INTRODUCTION I am seriously so excited about the potential of being a part of your day. I'm here to help you throughout your wedding planning process, all the way until you say I do, and even after that! I want to become your friend by the time we send you off as husband & wife! Need vendor suggestions? I'm your girl. Need timeline input? I'm your girl. Need a coffee run? I'm your girl. Want to send me a picture of your dress? I will hype you up & jump of excitement! Need me to find your parents? I'm your girl. Need me to bring people to the dancefloor? I'm your girl. Need me to iron your bridesmaids dress? I'm your girl. Need me to step up and remind everyone that this day is about you and for you to do whatever the heck you want to do? I AM YOUR GIRL. So lets do this! I'm here to serve you to the best of my ability and document your day perfectly so you can show these images to your grand-kinds one day!
let's get you married
I'm basically here to make your day as stress free as possible, while creating memories for you guys to cherish forever and share with your friends & family down the road.
SHOOTING STYLE IÂ am a strong believer that there is not such thing as small moments. If anything, those are the ones that make your day. There is nothing that I love more, than to photograph your parent's reaction when they see you walk down the aisle, seeing your best man or maid of honor giving a speech, the first look or touch between my couples, your first dance, your first kiss as husband & wife, and you dancing & partying all night long with all of your closest friends and family! I love to document the realness of your day, wether that is laughter, tear, joy, singing, dancing. ALL OF IT. I want to make sure you can hold these photos years from now and remember exactly what you were feeling. My style is more on the darker, moodier, warm side, while keeping colors alive & natural. My "posing" style is letting you be you and stepping in when you want guidance! I will direct you through everything while keeping your images reflective of YOU. I believe every couple deserves to be photographed with a genuine representation of who you are! I truly believe that the way I can tell your story best is by becoming your friend before I even start photographing you.
let's get you married
I like to gest invested in my couples stories, which is why I offer complimentary engagement sessions or coffee dates, to make some magic & have some fun before your big day!

22 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS we are almost there!
Q. IS THE RETAINER FEE/DEPOSIT NON-REFUNDABLE?
A. CORRECT! THE RETAINER FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE, WHICH IS 40% OF THE PACKAGE CHOSEN. THIS ENSURES THAT IF A COUPLE INQUIRES FOR YOUR DATE, IT WON'T BE AVAILABLE FOR THEM. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE FORCED TO CHANGE YOUR WEDDING DATE, YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY TRANSFER YOUR DEPOSIT TO A NEW DATE WITH NO FEES. Q. HOW DO YOU ACCEPT PAYMENTS?
A. I TAKE PAYMENTS THROUGH THE FOLLOWING PLATFORMS: - ZELLE: ESTELI.MIJARES@ICLOUD.COM - PAYPAL: ESTELI.MIJARES@ICLOUD.COM (FRIENDS & FAMILY) - VENMO: @ESTELY-MIJARES - CHECK. ONCE YOUR DEPOSIT & CONTRACT ARE TAKEN CARE OF, YOU WILL RECEIVE A PAYMENT RECEIPT CONFIRMATION FOR BOOK-KEEPING! Q. ARE THERE ANY PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS?
A. ABSOLUTELY! THE FINAL BALANCE NEEDS TO BE SUBMITED A MONTH BEFORE YOUR WEDDING DAY. I DO THIS SO YOU CAN JUST ENJOY THE MONTH LEADING UP TO YOUR WEDDING DAY & NOT BE THINKING ABOUT THE FINANCE ASPECT OF YOUR DAY. WE CAN ABSOLUTELY SPLIT YOUR FINAL PAYMENTS INTO MONTHLY PAYMENTS IF YOU PREFER, OR JUST SUBMIT YOUR FINAL PAYMENT A MONTH BEFORE YOUR WEDDING DAY. MY HEART BEHIND THIS, IS TO MAKE THIS AS EASY FOR YOU & FIND A PLAN THAT WORKS FOR YOU! Q. CAN I SAVE MONEY BY TAKING THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION OFF MY COLLECTION?
A. UNFORTUNATELY NO, BECAUSE THIS IS A COMPLIMENTARY/FREE GIFT THAT COMES WITH YOUR PACKAGE! THEREFORE IT CAN'T BE TRADED FOR CREDIT OR DISCOUNT. I TRULY ENJOY SPENDING SOME TIME WITH MY COUPLES DOING THIS, SO I TRULY ENCOURAGE US TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN! HOWEVER, IF YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN'T WE CAN TALK ABOUT SWAPPING YOUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION FOR A BRIDAL SESSION OR ADVENTURE SESSION AFTER YOUR WEDDING DAY.
Q. WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS IN OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION OR WEDDING DAY? A. IF THIS IS FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION, EASY PEASY, WE JUST RE-SCHEDULE YOUR SESSION. IF ITS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY, I WANT YOU TO NOT WORRY, I GOT YOU! I WOULD TRY TO NOT FOCUS ON THE RAIN AND JUST PUT ALL OF YOUR ENGERY IN THE FACT THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO MARRY YOUR BEST FRIEND. I WILL SCOUT YOUR WEDDING LOCATION AND HAVE BACK-UP PLANS IF RAIN DOESN'T ALLOW FOR OUR ORIGINAL LOCATION.
