I keep communication clear, timelines realistic, and delivery fast.

For couples who want the full story of their day, I offer full–day wedding photography and videography coverage. From getting ready and first look through your ceremony, portraits, reception, and dance floor, my team and I are there to capture both the big, emotional moments and the small, quiet ones that hold your day together. You’ll receive a cohesive set of wedding photos and cinematic films that tell the same story from start to finish.

Every collection is customized to your location, timeline, and priorities. Whether you’re looking for a PNW wedding photographer, a PNW wedding videographer, or combined wedding photography and videography packages, we’ll build something that fits your celebration and gives you the kind of memories you want to hold onto.

Yari photographed our wedding on August 23rd and did a fantastic job! From the very beginning, he was responsive, organized, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. On the wedding day, he blended in seamlessly, captured so many candid moments, and also guided us when we needed direction for portraits without making anything feel forced. The lighting, colors, and attention to detail in every image are amazing, and the final gallery was beautifully edited and delivered in a way that was simple to view and share with family and friends. We love every photo. He is worth every penny along with being affordable. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great professional photographer.
