Wedding Photography - LucieXYZ Music for your Eyes...

Welcome to LucieXYZ online photography studio.

So you want to know more about us? The pictures aren't enough? Of course not, there is always more to know. Well let us tell you a little bit more about your soon to be wedding (and children) photographers.

We are Lucie and Sam Silveira and have been married since 2003 and loving life together every day. We live happily together in our little nook of the world in the Rose Garden area of San Jose. Together we started the photography business to set free Lucie's artistic eye and passion for wedding and children photography. The name LucieXYZ originates of course from Lucie's name who is the magic behind the photography you see. The slogan, "Music for your eyes", is how Lucie wants the photos to sing to you when you view them.

When we started designing the path for LucieXYZ Photography, it was important for us to design the business in a way that if we were to get married again, it would be what we would want. Being married, we already work well together and have been dubbed a "Great Team" by our clients and friends. Since we will be following you throughout your entire wedding day, it is important that you not only like our photos, but us as well.

Because this is our love and passion, we tend to take work home with us, but we don't have a problem with it. We love what we do. How many jobs can you say are like that? We enjoy traveling the world together and we will travel wherever you have your special day to capture all those little moments that make your big day a special one.

So come meet us at our studio and get to know us more. We look forward to spending some time with you.

Hi, I'm Lucie.
I began life in the Czech Republic and grew up with the ambition to travel and take photos of everything around me. I lived in Scotland for a couple of years and also traveled all over Europe. Traveling and seeing new things is almost like an obsession for me. After my stint in Europe, I then came over to the USA to take care of little children as an Au Pair. At the same time I decided to study photography because I enjoyed it so much on a personal level. I soon graduated from the "New York Institute of Photography" majoring in Professional Photography. I also studied digital photography at DeAnza College in Cupertino, California which furthered my skills with the camera.

Amidst this busy life schedule, I met and married the best person in the world who now travels with me on my journeys. Together we started this site in order to transform my passions into my daily bread and butter.

Hi, I'm Sam.
I was born here in California and have lived here all my life. I enjoy traveling the roads less traveled and even those that don't exist. I grew up appreciating the outdoor life with camping and exploring the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains. I designed and built my own off-road vehicle to take me back into the deep trails where I could enjoy sights and sounds of those areas rarely seen.

Like Lucie, I also studied photography at De Anza College, but back before today's standard digital photography existed. I switched to digital photography early on in the digital revolution though using it to quickly display my photos on my website. This became my little nitch in the off-road world as I traveled the States photographing and writing for professional rock crawling events and doing live web coverage for leading industry websites. Because I love having Lucie with me at all times, she started to join me on these adventures taking the photographs while I concentrated on the story telling.
