  • Serves Mad River, CA

In 2020, I took a leap and left my 9-to-5 job to pursue my passion for photography full-time. Now, as a dedicated wedding and lifestyle photographer, I’m thrilled to capture the special moments that mean the most to you. I take pride in delivering high-quality photos and genuinely enjoy being part of your big day. Based in Aptos, I also serve the surrounding areas of the Monterey Bay region, and I’m always ready to travel wherever your love story takes us!

Awarded Best of Zola
Deanna was truly the most amazing photographer for our wedding! Neither my husband nor I had ever taken professional photos before, and to be honest, we’re both pretty awkward and camera-shy. But from the moment we booked her, she made the whole experience feel effortless. She even offered an engagement session, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. By the end of it, we were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out—far beyond what we had imagined! On the wedding day, Deanna was more than just a photographer; she was a calming presence amidst all the excitement and nerves. Her ability to guide us through poses felt so natural—never forced or uncomfortable. She has such an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments, and the photos reflect that in every frame. Deanna didn’t just document our wedding; she became a friend along the way. I can’t express how much we appreciate her talent, kindness, and professionalism. We’re already looking forward to working with her again for future milestones and photo sessions. Thank you, Deanna, for capturing our special day so perfectly—we couldn’t have asked for more!

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully. Every silly moment, tender exchange and happy tear was published in our gallery — and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU Ashley & Meredith, our wedding day was all the more special with your talent!

Oregon Coast based. I love creating a full experience for my couples, and really developing a friendship so we can make your day truly you! Yes, I’ll be dancing at your wedding. I started my business after an incredibly hard personal loss because photos became a huge part of my grief journey. I love capturing the raw and real moments, the ones you look back on and wish you could have forever. Photos are timeless and I love creating small forever moments in time. I care deeply for my clients! If you’re ready to get barefoot, maybe a little messy and live in the moment I’m the photographer for you!

I can't express enough how happy we were to have Renee. She just so happened to be in town the weekend of our wedding so we didn't even have to pay a travel fee which she never had to do! She was a breath of fresh air in actually feeling like she was appreciative to be our photographer. After a long period of planning I was starting to feel like vendors were acting like they could care less to be selected and Renee was COMPLETELY the opposite. She sent us the sweetest personal touches and dug through all her photos to show me examples of photos that really mattered to me. I wanted more candid photos and she did not disappoint. Even when going through a lot in her personal life, she was there 100% on our day which was so amazing and I will have these photos forever to always remind me of our special day. We tried doing some phots before the ceremony and everyone wanted to come say hi or congratulations and Renee was amazing at being my personal bodyguard and keeping people at bay. She is the best!!

My mission is to work hard to deliver quality images and give my clients a comfortable, enjoyable experience full of smiles and laughter from the initial contact through the session and even after the final product is delivered.

Jess was beyond amazing and made our day so special. It was incredible how beautiful our pictures turned out and she captured everything I could have ever imagined and beyond. It was actually quite impressive looking through the wedding album after we received it because Jess seemed like she was everywhere all of the time. She captured every moment sometimes with different angles and I am so grateful to be able to relive our wedding day while looking through the photos. I thought I would regret not having a videographer but Jess truly captured everything from start to finish and that the day just comes back to life when I look through all of the photos. As she captured our wedding day she was soooo very patient with my husband and I, our family, and all our friends. Everyone spoke so highly of her after our wedding and really appreciated having a relaxed, caring, funny, kind, and professional photographer. She also helped me while getting ready and truly made it so I could fully enjoy my wedding. I also asked her to shoot my graduation photos and lets just say I don't think I will ever inquire for a different photographer. I am looking forward to continuing to have her capture precious moments in my life for as long as she continues photography. Thank you for being more than I could have ever hoped for and capturing some of the most memorable days in my life and making them so extremely special. You are the best Jess!!! 3

I had the pleasure of having Danielle photograph my wedding last October. She has done my family’s photos for many years now, and she never disappoints. I knew that they would be amazing, however, she completely took my breath away. Not only is she such a pleasant human being to be around, she makes you feel so comfortable while taking pictures. She puts so much effort and love into her work and it shows every time. She captured so many amazing moments on our special day and I couldn’t be more happy with our pictures that we can now cherish for a life time. She is extremely professional and always has our photos back in a timely manner. I 100% recommend her as your photographer and we are honored to have her always there, to capture our special moments.

MODERN ROMANCE DOCUMENTED EXCEPTIONALLY Named after my mother Ana Rosa, De La Rosa strives to help you slow down, be present and be yourselves on your wedding day. We believe being present on your wedding day will bring out the best in you and your partner. Giving an authentic and fun experience while having a timeless and editorial look.

Sebastian was a huge part of our wedding day and the planning process. From the moment we met him a year before our wedding day for our engagement photos, we knew we picked the right photographer for us. We fell in love with his quality of work, work ethic, and personality. He coached us with posing, and we were comfortable taking his direction. The vision he has comes to life candidly in the photos, and after three photo sessions with him, I cannot pick a favorite because they're all uniquely beautiful. Our first session was our engagement session, which I wanted to do on a boat in the Keys because it's a special place and hobby for us so I thought it would be a personal touch and photos we could cherish forever. He was all about the idea and didn't nickel and dime us, which often happens as you plan this very personal event. I prioritized finding vendors who truly love what they do and are invested in their couple, not just the event, and Sebastian is just that! I am forever grateful to my planner for connecting me to him, and I hope to work with him for many more life moments.

We are a relaxed family team with a firm belief that your photography should be the last thing to stress you about your day. We are located on the southern Oregon coast and are available to travel through out the Pacific North West. Having two photographers built into your coverage ensures we catch the moments, from the kiss, the first look and the little kids crawling under the tables having fun.

Pictures are memories. And they are the part of your wedding day that you'll have there everyday to remind you how wonderful, how special it was. When we found out it was gonna rain, crazy woman I am, I got excited. But when I told Eric that I wanted him to photograph my husband and I in the rain, Eric's eye's lit up like I kid on Christmas morning. He created our dream shot, embracing in the rain. Has has continued to create beautiful shots for us throughout the years since. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

Hiiii, I’m Taylor! Wife to my best friend, Golden Retriever mom to our Beckham, and outdoor enthusiast. My business was created purely out of passion. I’ve always had a love for photography, art and design. I first picked up a camera in 2009 during a high school film class and haven’t stopped shooting since. My photography is inspired by nature’s beauty and life’s beautiful details. I have an infatuation with natural light, details & beautiful scenery. I strive to create light-filled, romantic & timeless imagery, from capturing all the small details to the raw emotional moments. This is my dream job and I’m thankful for it every day.

I honestly cannot thank Taylor enough. As a "COVID bride" many things about our wedding did not go as planned and there were plenty of emotions that came with that. However, when I received my GORGEOUS photos from Taylor, it meant the world to me to have something beautiful, over the top, and PERFECT during a time when so many things have taken unexpected turns. She was so professional on the day of, fast, knew all the "good angles", and made us feel so comfortable! I cannot say enough about her. Not to mention so flexible with the fast-paced change of plans leading up to the wedding day. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
