My Sun And Stars Co.

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Pismo Beach, CA

Hello, I’m Megan! Legacy preserver, fine art creator, wedding photographer...and completely-obsessed dog mom. (Send me an email with a picture of your fur baby attached and see how fast I respond!) Of all the things I could share about My Sun and Stars and my work as a wedding photographer, here’s the first thing I want you to know: I don’t believe in imposing a mood onto your memories. Trendy edits, filters, and lighting choices don't add anything to the meaningful moments you share on your wedding day. In fact, they can actually detract from your remembrance of them.

My Sun and Stars Co is my absolute favorite photographer to have photograph my flowers. The photos always make me soo happy! They're accurate to reality, not edited to be sepia or whatever other filter, and its really wonderful to be a package offering.

I am so thrilled that I went with Trees and Seas for my wedding photography. We worked with Shawn and he was amazing and communicative from start to finish. I had a very specific vision for my photos and he asked lots of questions about it during our calls, then executed it perfectly on the day. We’ve gotten our sneak peaks back already and I can’t WAIT to see the rest of them! Thank you so much Shawn!

Grace was an absolute joy to work with - she was efficient and detailed in her communication, always responding quickly to emails and keeping us updated every step of the way. Most importantly, Grace genuinely cared about capturing our love story and making sure we were happy with the photos. Her photography style is airy and beautifully epic.

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.

We hired Andy for our wedding in September 2025. After some thoughtful research, what sold us on his work was his effortless ability to capture the perfect moments of a wedding day—especially his night photography and dance floor shots. He is incredibly professional, and we felt very comfortable with him from the start. He made us laugh, which was so helpful in easing those stressful moments. We were very impressed with his timeline and how smoothly he kept everything moving. He was prompt, had great ideas for photo locations to get the best results, and was also open to our input—making sure our ideas came to life. Andy was flexible with his packages to fit our budget; we had originally planned for five hours of coverage but decided to upgrade to the full eight hours because photography is so important to us. His communication throughout the entire process was amazing. He provided a helpful welcome guide to navigate the wedding process and a detailed questionnaire to plan out who would be photographed during cocktail hour. Again, his communication was flawless! Here was our timeline for a 4:00 PM wedding with a first look: 2:00 – Photography begins / detail shots and getting ready 2:40 – First Look 3:00 – Bridal Party (together, separate, solos) 4:00 – Ceremony 4:30 – Family Photos / Cocktail Hour 5:45 – Grand Entrance with First Dance 6:00 – Dinner 6:30 – Shoe Game 6:45 – Speeches 7:00 – Sunset Photos 7:20 – Dances 7:25 – Open Dance Floor 9:50 – Bubble Exit 10:00 – Photography ends Helpful tip to those planning a wedding, we only wished we had also hired a videographer to capture the words said or designate someone to take videos with their phone.

I have DJ'd 300+ weddings, and coordinated 100+ weddings since 2009. I am now shifting all focus towards photography. I've been recreationally taking photos since I was in high school, but recently I realized that wedding photography is absolutely my calling. I will be keeping prices low for a while as I help couples achieve their perfect photography vision.

Amazing work done by this photographer. Made me feel comfortable and confident throughout it. Made jokes and small talk to break the awkwardness. Took many photos incase I wasn’t a fan of one, there was always a back up. Very talented work! Keep it up!

Started to study beauty since 1987... Discovered photography in 1999. Studied and practiced wedding photography since 2007. Studied people and relationships since 2008 (college degree in counseling). Started teaching others how to see light, beauty, color, and magical moments since 2017. "The lover is the student of the beloved"

I seriously cannot say enough about Cassia. I found her when looking at vendor for a Paso Robles wedding and after one phone call and a few emails I just felt like she was our wedding photographer. She did our engagement photos in Paso Robles and has such a. Knowledge of greats places for photos and even venues to suggest based off our interests. Even though we didn't end having our wedding in Paso Robles and has it in Ventura County she traveled down to us. 1000% worth the investment. In my eyes the venue and the food are only for the day but quality photos will last generations, and Cassia provides you with those lifetime of memories. If you're on the fence, book her. She's more than worth it!

When I'm not behind the lens, you’ll find me enjoying sunsets, jamming out to live music, hanging out with my dog, Paisley, or savoring some authentic Italian cuisine (though Mexican food is a close second!). I cherish the joy of transforming clients into friends and hope we can connect over some of these shared interests. Whether we’re exploring new places or just hanging out in the stunning central coast, I’m eager to bring your vision to life.

I first picked up a camera in high school and was instantly obsessed with the process and possibilities of capturing images. I went on to study at The San Francisco Art Institute and transferred to The Art Center, College of Design in Pasadena, earning a BFA in Photography. I began my career as a photographer in a Los Angeles product photo studio. While working there, I found I had a talent for photo retouching. I worked as a professional retoucher for many years and know what many celebrities really look like hah! I made my way back to freelance photography after having my daughter in 2013.

We LOVED working with Gennan. Out photos are spectacular, abundant and just what we hoped for. I love that she schedules a call with you to discuss your style and vibes, to get to know you a bit. She was responsive through email prior to the big day, and I was so impressed she even brought some of the inspo pics I had sent for us to recreate. She was very professional while being easy and fun to shoot with! She even resent some photos that were B&W that we wanted in color. Edits were lovely. Now our only problem is trying to choose from so many favorites.

We are so very glad that we found Michael to do our wedding and engagement photos! He came on recommendation from a great videographer in the area. From the minute we booked with him we got exceptional service and quality product. He made us feel very much at ease in doing our engagement photos. He knew where the best locations were and how to tell us to pose (or not pose). On the day of our wedding he took control of the kinds of photos he knew we wanted. The photos came back in a very timely manner and were outstanding. Our friends often comment on how beautifully done they are. He was so good that we continue to book him every single time we need photos taken. The walls in our house are covered in Michael's photos and they are absolutely gorgeous.

I'm there for you, and I have your back. I want to give you gorgeous photos that show the joy of your day, without having to miss all the fun stuff.

Tayler is literally the best! Picking the right photographer was such a big decision for our wedding and we are so thankful we picked Tayler, not only did our engagement pictures come out amazing (we only took them like 8 weeks before the big day to practice) but our wedding pictures were soo awesome. We both have strong, opinionated families and she was able to manage them effectively. Everyone complimented her personality and our pictures aquickly and they were sooo beautiful we couldn’t even pick our favorites.
