About Giselle Garza Lerma Photo

Giselle Garza Lerma

Photojournalist

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I'm Giselle, a San Francisco-based photojournalist and documentary photographer. My editorial work has appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle and The San Francisco Standard, among others, and documentary storytelling is what drew me to this career in the first place. When I got married, the best decision I made was choosing a photographer who saw the day the way I did and put me at ease in front of the camera. That's exactly what I bring to my clients: an unobtrusive, documentary eye paired with a genuinely personable approach, so your photos feel true to your day — not staged.

I hold a Bachelor's in Photojournalism, trained under Pulitzer Prize-winning faculty, and I currently work as a photo editor at a San Francisco newspaper. Photography isn't a side gig for me; it's my full-time career, on both sides of the camera. If you're looking for documentary-style wedding photography, I'd love to be part of your day!

Description

For couples who'd rather hike a ridge or say "I do" on a quiet beach than plan a big wedding. Relaxed, documentary-style coverage that captures the real, unscripted moments of your day and still delivers the shots you'll treasure. Pricing varies by elopement size, location, and add-ons (extra hours, second shooter, travel, film, etc.). Every elopement is different, so every quote is custom. Send me your date and details for a personalized quote!

    Engagement photography

    Working with Giselle Garza Lerma Photo was an absolute joy from start to finish. She has a remarkable ability to blend into the moment while capturing what truly matters—she kept our proposal surprise intact and created such a relaxed, natural environment that allowed us to feel comfortable being ourselves. The images she delivered are crisp and beautifully nostalgic on film, perfectly preserving the warmth and emotion of our day. What impressed us most was her communication throughout the process; she was warm, clear, and incredibly responsive, even going above and beyond by sending us the original film. Giselle's talent and eye for detail shine through in every shot, and we'll treasure these photos forever. We couldn't recommend her more highly to couples looking for a photographer who truly cares about telling their story.

    Amazing experience & amazing photos!

    I knew Giselle was the right choice after our first conversation, she was responsive, kind, and genuinely excited to work together. From start to finish, her communication was prompt and friendly, which made the planning process feel easy and stress-free. The mood board she created was incredibly helpful in making sure we were on the same page about our vision. I'd absolutely recommend Giselle to anyone looking for a photographer who cares about monumental moments in your life!
