Isabella Nicolé Photography & Film

Nipomo, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $750

I am a luxury portrait and wedding photographer on the beautiful Central Coast (with a stint spent in the Midwest). I discovered my love for photography while at Allan Hancock College and have spent the last 4 years learning, growing, and perfecting my style and flow. I took a few years to travel around and find where I wanted to end up, and, of course, after spending a few years in the Midwest with my husband, my inspiring home called me back, and we, and our little boy, Stetson, now live in Nipomo, CA. We spend our free time walking on the beach and mountain biking.

We had the best experience with Isabella. She was so patient with my littles during their session. Their photos came out so cute! We will definitely do another session with her.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Weddings by Katherine Marchand 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Nipomo, CA

I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer based in Oakland, CA. With over a decade of experience and features in Vogue, Brides, The New York Times, and more, I know how to create wedding photos that don’t just look stunning — they feel like you. No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones. My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to even begin! Investing in Katherine to do our wedding photos for our August 2021 wedding was the best decision we made, other than getting married! She had done a friends' wedding so I had started following her on instagram long before my husband and I got engaged. We were planning our wedding back west, and so we started looking at photographers back there but I just couldn't find anyone who measured up to Katherine. Listen--if you want "trendy" photos for instagram with lots of filters, orange skin tones, poses, etc--then Katherine isn't for you. But if you want photos that truly capture your day how it really was, then look no further. I spent years pouring over my parents' and grandparents' wedding albums wanting something that felt that classic and real. And real is exactly what Katherine does. She has this amazing ability to be everywhere and no where all at once. I have been in a lot of weddings, seen a lot of wedding albums, and I have never seen a photographer capture candids as well as she does--the photos feel like screenshots from a movie where we look happy and fabulous all of the time! She truly has a photojournalistic approach. She caught every teary hug, hand squeeze, and glance from across the room. And her ability to make every type of light work to her advantage (harsh mid-day, dark dance floor, etc) is truly incredible. And don't worry--she will also get all of those family photos that your parents want and do it in a painless, seamless way! While we were initially hesitant about the cost of hiring a photographer from NYC to shoot a wedding back west, her prices are MORE than fair for what you are getting! She even did a mini shoot with us the night before to get us comfortable in front of the camera and they are some of my favorite photos from the weekend. Also--she made everyone feel so relaxed and comfortable the day of. My bridesmaids were obsessed with her (I mean how could you not be? She shows up in a gucci suit with effortless cool girl energy and is like "let's do this!"), she managed wrangling our very large wedding party with ease and even got my grandma to smile in photos which is a big deal! We woke up the next day to about 15 sneak peak photos from the night before, and had our entire wedding album in 6 weeks! The hardest part is choosing which photos to print! There are just too many that we love. TLDR: Hire this girl, she is smart as a whip, reliable, talented, and a consummate professional!

I was so nervous about taking engagement photos (my fiancé can confirm I’m not a natural in front of the camera), but our photographer made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and even had us laughing the entire time.

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Carly and Elliot from A Nomadic Love are truly one of a kind. They photographed one of our best friend’s weddings in 2019, another in 2023, and then ours in 2025, and we honestly couldn’t fathom having anyone else capture these moments. Their photos are truly unmatched. A Nomadic Love was the very first vendor I booked, long before I knew anything else about our wedding, because they were my one and only non-negotiable! Their style and editing speak for themselves, but what makes them even more special is who they are as people. They are so much fun to be around, they instantly make you feel comfortable, and seamlessly guiding you through each shot. They make everything so much fun, that you don't even really notice you are being photographed. Every experience I’ve had with them has been exceptional. Our wedding photos are beyond what we could have imagined, and we are still trying to narrow down which ones to print because every single one is that good. We’ve gotten endless compliments from family, friends, and are so happy with how our special day was documented through photo. Carly and Elliot are unlike any other, and we could not recommend them more

We loved working with Murtaza and the MKEShoots team for our 6-event Indian wedding, plus engagement shoot. His passion for the art was so infectious, especially since it was our first time doing professional photos. It took us some time to warm up to the camera, but once we did, well, the pictures really speak for themselves. Murtaza especially has an incredible eye for creative photo ideas, and he and the team made it so much fun even though we were stressed out with all the wedding drama. They scoped out noteworthy outdoor locations that made amazing backdrops, helped corral family members together for group photos, and just generally went above & beyond to make sure we had coverage of all the important moments - all the big things and the small details too. The photos we ended up with were beyond what I imagined, I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Now, I just need someone to help put the wedding album together.... :)

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!!

She made me feel so comfortable and so gorgeous all day. My husband was nervous about being in front of the camera but she helped guide our posing and he looks very natural in the end result! Photography is a large part of the wedding day and I'm grateful I spent that time with Masha. I am picky about photos since my dad is very passionate about photography, especially film photography. The photos (both digital and the film ones) turned out absolutely incredible. She took both traditional wedding portraits as well as some very dreamy gorgeous editorial-like photos. It's hard to convey how happy I am about the experience. I'm already dreaming about another vow renewal so I can book Masha again!

