  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Guadalupe, CA

Authentic documentary wedding photography for couples who value real emotions over perfect poses. Honest, timeless images with a film - inspired feel, capturing the quiet moments, genuine connections, and meaningful details that make your wedding day uniquely yours.

“We cannot say enough great things about Igor. Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions for us, and he completely exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, Igor was incredibly easy to work with. He was responsive, professional, and really took the time to understand what we wanted. On the wedding day, he brought such a calm and positive energy that made everything feel effortless. He guided us when needed but also captured so many natural, candid moments without us even realizing it. What truly sets Igor apart is his ability to tell a story through his photos. Every image feels intentional, emotional, and beautifully composed. Nothing feels forced or overly posed. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again. We also got so many compliments from our guests about how great he was to work with. He made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which really shows in the photos. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about capturing your day in the most authentic way, we highly recommend Igor. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.”

I'm a California native with a wanderlusting soul. I grew up in the snowy mountains of Lake Tahoe and spent my teenage years in the rainforests of Costa Rica before returning to the West Coast of the United States to study the art of wedding photography and earn my BFA with Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California.

Awarded Best of Zola
“From start to finish, Grace was a calming, warm presence - the whole time we worked with her I felt like we were in excellent hands. She gently directed us without being "posed" or pushy. No notes. Like any engaged person, I felt some anxiety about photos since that's the thing that you get to actually "keep" after your big day. When I tell you, not only do we look like freaking movie stars in all Grace's photos, she PERFECTLY captured the EMOTION of the moment. If you didn't know better, you would think our wedding pictures were a People Magazine Exclusive or something. Just as valuable as the photos themselves was Grace's kind attitude and willingness to work with us on what we needed. It ended up raining on our courthouse day and she not only rolled with it, but got INCREDIBLE photos to boot! Long story short: HIRE GRACE!”

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

“Daniel was truly incredible to work with from start to finish. I met with so many photographers before choosing him because I was very specific about what I wanted. I wasn’t looking for standard wedding photography. I wanted photos that felt cinematic, cool, and unique to us, and Daniel more than delivered. Our engagement shoot was SO much fun and immediately made us even more excited to have him there on our wedding day. He made us feel comfortable, kept everything easy and natural, and the photos were exactly the vibe I had been searching for. Then came the wedding day, and somehow he exceeded our expectations again. We had a pretty wild group of bridesmaids and groomsmen, and Daniel handled all of the chaos without missing a beat. He went with the energy, kept things moving, and genuinely seemed to be having fun right along with us. What stood out most, though, was how much Daniel actually cared. He never felt like someone who was simply there to take photos and leave. He cared about our day, our story, and capturing the moments that actually felt like us. That meant so much to both of us. I told him from the beginning that I didn’t want standard wedding photos. I wanted iconic wedding photos, and that is exactly what you get with Daniel. We couldn’t recommend him more.”

With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, I believe your wedding day deserves to be remembered as more than a collection of moments — it should feel like a rich story, with visceral emotions coursing through each scene. As a former wedding planner turned photographer, I document each chapter with an editorial eye and a genuine heart. My approach is guided by light and emotion, both intentional and effortless. Every image is composed with purpose, full of honesty and elegance, and alive with feeling. Your story is already extraordinary. My work ensures it’s remembered that way — beautifully, and forever.

“I had such an incredible experience working with Leslie! She is truly detail-oriented, remembering every single thing I mentioned and making sure my vision came to life. She’s so down-to-earth and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. During our engagement shoot, she guided us effortlessly, showing us how to pose in a way that felt natural and comfortable. We're both not usually in front of the camera so I worried that it would be hard but with Leslie, we felt so confident, had an amazing time and the pictures she captured were absolutely stunning! Everything about working with her, from her easy-to-use portal to her beautifully designed website, was seamless. She is not only an amazing photographer but also such a kind and loving person. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares about their clients. I feel so lucky to have found her!”

“We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Alli – Alexandra Wallace for our engagement and wedding photos. From the initial consultation to the final delivery (within 30 days of the date!) of the photos, every step of the process was handled smooth, organized and her creativity is amazing! On the day of the wedding, Alli went above and beyond to capture every special moment. She was well-prepared, but also incredibly personable, making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. Her ability to blend into the background while still capturing candid, intimate moments was truly impressive. We love her style each and every photo. What sets Alli apart is her attention to detail and dedication. She knew the perfect spots for our first look, bridal shots, and family photos. She also managed to capture the essence and emotions of the day beautifully, providing us with a stunning collection of photos that we will cherish forever. As promised, the final photos were delivered well before the promised date. The quality of the images exceeded our expectations; every photo was vibrant, well-composed, and perfectly edited. It was evident that she spent time on each photo and took ownership over her work. We highly recommend Alli and her team to any couple looking for a wedding photographer who is not only talented but also dedicated to making your special day unforgettable.

Though I specialize in couples photography, engagement sessions, and weddings in the Santa Barbara / Southern California area, I’m also available for maternity sessions and destination weddings.

“There is a reason she has all of these 5 stars; Sarah is the best! My new husband and I just moved to Ventura and decided to elope. Santa Barbara was highly recommended because of the courthouse, which was stunning. We decided to do photos and found Sarah. First and foremost, her work is stunning. Don’t believe me, check out her IG. It’s the perfect balance of moody and bright. Her photo aesthetic is *chef’s kiss*. She has an eye for what will look good. We told her what we wanted and she knew exactly where to go, which made eloping to a new area that much easier. She also made us comfortable while taking pics, which is hard because we are not photogenic and super awkward in poses. I cannot rave enough about her photos. The other part of it is that she walked us through everything when it came to eloping. She knew exactly where to go at the courthouse, what the process was like, and she made it such a smooth experience. I cannot thank her enough for taking one more stress off our plate for the big day. Finally, her prices are fair. She is not cheap but definitely not expensive. She was worth every penny and I never felt like she was trying to price gouge the way other photographers did. Sarah is just the best. I could not have imagined anyone better. I would book her over and over and over again. She is amazing!!!”

