Hi There! I'm Katherine (or Kay!). I've loved weddings for as long as I could remember and I believe I have one of the best jobs in the whole world. I love being able to capture moments from one of the best days of a couples lives and I get to do it alongside my best friend, my Husband. You could call us nerds; we love Harry Potter, puzzles and video games. Our favorite vacation spot is definitely Las Vegas and we both love good Mexican food. 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 will leave you not only 100% satisfied with your photos, but also like you gained a new friend. Do yourself a favor & hire her!!!!!

Vic was an AMAZING photographer for our wedding, we could not have possibly picked better. My entire family loved her, and she made them laugh so much- which was amazing considering some of us were nervous! She got to the venue and immediately had ideas for what shots to take, which helped me so much considering I hadn’t really planned what I wanted photos to look like. They came out amazingly. She captured every part of the evening, and the edits we got back are beautiful. I love the way the gallery is set up to make choosing photos easier and to ask for more later, or keep unedited versions too. Thanks to Vic I will have those special memories forever!

Randall de Leon Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Carpinteria, CA

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t say enough great things about Randall! Our journey with him started when he captured our surprise proposal, and from that moment, we knew he was the perfect photographer for us. He also did our engagement photos, and when it came time to choose a wedding photographer, it was an easy decision—it just felt right to have him document another milestone in our lives. Randall is not only incredibly talented, but he also made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. His style perfectly captures who we are, and we love how natural and authentic his photos feel. He was also so accommodating, even when we made last-minute changes to our engagement shoot location. We are beyond grateful for the beautiful moments he captured, and we know that when the time comes for future milestones, Randall will be our go-to photographer. Highly recommend!

I've always had a love for color and light, and a passion for landscapes and people. Ever since highschool and into college photography was just something that, no pun intended, caught my eye. I've been shooting weddings for 6 years now and there's nothing Id rather be doing. I'm married to the love of my life Rachel, sandwiches are my favorite food and I love long walks on the beach. Seriously I do :)

From the moment we booked Dylan Kyle Photography, we knew we were in good hands. We chose to get married at a location across the country where we had never even visited. When I first spoke with Dylan he was extremely helpful with details I may need to consider in the area, as well as recommendations for leisure activities and must-see spots! Dylan was incredibly responsive, adaptable, and understanding throughout the entire planning process. His communication style put us at ease, and his high-quality, gorgeous work exceeded our expectations. Dylan and Rachel guided us through the day with ease and were even helpful with non-photography things, like teaching us how to properly cut the cake! I always freeze in front of the camera, but they were great at coaching us during the posed photos, and the candid shots we have are ones I'm obsessed with. We have a wide variety of beautiful photos to choose from, and I would recommend Dylan Kyle Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Truly, using their services was the best wedding decision we made - they made the day perfect.

From first contact to wedding day, I am so happy to have chosen Elle and Co. and specifically Dani.  I couldn't be happier with communication, energy, and direction while taking photos.  Our Colorado elopement was beautiful and Dani helped with every step including finding a wonderful spot.  She kept us updated on weather and timeline so we had nothing to worry about and even hyped us up beforehand.  During my boudoir shoot she made extra effort to make me comfortable since I've never done anything like that before.  The pictures were so good and made the perfect wedding day gift for my new hubby.  Highly recommend Elle and Co. to anyone who has photography needs but especially if you think you might want to elope to a gorgeous spot and do a private event or if you want to take some boudoir type photos for a special gift.  She goes above and beyond with everything she does and you can't do better.  Thanks Dani!!

Hi, I’m Gui Bittencourt — a Brazilian photographer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, specializing in multicultural and mixed-culture weddings. I create beautiful, original images and films, but what couples remember most is how they felt around me: calm, supported, and completely at ease. With seven years of experience and all five-star reviews, I bring a friendly, grounded presence to your day — the kind that helps you relax, enjoy the moment, and trust that everything is being captured with care.

Awarded Best of Zola
We discovered Gui on Zola and reached out because of his experience with photographing marriages for various cultures and from various backgrounds. Gui's photographs also caught our eye as there were great candid shots to capture the moment and sweet posed ones. When we met with Gui over zoom to get to know each other, he was kind, responsive, and knowledgable. Gui helped put us at ease, and it was a fairly quick decision to go with him after we met. We did an engagement photo session with Gui. He was very flexible when the park we wanted to do the session at was closed. We were able to pivot, and Gui took incredible photos in the new location. Gui also did not pressure us always asking if we were okay with the poses, but adjusting us for better shots. We were so happy with the engagement photos. On the day of the wedding, Gui was prompt and punctual. We took a few shots before the ceremony. During the ceremony, Gui captured all the key moments, but we also received compliments from our guests that he did not distract or take away from teh ceremony. Gui did great with the family photos and was very gracious in the many photos with friends during the reception. We cannot recommend Gui enough. His demeanor helped to relieve any stress around the photos both during the engagement session and the wedding. Gui's experience with many different couples has helped him develop cultural sensitivity which he uses to capture and highlight the unique moments of their ceremony. Thank you so much, Gui, for all your help during the wedding.

