We could not have asked for a more talented and professional photographer for our Wedding in July 2021, Christina is truly wonderful! Instantly, we were drawn to Christina's vivid and colorful photos and knew that would be a perfect match for our wedding (and personalities). From our initial consultation to the day of our wedding, Christina provided us with guidance (from locations to what outfits photograph best) to ensure that we would have the best photos. We really appreciated her honesty, but also willingness to capture what was truly special to us. Her flexibility and assurance during a planning season fraught by Covid regulations always put us at ease. And lastly, our photos were simply stunning and we will treasure them forever.

Photography had always been a love of mine but in 2020 I decided to quit my 9-5 job and start this full-time adventure! I am now a full-time wedding & lifestyle photographer & love every minute of it. Capturing special moments & delivering quality photos to clients is extremely rewarding, and I genuinely enjoy it. I currently live in Aptos but I also serve the surrounding areas of the Monterey Bay region and I am ready to travel wherever needed.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Deanna for our private elopement in the forest, and her exceptional talent left us utterly enchanted. From the moment we met her, her professionalism and personable nature set the stage for a picture-perfect wedding day. Deanna possesses a remarkable eye for detail and a unique ability to create a comfortable and warm atmosphere. We were nervous to invite a photographer to our intimate elopement, but Deanna’s friendly demeanor instantly put us at ease. It felt like having a dear friend capturing our most precious moments. What truly stood out was Deanna’s skill in translating our love story into stunning visual narratives. Every photograph she took was a masterpiece, reflecting not just the wedding but also the emotions and intimacy of the day. Deanna effortlessly navigated the challenges of our unique outdoor setting, and the result was a collection of images that surpassed our expectations and will undoubtedly be cherished for a lifetime. Choosing Deanna was one of the best decisions we made for our elopement. Her dedication to her craft, coupled with her genuine passion for capturing love stories, makes her a standout photographer. We wholeheartedly recommend Deanna to anyone seeking not just a photographer but a true artist who can beautifully encapsulate the essence of their special day. -Austin and Aaron

Monterey, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,900

As a wedding photographer, my connection to my couples is more important to me than anything else. Serving couples getting married in dreamy wedding locations, whether it’s a vineyard in Carmel Valley or a beach wedding in Monterey, fills my heart with so much joy. It’s always a thrill to return to venues I love, but with nearly 100 weddings in my portfolio, it still surprises me how different each and every wedding day truly is. The menu you choose, the music you dance to, the color palette that inspires you - it all comes together on your wedding day to tell your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Dana Arnold was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. She was not only professional throughout the entire process, but felt like a friend for during the entirety of our wedding day. The moments she captured for our day (and engagement pictures) were so perfect. We would highly recommend Dana for any photography needs because she will exceed your expectations.

My style of photography is rooted in photojournalism, influenced by the fine arts. The result is creative, clean, and crisp wedding photography that’s romantic, emotional, and lively. I transform your wedding day mementos into personalized works of art while also capturing subtle yet powerful expressions as they naturally unfold.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had read in a wedding magazine that you should hire a photographer who feels like a friend so that you are happy they are there on the day. Danieka met me for coffee in Monterey before we signed our contract and she was SO nice. Once we signed the contract, she started to send me recommendations for other vendors, suggested wedding timelines, and little pieces of advice she had picked up from other weddings (not too often - just 3-4 really informative emails throughout the year that we were planning and she was really responsive if I had questions). On the wedding day, she was prompt, really kind and struck an incredible balance between making sure that we had the pictures we wanted, but also that we were able to enjoy the day and not spend too much time taking pictures. I felt so happy she was there. Now, one week after our wedding, with just the pictures to look back on, we are SO happy that we booked her.

