Dennis Viera is an international, award-winning wedding photographer dually based between San Francisco, California and Dunedin, New...aland. At the age of 15 when Dennis was working as a busboy in his hometown of Newport, Rhode Island, he found a lost camera. He turned it in and anxiously waited the 90 day wait period until it was his. That's how it all began. Whilst pursuing a Media Studies degree at the University of San Diego, he started pursuing his love for photography more seriously by photographing for his college newspaper. At that point, he handed himself over to photography - devouring everything the medium had to offer and exploring his passion for visual story telling. Dennis loves photographing urban culture, fashion, editorial, and architecture and weddings give him the opportunity to weave together everything he's ever learned or experienced to tell each client's story in a unique way.
Viera Photography is a partnership with his wife, Jaime - and they photograph every job together. When Dennis isn't busy photographing or travelling, he can be found hanging out with his son Alex, surfing, fishing, buying records, and taking more pictures.

I have had a passion for photography ever since I was young. Many years ago, I was asked to photograph a family member's wedding. When...ople saw the images, they were amazed. I was then asked to shoot for a friend, and the requests began to grow. So I left my formal education and job as a scientist to pursue this avenue.
Applying my professional background as a scientist, I believe has been a big advantage as a photographer. I look at my environment, people, and the world much more critically. I have learned in my science training to think several steps ahead and that has been a great asset as a wedding photographer, being able to anticipate.
Having spent time photographing in places as far away as the People's Republic of China, the passion has grown deeper and deeper. I formally started my photography business in 2006 and haven't looked back. Read More
