Sacramento Wedding Photographer. Portrait Photographer.
I’m all about creating a soulful, refreshing environment for couples, families and mothers alike. I invite joy with a naturally guided experience — posing you softly with organic prompts in which you can feel like yourself and look incredible too. And, after the memories are made and the photos are taken, I edit the photos with care to ensure that your family heirlooms will last, and be loved through the years.

Nothing beats that “just married” feeling, but my goal is to have all those butterflies come fluttering back year after year. Your wedding photos will bring you closer to that feeling than anything else.
I've tailored THREE collections - one of which I'm sure will fit your day perfectly.
However, if you think your day doesn't fit the mold, I'd be happy to curate a custom collection just for YOU!
Please inquire and I'll send over my full investment guide.
I believe in exceeding expectations:
the wedding experience
+ Establishing a relationship with you in which you’ll feel welcomed and celebrated for what makes you, you.
+ Helping you let your guard down and have fun so we can take the best images you could ever hope for.
+ Sending over a thorough photography timeline designed to give every aspect of your event enough time to be beautifully captured
+ Making elements picture perfect on the wedding day (You better believe I will move things around if I need to because backgrounds do matter!)
+ Supporting you to make your day more enjoyable and stress-free
+ Serving as a constant resource whenever questions arise (yes, you can absolutely text me and I will answer those questions ASAP)

The endearing, unseen and unconditional moments we experience day in and day out are never documented, but I know they're there! Set some time aside for you to get in front of the frame, play and document the love and connection you have with your children.

Motherhood
The seasons of life quickly pass us by if we don’t take the time to appreciate and document them. It breaks my heart when parents don't have the opportunity to capture those fleeting, joyful moments with their kids before they’re all grown up

“We are SO happy (and lucky) we worked with Denise Apgar photography for our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day as well. She made it into such a fun experience that had us laughing and smiling nonstop. She is so professional and made us feel like the stars of the show! When we saw our photos from the events, we were in tears! This was the best investment and we couldn’t be happier with Denise’s photography, editing and vision.”
