YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Hey, I’m Yaseli (pronounced Ja-seh-lee). I photograph weddings and elopements for people who don’t need a script to show up with their whole heart.

Love isn’t always neat. It’s full of sideways glances, inside jokes, messy hands, and moments that would never make it into a highlight reel—and that’s exactly what I want to capture. The real rhythm of your day, the stuff that sneaks up on you in the best way.

My job isn’t to stage your story—it’s to catch it as it unfolds. The way your fingers find each other when no one’s looking. The silence right before the vows. The chaos of the afterparty. Every photo should feel like a memory, not a photoshoot.

If you’re into that, you’re in the right place.

    Yaseli captured every moment of our wedding day perfectly. To say she did everything 100% would be an understatement, she went beyond. She was great to work with, and everything from coordinating the day of, to the final step of receiving the gift of the photos in the mail, we couldn't have asked for more! If we ever have another special day we want photographed, she's #1 on our list.

    We chose to have an adventure elopement in North Carolina and were sold immediately, looking through portfolios for people close to the area. Our wedding was a little 'different' and included getting ready at a mountain rental, then a drive to a waterfall hike. Yaseli was down to do it all with us and teamed up with our videographers so they all could get the best documentation possible. The communication between her and our other vendors was flawless, and everyone said she was amazing and so sweet to work with. Everything we asked for was captured, and we would definitely recommend her for your wedding photos!!

    LOVE LETTERS

    Yaseli and her husband Julio did such an amazing job, working together as a team during our engagement shoot to make us feel comfortable and helped us connect as a couple so that emotion shows through in our photos. On our wedding day, we couldn’t stop grinning long enough for Yaseli to take very many “serious” shots (LOL) but she was able to work around our nerves, excitement and giddiness to capture the day beautifully. She also did a fantastic job photographing the reception and we really love the photos of our friends and family dancing and having fun! She truly captured the love and excitement of the day.

    Yaseli is a literal angel!My husband and I met Yaseli in Asheville, NC, and had her do our engagement photos - which are undoubtedly some of my favorite photos of us to date. After my mother-in-law circulated our engagement photos for the thousandth time, and EVERYONE raved about how cute we looked, it only made sense to book Yaseli for our wedding, too. Yaseli skyped with me a handful of times to go over our vision for our photos, and what exactly we wanted. She even traveled all the way down to Tampa, Florida for the wedding. Yaseli and her husband were so much fun to work with, and their style of photography captured our wedding perfectly, just as it was, without cheesy wedding poses or awkward posed faces. Our final wedding photo album came beautifully packaged, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry when I opened it! We will absolutely be using Yaseli for any other photo needs we may have. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    Yaseli was an absolute dream to work with. We had to plan our wedding from across the country which is very stressful. Yaseli made the time to Facetime me whenever about times/dates/style and all the above. She even traveled hours away to do a free engagement shoot with us! Climbing all over rocks and creeks! She made the photography portion of our wedding a total breeze. Her style is personal, intimate and completely gorgeous. I highly recommend Yaseli to any bride; she made our wedding photos something we can cherish for ever and ever.