Hire Lo. You won't regret it. Not only does she know what she is doing in terms of getting all the planned shots, she got incredible candid shots and live shots of my groom and I, our families, and our guests. As we've been looking back so far at our pictures, we get to relive the emotion of the day. It's the intangible thing that an incredible photographer can do--capture the emotion. I can feel our joy radiating out of our photos and I am so grateful I hired Lo. Years from now we are going to get to experience this day over-and-over because the quality of her photos is incredible. The variety of shots she was able to get makes it seem like she had second shooter (but she's just that good). Our first look was perfect. She made sure we got some golden hour shots and then got us right back to dinner so we could eat. She also is incredible at giving minor adjustment tips to make sure we weren't doing anything weird with our hands lol. Additionally, and this was big for me, working with her ahead of the wedding she reminded me how to be excited for this day. Wedding planning was stressful, but every time I got to talk to Lo she got me back to a place of being excited and joyful. The day-of when she showed up, she helped make sure we had everything covered, and kept me calm even when some things went wrong. I felt like I not only had a great photographer, but a friend who had my back and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. I am so glad we hired Lo. My groom teared up looking back at some of these photos. Hire Lo!

Hi!! I’m Karmen. Your photographer, memory-keeper, and calm presence on your biggest day. I don’t just take pictures, I preserve what it felt like. Life moves fast, and my mission is to freeze the laughter, tears, and quiet glances into images you’ll treasure forever. My style blends documentary storytelling with editorial artistry. I’ll guide you when needed, then fade into the background to capture the moments you don’t even notice. No stiff posing, just playful, romantic prompts. I’m driven by creating something beautiful and serving others with intention. Your love is sacred, your confidence matters, and your story is your legacy.

We hired Karmen (KNCAPTURES) for our San Diego wedding and truly couldn’t be happier with that decision. From our very first call, she made us feel seen and heard — not just like another couple in the queue. We ended up choosing her biggest package because we wanted the engagement session and the custom wedding album, and both ended up being so worth it. The engagement session helped us get comfortable in front of the camera, and Karmen brought out such natural moments between us that we still get compliments on those photos. On the wedding day, she was calm, professional, and somehow everywhere at once. She captured everything — the emotional, the fun, the in-between — and delivered it all in her signature cinematic, timeless style. What really blew us away was the hardback album we worked on together after the wedding. Karmen helped us narrow down our favorites and designed something that felt truly personal. It’s sitting on our coffee table and we flip through it all the time — it tells the story of our day perfectly.

If you are getting married in SoCal, and it’s important to you to find a team of photographers that make you feel comfortable and make your love shine through the camera, look no further than Peterson Design Photography . Marissa and Tim are not only a great team, communicators and photographers, but they are also pretty awesome to talk to; before, during and after your event. They took great care with our angles and personalities, they really made us shine with joy while taking photos, even when we are far from ideal models. Marissa had impeccable communication to make sure no detail is left to chance, and that was so reassuring to a type-a like me that had tons of checklists and picture inspiration. Being honest, we won a giveaway and didn’t do an economic investment for our elopement, but the value in all their work makes me confident in saying that they are worth it, that YOU and YOUR event are worth the investment, to get pictures that truly capture the real emotions of the day. We are so grateful to Marissa and Tim, and would trust them a million times again with our most precious day

My name is Haley Wilde and I am a digital and 35mm film photographer based in Southern California. I specialize in all things surrounding love because I am a sucker for a good old fashioned love story. I would absolutely love to not only capture you love, but truly celebrate alongside you. I was a wedding planner for 3+ years prior to photography, so my knowledge and genuine passion for the wedding industry and serving my couples sets me apart from other photographers!

We cannot recommend Haley enough for your wedding photography needs! We discovered Haley through Instagram and were immediately impressed by her work. From our very first interaction, Haley was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Haley made the photography aspect seamless. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera, but Haley's friendly and calming demeanor put us completely at ease during our engagement shoot. She took the time to understand our personalities and preferences, which really showed in the photos. On our wedding day, Haley was a true professional. She was patient, took initiative when needed, capturing all the most precious moments—from our first look with our grandparents to our private vows. The photos turned out beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the way she documented our special day. If you're looking for a photographer who not only captures stunning images but also makes you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process, Haley is the one. Whether it's engagements, weddings, or any other special event, Haley's talent and dedication shine through. Don't hesitate to hire her—you won't regret it!
