Nancy Fuentes Photography

  • Serves Monterey, CA

Hi there! You’re probably here because you’re engaged (pop the champagne!) or you're looking for someone to capture timeless lifestyle portraits that you'll want to cherish forever & always. I believe having a photographer that’s fun (wait, hold my beer!) and makes the wedding day feel relaxed & stress-free is numero uno. I am the one who fluffs your dress, the one crying behind the camera while you exchange your vows, & the one saying “yasssss!” a little too often. I’ll make sure you two & your family look flawless and do whatever it takes to get your candid moments.

“Nancy was incredible from start to finish! From the moment we booked her, she consistently checked in with us and truly felt more like a friend than a vendor. As a same-sex couple, we really appreciated how welcomed and comfortable she made us feel from day one, it meant a lot to us. We’re so grateful for her and already look forward to booking her again for future photo sessions!”

  • Serves Monterey, CA

When I photograph your special day, I not only tell your story, but also document the love and emotions so that you can remember how it felt that day. I believe a photo should enable emotions even for those who couldn’t be there to experience it themselves, and that the style and quality are without match. I will showcase your lifestyle and love. My editing style is colorful, timeless, beautiful, and flattering. I want your heart to swell every time you go through your photos! I am so excited to capture your love in a bold way.

“I have had the pleasure to work with Amber on several weddings and events. She is not only easy to work with but is very communicative and exceeds expectations. As a wedding venue/coordinator, there are times where a photographer will take over and slow things down from a timeline standpoint, but not Amber! She gets the "money shots" quickly and gets you back to your wedding to celebrate :) Oh JOY for De Joy Photography!”

We are both so awkward in front of a camera and he immediately made us comfortable - such an important skillset! We can't wait to see him again next June for our wedding, and have so much faith that he will hit it out of the park again!”

From the very first interaction, Madison was very accommodating and friendly in her communication, making the planning process seamless. Her excellent shooting and editing skills were evident as she captured all the special moments with beautiful, creative compositions. We feel lucky to have Madison as our photographer because we consider ourselves quite awkward when it comes to posing for pictures, but Madison provided excellent, easy-to-follow instructions to us, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted. We are 200% satisfied with the final products and have already had quite a few friends ask us for referrals based on the incredible photos.

Jasmine Lee is a destination wedding and lifestyle photographer residing in San Francisco, California. She is devoted to discerning couples and individuals that value the quality of crafting artistic and timeless imagery they will cherish for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
“If you’re looking for a photographer, stop your search right now — Jasmine is simply the best. She was referred to us by a close friend with impeccable taste, and wow… she exceeded every expectation. Our wedding came together in less than two months (which was chaos in itself) and on top of that, she had to deal with two stressed-out gays — but somehow, Jasmine made the entire process effortless. She is incredibly flexible, knowledgeable, and just brings this calm, confident energy that instantly puts you at ease. I was lucky enough to have her shoot our wedding ceremony and I still can’t get over how amazing the photos turned out. Every shot looks straight out of a movie — I honestly don’t know how she does it. She’s detail-oriented, organized, and has this eye for capturing the little moments that matter most. After seeing how beautiful our wedding photos were (which we’ll cherish forever), I asked her to photograph my post-bachelor party — and of course, she delivered again. Beyond her insane talent, Jasmine is just a joy to be around. So easy to work with, so responsive, and she makes everyone feel comfortable. Hiring her is not just hiring a photographer — it’s an investment in your memories. I’ll be recommending her to all my friends and family. She’s outstanding.”

Based in the PNW, I'm a seasoned photographer with 17+ years crafting love stories through weddings and portraits. Originally from the Bay Area, I've transplanted my roots here but am still drawn back to California often. Photography is my enduring passion, evolving from a creative background in design. Clients cherish the candid moments I freeze in time and value my patience. What sets me apart is not just technical expertise but a personalized boutique experience, from choosing me as your photographer to saying "I do." Immerse yourself in the art of storytelling through my lens, turning your wedding day dreams into timeless memories.

“We had booked another photographer whom we were no longer able to get in communication with closer to our wedding and but some luck found Joie who happened to be available on our wedding date! We were so lucky we found her when we did because Joie helped us tie up loose ends on our timeline and gave us ideas on best photo times and scenarios. We were also able to squeeze in a beautiful engagement session in San Francisco. We loved the city but Joie gave us some great insights on where to actually take the photos. On our wedding day, Joie was very thoughtful and made sure to take care of us all day long! We think its amazing that she was able to capture some of the candids that we wouldn't even have thought possible during our ceremony and reception and then gave us some absolutely dreamy sunset portraits! We can't thank Joie enough for the wonderful job that she did capturing our memories but more so than anything, treating us like we were friends and family and making the day feel so natural!”

