San Luis Obispo, CA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,900

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 :)

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Dylan to capture our wedding day! From the moment we started looking at photographers, Dylan’s work stood out—he has such a natural eye for creating magic in his photos, beautifully balancing the people and the scenery in every shot. We booked Dylan for both photo and video, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our package included a complimentary engagement session, which was the perfect way to get to know him and feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. Dylan made everything feel so effortless and fun, suggesting creative, candid ideas that felt natural to us as a couple. His wife joined as a second shooter, which added another amazing layer of coverage and perspective. Working with them as a team was an absolute joy—they instantly made us feel like old friends. On our wedding day, Dylan and his team (again with his wife as our bonus second shooter!) worked tirelessly to capture every moment. His professionalism and guidance were invaluable—whether it was suggesting the best lighting or pointing out opportunities for unforgettable shots, he always seemed to know exactly what would work. Despite the full day of shooting, he kept the atmosphere fun, lighthearted, and comfortable. It truly felt like having a friend by our side, not just a photographer. When we received our sneak peeks, we were blown away—and then the full gallery arrived, and it was beyond anything we could have dreamed of. Dylan’s ability to capture genuine emotion while also highlighting the beauty of the setting is unmatched. Every photo is vibrant, timeless, and filled with meaning. And then came the wedding video—an absolute masterpiece. Dylan’s artistry in weaving together the details, emotions, and moments of our day transported us right back to those memories. Watching it, we felt all the magic of our wedding day come flooding back. We are endlessly grateful to Dylan Kyle Photography for capturing our love story so beautifully. His talent, creativity, and warm personality made this experience unforgettable, and we can’t recommend him highly enough for anyone looking for a photographer or videographer.

I had four (yes, four!) bridal makeup trials and I’m so grateful to have found Taylor! I was looking for a natural makeup look but it seemed impossible to find. The other trials left me with cakey foundation that actually made my skin texture look worse than it normally does without makeup. Taylor suggested that I look up celebrity reference photos as opposed to your typical bridal Pinterest pics. This was a game changer — great advice! Taylor paid close attention to my skin tone, skin type, and bone structure to help accentuate my features. She was so kind, professional, on time, and made the experience so effortless for my bridal party and I. I felt so beautiful thanks to Taylor. I wish I could have her do my makeup every day!

He answered all of our questions and always responded to calls and emails quickly! The food turned out perfectly and Kevin & his team were so accommodating and went above and beyond on wedding day- even helping clear plates & cleaning up!! We requested left overs for my husband and I in our bridal suite because we had been warned bride and groom don’t get to each much at the wedding because of all the talking! When we got up to the room later there were 2 to-go boxes made for us and tons of leftovers!! We had sooo many compliments on the food and staff. What a great business and team! Thank you so much!

He took the time to understand our vision and made it easy for us to express what we wanted. His friendly demeanor and professionalism put everyone at ease, which is essential when capturing moments with family. Pete has an incredible talent for taking authentic, candid photos that truly capture real moments. There was no stiff posing or forced smiles; instead, he captured us in our most natural state, resulting in images that we will cherish for years to come.

Since 2008, I have been dedicated to making dream weddings come to life. My passion for being a wedding planner stems from the joy and fulfillment that comes with creating unforgettable moments for couples on one of the most significant days of their lives. Being born and raised on the Central Coast is a true blessing. I've grown to appreciate this unique and quirky place I call home as the years have passed. When I'm not flexing my planning muscles you can probably find me still in the mix at a local event, concert or winery. I'm a dog mom, a tiny human mom, and a lover of all things Italian.

Monica helped plan and execute my October wedding in the Santa Ynez Valley and we could have been happier with the entire experience. She was our wedding coordinator starting about 6-8 weeks ahead of the wedding, although she started working with us a few months out to make sure we selected vendors and contracts with the right details in mind. She understood our vision and the vibe we wanted for the day and TOTALLY delivered. She also did our flowers, and they were stunning. Monica ensured the wedding setup and day of schedule went off without a hitch. She worked so hard the day before and day of - especially on the tablescapes, which I had told her I cared a lot about. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs wedding planning or wedding coordination.

Hi there, Im Savannah! I discovered my passion for photography at 15 years old, when I first picked up my grandpa’s camera and instantly fell in love with capturing moments. 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.

We have a large team of artists and can usually accommodate any sized bridal party. So if it is just the Bride or the Bride and her 20 best friends, we've got you covered!

We had Rich and Felicity as our hair stylists and Maddie as our makeup artist. These folks were amazing on the day, stayed on schedule and were able to deliver great looks with humid weather. My main reason for going 4 stars is the booking and communication ahead of time was a little sparse, it can be confusing to use the Bluebird form and I had to be the one to reach out to ask for stylist contacts ahead of time to discuss how the day would go. There also is not a lot of artist-specific portfolio work to reference on their site. I probably would have preferred to book direct with the artists if it was possible.

With luxurious accommodations, curated cuisine, and dedicated on-site support, every detail is thoughtfully handled — so you can focus on what matters most.