Q. HOW MANY IMAGES CAN WE EXPECT? A. I DELIVER APPROXIMATELY 75 IMAGES PER HOUR, SO THE NUMBER OF IMAGES TRULY DEPENDS ON THE PACKAGE CHOSEN. I ALSO PROVIDE A SHOT-LIST TO ALL OF MY COUPLES OF THINGS I WILL ABSOLUTELY DOCUMENT FOR YOU FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY, BUT ALSO PROVIDE A BLANK SHOT-LIST IN CASE THERE IS SOMETHING NOT ON MY LIST THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY WANT ME TO DOCUMENT. MY COUPLES USUALLY WRITE THINGS OF SENTIMENTAL VALUE THAT I WOUDLN'T HAVE KNOWN OF, IF MY COUPLES WOULDN'T HAVE LISTED IT!
Q. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY IMAGES?
A. FOR A WEDDING COLLECTION, 4-6 WEEKS TO RECEIVE YOUR ENTIRE GALLERY, SOMETIMES SOONER BUT NEVER LATER THAN 6 WEEKS. I DO SEND SNEAK PEAKS HIGHLIGHTING YOUR DAY TO MY COUPLES WITHIN 48 HOURS. BELIEVE ME, I WANT YOU TO HAVE THESE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! GOTTA MAKE THAT POST RIGHT? Q. DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE?
A. ABSOLUTELY! MOST VENUES REQUIRE INSURANCE FROM VENDORS, SO JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED A COPY AND I WILL SEND THAT RIGHT TO YA! Q. DOES THE PHOTOGRAPHER RETAIN COPY RIGHT?
A. YES! SO BY LAW, IT MEANS THAT WHOEVER PRESSES THE BUTTON OF THE CAMERA, OWNS COPY RIGHT OF THE MATERIAL. HOWEVER, I GIVE YOU PRINT RELEASE, SO YOU CAN PRINT & POST AS MANY PICTURES AS YOU WANT! THE ONLY THING COPYRIGHT GIVES ME, IS THE ABILITY TO POST MY WORK FOR COMPETITIONS OR BLOG POSTS.
Q. WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE? WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMETHING BREAKS OR DOESN'T WORK? A. I GOT YOU I GOT YOU I GOT YOU! I ALWAYS RBING WITH ME 2 CAMERA BODIES, A HANDFUL OF LENSES, SD CARDS, FLASHES, BATTERIES, AND MORE. I ALWAYS BRING DOUBLE OF EVERYTHING, SO I ASSURE YOU, YOUR PHOTOS ARE SAFE WITH ME. BUT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED ON THE ACTUAL CAMERA BODY, I HAVE 2 5D MARK IV CANON CAMERAS!
Q. WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? DO YOU HAVE TRAVEL FEES? A. I LIVE IN ATLANTA, GA! HOWEVER, I AM ALWAYS IN THE GO. DEPENEDING ON WHERE YOUR WEDDIN WILL BE, AS WELL AS YOUR PACKAGE, THERE MAY BE A TRAVEL FEE. FOR TRAVEL FEES, I ASK FOR GAS COMPENSATION & NIGHT ACCOMODATIONS (AGAIN, DEPENDENT OF LOCATION & WEDDING PACKAGE) MY COUPLES CAN CHOOSE TO BOOK THIS EITHER THEMSELVES OR BY REIMBURSEMENT ON THE FINALY PAYMENT. THIS IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERY COUPLE, SO JUST LET ME KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED AND WE WILL WORK SOMETHING OUT FOR YA!
CAN WE ORDER PRINTS OR ALBUMS WITH YOU?
A. ABSOLUTELY! WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR ONLINE GALLERY, YOU CAN PLACE ORDERS FOR CANVESES, PRINTS, ALBUMS, AND SO MUCH MORE. I AM PASSIONATE & ALWAYS ENCOURAGE MY COUPLES TO PRINT YOUR IMAGES! THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT HOLDING THE PHYSICAL IMAGE THAT JUST MAKES YOU RE-LIVE YOUR DAY AGAIN. Q. CAN WE SEE OR BUY THE RAW FILES? UNEDITED IMAGES?
A. QUICK ANSWER: NO. HERE IS WHY... WHEN YOU GO AND BUY A CAKE YOU GET A CAKE WITH ICING, YOU DON'T JUST GET A PLAIN CAKE. OR WHEN YOU BUY A PAINTING, YOU DON'T JUST GET A BLANK CANVAS. IT'S THE SAME CASE WITH IMAGES. OUR FINAL PRODUCT AND WORK IS DELIVERING YOUR IMAGES EDITED & RETOUCHED. A BIG FACTOR WHEN CHOOSING YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, SHOULD BE THAT YOU LIKE THAT PHOTOGRAPHERS STORY TELLING & EDITING STYLE. I THINK THAT'S PRETTY COOL.
Q. DO YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS THAT I DIDN'T ANSWER HERE? A. THAT'S TOTALLY FINE! SEND ME AN EMAIL AND I CAN SEND THOSE BACK TO YOU, OR WE CAN ABSOLUTELY SCHEDULE A PHONE CALL AND GET THOSE ANSWERED UP FOR YOU! BUT... IF I'M SPEAKING YOUR LOVE LANGUAGE AND YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO SECURE ME FOR YOUR DATE THEN LETS GET TO THE BOOKING PROCESS!
