Alexandria Vail Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

Hi! I'm Alex, and I accidentally fell into wedding photography in 2015 when I was covering for a sick photography friend. I had no idea that the least amazing thing about weddings are the pictures (what?!). Let me explain, the moments that I get to experience when two sides of a family come together to celebrate their loved ones for the first (and most likely last time simultaneously) is a kind of a magic you have to experience in order to appreciate. It's pure magic. Trying to capture the feeling of that once in a lifetime experience is what drives me, and all of your beautiful details, decor, and portraits are a very close second!

Book Alexandria for your wedding or any special event! You will be so happy. Alexandria was a dream to work with. She went above and beyond. She is very professional and super talented. We are absolutely in love with our engagement session and wedding photos. Alex made us feel so comfortable. She truly captured the best moments. We loved her energy, she was a joy to work with. We are so thankful to have her be a part of our wedding day. We will continue to use her to capture all of our life moments and will forever cherish our lovely photos.

Want a trusted, unobtrusive, thoughtful pro photographer friend on your wedding day? Someone to capture the way the wedding FEELS as well as it looks. A little direction during portrait time, a little leadership during family portraits, and near invisibility all other times? I think you’re onto something. I’m in. What's exciting? What’s important? What's confusing? Let’s sit down for a discovery meeting and I’ll ask, listen, lay out options, and share suggestions. I want to learn about you. I'm on your team 100% before, during, and after your wedding. Bonus: I've shot 400+ practice weddings before yours and I absolutely LOVE what I do!

We found Olivia to be a wonderful, skilled photographer! Her eye for composition is creative, yet she demonstrated the connectiveness of us as a couple. The one thing that stands out is how Olivia totally put us at ease by using innovative ways to relax us as we were posing. She had us, as we were holding a position close to each other, to tell each other 3 things we love and appreciate about each other. This of course brought smiles and was totally relaxing and sincere. She made us so relaxed and comfortable . As a result , the photos look completely natural. We actually became engaged the afternoon, immediately after these photos were taken. She made the moment so relaxing and magical. It was serendipity. I recommend her highly, and will be spreading the word amongst my friends and contacts. We will treasure these photos forever.

MODERN ROMANCE DOCUMENTED EXCEPTIONALLY Named after my mother Ana Rosa, De La Rosa strives to help you slow down, be present and be yourselves on your wedding day. We believe being present on your wedding day will bring out the best in you and your partner. Giving an authentic and fun experience while having a timeless and editorial look.

Sebastian was a huge part of our wedding day and the planning process. From the moment we met him a year before our wedding day for our engagement photos, we knew we picked the right photographer for us. We fell in love with his quality of work, work ethic, and personality. He coached us with posing, and we were comfortable taking his direction. The vision he has comes to life candidly in the photos, and after three photo sessions with him, I cannot pick a favorite because they're all uniquely beautiful. Our first session was our engagement session, which I wanted to do on a boat in the Keys because it's a special place and hobby for us so I thought it would be a personal touch and photos we could cherish forever. He was all about the idea and didn't nickel and dime us, which often happens as you plan this very personal event. I prioritized finding vendors who truly love what they do and are invested in their couple, not just the event, and Sebastian is just that! I am forever grateful to my planner for connecting me to him, and I hope to work with him for many more life moments.

Mary Jane Cole Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

I fell in love with the art of Photography about 7 years ago and have looked at everything through a viewfinder since. I can't go anywhere without mentally composing a photo or wondering what angle I could use to make something look more interesting. I started taking photos for friends and family and quickly fell in love with the concept of saving a moment forever, in a unique way only I could. The technology surrounding photo-taking has come so far that everyone has the ability to snap a picture with their smartphone just about wherever they're at; but to me, the value of high quality photography will never be outdated or lose it's value.

