Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Based in Southern California, I strive to capture your wedding day with intent and emotion. I want your images to authentically tell the story of your wedding day and have that rush of emotions all over again. I was first introduced to the world of photography over eight years ago. Accompanying a photographer friend to help with a wedding and I was instantly hooked, all the planning, seeing all come together and witnessing all the emotions feeds my soul. Hundreds of clients later, I still get the butterflies in my stomach on a wedding day. On a wedding day, I stay in tune with both the subtle and immense feelings of the big day and know just when to press the shutter. My style is a mixture of both candid and elegant!
I’m Yesenia, a fine art wedding photographer based in Southern California, serving couples who value beauty, depth, and authenticity. With over a decade of experience, my work is rooted in connection—capturing quiet, fleeting moments and transforming them into timeless heirlooms.
My style is deeply inspired by natural light, editorial elegance, and true emotion. Whether in the vineyards of Temecula or a coastal estate, I create photographs that feel as effortless and intimate as your love story itself.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring with my husband and our three children, drawing inspiration from the joy and rhythm of everyday life.
I believe your wedding day deserves more than documentation—it deserves to be experienced again and again, through soulful, luminous imagery.

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.

We cannot say enough amazing's things about Yesenia! From start to finish, she made the entire process so seamless and stress-free. On our wedding day, she captured every moment beautifully---- from the big, emotional highlights to the small, candid details we didn't even realize were happening.
Not only are the photos breathtaking but her professionalism, warmth, and calming presence made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. It truly felt like we had a friend by our side who just happened to be in credibly talented.
We will cherish these images forever and are so grateful for the memories she preserved so perfectly. If you're looking for a photographer who is both an artist and joy to work with, look no further than Yes C Photography.

Yessenia was truly one of the absolute highlights of our entire wedding experience! From start to finish, she was a dream to work with. She captured both our engagement and wedding 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!

Yesenia was a calming energy to have as part of our day. She captured moments that were meaningful, was mindful of ensuring we got the list of specific shots I shared with her, and fully made my Pinterest board of inspiration come to life in the form of my very own wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better, kinder, warmer photographer to be a part of our day! She literally made my wedding photo dreams come true.
Thank you so much for being you and for being such an important part of our wedding day. 🤍

I cannot recommend Yesenia enough. The professionalism, the listening, the photos. Everything about our engagement photos were perfect. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for how she captured our love. She gave us a list of beautiful locations. She made sure ALL of the photos we wanted taken were taken. TURN AROUND TIME WAS AMAZING. We wish we were having our wedding in California to hire her.

Yesenia was absolutely amazing! Since our first phone call together I knew I wanted her to capture our wedding day. She captured our day even better than I had hoped! We were short on time between the ceremony and reception for photos and she got so many beautiful photos that we had wanted with our loved ones and more! I could recommend her enough! 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!

We wanted to say an enormous thank you for photographing our very special day and putting together the most perfect set of images which tell the story of our happy day.
My husband and I received our beautiful wedding album and sat last night to go through it and it really is stunning.
Thank you for putting us both at ease on the day, thank you for capturing us so naturally, it was exactly what we wanted from our album. And thank you for an album we will treasure in our hearts forever. The memory of our wonderful day is now stored in a beautiful album…. THANK YOU!! You’re fantastic!!

Yesenia and her assistant did a great job and produced such amazing photos! They were both so kind, patient, and flexible on our chaotic day and helped guide us on our poses that we both ended up looking amazing! We also did our engagement photos with her and those came out exactly to our theme that we were looking for. Definitely would recommend using her services and I will definitely contact her again hopefully in the near future for maternity shoots! :D

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!

Professional and warm photographer! Yesenia was understanding and helpful in rescheduling my wedding several times due to deployments and COVID-19 interruptions.
Yesenia captured the wedding day beautifully. She kept the wedding party moving through poses to ensure a punctual flow to the reception.
During the reception, she moved quickly to ensure all special moments were captured. I would definitely refer her to any loved ones who have special moments that require capturing.

Yesenia is the best!! She was the photographer for my best friend's wedding where I was a bridesmaid and I knew I had to hire her for mine. She was so kind and patient the whole way through and answered every question I had throughout the process. I highly recommend her!

Yesenia is such a rare gem. She is always on time and punctual to shoots and keeps to her word on deadlines. After about 5 seconds of meeting her she puts you at ease and makes any 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 is amazing. Her communication, talent, kindness and attention to detail go beyond everything I could hope for in a photographer. I’ve had photos done by Yesenia about 5 times. Every single time she has gone above and beyond my expectations. Her versatility from shoot to shoot amazes me. I absolutely fell in love with her style of photography and she’ll forever be my number one choice.
This woman stayed up till 5am!!! Just to capture photos of my husband coming home from deployment and got me a sneak peek the next day!!!
She works hard for every single event and puts her heart and soul into it. You can tell!! I’ve never met someone with such a beautiful passion who puts your imagination into your reality!
Yesenia with always be my number one choice when it comes to photography. She has photographed my life the for passed almost 4 years now. I’ve never once felt like I wasn’t a priority as a client. You rock, Yesenia!!!!

Yessenia is amazing! She’s been taking out pictures since we got engaged! She was great to work with them so we knew moving forward to have her do our wedding pictures was the perfect choice! Yesenia was professional and outdid herself! She was a great support and helped calm my nerves when we got some rain that day! Her positive attitude attitude and friendliness with everyone was amazing that day! She even recently did our first family pictures with our first baby! I recommend Yessenia to anyone who asks me about photographers!

Yesenia was punctual the day of our wedding! She was super easy to work with from beginning to end- from our initial meeting to when she delivered our final pictures! Especially, my husband really likes her calmness and flexibility for the day of the wedding. The day of, she was on time and made sure we all felt comfortable, including our wedding party. She made sure she was available for capturing all the right moments!
After the wedding, she had our sneak peak available super quick and delivered the rest way faster than we thought. Yesenia took our photos for our engagement (which she had clothing for me to borrow and am so glad I decided to use her dress for half the shoot), our wedding day, and we will be using her in the future and highly recommend!

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!

There is not enough room to explain how beyond glad I am to have had Yesenia as our photographer. My husband and I are both pretty shy and rarely take photos so we were very nervous about having someone else do it for us. During our engagement session / wedding day Yesenia was there to help. She guided us every step of the way to capture the best pictures. 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.
Contact her if the best Is what your looking for .

I loved working with Yesenia. She was great at giving directions and was phenomenal when it came to capturing the most beautiful photographs. My husband and I could not be happier with how our wedding photos turned out.
Yesenia listened to our wants and needs. She was there to answer any questions we had before our wedding. 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!

Yesenia has become our household photographer! She did our engagement shoot and wedding and OMG she was fantastic! She gets better each time we see her! She takes control of the shoot guiding me and husband through poses even if you feel awkward! The pictures turned out fantastic and her editing style to literally to die for! Wouldn’t have anyone but Yesenia photograph my most intimate events! The one thing I regret, was not hiring her to be my makeup artist on my wedding day! We love you Yesenia! Love, Di and Marwin

We hired Yesenia for our wedding pictures and couldn't have been more thrilled with her! She was there every step of the way on our special day and got all the candid shots we LOVE! She even provided us with canvas pictures after they were done. She tended to all of our family picture needs and made sure she got everything we could've hoped for. We also hired her for our family pics and our newborn pics! She is the best!!
