Welcome!
I'm so excited you're here! I'm sure you have taken a look at my website and Instagram, maybe saying, "Could this be the ONE?!" Well, here's a bit more about me, my editorial approach, and of course the wedding photography experience!
Let's get started!
An editorial, connection based approach
Photographer Values
I serve modern, joyful couples who value family and en elevated experience, specializing in editorial photography and preserving cherished memories.
By getting to know my couples well before the session and wedding day, I create a comfortable space making them feel at ease so that they can truly be in the moment. That's how the editorial, story telling images come to life!
If this sounds like your wedding photography experience dream come true, I can't wait to share more!
Real Emotions
My editorial approach will allow me to create a comfortable space knowing when to give gentle direction and then let moments unfold.
Editorial Essence
This photography styles weaves together a narrative full of details and moments that will evoke how you feel in this beautiful season in your life and milestone in your relationship.

HI, I'M IRENE RIVERA
Wedding EDITORIAL & PORTRAIT Photographer
I started BFP as a way to preserve my own cherished memories, and quickly fell in love with helping others do the same with their wedding journey. I specialize in editorial photography, capturing love stories and moments as they truly are. Couples who choose BFP love the ease of my posing approach creating flattering and emotional images.
PROVIDING
CURATED COLLECTIONS
No two weddings are exactly the same, so I create custom wedding photography collections. After our discovery call, I'll recommend the best base collection and customize it to your unique needs and event. I also offer multiple day wedding event coverage, from rehearsal dinners and pre-wedding welcome dinners, to post wedding luncheons.
PRIORITIZING
CONNECTIONS & EMOTIONS
Instead of memorizing poses, our wedding photography technique perfectly blends a documentary approach of knowing where best to capture moments and anticipate them, with giving gentle direction making sure everyone looks their best! You will receive images focused on personal connections and genuine emotion, captured with intention and care.
RENDERING
FINE ART HEIRLOOMS
BFP will not only preserve your wedding in digital format, but also with my Signature Heirloom Albums you'll be able to share and pass on to future generations. Featuring luxurious cover materials, thick layflat pages, and a range of customization options to enhance your imagery, these albums offer a timeless and elegant way you'll love to literally "hold on" to these precious memories.
"My husband and I want to thank Irene for making our wedding the most amazing and memorable day!"
She is so kind, professional and made sure she captured every detail, even things we didn't think of. We received so many compliments from family and guests on how sweet and professional she was.

Where We Go From Here
1 . Customize
Found the perfect base collection for your wedding? Now let's customize it. Giving your control and priority of how the day will flow, I want to ensure you get enough coverage from getting ready to the Grand Exit, with moments in between to relax and not feel rushed.
2 . Consider
Have special family members coming before the wedding to rehearse, or a lavish pre wedding dinner patty? Let's document it! A wedding is more than a day, it's an experience. Considering now much effort and planning you put into this, it only makes sense to preserve the details and memories!
3. Capture
Once the options have been considered and your custom collection created, it's time to finalize these details in writing with the contract. This process is simple and easy with the contract, retainer payment and Welcome Guide all sent online.
What can we expect during the wedding planning process?
Dedicated to making this journey stress free, easy and fun, I'll be guiding you from finding other vendors, to planning the perfect engagement session, and creating your custom wedding photography timeline and shot list. Have questions or need suggestions? I'm available via email or text.
After the wedding, how will we receive our gallery?
You will receive a sneak peek within two days of the wedding and the full online gallery via email link within 6 weeks. The gallery is available for a minimum of one month to ensure you have enough time to download the gallery onto a computer.
Will you pose or direct us while you document our wedding?
Instead of focusing on memorizing poses, I guide my couples to the best light and let moments naturally happen. When needed, I provide gentle direction to make sure everyone looks their best.
How do we book our date with you?
