“Toby has done my daughter’s newborn photos and other Christmas time photos of our family. He always makes us feel so comfortable. Recently he did our family photos again and we tried a new venue - the beach. The outcome brought me to tears! I was so impressed with his ability to get our daughter’s personality and to capture the moments of love between us. It is truly endearing and memories we will cherish for a lifetime.”

Intertwine Films is a photo + video team capturing weddings as they actually unfold. Real moments, real energy, zero forced vibes. We focus on connection over perfection, movement over posing, and stories that feel lived-in, emotional, and timeless. If it felt big to you, it matters to us.

“I first discovered Intertwine Films while researching videographers who had worked at our venue, Circle Oak Ranch in Fallbrook, CA. Right away, I fell in love with their ability to capture raw emotion and weave it into a genuine, beautifully told story. When it came to our own wedding, they exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, Bryan, Ray, and Kevin were incredible to work with. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and sheer artistry are unmatched. On the wedding day, Ray and Kevin handled on-site filming and worked seamlessly alongside our photographer. They were completely unobtrusive, letting the day flow naturally while still finding those intimate, fleeting moments to capture special shots. We couldn’t be happier with the final videos—the 1-minute highlight reel, the breathtaking 5-minute cinematic “movie,” and having the raw footage to relive every memory. The emotion, storytelling, and quality they delivered are simply magical. I’ve honestly rewatched our films almost daily (sometimes multiple times a day!). If you are looking for a wedding videographer who will treat your story with care, creativity, and incredible skill, book Intertwine Films. Thank you, Bryan, Ray, and Kevin!”

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

“Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!”

I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

I am a documentary wedding photographer blended with an editorial approach, and I aim to capture those special moments naturally as they unfold. I'm inspired by the genuine affection my clients have towards each other and look to document & craft your wedding photos with a candid eye. I don't want to dictate your day but let you enjoy your day. I may suggest small things like shooting portraits when the light is perfect, such as when the sun is going down, or I'll suggest taking a moment to embrace your partner & remind you to be affectionate on your wedding day. It's how I ensure you get beautiful natural images full of emotion.

“Jesus was our wedding photographer for our special day. From our first interaction, Jesus showed confidence in his experience as a wedding photographer. He took the time to understand what I imagined my wedding photos would look like that is how he carefully planned, & captured my wedding photos. Jesus arrived 1 week early before the wedding day to scout out locations, shared photos with us, and seamlessly incorporated them into our timeline. We felt like we not only had a talented photographer, but also a day-of coordinator who helped ensure our wedding day ran smoothly. He made sure we not only captured the photos we would love but also took the time and went above and beyond to take care of us as people, offering to get water and making sure we had drinks or food. Ive never had an experience with another wedding photographer but I imagine its not a level of service thats common in the industry. The variety and quality of the final photos exceeded our expectations, and we are extremely happy to have such beautiful, and meaningful heirlooms from our celebration. We highly recommend Candid Moment Photo to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.”

“TLDR: we highly recommend McCoy Wedding Photography! We were referred to Kay McCoy through a friend who had amazing wedding photos so we knew her services could be trusted. She also photographed another wedding for someone we knew and those photos looked great as well. The entire process was easy from start to finish and it was a pleasant wedding photography experience. The photos were delivered in about 8 weeks, and they turned out perfectly! Kay captured a great variety of shots throughout the day, including some creative and artistic exposure photos that added a unique touch to our gallery. We didn’t want traditional, overly bright, or boring photos, and Kay really delivered something special. The overall quality, professionalism, and turnaround time exceeded our expectations. We’re so glad we chose her to capture such an important day. You won’t be disappointed!”

“From our first message, Candid Celebrations responded quickly and made the whole process feel easy. We loved having the photographer at our bridal shower—she has such a warm personality that everyone felt comfortable around her. She captured candid moments throughout the day that we didn't even know were happening, and now those photos are some of our favorites. The quality of her work is fantastic, and the value we got was incredible. We will forever cherish the photos she took and would absolutely recommend Candid Celebrations to any couple looking for a photographer who is both professional and genuinely fun to have around.”
