Portraits by Dez Welcome — I’m Dez! I’m a portrait photographer based in a charming coastal town in Northern California, where the redwoods meet the sea.

My photography journey is deeply rooted in a love for storytelling, connection, and capturing life’s fleeting moments.

Today I had the privilege of photographing Sabrina & Morgan’s beautiful beach elopement. There was something so special about witnessing a love that didn’t need anything elaborate—just two people choosing each other, surrounded by the sound of the waves and one breathtaking view.

Sabrina & Morgan, thank you for allowing me to witness and capture such an intimate chapter of your story. It was truly beautiful to see the love between you two. 🤍

Here’s to forever. 🥂🌊

This session was SO much fun! So many laughs, so much personality, and the sweetest group of friends. There’s just something special about capturing this season of life—the inside jokes, the uncontrollable laughter, and the friendships that make the best memories.

And can we talk about this gorgeous fall setting?! 🍂 😍
These girls absolutely brought the fun, and I loved getting to capture it all.
Years from now, I hope they look back at these photos and remember exactly what it felt like to be together in this moment. 🥹 🤎

Because some of the best photos aren’t just about how you looked… they’re about who you were with and how much fun you had. ✨

✨ 50 years of love. ❤️

When I heard that this sweet couple was celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, I absolutely loved what they chose to do to celebrate. All they wanted was to have their entire family together in one place for family photos.

And honestly, it was so special to witness. 🥹

Fifty years ago, their story started with just the two of them… and now look at the beautiful family that has grown from that love. Generations together, laughing, hugging, and simply enjoying being with one another.

You could truly feel the love between this family, and I feel so fortunate that I was able to capture a little piece of it for them.

Because at the end of the day, what better way is there to celebrate 50 years of marriage than surrounded by the people who are part of the beautiful life you built together? ❤️

Happy 50th Anniversary! Here’s to a lifetime of love, family, and memories — and to the legacy you created together. ✨
