About YaYa
BEHIND THE LENS
MEET YAYA
I am a proud military brat/spouse who has given the opportunity to experience cultures, and meet amazing people in my life. The heart of my business as a wedding & engagement photographer in Dallas is rooted in the passing of my grandfather. For me, memories are a big deal. In my family Iāve always been the one to take photos.
The last photo I took of my grandfather is in my phone. I think about how many people donāt have this opportunity to have their photos captures in some of the most treasured moments with some of the most important people. Through this experience I realized the value of a single moment, and single photography. This is where I draw my inspiration and passion for capturing special moments for each couple. And it is through this that fuels me to capture your images with certain ethereal quality, imbuing each photograph with a dreamy, otherworldly feel. AĀ regal quality, evoking a sense of grandeur and sophistication that perfectly captures the essence of your wedding day.
I desire to empower you to have these family heirlooms to treasure and memorialize for years to come.Ā I believe that the best wedding photographs are those that capture the spirit of the family, and that is why I take the time to get to know you and your family that I work with. By understanding the dynamics of your family and the unique personalities of each member, I can create images that truly capture the essence of who you are as a family andĀ create a sense of magic and wonder that perfectly captures the romance and joy of your wedding day.
JUST A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THNIGS

FAMILY
Family is everything and being a mom of two beautiful daughters entering the teenage world is an adventure. Bless to have my kind hearted, goofy, & handsome husband, Matt, of 19 years and counting, by my side...our Rom Com Love Story.

DESIGNERS
The layered textures and color of Marchesa, the imagination and botanical thrill of Gucci, and the classic silhouettes, culture and allure of Dior. My local muse: Jared & Wendy Scroggins - Elizabeth Lee Bridal, the fairy godparents of weddings.

TRAVEL
Travel is life! Being a military brat, I had the opportunity to fully experience beautiful, rich cultures and meeting amazing people all over the world. France, Spain, Mexico, Jamaica are just a few places I have visited. Living Italy for 2 and a half years was a dream come true. Shout out to my homeland, La Isla Del Encanto, Puerto Rico.

MUSIC
Music is the center of my soul. It is what allows me to be creative, inspire others to see things from different perspective and share stories that will be heard all over the world.
Immortalizing Your Love Story that Is Timeless!
“From the moment we met her she put us right at ease. As a bigger man I don’t always love pictures or the process, but Yaya’s energy and vibes allowed me to feel comfortable and confident. Also, she brings such a joy and energy to her work that it felt like having another member of the family at the wedding.”
