Welcome
Thank you for visiting our site. We are Vincent and Denise Paletta, founders and co-owners of Passion Art Photography, the San Francisco Bay Area's premiere wedding photographer. We love what we do! We have a passion for photojournalistic wedding and portrait photography. Our spontaneous and fun approach to photography enables us to photograph weddings, Quinceañera, sweet 16, engagements, anniversaries, corporate parties, birthday parties, children and family portraits, as they truly are. We are as passionate in front of the camera as we are behind the camera. We are personable and attentive, which enables us to create images filled with emotion and intimacy. This coupled with our personal approach to photography, attention to detail and devotion to quality portraits have resulted in many pleased brides, grooms clients and families.

Passion Art Photography captures weddings, events, engagements, family and children portraits throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and the world, photographing in San Jose, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, Berkeley, Livermore, Cancun, Cabo, Hawaii and everywhere in between.
Whether you are looking for a photographer for complete wedding day coverage, an engagement session, or a family portrait we will assist you in photographing your memories for life. Our slogan says it all “Your photographer for Life!."
Whatever your needs, Passion Art Photography is your personal photographer.
Although we have set prices and basic packages, we can customize our services to fit your needs and your budget. Investing in your photography is investing in your memories. After your event is over what you really take from it are the photographs that hang on the wall and the photographs displayed in your album. It is extremely important to us that you get a final product you can happily display, that's why all our packages include print/album credits. The print/album credits allow you to choose what you want and need, not what we think you need/want. We have a vast array of album styles for you to choose from. All of our albums are custom design for you with your input.
We also know it is extremely important that your photographer gets to know you and you get to know your photographer. That's why all our packages also include a free engagement/pre-session, we use this time to take great shots of you and to get to know you, how you interact with your future wife/husband and how you react to the camera. It also gives you the opportunity see how we work first hand before that important day!
We also offer a complimentary post session, many of our clients use that for family portraits, maternity photos and anniversary portraits. We want you to always consider us when you are planning all life's events. We will be "your photographer for life."
We are also available for your destination wedding!!! Schedule your consultation today by calling: 408-417-8324

We are always available to answer your photography questions and discuss your wedding, event and portrait photography needs.

A little note from Vince~
Photos are priceless.
I have had a passion for photography since 1985 when I picked up my first camera, a Canon, in high school. Throughout my life my passion for people and photos have drawn me into this photographic way of life. Everything I look at, I see a picture. I suppose my passion for art and photography comes from my family. As a child, my mother would show me sunsets and beauty in the sky. My father pointed out the beauty in the garden and in people. My wife showed me the beauty of my children and so many other things, particularly sunflowers. I have found the only way to truly preserve the beauty around us is to stop time with a photo. It is so important to capture those events that are vital to us. So please allow me the pleasure to seize the moment that will make you smile or cry that you can share with generations to come.
Please feel free to contact me at 408-417-8324 or vincent@passionartphotography.com. Thanks for stopping by!

A little note from Denise~
I joined Vince in 2004. I started out preparing financial information and running the office. I somehow worked my way into carrying bags and cameras. Every once in a while I would take a shot here and there and Vince would show me a little about the camera. Eventually, I was shooting right along side Vince. I love what we do!!
We are often asked the question, “What is your style of photography?” Our response is we are a "moment Photographer." We capture moments, sometimes those moments are posed formal shoots, sometimes they are candid moments that just come about and sometimes, we have to create those moments. The beauty of it is we are versatile. And when we shoot together we are a great balance.

This is my family in 2009. Denise is my number 1 assistant/photographer. She is normally the one to make sure that your day is one that will never be forgotten. Amanda and Athena are my assistants in training and the light of our lives!

This is my family in 2012! Wow how time flies! We put these two photos together to show you the importance of taking regular family photos! Amanda has joined our team and is assisting us at weddings. She has some amazing work! Athena is dying to join us, but needs to wait a little longer, however she has been doing lots of editing for us!

We love our clients and our clients love us! We always treat our clients like family!(vince has apple cider, just in case you are wondering!)

You see me a lot like this. Mostly behind the camera. "I just want to take great pictures!" Thank you to all the people that have allowed me to capture their love, their passion and their lives. :)
Your photographer for life!
