    Great photographer!!

    Priscilla did such an amazing job shooting our wedding!! My husband and I could not be happier with how each and every photo came out! Not only is her photography work absolutely beautiful but she is extremely professional and organized. Through the time leading up to our wedding and even following after, Priscilla has continually made herself available to chat about any and all our questions! She was so sweet, understanding, and open to all our ideas and visions for what we wanted on our wedding day! She went beyond just a normal photo shoot in order to capture everything about our day!
    Not to mention—Priscilla is so much fun!! She interacts, makes jokes, and makes you feel important! Truly, she will bring even more beauty to your day just by her kind and uplifting character!

    Perfection with Priscilla!!!

    You need this photographer!!! Priscilla was an incredible person to work with! From the very beginning she was so kind, thorough, and professional. It was obvious that she is passionate about weddings/love and creating the best possible experience. Everything felt so easy with her. She was very communicative and willing to answer any questions/concerns. She was patient and brought out the best in my wedding party. My husband and I felt so natural and comfortable. She even checked on us multiple times to make sure we had enough to eat and drink! I look back on the pictures and cannot hold back the tears. She captured moments that I didn’t know existed!!! I’m so thankful for all she and her team did for our special day!

    Outstanding!

    This photographer was committed, reliable, and patient. She displayed qualities I’d expect from someone of a much older age. Priscilla was communicative, informative, and attentive to setting the right tone for my special day. Priscilla proved to be of lesser expense than the competition; yet provided an amazing quality of photographs.
    Capture you moments by hiring Priscilla. You won’t be disappointed!!

    Exactly what we wanted!

    Priscilla did a wonderful job taking photos of our small, intimate wedding. She worked with me when I requested a smaller wedding package, since our wedding didn’t include a bridal party and a lot of the traditional aspects. She was very pleasant and professional the day of our wedding. Four days later, she gave me sneak peeks of the photos I asked for so I could share them with my sister on her birthday. Our album was edited and shared with us during the busy holiday season, and we loved how they turned out! She truly captured the beauty of our day. Thank you, Priscilla!

    Elopement to Hawaii

    We love Priscilla SO MUCH! This is not the first time we’ve worked with her and it will definitely not be our last. She’s the sweetest most down to earth cool chick that’s always bringing her A game. I am so proud of how far she’s come with her business. Watching her grow in her passion in capturing life’s precious moments has been a true blessing that my husband and I are lucky to have been a part of. I will always recommend her as her attention to detail, time she gives to her clients, and open minded spirit is just out of this world. 100/10 would recommend!!

    Best photographer ever!

    Priscilla did such an amazing job! I was speechless when I received my engagement pictures as well as my wedding pictures! Her work ethic is like no other. I did not have a wedding coordinator but Priscilla stepped in and made my wedding run so smoothly. I couldn’t have picked a better photographer ♥️

    So amazing!

    Priscilla was our engagement and wedding photographer. She made the whole experience so awesome and made sure to go out of her way to make those little moments so much more special. She is is easy to talk to about any details or ideas we had and also so creative with every session. And on my wedding day she went above and beyond and was alway checking on me to make sure I didn’t need anything. Then when the photos came back I was in awe of how beautiful our photos came out. In ever aspect of our whole experience with Priscilla she was amazing!

    Our perfect wedding!

    When my husband and I got married there was no doubt in my mind who should be our photographer. I mean her work speaks volumes and is incredibly timeless. Priscilla is concise and determined to get your wedding day perfect. She was helpful with every small detail and was even a personal cheerleader when I needed it. Her flexibility was incredibly helpful when getting shots of the family, the event, and as a couple. But most important of all she always had honest and open communication that surpassed our expectations. Our family loves Priscilla and is still our photographer of choice for events!

    AMAZING-best decision made

    Priscilla was the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. We absolutely love our photos, and we're so glad we have such amazing photos to enjoy for the rest of our lives. Ultimately she and I became more like friends, Priscilla does an incredible job getting to know you and what you'd like to get for your special day. She's competitively priced (honestly I think it's too low for how great she is) she's mobile, personable, and so so talented. I recommend her to all of my friends and family. I will be using her for photos for all special occasions in my life, you're very lucky if you get to book her!

    Wedding Photographer

    Priscilla was our photographer and she was amazing!!! She was able to capture every single moment I requested, moments I never even thought about asking and some that I didn't know, that when I saw the pictures I was in tears, happy tears!

    She was great to work with, very responsive, attentive, detail oriented and makes the entire process for you. You won't regret having her as your photographer, she's a sweetheart!

