America went above and beyond for our civil ceremony and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She arrived early to scope out locations, had a list of different shots she wanted to take, and spent extra time with us. She made us feel super comfortable and captured our day beautifully. We wanted a more candid feel to our photos and America helped us to stay natural while still keeping a professional feel. Our sneak peak photos were ready the very same day!
We are so happy that we booked with Hearth and Haven Photography and couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our special moments!!!

Absolutely obsessed with America’s skills and our wedding photos! Every shot feels dreamy and magical — the lighting was perfection, the angles were so creative, and the couple poses felt natural and romantic. You captured every moment so beautifully and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We’ll treasure these photos forever!

About this vendor
America Arevalo
PHOTOGRAPHER
Hearth and Haven Photography is a Northern California wedding photographer based in Vallejo, CA, capturing love stories as they gently unfold. I focus on the fleeting, beautiful moments—the quiet glances, soft laughter, and happy tears that often pass by in a blink.
My approach is blending candid, documentary-style imagery with subtle guidance so you can stay present and connected. From intimate elopements to joyful celebrations across Napa Valley, San Francisco, Oakland, Marin County, San Jose, Santa Cruz and beyond, I’m here to make the experience feel calm, easy, and meaningful.
If you’re drawn to honest emotion, intentional moments, and a photography experience that feels light and heartfelt, I’d be honored to tell your story.
I specialize in elopements, events, and lifestyle portraits. I focus on creating a relaxed, personalized experience that allows clients to feel comfortable and fully present, resulting in images that feel natural, meaningful, and true to them. With a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and over 11 years of experience across the food, hospitality, and tech industries, I bring a people-first, service-driven approach to every session. My goal is to build genuine connections and thoughtfully document moments that celebrate love, connection, and real life—just as it unfolds.
