  • Photographer

Authentic moments and real love stories. Wedding photos that feel like you. For me, the most important part of your wedding day is that you enjoy it. I have 10+ years and 200+ weddings of experience, and I genuinely love my job. Queer/LGBTQ+ friendly - always.

Sasha Pedro Photography was an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day. Her communication style is thorough and thoughtful, taking the time to engage with us beforehand to ensure she fully understood our vision and expectations. From the start, she was warm, professional, and attentive. We felt at ease every step of the way, and she captured our day exactly as we had envisioned. Despite both my husband and I usually disliking having our picture taken, Sasha created a relaxed atmosphere that made us feel completely comfortable. Even our camera-shy family members were put at ease by her friendly, relaxed approach. She organized our photos into “chapters”—from ceremony to family and friends, to details and the reception—so we could relive every moment. I couldn’t be happier with the gorgeous photos she delivered. We ordered a large canvas print from her, which is high-quality and brings us so much joy every time we look at it in our living room. Sasha Pedro Photography is worth every penny, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I specialize in creating uniquely personalized images that will set your photos apart from the rest. I am stealthy and observant, catching all of the little moments that end up meaning so much more. Feedback from clients includes my seamless workflow and calm demeanor made for a stress-free photo experience and that I achieved the perfect mix of natural and directed moments that do not come off as stiff or posed. In addition to photography and videography I also specialize in designing unique "photobooth" sets for you and your guests to have stylized photos without tracking down the photographer.

My experience working with Bee Roll Media was amazing. My wife and I both needed headshots for new jobs we were starting, and also wanted to do a fun couples shoot for holiday cards. The photographer Brianna made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and styled us to look our best. I got many compliments from colleagues for how professional my headshot was and was asked if they could get the photographer’s contact to do their own. As for the couples shoot, we had tons of fun. The studio had an awesome retro vibe that totally fit our aesthetic and we felt like we were models in an 80’s catalogue. She even shot on film to boost the retro look! People loved the holiday card we sent out and so did we! 10/10 would definitely recommend!

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

We are the go-to band for folks who want an authentic performance that is miles away from the usual Broadway-styled wedding experience. Our band was put together one musician at a time to make sure we had the right chemistry. That's why when you invite us to your celebration, you will not have to worry about not getting the band you hired. The Last Nites are a real band made up of amazing musicians who love to play music for music's sake.

We cannot recommend The Last Nites enough!! They were absolutely the BOMB! They were the hit of our wedding! The music was phenomenal – the song list was perfect, they kept the energy high all night! Everyone was dancing and they could not stay off the dance floor! They were an absolute VIBE! The band were super nice and really easy to work with! They were really quick to respond over email and were really organised! They also played during our wedding ceremony, which was absolutely magical! 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone looking for an amazing band!!