    I am so thankful that I chose Priscilla to be our photographer! Weddings can be stressful and one of our biggest priorities was our photos. Priscilla was absolutely amazing and she made us feel comfortable. Our pictures captured every moment of our wedding. We really can relive the day by looking back at our photos. I have received so many compliments on our pictures! Our photo album and digital prints arrived on time and Priscilla was great at keeping in touch with me and answering all my questions. I highly recommend her!

    Had our engagement photos taken in Big Sur with Priscilla and couldn’t love the pictures more! We were honestly kind of nervous considering we had never had professional photos taken together and thought it could feel kind of awkward... but she made the experience so comfortable! Everything was so natural and it was literally such a fun day! Couldn’t have asked for a better engagment session. If you are considering heras your photographer, DO IT!

    Truly a skilled artist with a camera! Easy communication, friendly ideas and planning, conducts herself in a professional and efficient manner. We had lots of children attend this wedding and Ms. Banuelos moved stealthily among kids and adults alike, nearly unseen while capturing the perfect shots and lighting! So Happy to find a trustworthy photographer for such an important event! Thank you Priscilla!

    My fiance and I have been super lucky to find Priscilla. I love her ethics and professionalism! Although we met only once in person before our engagement pictures, she was very attentive and respondent to our emails and texts. Her quality of work is awesome and super excited for the wedding pics! Thank you Priscilla!

    Pircilla did such a amazing job taking my boyfriend & I pictures. I’m absolutely in love with them. We were only suppose to go to two locations & she took us to four Spots in Yosemite, never made us feel uncomfortable and was so patient with us. She’ll definitely be taking our engagement/ wedding pictures!!

    We love our photos!

    We hired Priscilla to be our wedding photographer for our October 2019 wedding. We loved her work when we came across her profile and website and decided to reach out. Her styling and editing was gorgeous and exactly what we wanted. Skimping on photography for our wedding wasn't an option because photographs are the single most important asset to wedding planning, given that the photographs are the only thing you will have left of your special day. We are so incredibly happy with what she delivered to us. Pricsilla not only provided us with the most beautiful photos, she was really easy to work with! The day of our wedding, we hardly knew she was there, if at all. She is very sly, inuitive, quiet, and graceful. We were shocked she took the 500+ photos without us even knowing. She is great, and I highly recommend Priscilla! Thank you again so much! - Jonathan + Maria

    Yosemite Elopement

    We cannot say enough amazing things about Priscilla and her amazing photography skills! From the very first conversation, she went above and beyond to help us plan every detail of our day, making sure it was exactly what we dreamed of. She even drove an hour out of her way to pick up my flowers so I could have them on my special day—something I’ll never forget and am so grateful for.

    We spent the day together on an 8-mile hike, laughing, sharing stories, and just enjoying the adventure. They were the perfect company—fun, kind, and supportive—while still capturing the most incredible photos that we will treasure for a lifetime. I will forever be grateful for those trekking poles!

    Her talent behind the camera is unmatched, but what really makes her special is the heart and care she pours into every part of the experience. She didn’t just photograph our elopement; she made it unforgettable. We are so grateful we got to spend our day with her and Seth, and we would recommend them to absolutely anyone looking for not only breathtaking photos but also the best possible elopement experience! I am blown away by our photos and feel so lucky that I get to cherish them forever!

    Unfortunate experience

    First I’d like to start with I am happy with the quality of photos we did receive. Unfortunately, we had multiple issues… extra processing fees added to the last payment(of which no other vendor did to us), late in delivery, A LOT of missing photos/second shooter photos missing, attitude when asked about it, lack of basic professionalism/knowledge and more. She would give me dead lines when she would have things done and then not meet them and not reach out to me until I asked about it. I was actually in tears when she told me my gallery was complete because of how many photos were missed. We paid for a second photographer for the whole night and almost all from his angle during the ceremony/dances were missing. Of which she explained only the best photos were given. I was told asking for a picture of my husband spinning me during our first dance was not requested so she didn’t add it to our album. I had her take a photo of my bouquet while getting ready and my husband had the second photographer take photos of him with friends of which were missing. After continually requesting for the second photographers views I received some more photos. Of which were much better photographs and her angle was not the “best”.
    She added more of the photos I asked for but not until prompted and after much attitude! Of which some photos were still missing, like the bouquet. Which is heartbreaking as I had Lilly of the Valley flower like my nonni did in her wedding, a hand tooled leather warp, and with photos of my passed grandparents. It was very disappointing that I had to advocate and push for what I paid for and what should have been added to the gallery from the beginning… like the grooms sunset photos. It was also extremely shocking that I received someone else’s photos mixed into my gallery. Which was very concerning as I did a boudior with her and did my photos get sent to someone else on accident too? The contract stated photos would be delivered by 12 weeks and 16+ until the photos were delivered and 23 until the contract was fully completed!
    I am incredibly disappointed with our experience, but the tipping point was hearing from multiple guests just how rude she was to them!

