wedding and elopement photographer and filmmaker

A distinct, story-driven take on wedding photography—rooted in honesty, nostalgia, and artistry. My approach is simple: honest storytelling.

GET TO KNOW DESTINY

I’m here for the real stuff—the messy, meaningful, blink-and-you-miss-it kind of moments. The belly laughs, the quiet tears, the way your people look at you when you’re not paying attention. That’s the magic I want to bottle up for you.

I shoot a mix of film and digital—35mm, medium format, Polaroid, and sometimes Super 8—because I care just as much about how your wedding felt as how it looked. There’s something about film that holds onto emotion in a way nothing else can, and pairing it with digital means nothing gets missed.

My style leans documentary, with a bit of editorial guidance when it’s needed. I’ll gently step in when the moment calls for it, but most of the time I’m letting things unfold naturally and guiding you along the way. 

I believe love is an art form, and the way I photograph it reflects that. Whether it’s a perfectly imperfect instant or a more intentional portrait, I’m there to catch it as honestly as I can. Because this isn’t just about having nice photos—it’s about remembering what it all felt like.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, let’s make something beautiful together.


We LOVED working with Destiny! She is so creative and talented. Her photos are so dreamy and she did a fantastic job at capturing our day. Everything from understanding our vision, building our timeline, and rolling with the chaos of the wedding day was flawless. She is so fun and easy to work with, and she had our pictures back so quickly! They look like shots from a movie. Destiny is an absolute gem, and I’d recommend her to any Richmond brides-to-be. We felt so lucky to have her.

There are not enough positive words in the English language to ascribe to Destiny and her work. We asked her to shoot our elopement, and from beginning to end she was the epitome of professional and kind—a very rare find. We were also a little worried because my wife and I are a queer couple, but it could not have mattered less to her.

The day of it ended up pouring rain. Not only was she kind, positive and very bubbly during our set, but she came PREPARED. Destiny was there with not one, not two, but THREE separate umbrellas. Her gear was safeguarded against the rain, and all of the shots came out picturesque and perfect. We could not have asked for more. Thank you for making our elopement so special. You have made a returning client out of my wife and me for life.

BOOK HER WHILE YOU CAN. With her talent, professionalism and disposition I can’t imagine that she’ll have open books for very much longer.

-Sage Nunez

Destiny has done amazing work for my wife and I multiple times now and we couldn’t be happier with the results. At first, I wasn’t super comfortable with being photographed but destiny creates an environment that is welcoming. She creates beautiful moments and preserved valuable memories for the two of us that we will cherish forever. To this day, I carry a photo of my wife in my wallet that Destiny took. Thank you Destiny for everything.
