HEY, I'M Yajaira

Digital & film wedding PHOTOGRAPHER

Seeking out intentional experiences and connections

my perfect daY: 
I grab a coffee with my husband, go to a new city, and explore it all day together. What's yours?

For as long as I can remember, I've loved experiences - Interacting with people while we do something together is so meaningful. My favorite experiences look like traveling to new cities or countries, sharing a  home-cooked meal, going outdoors, or just having intentional conversation over a drink with a friend. They're rooted in being present with the people you love. As your photographer, I want you to have an experience beyond a standard photo service. Tell me what your favorite memories or activities look like, and let's center your time with me around them. I want you to have fun and do the things you love, it makes your photos so much more authentic and natural. Make new memories while I show you how special they are with your photographs.

Her photos are truly art.

she captured the essence of our love and our wedding day

 Yajaira had such a peaceful presence, and was exactly the kind of person I wanted to have present for my wedding day. Besides all that, her photos are absolutely stunning. She captured the essence of our love and our wedding day in the photos she took. She noticed so many special little moments, that so many photographers would have missed. Her photos are truly art.

Genuine and Heartwarming photos of us

Highlight what makes us, us and show it wonderfully

On the day of, Yajaira captured such beautiful moments from our wedding. She and her second photographer were both kind, warm presences at our wedding; Yajaira directed us where needed but also focused on getting all of the big and small candid moments of the day. We cannot share our appreciation enough for the incredibly gorgeous, genuine, and heartwarming photos of us and our loved ones. Yajaira has given us truly lovely memories to celebrate and look back on as we go through our married life!

She made it fun and natural

committed to capturing our uniqueness 

From our intro call together, we knew she was the perfect fit - the sweetest person who was committed to capturing our uniqueness and the authentic moments of the day. We loved working with Yajaira on our wedding day - as someone who hates being photographed, she made it fun and natural. And we are absolutely in love with the photos - just beautiful, and the authentic vibe we wanted.
