AVERY  DOCENA

Hi, I’m Avery... a photographer, storyteller, and someone who believes the best photographs are the ones that bring you right back to a moment. My journey behind the camera started back in 2009, and what began as a passion for photography has taken me across different cities, states, and countries, documenting weddings, engagements, portraits, events, and once-in-a-lifetime celebrations. I’m not just interested in taking a beautiful picture. I want to capture the feeling behind it... the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the laughter between two people, the happy tears from family, the crazy moments on the dance floor, and all those little details you may not notice until years later. Being a destination photographer has allowed me to meet incredible people and photograph unforgettable stories throughout the United States, Canada, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and beyond. Whether your wedding is close to home or somewhere miles away, I bring the same passion, energy, and attention to detail to every shoot. My approach is simple: I want you to feel comfortable, have fun, and enjoy your day while I take care of capturing the memories. I’ll give you direction when you need it, but I also love stepping back and letting real moments happen naturally. Years from now, I want you to look through your photos and not just see how everything looked... I want you to remember exactly how it felt. Thank you for trusting me to be part of your story.

 

Let’s create something you’ll want to remember forever.