My name is Cassie and I am a hybrid film + digital photographer, completely fascinated by the human story and the parts of it that we all share. My aim is to tell the story of your love and laughter through images that are timeless and intentional. I believe in storytelling through details, emotional portraits, and finding those quiet moments in the midst of celebration. I love capturing real moments that help my couples remember how they felt on their wedding day, through the lens of my own airy and dreamy style.

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the moment we started working with Cassie, it felt like we were reconnecting with an old friend. Cassie is so thoughtful, patient, and funny- and we got to experience that multiple times when we connected with her for our photography. We truly believe that her vision and personality is what makes her photos feel so authentic and filled with light love. As awkward people anxious about taking photos, we were so relieved how Cassie made us feel comfortable from the beginning of our engagement session. She was able to somehow fade into the background, while also guiding us and capturing genuine moments. We loved that photo session so much that we ended up hiring her for our welcome dinner as well! Cassie was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, making sure to get a list of our important shots ahead of the wedding while working closely with our planner to make sure there was a clear schedule. This meant that we could be as present as possible on our wedding day. On the big day, Cassie honestly felt more like a part of the wedding rather than simply a vendor. She knew how to make everyone comfortable, made sure the bridesmaids and groomsmen were having fun, and made the day feel natural for us. We got all of the wedding photos we wanted, and managed to even be AHEAD of schedule so we got to spend more time at our cocktail hour!!! Cassie’s photos capture the full range of emotions on the wedding day, because she’s able to connect deeply with her couples and understand what is important to them. Her style was something we gravitated to as we wanted a photographer who would not simply chronicle our event, but also capture the small details and genuine emotions that we might miss during the day. For both the engagement shoot and our wedding weekend, Cassie promptly delivered sneak peek highlights within a couple of days, and the full album within her initial estimate (8 weeks). She managed to capture the full essence of the day. Everytime we look at those photos, they bring us right back to those moments and feelings. We are so lucky and thankful to have had Cassie as our photographer. Hire her for your wedding! You will not regret it!!”

“Valerie is absolutely amazing. Obviously her work is so good, but she made the experience so much more! She was so incredibly easy to work with, so timely, couldn’t have been nicer, and overall an amazing photographer. I would choose her a million times over! My dad actually thought she was one of my friends from high school or college, because of how personable she was to all of our friends and family. She listened to everything we wanted and definitely delivered. We had a call a few weeks ago to discuss our timeline and she was so patient and helped us understand how the day would go / what we actually wanted. There were times when I was stressed and I can’t even tell you how calm she was and made us feel. My husband hates having his picture taking and didn’t expect to like the experience very much. He could not stop talking about how comfortable Valerie and her second shooter made him feel. We chose to do super 8 as well and I am so glad we did. I love that she has film option ad ons, as it definitely fit the vibe we were going for. Overall- Valerie is SO great to work with. She is so talented.

Hey, I'm Deepak! I'm a destination wedding photographer serving New England and beyond. I get excited about good light, great moments, and making photos you'll still love looking at 30 years from now. I love the big, emotional moments, but I'm just as interested in the ridiculous dance moves, the unexpected laughs, and the little things you probably didn't even notice happening. My goal is to capture your wedding in a way that feels like you, not a day-long photoshoot. Whether you're getting married on the Maine coast, somewhere across the country, or halfway around the world, I'd love to hear what you're planning!

“Deepak did a phenomenal job at our wedding. He was professional and a pleasure to work with right from the start. The booking process was easy and smooth. We had multiple video consultation sessions with Deepak prior to the big day, and he was super communicative about what we can expect the day of (timeline, special moments, etc.), and I appreciated that he was always so reassuring and encouraging. It helped a ton because we were so nervous. We were just utterly impressed by Deepak's professionalism. He was calm and collected, and his keen and discerning eye for beauty is unmatched. Amidst the chaos and despite the rain on our wedding day, Deepak was able to take us away from all that distraction and guide us through all the posing (we had so much fun) and captured our day beautifully and organically. Our sneak peek photos came back literally the following day, and they were absolutely stunning. Our full album was fully edited very soon after as well. We are so grateful for the gorgeous photos Deepak took of our day, and we look forward to savoring them for years to come. We can't recommend Deepak enough!”

With a calm and attentive presence, Heech approaches weddings in a way that allows couples to fully enjoy their day while meaningful moments unfold naturally. From intimate city hall ceremonies to coastal and estate weddings throughout California, the goal is always the same: to create images that feel genuine, refined, and true to the experience of the day.

“From our first conversation, Heech Studio & Co. was responsive and easy to reach whenever we had questions or needed to discuss details. On our wedding day, Heech and his team showed up ready to capture every important moment, and their work turned out even better than we imagined. They had a creative eye for the shots that really mattered to us, finding the small details that made our day feel personal and special. What impressed us most was how available they were to help with timing and logistics beyond just taking pictures. Heech is a genuine person who made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and working with him was truly an honor. We couldn't have asked for a better team to document our wedding.”
