There are photographers, and then there are those rare artists who see love in motion, emotion in silence, and truth in every fleeting moment. Andrea Yurrita belongs to the latter.
Growing up surrounded by creativity, Andrea’s journey into photography wasn’t a career choice — it was destiny unfolding. “Photography is not only my career, but a true calling that I am grateful to live every day,” she shares. With a background that marries fashion design and makeup artistry, Andrea views weddings through a lens that is both stylistically refined and intensely human. This blend of visual sophistication and emotional clarity has shaped her into a storyteller whose images linger long after the moments have passed.
From her very first wedding at just 17 years old to breathtaking destination celebrations around the world, Andrea crafts imagery that feels alive — warm, luminous, and deeply personal.
Andrea’s introduction to photography was organic, intuitive, and deeply ingrained from an early age. Long before she ever picked up a professional camera, she was fascinated by light, texture, and the beauty found in everyday moments.
“Being able to witness weddings and the love shared between couples is a blessing from God and a gift that allows me to create meaningful and timeless art,” Andrea reflects.
Her diverse creative background — from fashion design to makeup artistry — enriches her photographic vision, offering each couple a visually articulate narrative that feels both elegant and authentic. Andrea describes photography as her lifelong companion: one that has shaped her artistry and her understanding of love itself.
Andrea’s photography is often described as cinematic — but it’s more than just a visual quality. It’s a philosophy that values authenticity above all.
“I focus on real moments, genuine connections, and soft, elegant details,” she says. Andrea’s approach avoids forced poses or superficial perfection; instead, she embraces natural light, subtle interactions, and the spontaneous joy that unfolds between couples and their loved ones. Her images are soft, emotional, and timeless — reminiscent of cherished memories rather than staged snapshots.
With a refined eye for color, light, and composition, Andrea seeks images that feel both personal and universal — visuals that invite you to feel the moment, not just see it.
Andrea pairs her artistic vision with professional Nikon full-frame cameras and a curated selection of prime and zoom lenses — equipment she trusts to perform beautifully in every lighting condition. External flashes and reliable backup gear ensure that no precious moment goes undocumented.
Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime moments, and being fully prepared technically allows me to stay completely present creatively.
This blend of artistic sensitivity and technical readiness gives Andrea the freedom to focus where it matters most — the connection between her couples and the story that unfolds before her lens.
Andrea’s post-processing philosophy mirrors her photographic style: clean, natural, and emotionally resonant.
Her editing enhances color, mood, and light without ever overpowering the truth of the moment. Through careful color correction, balanced light adjustments, and tasteful retouching, each image achieves a refined and heartfelt finish that feels both timeless and true.
For Andrea, the greatest joy isn’t capturing picture-perfect scenes — it’s capturing feeling.
What I enjoy the most is being able to preserve the most important moments of people’s lives, freezing them in time.
Her love for meeting new people, understanding different cultures, and immersing herself in unique love stories enriches her work in ways that go far beyond technical skill. To Andrea, every couple leaves an imprint on her life — just as she preserves their memories for generations to come.
Andrea places deep emphasis on emotional connection with her clients, believing that genuine comfort in front of the camera allows true selves to shine through.
She begins every collaboration by listening — understanding each couple’s story, vision, and priorities. Communication, guidance, and thoughtful preparation help her couples feel relaxed, confident, and fully present on their wedding day.
“Trust the process, be yourselves, and remain present throughout the day. Weddings and events pass by very quickly.”
This gentle guidance allows Andrea to document each moment with intention and care — offering couples not just photographs, but treasured heirlooms of memory.
Every wedding is different, and Andrea approaches each one with adaptability and creative flexibility. She crafts custom packages tailored to the couple’s timeline, vision, and specific needs, ensuring a personalized experience that reflects the heart of their relationship.
Andrea’s passion for travel has led her around the world to photograph celebrations in diverse landscapes and breathtaking backdrops.
Among her favorite destinations are:
Iceland, a place she describes as unforgettable and deeply inspiring
Cabo San Lucas, known for its glowing light and dramatic scenery
Scotland, an upcoming favorite that she is especially excited to explore
Each destination offers new creative possibilities — from vast natural panoramas to intimate cultural moments — and each enriches Andrea’s artistic palette in its own way.
To Andrea, photography doesn’t begin and end with the shutter click. It’s the laughter shared, the tears shed, the quiet glances between two people committing their lives to one another. It’s the feeling of being truly seen.
I genuinely love love, and it is an honor to document such an important chapter in their lives.
Andrea strives to create not just beautiful images, but a thoughtful, respectful, and deeply meaningful experience for every couple she works with.
With a lens shaped by artistic depth, emotional honesty, and refined simplicity, Andrea Yurrita Photography offers more than pictures — she offers stories that live on long after the wedding day ends. Through her work, couples receive not just memories, but beautifully preserved pieces of their own love story — forever frozen in light, emotion, and time.