Hi, I'm Jenn Petty. I'm a wedding photographer based in Monterey, California and I travel worldwide capturing all people's love stories. I believe in equality, representation, and being kind to everyone. I believe in promoting self-love, confidence, body-neutrality, and general badassery into each of my clients. You don't need to always love your body or the way you look because that's just not realistic. But you shouldn't let it hold you back from enjoying life because you're so amazing and so so much more than your weight

After we took our engagement photos with Jenn I knew it was a match made in heaven…. She was such a professional and made us both feel very at ease. We aren’t huge on posing for pictures for hours, but Jenn and her team made it super fun and relaxed! She gave us plenty of tips and direction on how to pose, but also allowed us to have some really genuine moments that were captured absolutely perfectly!! After working with her for our engagement session, I felt so at ease leading up to the wedding knowing she was going to capture everything I wanted (plus more!!). She truly made my wedding day run so smoothly, it wouldn’t have been nearly as relaxing and stress free if it weren’t for her. From helping with timelines, to making adjustments for a rainy morning…and stepping in literally wherever she was needed, I truly felt like she had my back! Jenn and her team (shout out JoJo and Leslie - y’all are the best!) are truly amazing and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

I'm endlessly optimistic, love traveling, and am always on the search for the perfect cocktail. I am very much a dog person, I try to see the good in every day, I believe that guacamole is wonderful but also that cilantro is awful (#teamsoap). I'm lighthearted and try not to take life too seriously. I strive to live a life where I work to live not live to work. I love what I do... I love the people that have been brought into my life through my camera, the lasting friendships that have formed, the wonderful places they bring me to, and the beautiful love stories I've been witness to.

We wanted a wedding that felt like a fairytale, full of magic moments. But we were unsure if we could find someone who could capture that on photo and video. Aladdin Films made it real for us. They got all the nice details, like the soft lights in the evening and the joyful laughter outside. Everything that made our day special, from the flowers in the center of the aisle at the ceremony, to the smiles of my parents during my brother's speech. They've captured them all. When I showed the video to my parents and friends, my parents cried, my friends cried, I cried, because of how incredible the video captured our special day. It felt like all that happened moments ago, and I'm sure it will give the same feeling for years to come! ;) Aladdin Films turned our wedding into a lovely fairytale!

As your wedding photographer, a significant part of my role is to consider the fine art aspects of the galleries I create. Things like choosing the best light to fall over your wedding gown, balancing compositions, blending color, and layering textures to create dynamic and beautiful images. But it's much bigger than that. Photographs tell our stories, reveal emotion in ways that words can't, and offer the gift of visual legacy. An artfully told story transcends time. Beautiful photographs require exceptional artists. And you deserve exceptional art.

I had the great pleasure of working with Nicole for an event at Kings River Winery in Dec. 2021. We had a pretty complicated family situation during this event that could have caused issues for the timeline. But Nicole was able to help keep the bride moving and calm. And kept up with the timeline like a champ! Rolling with the punches is such a great trait for a wedding vendor to have because events can take on a life of their own. Nicole was able to keep up with the events needs and still completed her job fabulously. Additionally after the event she was lovely enough to send over a vendor gallery that does wonders for other business. Which shows her understanding of the nature of our industry, her care for others and her ability to work well with others. If I could give more stars I would!

I hired Dylan for my wedding on October 8th, 2022 and if I could only use one word to describe Dylan and his work, it would be… Phenomenal! From day one he was quick to respond, professional and so fun to work with! Leading up to the wedding, he was super helpful with any questions I had about the timeline or what to expect. The day of the wedding, he was on time and everything ran so smoothly that I knew I didn’t have to worry about a thing! He definitely knows what he is doing and caught everything in his photos that I didn’t want to miss and more. When I received my photos after only two months, every detail and guest was captured in such a beautiful way. It was so special to relive the big day all over again through his amazing work. A fond memory I will always have was when Dylan and his second shooter (Patrick) were capturing our sunset photos at the end of the day. We had so much fun with them and we were all making so many jokes. I believe that is what made those photos so much more fun and special to me, not to mention gorgeous too! Thank you Dylan for being apart of our special day and for capturing all of the most beautiful memories of our wedding!

