Yaritza Colon Photography

I did not not grow up with a camera in my hand knowing I wanted to be a photographer. I started with photography by photographing Punk/Hardcore bands but eventually stopped photographing those shows because I didn't want my camera gear to get broken by someone stagediving. Being apart of that music scene help me cultivate friendships with people all over the world, and gave me lots of travel opportunities. Those experiences carried over into weddings helping me understand real documentary style moments and being comfortable surrounded by new people.

I’m not the kind of person that boasts about my "ideal client” or who you should be…some photographers do it well, only wanting certain “types” of people. It looks like the same wedding over and over again. I love that my couples are a reflection of the people who I have surrounded myself with in my personal life – diverse in lifestyles, interests, cultures, careers etc…but the one thing that brought each to me was the way they wanted their wedding photographed. Don’t worry, we will get those traditional shots too, but I wont turn you into a walking cliché. I focus on the interactions with you and your guests, and all the moments in between.
