Hi, my name is Liana, I'm an editorial wedding photographer, inspired by romantic, timeless, and artistic photos, and I'm the face behind the camera at Lia Rose Weddings! I have been documenting love stories for over eight years and loving every moment of it. Based in the heart of New England, little Rhode Island, I offer wedding photography services all across the region. Exploring our beautiful planet has been a source of inspiration and imagination since I was a child. My passion of traveling the world and capturing all of its wonder has only grown throughout my photography journey.

I'm a half White, half Vietnamese, Wife, Friend, world traveler, chronic illness warrior. Bachelors of Science in Digital Film-making from The Los Angeles Film School, 10 year business owner, Award winning Director, Producer, Editor, Writer, Graphic Designer, and Director of Photography in the Film Industry.

We believe that laughter is romantic. That the best stories start with memories you can't think of with out a smile and that our job is to give you those moments in vivid color. We believe in the power of a wedding album to remind you in ten years how you started this marriage journey. That a beautiful portrait can bolster your resolve on a bad day. We believe in the power of love and marriage are excited to help every couple start that journey together.

Audria's approach to photography is to create an environment with beautiful light and to give enough direction to help you feel comfortable, but not so much that you feel directed all day. A little bit of classic portraiture and a lot of "fly on the wall" artistic image creation makes for a true-to-life wedding day gallery.

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a lover of sunshine, my three bulldogs and Yorkie, traveling the world with my husband, and of course… documenting love! If you are the fun-lovin, road less traveled by, adventure seeking type of couple you are in the right place! I want nothing more than to have fun alongside you and your soulmate while capturing the wild and authentic moments of you story.

I’m a type 9. If you know what that means, we’re probably going to be best friends. If you’re clueless, don’t worry. I’d be happy to talk your ear off about personality types when you have five hours to spare. I love all things related to personality, birth order, human behavior - all that jazz. My listening and empathy skills are on point. Plus, if you get a case of wedding day jitters, I’ve got you.

I've always been passionate about the arts. This interest has shaped me and brought me to a career in photography. I believe that pictures have the unique power to tell a story that people across all languages and cultural backgrounds can understand. For over five years, I have been narrating these timeless stories with my camera and helping to create a universal language of love.

What we create here is the art of documenting the special moments of people’s lives through our eyes and lenses and sharing them in the most cinematic, unscripted way possible. Whether it be a smile while lost in the warmth of a partner’s arms or a tear rolling down a father's cheek as he leads his daughter down the aisle. We’re here to capture it all in the most comfortable and unobtrusive way.

Hi! I am Beth but you can call me Bee. I am an artist that loves true color and special moments. I have the best family, friends, and clients that I have had the privilege to do life with. My son, Theo, is the light of my life. I love animals, flowers, foods, coffee and beers. I have been photographing weddings since 2013! I realized then that photographing such a special day for people is how I could do my small part to make the world a better place. My advice to all couples: It’s important to remember, the only important thing on your wedding day is who you are marrying. Everything else is just extra.

HI! My name is Kiera Christopherson. Again, I'm so glad you're here! Photography has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Turning it into a career has become a dream come true. Having a job doing what you love is what any person wants the most. I am so thankful to have so much support from all of you.

Hey, what’s up I’m Casey! Nice to meet you. I’m a father of 2 amazing boys and 1 precious little girl, so if you can’t tell already family means everything to me! Family is also where my love for photography came into existence capturing those precious moments to look back on forever. I developed my sense of photography out of my passion for helping others. After 15 years in public safety, what better way to help others than to help them celebrate one of the biggest moments in their lives? I want to see you have a fantastic time, and I want you to look back at your pictures and feel the day was a success.

Right after graduating from CSU Sacramento in 2012 (with a BA in Photography, might I add!), I did photography as a side-hustle while working a couple of various jobs: part-time as a Summer camp counselor and full-time at a medical device company. After getting married in 2016, I moved to Modesto with my husband since he was working there at the time. Because of the move, I had to leave my jobs in the East Bay. I took this move to the Central Valley as a sign that I should do photography full-time. So, since 2017, I've been a full-time wedding photographer. We are now in beautiful Sonoma County!