Working with Natalie as our photographer for our wedding was like working with your best friend (I'm serious). She made us laugh the entire time, got just as excited as I did (if not more) over details for the flat lay, and was the perfect match for my husband's sarcasm. What more could you want in a photographer? What drew me, initially, to Natalie was her bright and light photos that captured candid moments beautifully. My husband and I have a very fun-loving personality and to find a photographer that captured every laugh was an instant-win. Natalie took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we could not be happier, as every photo was absolutely amazing and told a story throughout the engagement session and wedding. I will always look back on these photos with the biggest smile on my face, because they are simply beautiful. You can tell that she is painstakingly meticulous in curating the perfect gallery for you and that she loves her couples. If you're thinking of hiring Natalie for your wedding, do not hesitate. She was an absolute dream to work with and I hope we can work together in the future!

We have two fur babies; Bella and Betsy and yes they are so spoiled. The Husband, Abraham (or Bram) is also an engineer when he's not capturing weddings and a Cal Poly alum.

Kay and Bram were an absolute joy to work with! It also helped they are total dog lovers like my husband and I, and captured the absolute best images of our boy, Maverick. I don’t think there was one moment where we were NOT smiling or laughing around these two, and it put my anxious mind completely at ease. They are affordable, hard-working, and completely matched our photography vision (lighter) for our most important day. I don’t think there are enough words to express my gratitude for the talent these two possess, but for now…thank you, Kay and Bram, for everything you have done for us. We truly adore you and are so lucky to have befriended you! - Chelsea, Neal, and Mav

Sebastian was a huge part of our wedding day and the planning process. From the moment we met him a year before our wedding day for our engagement photos, we knew we picked the right photographer for us. We fell in love with his quality of work, work ethic, and personality. He coached us with posing, and we were comfortable taking his direction. The vision he has comes to life candidly in the photos, and after three photo sessions with him, I cannot pick a favorite because they're all uniquely beautiful. Our first session was our engagement session, which I wanted to do on a boat in the Keys because it's a special place and hobby for us so I thought it would be a personal touch and photos we could cherish forever. He was all about the idea and didn't nickel and dime us, which often happens as you plan this very personal event. I prioritized finding vendors who truly love what they do and are invested in their couple, not just the event, and Sebastian is just that! I am forever grateful to my planner for connecting me to him, and I hope to work with him for many more life moments.

Our photographs have been featured in renowned publications such as People Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides, Out Magazine, USA Today, California Wedding Day, and more.

As a colleague, it was a always a joy to arrive to an event to find that Todd was the photographer - his warm demeanor and kindness made every event we collaborated on extra special. Couples clearly adored him - I've known clients who returned to Todd after their weddings for family portraits, baby showers, birth announcements and all the other life milestones that he helps to commemorate with gorgeous photographs. I have recommended Todd to my dearest friends and cannot say enough good things about his incredible eye, warm presence and commitment to his craft.   When it came time to have my own wedding, there was no one else I could have imagined capturing the details of the day.

As a very shy person, I was nervous about being photographed but Todd put me at my ease immediately and managed to make me feel relaxed, calm and centered enough to enjoy the day. Todd has a wonderful eye for composition and capturing the most beautiful and touching candid moments. As part of my getting ready photos, Todd took a picture of of me petting my beloved cat and that black and white photo is still one of my favorite photographs ever - both because it captures something intimately personal with deep significance, but also because it is a gorgeously composed work of art.   In addition to making beautiful photos, Todd's warmth, good humor and palpable love for his work make him a dream to work with. It's impossible not to smile around Todd, not just because he's taking your picture, but because his gentle energy makes you feel completely at your ease and cared for - his own smile radiates joy.

However, when I received my GORGEOUS photos from Taylor, it meant the world to me to have something beautiful, over the top, and PERFECT during a time when so many things have taken unexpected turns.