Just show up, celebrate, and let us take care of the rest.

Without a doubt, Hotel Cerro is the perfect venue for an intimate wedding. My fiancé and I decided to plan our wedding to coordinate with our anniversary month and didn’t take into consideration that it was…3 months away. Haha! However, Hotel Cerro and their event planning manager, Jessica, made the experience as stress free as possible. The ceremony space is located on their second floor terrace. You are welcomed by a lush wall of greenery and glass paneling that gives you a view of the beautiful fig trees on the first floor. Across the terrace, is a full length glass wall that opens into the dining area where we had our reception. The space is intimate and inviting with exposed brick walls and windows that look down onto Garsden St. When touring the venue, Jessica was warm, friendly and easy to talk to which instantly took away some the nerves of the planning process. She took the extra time to get a feel for what we wanted for our wedding and offered suggestions of what we could do with the space. The fact that we didn’t have anything planned and a short timeline didn’t seem to phase her at all! She made it obvious that although we didn’t have a lot of time, she was going to keep us on track and get everything planned with us in time. During the tour we saw that the hotel also has an upper level pool area, “Fig Veranda” and an edible garden which are all perfect areas to do wedding photos. Each area has a different feeling to it and it added variety to our photos without having to go all over town. Plus, we had so much fun running around the hotel with our photographer the day of! Throughout the planning process, Jessica was responsive and made sure to keep me updated on due dates and what the next steps were for the planning process. If I had any questions (and I had a lot haha!), she made sure to get me whatever answers I needed quickly and offered multiple options if there were any. Their preferred flower vendor delivered us beautiful arrangements and set them up before the wedding which allowed us to focus on getting ready. They also had our personal flowers delivered to our room and sent photos of the table set up as a “sneak peek”! We stayed at Hotel Cerro for the weekend of our wedding and was pleasantly surprised by how luxurious our loft room was. It had more than enough space for our friends to visit while we got ready and took us about 5 seconds to get to the ceremony area. The staff was very welcoming and seemed to be just as excited as we were that we were having our wedding there! The wedding day was everything that we could have dreamed of and more. The ceremony space was set up on time which allowed us to put out decorations, the floor plan and day of time line was followed exactly how we had planned and the reception dinner was delicious! The staff was also extremely friendly and attentive to everyone during the event. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Cerro if you’re looking for an intimate wedding venue. With the help of Jessica, the planning and execution of our wedding day went as smoothly as one could have hoped for and allowed us to truly enjoy our special day without additional worries!

With a passion for upscale and sophisticated designs, Laura has brought her expertise back to California, infusing every creation with a touch of elegance and artistry.

I commissioned Scarborough Affair as my floral vendor for my wedding in October and could not have been happier with my experience and the services provided. The bouquets, boutonnieres, flower girl crowns, corsages, table arrangements and trellis garlands were absolutely breathtaking and more beautiful than I could have hoped for or imagined. Not only did my husband and I love the floral designs, our family and friends did too, and our pictures turned out lovely. Selecting flowers for an event like a wedding can be overwhelming and stressful with so many options, but the owner, Laura, made the experience pleasant. She has a unique talent for helping you find the flowers and colors you love and bringing your vision to life in an elegant, artistic way. Laura thoughtfully listened to my ideas and color scheme, as well as budget and used her stylistic eye, knowledge/experience, and creativity to construct stunning and lovely smelling arrangements. On the day of the wedding, Scarborough Affair arrived punctually, set up efficiently in the limited venue set up time, meticulously inspected the arrangements (which were pristinely composed), and created a beautiful ambiance at the venue. On a side note, I was also impressed at how fresh the flowers were and how well they held up, as my wedding day happened during an extreme heatwave. I would definitely highly recommend using Scarborough Affair for a wedding or special occasion. I am truly grateful to SA for having my wedding flowers turn out so perfectly and helping make such a momentous day so special and memorable. Thank you!

They really did a wonderful job with our brunch reception! We picked Granada mainly for the unique look of the space and it was a great price for the brunch option. Rochelle was so great to work with! She answered all my questions and concerns promptly and with professionalism. The team really stepped up as the person who was going to set up for us canceled the morning of, so Rochelle took charge and had the team assist putting decor up. Our reception went perfectly. The weather even cooperated and we were able to sit outside on the patio as planned. We cannot wait to visit again for brunch! (The French toast and the burger are to die for and try the Granada punch!)

Capturing moments for the people I love, in the places they love, wherever that may be. There’s nothing more invigorating than giving people the opportunity to see themselves in a way that they never have before. Creating something meaningful for others is my passion. First, it’s important we get to know each other to make sure we’re a good fit cause trust me, it matters. I'll go first.

Fives across the board! Absolutely fell in love with Gage. Everything from his unique ability to capture a moment to his great personality. He made us feel like the only couple in the world. Gage made everything come to life. The big day seemed less stressful with him and his team there catching all the moments that mattered. Deciding whom to trust with the most important day of your life is stressful enough but make it easy on yourself and go with Gage! He’s out of this world and now apart of the family!