    Disappointed

    I had two weddings on 10/15/22 and 10/22/22, one of those was a traditional Lao ceremony. I still have not received items that we paid for such as a usb containing all photos, a photo album and actual prints. My first text to her was 4/26/23, no response, the 5/4/23 I text again and she responded. She emailed me on 5/12/23 stating she would be mailing out the items that Saturday and here we are 6/6/23 no items or response from her. I emailed and text but she does not respond all while she’s posting on her social media account. As a paid customer who paid a lot to hire her for both days this is unprofessional and disappointing. I shouldn’t have to keep asking her when I will get these items. She actually didn’t even reach out to me about these items. I had to text her because I was going over my contract and I knew we paid to have items like that after the wedding. She actually didn’t shoot the 10/22/22 wedding, she outsourced two other photographers who were great but unfortunately she is the one who has to edit and get us our items. I would not want anyone to have to deal with this like we have and are still waiting and wondering if we need to take legal action.

    I do wish I had really taken into account the two negative reviews about her on Yelp, but unfortunately she has a lot of good ones on wedding wire and that's what I went by. It's been almost 8 months since my wedding and I have yet to receive the usb with all of our photos, a wedding album and physical prints that were included and paid for in my contract proposal. I had to reach out to her and she didn't respond until I reached out two more times. Items we're supposed to be mailed out to us in the middle of May as per her email on 5/12/23 and we still have not received anything or any response from via email or text when I reached out. We are both local so we should have received all three items. The unprofessionalism is disappointing and I shouldn't even have to be chasing her down for items we paid for. All we want is what is owed to us and to be done with contacting her. It's unfortunate this is how she runs her business.

    This is an update on my review. I was in the middle of finally downloading all of my images. I was trying to finish up with my 10/15/22 photos as of 10:10pm. I've been downloading all photos to my computer since 8pm because I don't know that I will receive my usb drives with all images from both weddings and she must have taken down the link seeing as she has time to do that at 10pm since I wrote the two reviews today. I tried the link that I used from my email and it says I typed the link wrong or it has been removed. It had to be removed because I've been able to access it from my cell phone email. Now i only have some of the images from 10/15/22. I would absolutely never recommend her to any family or friends.
    10/15/23: To date we still have not received our luxury album that we paid 600.00 for in our contract. I have emailed her and no response and I believe she blocked my number as she has not responded to my text messages. Next week will be one year since our wedding.

    Lack of professionalism

    I have never written a bad review before but this situation warrants it. I don’t want any other potential client to go through what my husband and I have experienced.
    Everything started off great with Priscilla in hiring her and providing details of our wedding last year 10/15/2022. The wedding photos even came out great. What was so disappointing was the interaction after the wedding.
    We had our sneak peeks delivered to us timely via email two weeks after the wedding (10/31/22). The full wedding gallery would not be sent to us until February 5, 2023. At the time her email stated “Please "favorite/heart" 30 images on the gallery you'd like to be printed. The faster this is completed, the faster you'll get all your goodies! There is a 2-3 week turnaround time from the time the photos are favorited.”
    We would not hear from Priscilla again until June 6, 2023 after we had emailed and messaged her several times for a follow up. Despite the ignored emails on 5/1, 5/8 and 6/5 also including an Instagram DM on 5/31 (left on “seen”), she only responded on June 6 by saying “Hi Micaela, my apologies for the delayed response. I have received the glass boxes that go with the prints and USBs. Can you please let me know what your address is? Thank you!”
    We emailed her back immediately with the address and AGAIN did not hear from her until our wedding coordinator stepped in on 10/7/23. This was after we had emailed her on 8/22, 8/29, 9/5, 9/12, and 10/2. We also Instagram DM’d her on 9/12 and texted her on 9/20 and 9/27.
    When our Wedding coordinator called her Oct. 7 Priscilla said she may have told us already (she did NOT) but that the boxes were sent out and rejected so she would have to repackage them again and that since she works a 9-5 job it’s hard to send them out as USPS is only open during those times. My coordinator asked to personally pick my box up to which Priscilla compiled. On 10/8, Priscilla was 30min late to meeting and only handed the box to my Coordinator saying “Here” while turning away. There was no apology or acknowledgment of how she treated us, only attitude in interacting with my Coordinator. However, she did find the time to have both my husband and myself “unfollow” her on Instagram after the meeting.
    I would NOT recommend her to anyone else as she failed time and time again to be professional. My husband and I were way too considerate and she took advantage of that.
