pictures are the closest thing we have to time travel. if photos are captured correctly, you get to relive some of the most important moments of your life! this is why I believe finding a good photographer is the most important decision that can be made for your wedding! take your time reviewing my packages, my portfolio and my philosophy. if you think we're a good fit, I'd love to learn more about you, your fiancé and what your big day looks like! let’s capture your love story!
some of my favorites
how I approach your big day!
Hello, my name is Dez and I would be so happy to be your wedding photographer! One thing you should know about me is that I’m not just your photographer, I’m your friend, your hype man, your therapist and so much more!
Weddings are beautiful but they are also sooo chaotic! This is why I take it upon myself to make sure you are comfortable, stress-free and happy during the biggest day of your life! This leads into why my photographic style is kind of a mix of everything:
I like to be a fly-on-the-wall during ceremonies. This allows me to capture everyone’s raw and authentic reactions/emotions!
I like to be hands-on and direct during family photos. This allows everyone to feel at-ease knowing they didn’t miss out.
I like to be artistic and prompt during bride & groom portraits. This allows me to capture the love, intimacy and joy you share!
Each couple is different and some approaches may not be necessary! This is why getting to know you and talking to you is so important!.Your vision and expectations are extremely important to me, because when the chaos sets in.. I need to know (without asking) if I should step in or back off. Genuinely caring about you is what makes me a great photographer!
some client testimonials
-
Katelyn & Joe
Desiree and her partner were absolutely incredible to work with throughout the entire wedding process. They were extremely accommodating, even when we had last-minute changes, and they graciously stayed two hours longer than originally planned. Desiree ensured every single one of my photo requests was met plus more!
-
Julia & Jacob
From the very first conversation, working with Dez felt effortless. She made us feel completely comfortable and genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, she brought such a calm, grounding presence that allowed us to truly be present and soak in every moment.

Chloe & troy
When I tell you Desiree was everything we could have dreamed of and more!! From our very first conversation, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and so genuine. And every conversation thereafter was so helpful. I'm not even joking when I say she essentially helped us build an itinerary for our wedding, and I could feel my stress lift every time we talked. She's magical like that!!