He’s so down-to-earth and made us feel totally at ease, which was huge because neither of us are super comfortable in front of a camera. He helped us with posing when we needed it (thank you for making us look like we knew what we were doing!), but also just let us be ourselves, which resulted in the most natural, beautiful photos. He totally captured the vibe of our day, especially the reception. The energy, the laughter, the dancing—everything was perfectly documented.

Hi! My name is Bailey and I am the owner of Baileaves Photography. I am a travel and destination wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I travel all over the world to create timeless cinematic images of couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé and I are getting married in May 2026 and are both pretty camera shy. We knew we wanted to get professional engagement and wedding photos done, but were nervous they would feel inauthentic. When we found Bailey’s page we were so excited about how she captured genuine joy from her couples in some of our favorite natural wonders in Oregon, which put us at ease going into our first conversation with her. Right out of the gate Bailey was incredible helping us feel comfortable with her, giving us resources to help guide our location outfit choices, and making us feel confident that we weren’t going to regret this decision. On the day of our engagement shoot, Bailey showed up at sunrise with us on the Oregon coast and ran around the beach for over 3 hours with us because the lighting kept shifting in such incredible ways through the clouds. Not only that, but she went above and beyond wrangling our dogs while we got some couple shots followed by some with the pups in some truly special family shots we will certainly be hanging up in the house. We had the best time with Bailey and the engagement photos she delivered were beyond anything we could have imagined. The way she captures the little smiles and moments between loved ones is unmatched, and her attention to lighting nuance and details of the natural area you’re in make her photos that much more special. We ended up using some of her photos for our invites and website, but are most excited to frame some for the house to remember forever. We can’t wait to have her as our wedding photographer and couldn’t recommend her enough for anyone looking!

The thing I hear most from my couples? “You made us feel so comfortable.” Most people don’t love being in front of the camera (totally normal), but that’s where I come in—to help you feel like the best version of yourself while making memories you’ll actually want to hang on your walls. Your wedding photographer is with you through the quiet moments and the chaos, so it matters who you have by your side. With me, you get someone who knows how to read the room, roll with whatever the day brings, and add calm, joy, and confidence to it all.

We are so happy with choosing Jen Patterson as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. For our engagement shoot, she really took the time to get to know us and our vibe. Based on that, she came up with some amazing ideas for the shoot and even provided us with outfit inspiration to help us choose the perfect looks for the session. It was super helpful, and it made a huge difference in getting the right feel for the photos. Jen is so easy and fun to work with! She made everything feel natural and comfortable, guiding us through different poses (we definitely needed this) and making us feel like pros. Honestly, she made it look effortless — we didn’t feel awkward at all, and the photos came out amazing. For the wedding, it was so nice to already know and be comfortable with Jen, and be confident that the photos would turn out amazing. And of course, they did! Jen captured all the best moments of the day and really paid attention to the special moments we wanted to highlight. We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out. Choosing Jen Patterson for our wedding was hands down one of our best decisions. She gets our highest recommendation!

Hi! I’m photographer with a strong passion for documenting love stories. I believe in allowing the natural flow and emotions ofthe day unfold on its own; capturing real unscripted moments thatcelebrate the beauty of each couple's unique love story. My ability toblend into the background, while still effortlessly capturing everyimportant moment, ensures a genuine and organic representation ofyour wedding day.I fell in love with the artistic charm of film photography that bringsa unique and nostalgic quality to your photos. And by combining that with digital imagery, I create a collection of photographs that are both captivating and timeless.

We got married in October 2024 and hiring Hiba as our photographer was one of the first and best decisions we made. Throughout the entire process from the engagement shoot to the saying goodbye on the dance floor - Hiba was a gem to work with. The photos are stunning, there are so many beautiful moments and a good mix of posed and candid. Truly there are some that I feel deserve to be on a magazine cover. Hiba has a fantastic eye for lighting, balance, and framing - all her shots are expertly taken but still come off casual and relaxed. She truly managed to capture the vibe of the whole day perfectly and we literally were checking daily to see the full gallery and it was totally worth the wait. Thank you Hiba!!

Daria Orlova Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first connected, Daria and Connor were efficient, unflapped, and good-humored in their communication, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Their work has an Old Hollywood style that is both classic and romantic, perfectly capturing the authentic joy and love of our special day. Daria and Connor truly were MVPs, arriving exactly on time with multiple cameras and a keen eye for finding the best backdrops, posing, and props to make us and our guests look and feel our absolute best. We couldn't be happier with the memories they've helped us preserve from our wedding day. We were blown away by the 48-hour turnaround for the preview photos. Just take a look, the work speaks for itself!
