About This Vendor

Creating images that become more valuable.

Hi! I’m Vicki, I've been a photographer and business owner in Calaveras County since 1999. Dedicated to capturing the wedding day you deserve. You deserve … ..to be comfortable ..to look and feel your best ..to have the wedding of your dreams. After 20+ years experience and hundreds of weddings, I can deliver exactly what you deserve. There’s no challenge you can throw at me that I haven’t seen before. “But what if….” “I don’t like how my (fill-in-the-blank-body-part) looks in pictures.” I got you! I’ve perfected the art of posing women to highlight their best features. You’ll feel like J.Lo walking the red carpet! “My fiance hates posing for pictures.” No problem—I’m a boy mom! I know exactly how to convert a reluctant groom into a runway model. And as for his friends, well, I’ve had plenty of practice wrangling groomsmen of all ages. “We have sensitive family relationships and I’m worried everyone won’t get along.” This is where I shine! Rest assured, before the wedding—together—we will create a detailed plan for your special day. Relax and enjoy as I handle any issues and keep everyone smiling. Here’s what my happy clients have to say. Vicki is very easy to work with. Very Professional and an amazing person. I highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond. Thank you Vicki! - Cari S. Vicki did a really great job with our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She was very flexible and she has the best bank for your buck in the Sacramento area. Even when things didn’t go as planned on our big day, she helped us through it, and made sure everything turned out how we wanted. - Haily We had such a great time working with Vicki. My husband and I weren’t comfortable in front of the camera but she knows all the tricks to put you at ease and make your photos phenomenal. She did our engagement photos, a venue walkthrough, a full day at the wedding, and an album. She also recommended the most beautiful location for our engagement photos. Not only is she talented but she’s fun to work with and has a great personality. - Danielle Ready to schedule a call? Let’s Connect @ darlingphoto209@gmail.com

e was so easy to contact and work with. For both our engagement and wedding day, she guided us and our guests for the different photos. We had a lot of fun with her. Our package also included a wedding album. We chose the photos and Vicki put it together with our input. In the end, the album was more beautiful than we imagined. We are so happy we hired Vicki.
