Photo Shoots in Citrus Heights, CA

Hi, I'm Matt! I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based in Lake Tahoe. The best way to contact me is through my website. I strive to create timeless images that capture true emotion. I favor a photojournalistic, candid style, but often employ other styles — including classic, editorial, and fine art — to help tell your story. I offer photo + video packages for those looking for both options, and also offer a digital photo booth through my other brand, Alpine Photo Booth. I’ve had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember — from making short films as a kid with old-school camcorders, to getting my first "professional camera" in 2007. I love visual storytelling, and I’d be honored to be your photographer.

At DNA Premium Photography, our job is NOT to take a picture of what someone looks like, but instead, take a Fine Art Wall Portrait of WHO someone IS and display it visually. A truly original piece of Art made JUST for you, one that fits your home decor, one that is timeless, and worthy of your mantel place. The Areas Best in Home Decor Artistic Portraiture.

Hi, I’m Pascale Thomas, the videographer and photographer behind My Big Day Videos and Pictures. For the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing some of the most important moments in people’s lives—weddings. It’s my true passion to tell stories through videos and pictures, focusing on the beautiful details that make each wedding day unique. Whether it’s the laughter of your best friend, the quiet exchange of vows, or the intricate details of your dress, I am there to capture it all. I believe that every wedding is a story, and it’s my job to help you tell yours. I focus on the small moments that make your day special, the kind of moments you may not even notice in the hustle and bustle of the day itself. I also pride myself on being adaptable. Every couple, every family, and every wedding is different. I work with a wide range of personalities and groups, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and that your wedding day is captured in a way that feels natural and true to who you are. When I’m not behind the camera... I’m often spending time with my dog Lexi or working as a foster mom for our local animal shelter. Helping animals find their forever homes has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Being a part of the animals journey to find a loving home has taught me so much about patience, care, and the importance of creating lasting connections—principles I apply to my work with couples as well. Eight Years of Experience: Just as I put love and care into fostering animals, I also pour that same care and passion into every wedding I shoot. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing weddings of all sizes and styles, which has given me a deep understanding of how to adapt to different personalities and needs. Whether it’s a small, intimate gathering or a large celebration, I bring my expertise and passion to every wedding I shoot. Passionate Storyteller: I’m not just capturing photos and videos—I’m capturing emotions, connections, and stories. My goal is to tell the story of your wedding day in a way that feels true to you, highlighting the details that matter most and turning them into memories you’ll treasure forever.

**Please read before contacting me** My main service is WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY. I travel all over California, and other states shooting weddings/events. When I am not shooting weddings, I also photograph corporate events, various types of party events, and I work with tourism boards making travel photos for their advertising. I have 18+ years full time experience in the wedding industry, and I'm happy to answer any questions you have. Please note that Thumbtack CHARGES me a fee when you contact me $80-$150. So I please ask that you review everything first. If you like what you see after googling me, and my official website. Please contact me with date, venue, guest count, and any information pertaining to your wedding. My style is more natural editing, and not "over" edited. I focus on real, not fake. I absolutely love what I do. I capture absolutely everything on your entire wedding day. While you are running around, and enjoying your moment. Interactions between friends, family, candid moments, and all the special moments in between occuring. If you're camera shy, don't worry. I'm personable, easy to get along with, and understand fully. Even though I'm a photographer, I actually don't like being in photos myself, so I understand this feeling. I help you relax, laugh, help with natural posing during portraits, focusing on real moments between you both. I'm there to guide, direct, and always help you. I think my photography stands out from others as I have shot on film my entire life (now digital). I focus on everything and those "real moments". When I make photos, I strive to get the shot right the first time "in the camera" - not in Photoshop! A lot of photographers overly utilize Photoshop and manipulate their photos far beyond what they originally shot making things look "fake". With my work, I edit in Lightroom as a "digital darkroom" to develop exactly what I SHOT naturally, darkening, lightening, color correction if needed, removal of unnatural blemishes on face that appeared day before your special day. Photoshop is only used in my work if something major needs to be done, mistake, or a client has a special request for that magazine look of brushing, for example a fashion shoot, modeling ad and so on. No one should "rely" on Photoshop. You should rely on your "photography skills" - while on the job. Note: You will see many "companies/teams" that will reach out to you with their photographers. But many of those other photographers do not edit their own photos. I think it is VERY important the person making the photos, edits their own shots. It makes zero sense to me that the artistic side of the photo, or exactly how the shot was taken by the photographer shooting - is edited by someone else. I do not use fake filters, I actually care about each photo I take, and each one is meticulously edited. Each shot is personalized with MY EYES for your special day. Lastly, of course I WILL EDIT /remove blemishes, pimples or something out of place, color correction, if camera translated colors incorrectly. BUT I cannot do requests for making you thinner, or making you look completely different from who you are. I'm a photographer, not a graphic art designer, nor a Magician. If you want beautiful, non-fake photos that actually represent your special day - and your beautiful self inside and out. Showing your happy moments, joy, love, surprise. I'm your photographer. If there's one major thing to lookout within my photos. Take notice of LAUGHTER. I really strive to capture REAL moments of laughter, smiles, tears, and love.
