“The Backyard on Thirteenth was the perfect venue for our welcome reception. They communicated very well throughout the entire planning process, and were incredibly flexible in working with us on different package options to fit our budget. The Backyard team helped us decorate and set up for our special day, and they worked closely with us on the timing to ensure the event went smoothly.

We couldn't have asked for a better partner to help make our wedding celebration so memorable.”

“We got married at the beautiful Swallow Creek Ranch at the end of May, and we are absolutely still soaking in the weekend. All of our vendors were amazing, but the venue itself, and especially Jonna and Reid, are the ones we are still talking about and gushing over! During our very first tour of SCR with Jonna, we knew it was the spot for us. The unique and jaw-dropping blue barn, the history of the property, the ocean views, the beautiful natural landscape, and the energy of the space were unforgettable. It was everything we had dreamed of for a Central Coast wedding. Not only was the venue a perfect match, but Jonna made choosing SCR a no-brainer. She and Reid made the entire planning process feel light, fun, and so authentic. We appreciated every part of our experience and truly cannot stop talking about how positive and special our time at SCR was.

This was essential as not everything can go as planned on your wedding day but I never knew about any of it and she worked fervently behind the scenes to keep it that way. As a hands on bride with a strong vision, I was comforted by how on top of everything Candice was. She was able to bring my ideas to life and the planning tools she utilizes ensure everyone is on the same page without things getting lost in countless email threads.

I grew up on California's Central Coast and obtained a minor in Photography from Cal Poly SLO. My love for photography started in high school and has always been my sole aspiration. As a photographer, I understand that photos hold cherished memories that last a lifetime. Whether it's with family, friends, or loved ones, photos capture precious moments that we can revisit time and time again. These snapshots serve as a visual reminder of the joys we've experienced and the people we've shared them with.

“If you’re looking for someone professional, funny, personable, and skilled, Andy is your guy! Getting quotes for photographers can be very intimidating and stressful. When I first reached out to Andy, I had a feeling that he was going to be the perfect match for us (and his price options are reasonable and affordable!). He kept in contact during the months leading up to our wedding, answering all of my questions and sending a list of questions for us to answer. We ended up pre-choosing what family/group pictures were most important to us and providing names. Andy had that list with him at our wedding and stuck to it, keeping us on schedule, but was willing to take on-the-spot added groups, too. He captured all of the moments that mattered to me, from the first look to the first dance. He took beautiful wedding party photos, posed and candid. He was very professional and able to take family group shots while being swarmed by hummingbirds. He made us laugh and smile. Even better, we received a small set of photos 2 days later, and all of the photos within 2 weeks. 11/10 would recommend!!”

“Kari did an amazing job of planning and coordinating our wedding. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, kind and always available to answer our questions and make suggestions about vendors and other details. We were planning from out of town, so having Kari was essential in our planning and I am certain it would have been a mess without her! She is well known and well respected within the wedding planning community in Paso and it was obvious that all of our vendors loved working with her. On our rainy wedding day, she and her team seamlessly moved our ceremony inside at the last minute and transformed the space into something truly gorgeous and magical with the beautiful winery vibes that we wanted while keeping everyone dry. They were then able to transform that same space for dinner. We didn't think it was possible for us and our families to have a relaxing day pre-wedding, especially with rain, but we truly did. Kari and her team took care of everything and kept everything on schedule with every detail attended to, and we didn't have to worry about anything. She also did our flowers which were gorgeous, reasonably priced and exactly what we had hoped for. Throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day, Kari and her team brought great style and energy that helped make our special day truly unforgettable and better than we could have ever imagined. We are so grateful for their hard work, attention to detail and would not hesitate to put your full trust in her and her team to create the wedding of your dreams! It was quite honestly the BEST money we spent on our wedding.”

Hi, I'm Sarah...your San Luis Obispo (and beyond) Wedding Photographer, and I’m obsessed with giving you the experience and photographs you deserve. After 15 years in the industry, I don't just show up to your wedding and snap photos. I’m here to listen to your vision, identify what’s important to you and then deliver an entire experience you'll love from start to finish. With me, you'll have the CONFIDENCE that I know exactly how to make all of your photos (yes, even those “posed ones”) tell the real – intimate, romantic, fun and adventurous – story of your day!

“From the moment we started working with Sarah at Mirror's Edge Photography, we knew we had made the best decision for our wedding day. Her communication style is simply the best ever - she was so communicative and so willing to listen to all of our ideas and preferences. Sarah went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident, building us up like no one else. I cannot recommend Sarah enough, she is amazing at what she does and makes you feel wonderful no matter what you use her for. I started with a boudoir shoot, then engagement photos and wedding photos...so clearly it worked! I've also used Sarah for family photos and will never use anyone else as long as she's working. Don't walk, run to Mirror's Edge Photography - you won't regret it!”

“I cannot recommend Natalie at Bellizzimo Beauty enough! Natalie and her team member did the hair and makeup for my wedding on 10-12-2024 in beautiful Avila Beach, and they were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They took care of myself, five bridesmaids, and hair for two additional guests, and every single one of us felt beautiful, confident, and so well taken care of. From my very first interaction with Natalie, to my trial run, and all the way through the wedding day, she was professional, responsive, kind, and incredibly talented. She made the entire experience fun, stress-free, and enjoyable. The energy she and her team brought to the day was exactly what every bride hopes for — calm, positive, organized, and FUN. Not only did everyone look gorgeous, but our hair and makeup held up beautifully throughout the entire day and evening. I’m so grateful we chose Bellizzimo Beauty to be part of such a special day. Highly recommend Natalie and her team for any bride looking to feel absolutely beautiful on her wedding day!”

Weddings have been a part of my life since I was six years old. Growing up as the youngest of eight cousins, someone was always getting married. The summer of my 21st birthday, I started my career with weddings at an Alaskan lodge hosting ten weddings that first summer. Since then I've worked in floral design, photography, & the food/wine industries. In 2017, I toured California working event logistics at five different festivals, including Coachella.

“Rose was so incredibly helpful and thoughtful in helping us curate a rooftop reception following our SF City Hall marriage. Her expertise in event planning lended so much insight into what was needed to organize the event in the weeks prior, and her team’s attention to detail made our rooftop event really feel like a celebration. She and her team not only handled set up, decorating, and takedown, but she also offered kindness and joy to us throughout our time working with her. We can’t thank Rose and her team enough for making our day feel special!”
