We are Vic and Sasha Barrera, photographers and story-tellers by choice, light chasers by craft. We absolutely love an opportunity to grab our cameras and share beautiful moments with the world. We started out just as you, best friends in love, ready to take a leap of faith, hand in hand into that great unknown, marriage.
Early on in our career we knew we wanted to document love in the purest form. Our mantra, "Photography For Best Friends In Love" is something we crafted our entire brand around. We believe when marriage is built upon a foundation of love and friendship, there isn't a more beautiful story to share with the world.

Being your wedding photographer means so much more to us than simply clicking the shutter button on a camera and knowing our manual settings. It's something we won't ever take for granted because we understand the importance of this moment for everyone involved.
Being your wedding photographer means being a part of something greater than the day of, we are documenting milestones for you to have and to hold, forever. When you hire us, you join our family, and we join yours as you embark on life's greatest adventure yet.
We are there for you when mom looks on to see her little girl all grown up. We capture the tear jerking moments when you recite your vows, we are even there when grandma and grandpa share their sweet dance moves with the world at the reception! These are the moments we live to share, this is why we chose to do this for a living, because we love every moment of it.
