We are SO happy we chose Yesenia for our wedding and engagement photos! From start to finish, Yesenia was caring, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. You can tell Yesenia loves what she does and is passionate about it. Yesenia guided us into poses that felt natural and comfortable, while capturing beautiful candid moments. We asked for a mix of planned shots and candid photos, and they nailed the balance perfectly. Our engagement session was wonderful, and the wedding photos are absolutely stunning. Yesenia helped us set up for great shots, kept everyone relaxed, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. We can’t recommend Yesenia and her team enough.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From start to finish, she was phenomenal. She truly listened to what we wanted, making sure every special moment and detail was captured beautifully. Yescenia’s attention to detail was incredible — from the little candid smiles to the big, emotional moments, nothing was missed. She was also extremely organized, which made the entire day run so smoothly and stress-free. The final photos are stunning and perfectly reflect the joy and love we felt. We’ll treasure them forever!

Hi! I'm Yesenia! For the past eight years, I’ve had the honor of documenting love stories across Southern California from intimate celebrations to grand, elegant weddings. What I’ve learned is this: the most meaningful photographs aren’t just beautiful — they’re emotional. They hold the quiet in-between moments. The steady hand squeezes. The deep breaths before walking down the aisle. The way your family looks at you when you’re not even aware. My approach blends refined direction with natural, honest storytelling. I’ll guide you when needed so you feel confident and comfortable, but I’m always watching for the real moments unfolding organically. The result? Images that feel timeless, elevated, and deeply personal. With eight years of experience behind the camera, I bring a calm, steady presence to your day. Weddings move quickly, emotions run high and you deserve someone who can anticipate moments before they happen while keeping everything seamless and stress free. Based in Southern California and available for destination celebrations, I specialize in romantic, modern weddings with a timeless edge. Your wedding day passes in a blur. The photographs are what remain and I’m here to make sure they feel just as powerful decades from now.

day with such stunning beauty and artistry. We originally fell in love with her photography style through her Instagram—and in person, she completely delivered. During the shoots, she was incredibly professional, super friendly, and made us feel so at ease, which was huge since these were our first-ever professional photos together! She came thoroughly prepared, knew all the best local spots, and even timed everything perfectly based on the season and lighting. Her direction was clear and thoughtful, and it honestly felt like we were just hanging out with a really talented friend. And the photos—WOW. Every single one was jaw-droppingly beautiful. We originally told ourselves we’d narrow it down to just 10 favorites to post…but we ended up loving over 200. That’s literally the only reason we haven’t posted anything yet—we just can’t choose! We’re so grateful we found her and can’t recommend her enough!

your engagement session and your wedding day. Hearing that you felt comfortable especially since they were your first professional photos together, makes me so happy. That’s always what I want for it to feel easy and natural, not stiff or awkward. Your day was incredible, and capturing those big emotional moments along with the little in-between ones is exactly why I love what I do. And the fact that you loved over 200 images! That’s the best thing I could hear. I’m just so grateful you found me and let me be part of such a special season in your lives. Truly. Hope to see each other again soon! -Yesenia

She also sent us a lot of sneak peeks just a couple days after our wedding so we could share them while we were still in cloud 9 after the wedding was over. Our whole gallery was delivered on time as she promised too. We will treasure these photos forever! Yesenia and her team are incredible!

Yesenia was such an amazing photographer. My husband and I originally hired her for our wedding in 2020. However, our venue had to be postponed due to the pandemic. She worked with...

me by creating a special package to capture our small intimate wedding in 2020 and also was able to capture our bigger venue wedding the year after in 2021. She showed up early to look around for the best spots to take her photographers and ensured we had plenty of photographs with family. The photos came out beautiful and when I explained to her we did not need the free engagement photo shoot because we already had done some, she offered a free wedding album. The wedding album was so beautiful. She was very professional and worked effortlessly with the videographer we had for the venue wedding. I would highly recommend booking her for your wedding!!

Her work is UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING. My husband and I worked with Yesenia for our engagement photos and wedding photos. I am very self conscious when it comes to me being in pictures ...

but every single picture she took just made me feel beautiful! We will definitely be hiring her for any future events. We go through our wedding photos every chance we get and fall in love every time. HIRE HER! Don’t think twice about it and just do it. You won’t be disappointed!

My wife and I found Yesenia for our very short notice wedding in July. It was a long shot as our wedding was only 3 weeks away when we contacted her but everything ended up working...

out perfectly. She was very consistent in touching base for planning purposes which I appreciated a lot as we were juggling so much in such a short time. I got to work with Lupe who was and assistant photographer who Yesenia had experience working with and she was so so lovely. We received our sneek peek shortly after the wedding date and so far the pictures all look so spectacular! Lupe was able to capturea some really beautiful moments and Yesenia was able to recommend a location that was a hidden gem. Truly a pleasure to work with this team!

type of photo shoot fun, not stressful. She had my husband and I laughing the entire time. She did our two engagement shoots, my boudoir shoot, and our wedding. The photos just kept getting better and better each time. They all came out natural, not staged, capturing our real love. Over the past year she has gone from our photographer to someone we call a friend. I cannot wait for her to shoot more life events for us. You’re truly in good hands. She’s not only an amazing photographer, but an all around great human.

Yesenia has been AMAZING to work with over the course of mine and my husbands engagement and wedding. I was drawn to her photos right away and got a great referral by someone she’s...

worked with before, so I had to reach out. It started with instantly clicking at first conversation and consultation, to our engagement shoot being that of a dream, then to our wedding, which completely surpassed our expectations. Not only is her work exactly our style and flawless, but Yesenia made my husband and I feel so comfortable during all of our shoots. We came into it complete dummies on photography posing and such, and she guided us through every step of it. Our wedding went so smoothly because of her preparations and day of direction. Our bridal party and family thought she was perfect also. We are mostly a laid back couple, but had so many personalities apart of our wedding, she fit right in with the vibe and knew how to handle anything. Yesenia is so talented at her craft AND just such a great person, I can’t recommend her enough!

Due to COVID-19, I was without a planner, ceremony/reception location , and much more so I am beyond grateful Yesenia also went above and beyond with giving me advice for the wedding day schedule. My husband and I have definitely decided she will be taking all of our pictures in the future because not only is she great but her work is AMAZING.

She also provided updates on when we would receive our photos and the gorgeous photo album we ordered. Both my husband and I look forward to working with Yesenia in the future!
