him. Thank you Frankie for everything! I felt like a queen, as I've told you multiple times!

Throughout the entire process, Frankie was so great to work with. Not only is he the most easy going person to be around, but he works hard to get to know you and your partner. He worked with my husband and I on everything that we wanted captured on our wedding day.. and it was even better than I had imagined. His photos captured our relationship and our intimate day so perfectly. We can't wait to look back at these photos 50 years from now and feel how we felt in that moment. Thank you, Frankie, for giving us something so beautiful to remember the best day of our lives.

Frankie is a true artist who can create & capture the mood and moment so perfectly that you can actually feel his photos ! His heart is big and warm and comes shining through to let you know that he loves his art and his work. We are so very grateful to have had him with us on our journey and words cannot possibly express the emotions we had when viewing our beautifully presented gallery yesterday. We love you Frankie & team Brandon !

I have been following Frankie Gomez Photography on social media outlets for quite some time. I have always admired his work and have always wanted to work along side him. I had the great privilege of working with him in November 2021. He absolutely blew my expectations of himself out of the water. He is so artistic and brilliant in everything he touches! His execution and editing are always on point and on trend.

He was SO friendly and kind. He was extremely generous and always very communicative with our team. We worked really well together. I hope to be able to work with Frankie again in the near future.

Cheers to FRANKIE! You ROCK, you are such a bright light in this industry!

Frankie is not only a mega talented photographer, he's also creative, super easy to work with, and has a big heart! He gives great direction to his couples and instantly makes every person feel comfortable in front of the camera. Highly recommend!