I am a wife to my rock, my goofy dance partner, my best friend. I am a mama to Parker and doggy mommy to Dunken who is constantly chasing both of them around yelling "YOU'RE SO CUTE LET ME SQUEEZE YOU!!"... true story.

When we were planning for our wedding almost a year ago, it was so important to find a photographer we loved and were able to completely trust. We immediately knew after our initial phone conversation with Tyler that we didn’t need to look any further. Tyler isn’t just a photographer...she does SO MUCH more. Our wedding venue ended up canceling on us midway through this year. I was devastated but Tyler was there every step of the way and ALWAYS accommodating. She answered texts and was always available...even if it was asking for advice on bridesmaids dress colors. We ended up deciding to elope with family in an intimate beach setting. Tyler helped pick a venue and led the entire step of the way. I never felt like I was just another bride to Tyler. My grandparents who weren’t able to attend got to relive the day through our photos which is something I’ll cherish forever. We look at our photos almost daily and stare at them in awe...nonetheless, Tyler gave us a sneak peek in about 24hrs!!!

Destination Wedding & Elopement Photographer for the couples who are down to earth, like to have fun, and want beautiful photos too. Capturing your most authentic selves and the in between moments is what I strive for.

Planning a wedding and then covid ruining half of your plans is stressful and complicated. We got engaged in 2018 and I booked Pegi right away after seeing her amazing pictures from a friends wedding. We were supposed to be married 12/31/20 and it would have been Pegis first New Years Eve wedding. She was so excited and booking her was the easiest thing I ever done. Unfortunately, covid had other plans. Our wedding at our venue was postponed but we decided to do a small wedding with our immediate family and friends. Pegi was on board for our postponement date and offered to shoot our wedding on New Years Eve. She was AMAZING. I knew I hired the right person. Five months later was our “real” wedding. May 8th 2021. Pegi was in communication with me constantly and answered any questions I had. She had us in a precise timeline and it worked out perfectly. I was able to get every picture I wanted and make my cocktial hour. She knew what we wanted and I love that she took the most candid shots of us. My entire family and friends can’t stop talking about how incredible she was to everyone all night. She even came out on the dance floor with us and had so much fun. So far she has sent me a sneak pack, two days later, and I’m obsessed. I will be using her for the future and recommending her to every couple I know!!! Thank you so much Pegi for everything. Words can’t express how much we appreciate you, especially during Covid. We love you! Love, the Boesenhofers

There's an old Italian proverb which says: "A woman born beautiful is born betrothed." I say all brides are beautiful and that's why I think I fall in love a little bit with each of my brides. It's hard not to. I love women. When they are in their wedding day "mode" they're irresistible. Glowing and smiling and pouring out such wonderful energy I'd almost shoot wedding photography for free just to ride the endorphins. Almost.

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

We have two young boys and my older of the two can be very shy and grumpy during pictures. Not with Candace! She has kiddos of her own and connected so quickly with my children! They felt right at home the entire time! Her photos are timeless! I constantly get compliments on how beautiful my family looks in our photos and have her to thank for that! She truly knows how to capture the moment! Her attention to detail is superb!!! We’ve definitely found our forever photographer!” -Kala W.

I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

She is very thorough about all the details of your wedding day. It was also like having an experienced wedding planner in my back pocket.

(And I’m known for being a shy person) I thought I had all the details planned for my wedding day, however I did not and Emily was right there with me going over the smallest of details that made a huge difference. the. day. of. my. wedding. She makes whoever she is working with feel super confident, giggly, and relaxed. She was always checking in with me the months leading up to my wedding, which was awesome. Most of the time she would reach out first which I appreciate because I was planning my own wedding and was super overwhelmed as it was. So she made me feel reassured and excited at the same time. She genuinely is excited about your event that she is documenting. You can easily see from her work and her ethic just how passionate and talented she is.