“Leah helped make our wedding the best day of our life. From the beginning, Leah was easy to work with, she listened closely to what we envisioned for our wedding and was able to provide us with creative ideas when we needed some help or felt overwhelmed. Leah's photography skills were superb and she provided us with so many beautiful pictures of us, our friends, venues, and so much more. Her turnaround time on getting us the photos was so quick too! Not only did she provide great photos, but she assisted as our "day-of-coordinator." Leah eased our fears so many times leading up to the wedding, she was easy to get a hold of or would reach out to us to make sure our wedding was coming together, and helped us communicate with some our other vendors when we needed an extra hand. Leah was the MVP of our wedding! You NEED her to be your photographer and she is worth every penny to be your day-of-coordinator too. We will be using Leah again for family photos!”

“We hired Brittany Taylor Photography months before our wedding and began the conversation with Brittany herself who was so kind and communicative from day 1. She heard out our vision, answered all of our questions, and made us feel so comfortable. From the start we knew she was not available for our wedding day but we had full confidence that whoever the photographer we got assigned with would be the perfect extension of Brittany. We were SO lucky to work with Claire who kicked us off with an amazing engagement shoot. She put in so much thought and effort into scouting a location and shooting with her felt like doing a fun art project with an old friend. We were so happy with our engagement photos, they turned out so beautifully and were delivered professionally and right on time. The week of our wedding there was a wildfire a few miles from the venue and it was somewhat touch and go. Brittany was hugely empathetic to our situation and was so kind during the stress of it all. Luckily the wedding went as planned. Claire did an amazing job of directing our crazy family, was efficient and captured all the group shots we wanted. She truly added so much value to our special day as a person and as a talented photographer. The photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Claire had a great eye for leveraging the scenery of our venue and finding the most magical shots. Major kudos to Claire and Brittany for making us feel beautiful and for capturing the essence of our day. Love how it's packaged nicely in an online gallery as well. THANK YOU X A MILLION!!!”

“Working with Moments by Frank was such a great experience from start to finish. Frank is incredibly personable and made us feel like we were catching up with a friend rather than working with a vendor, which put us at ease on our wedding day. He and his team knew exactly how to direct us for poses and worked with impressive efficiency and creativity throughout the entire event. Our bridal party couldn't stop raving about how easy Frank and the team were to work with. Communication was solid, though fair warning that Frank stays busy so you may need to follow up occasionally, but his work ethic is clearly why he's in such high demand. Our sneak peaks are stunning, and we can't wait to see our full final gallery!”

  • Starts at $2,000

I’m a Santa Barbara–based photographer documenting weddings, elopements, and proposals along the coast and beyond. My approach is simple: capture the day as it actually felt. Clients often tell me how comfortable and at ease they felt being photographed, which allows moments to unfold naturally rather than feeling staged. My work leans true to color and natural in tone, with a focus on light, composition, and the in-between moments that often end up meaning the most.

“From our first conversation, Studio Bibb's team was easy to work with and got back to us quickly whenever we had questions. Olivia went above and beyond by meeting us at our venue the day before the wedding to map out the best spots and understand our vision. On the big day, she captured intimate moments between my husband and me, while her second shooter got stunning photos of our families coming together. The photos are absolutely breathtaking and worth every penny—we were blown away by the quality and attention to detail. Olivia's persistence in getting everything just right meant we have images we'll treasure forever. We'd recommend Studio Bibb to any couple looking for photographers who truly care about their story.”

  • Serves Guadalupe, CA

My passion for photography was built on nostalgia. From a young age, I loved opening of the old holiday popcorn tins full of generations of family photos that my mom kept in the hallway closet. It felt magical to pull out old memories and hear my mom recall the story behind a photo. Now, I love to capture these special memories for my clients to pass down to the next generation. My job is to encourage and direct you so you feel comfortable and confident while taking photos, capturing each unique story in a creative and authentic way. I do this by creating a space for us to truly get to know each other and be ourselves.

“If you are reading this review in search of a wedding photographer, you can stop the search now, because Augusta is who you want! Augusta is so talented, so easy to connect with, and takes the time to truly understand what you and your partner are hoping to capture. On our actual wedding day, there were many times we were running behind schedule, and Augusta quickly adapted and still managed to capture more than we ever hoped for, or expected. More than that, I'm not sure how many weddings Augusta has worked, but she makes you feel like the most important and special person, is so attentive, has such a calming yet commanding presence (exactly what you need, but didn't know you needed until the day is actually unfolding), and makes you feel like you've been lifelong friends. She's extremely professional, great with communication, and if I had 15 weddings, I'd want her for all 15 of them.”

(i-love-film) I really do. There is something about the tactile quality, the vibrant color, the absence of color, the patience required, the craft. Something about how it pauses each moment for just one more second in the best way possible. It’s why I let film influence the way I shoot, how I approach each wedding day, and capture each moment despite how much easier it would be to only shoot digital. My hope is that all this effort and care and passion and sentimental value translates into something so much more than a photo on a screen. That you remember the way you felt, the laughs, the tears, and all the in-between moments.

“Jack was so nice to work with! He was super friendly and gave really helpful directions. The photos turned out great and I especially loved the film photos he took. I would definitely book a shoot with him again for something.”
