Hi, I'm Elizabeth Ynostrosa
Four years ago, I picked up a camera and pretty much never put it down.
Before that, I was a painter. Oil and canvas were my first loves, and honestly, that background is exactly why my photos look the way they do. I don't just point and shoot; I look at the light, the color palettes, and the composition of a room exactly like an artist looks at a blank canvas.
When I’m not chasing a sunset down an open highway or shooting weddings across the Central Valley, my world belongs to my two kids. Motherhood is my ultimate superpower. It taught me how to handle chaos with a calm face, read a room in seconds, and master the art of multitasking.
I’m not a hands-off vendor who just shows up on the wedding day. I’m a high-touch, deeply personal creative. I will text you check-ins, design your mood boards, help pick out your outfits, and capture behind-the-scenes videos for you.
On the day of your celebration, I am your ultimate asset. Need a groomsman wrangled? I’ll be the bad guy. Need your dress fluffed? Done. Want jokes and high energy all day? I've got you. And best believe when the reception starts, I will be right out on that dance floor with you, camera in hand.
my Philosophy
At the end of the day, when the music fades and the lights come up, the reality of a wedding is that it is beautifully fleeting. The champagne will be toasted, the cake will be eaten, the flowers will eventually wilt, and that gorgeous dress will be carefully packed away into a box. When the celebration is over, the only tangible thing you have left to hold onto is your pictures. That is exactly why I do this, and why I treat your day with so much intention. I'm not just there to check off a list of traditional wedding poses; I am there to archive the raw, wild, beautiful energy of the best day of your life. I am building a visual time capsule of the quiet glances, the loud laughter, and the people who showed up to celebrate you. Decades from now, when the memories start to soften, I want you to look back at your gallery and feel the exact magic of that dance floor all over again.
