Hi, we're Dakota & Jadrian Cardenas!
We’re a husband and wife photography team based in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, with a passion for capturing the stories, people, and moments that matter most.
From the arena to the aisle, our photography takes us everywhere. We photograph PRCA rodeos, western events, weddings, equine sessions, portraits, and commercial work for clients throughout Wisconsin, across the United States, and beyond.
Our journey started with a love for photography and the western lifestyle. Over the years, that passion has grown into a business built around capturing authentic moments, whether it’s the split-second action of a rodeo, the emotions of a wedding day, or the personality behind a brand.
When we’re not behind the camera, you’ll usually find us riding horses, traveling, or spending time with our dogs Harley, Aspen, and Cleo, along with our cats Melvin and Chai.
Follow along with our Rodeo Bound & Beyond blog as we share stories from the road, behind-the-scenes moments, and the adventures that continue to shape Cardenas Captures.
