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.

feels like reliving the day exactly as it happened.

she genuinely cares about her couples 

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Yajaira. From the very beginning, she brought such a calm, kind, and genuine presence to our wedding day. She has an incredible ability to make you feel completely comfortable and confident in front of the camera—even if that doesn’t come naturally to you. Nothing ever felt forced or awkward; she guided us just enough while still letting everything feel natural and true to who we are.

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!

The Best photographer you could ask for

I felt so comfortable and heard from the beginning

You don’t always get lucky enough to work with someone whose talent matches their professionalism. My pictures came back timely and absolutely STUNNING. She captured so many aspects of the wedding, not just the bride and groom but all of the details, guests, small moments, and overall vibe. She could absolutely shoot for the moon with her work, I feel so grateful to have met her and worked with her (especially before she’s photographing Taylor Swift level weddings lol) Could not recommend her enough!
