A Wedding & Elopement PhotographerThanks so much for taking the time to be here! I’m a digital and film wedding photographer specializing in true to life, documentary and fine art photography. I am from New Kent, VA, but moved to Richmond in 2018 to pursue a degree at VCU. Prior to moving to Richmond, I first picked up a camera when I was about 12 when my grandma graciously gave me a polaroid came
ra. In 2021 I graduated with a theatre degree, but during college, photography continued to pull at my heart strings so much I decided I wanted to continue to pursue photography. I worked full time for almost a year until I started teaching darkroom photography where I grew up at New Kent High School. After a year of non stop growth and chaos, I decided to go back to shooting photography full time again before locking myself into an eduction bubble. So, that leaves me where I am today, pursuing my dreams capturing peoples most precious memories. My grandma instilled the importance of capturing moments we don’t want to forget at an early age once I lost her. She allowed me to photograph her soon before she passed and I cherish those photos more than anything. The joy I receive from telling other people's stories fuels my soul and has brought me where I am today. I am so grateful.

Our Story
HI! I'M DESTINY!
Thanks so much for coming to my page to look at my work and learn more about me! My name is Destiny Martinez, Im 20 years old and am currently attending VCU majoring in theatre with a concentration in stage management. I am expectedto graduate the spring of 2021. I grew up outside of Richmond in New Kent, VA. Where you're constantly surrounded around corn fields, the accents are THICK, and the people are the absolute sweetest! Now, I live in Richmond as I attend school!
My schooling is just the start of who I am and what I do with all of my time. Ever since I can remember I have always loved the power of storytelling. From poems to movies to performance art to photos, storytelling has the power to change minds, move people, and change the world. In the end, no matter what art form I am creating with, I want to be able to tell a story no matter how big or small.
I find enjoyment in the simple things, the purity within a situation or how one can make something out of nothing. Everything has a purpose, it is just up to you to figure out what it is and to find the beauty within everything.
Thank you so much for considering booking with me, please feel free to reach out with any pressing questions or concerns! (804)397-4556 // [email protected]
