Welcome
All Photography By Tanya Velazquez
My work is all about capturing the heart and soul of a wedding day or the energy of the families I photograph. I love freezing the belly laughs, the tears, the pure joy of childhood, and the new journey of a couple on their wedding day. It’s my literal joy to get to create your family’s heirloom’s

why work with me?
Real Moments
I photograph the real: the unposed, the spontaneous laughter, the tears of joy, the real smiles, the silly dancing.
Experience
There’s little I haven’t seen. With that comes the experience that I won’t be surprised when things happen, and I know with confidence that I can handle it and still take amazing photos!
Creative Perspective
It’s the best part of my job: I get to see your wedding from the most interesting, unique angles. There are no boring photos here!
35mm film
I first learned photography on film! I was late to the digital world, so my love for film runs deep. I bring a film camera to every session!

next steps:
1. say hello
Reaching out is the first step.
Drop me a message with your details, wedding date, and any initial thoughts you have.
2. let’s talk
This is our chance to get to know each other a bit more, discuss your vision, and answer any questions you might have. It’s important to me that we’re on the same page and that you feel confident and comfortable moving forward.
3. book me
After our call, if you feel I’m the right fit for your day, we’ll move on to the online booking process. It’s straightforward and designed to secure your date efficiently. I’ve made it hassle-free to ensure you can focus on the many other aspects of planning your special day.
frequently asked questions
how far in advance should we book you for our wedding or Family Session?
Most couples book me 6-10 months in advance of their wedding date. Some holiday weekend dates are booked 12-14 months in advance. I only take 15 weddings per year.
Family sessions are typically about 3-6 months in advance.
Can we see a full wedding album, not just highlights?
100%! I believe in total transparency, and it’s important to see a full wedding day story or a full family session. Send me an email, and I’ll share a full album!
Do you have backup equipment?
Yes, I always come prepared with backup equipment so that nothing gets missed.
Do you travel for weddings?
While I have traveled a ton in the past, I prefer to stay close to home these days. I can quote travel, but I like to stay in California as much as possible.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, I’m fully insured. This protects not only my equipment but also gives venues and couples peace of mind.
How long after the wedding or family session will we receive our photos?
Typically, I deliver the final edited photos within 6-8 weeks after the wedding day and 3-4 weeks after a family session. However, I aim to send you a few sneak peeks within a day or two!