I don't remember how I stumbled across Mary's instagram one day but I'm so glad I did. I immediately followed her, even before I was engaged/planning a wedding or anything. I just fell in love with the art she created, the moods she captured, and how you can just feel her photos. Then when my now husband proposed, I immediately knew, I wanted to book Mary. My husband is also a photographer so his standards are high, when I showed him her work, he was in. We met up with her for our engagement photos and it was incredibly different then what I was expecting, in the best way possible. We both though we'd feel award and uncomfortable being in front of the camera but Mary put us at ease, hyped us up, and made us feel so comfortable and giddy. I was in love with our engagement photos. Then the wedding photos?! I have no words. Every time I look at them, I can't help but smile and relive those moments. She was so patient, so kind, and so caring. All the kids instantly fell in love with her too. She's just such a genuine person who feels like a good friend. Who happens to take absolutely incredible photos. I've never felt as beautiful as I did until I saw myself through her lens. I couldn't recommend her enough for special moments.

We decided to have a destination wedding and we knew that what mattered the most to us was our choice of photographer so it was a big decision for us. I stumbled across Megan's work and was instantly impressed. Not only is she extremely talented with what she does, but she also is very professional.

Plus, the photos are better than we could have imagined. They are so warm, sweet, and capture the joy that we shared that day. Also, the photos actually look like us, not hyper edited weirdos.

Two artists with over twenty years of combined photography experience, Todd & Adam are a premier husband-and-husband wedding photography team. The duo partnered together in 2018 and have since photographed weddings around the country and internationally, utilizing their unique style and technical skillset to tell joyful love stories with intention and lyrical artistry. Their work features in renowned publications such as People Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, BRIDES, Out Magazine and many others. The duo splits their time between homes in Palm Springs and Boston and accepts destination wedding assignments globally.

Todd is an incredible wedding photographer - as both a fellow wedding vendor and as a bride my experience with him was absolutely outstanding. As a colleague, it was a always a joy to arrive to an event to find that Todd was the photographer - his warm demeanor and kindness made every event we collaborated on extra special. Couples clearly adored him - I've known clients who returned to Todd after their weddings for family portraits, baby showers, birth announcements and all the other life milestones that he helps to commemorate with gorgeous photographs. I have recommended Todd to my dearest friends and cannot say enough good things about his incredible eye, warm presence and commitment to his craft.   When it came time to have my own wedding, there was no one else I could have imagined capturing the details of the day. Todd was an absolute joy to work with and his exquisite skill as a photographer made our wedding day incredibly special. As a very shy person, I was nervous about being photographed but Todd put me at my ease immediately and managed to make me feel relaxed, calm and centered enough to enjoy the day. Todd has a wonderful eye for composition and capturing the most beautiful and touching candid moments. As part of my getting ready photos, Todd took a picture of of me petting my beloved cat and that black and white photo is still one of my favorite photographs ever - both because it captures something intimately personal with deep significance, but also because it is a gorgeously composed work of art.   In addition to making beautiful photos, Todd's warmth, good humor and palpable love for his work make him a dream to work with. It's impossible not to smile around Todd, not just because he's taking your picture, but because his gentle energy makes you feel completely at your ease and cared for - his own smile radiates joy. Todd effortlessly manages all the complex details that go into capturing each and every moment of your special day and the results are breathtaking. I cannot recommend Todd highly enough!

My couples echo this right back. They are stylish, authentic and plan amazing details but also know how to pop the champagne and head to the dance floor.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was my lucky day the day I met the Animus Art team at a bridal expo and won their free engagement photo shoot. When my (now) husband and I met with them over coffee (the way to their hearts, I found later) to talk about the shoot, I hadn't intended on choosing our wedding photographer then. We ended up loving their work so much...but more importantly, we fell in love with them as people. They have such a passion for what they do and for the people they work with, and it shows through in every conversation, every laugh, and every photo. My husband and I stayed after they left to discuss it, and we decided that day to choose them. We had lofty goals for our engagement shoot. We wanted to do a Pixar-inspired theme. I'm a perfectionist and had a vision of what I wanted. What we got was so much more. For our wedding photos...they captured moments I didn't know I needed. Some of my favorite shots are candid photos only their eyes would have seen. And once we found out we were pregnant, we immediately turned to them to not only help us capture the maternity and newborn moments, but the birth process as well. That's how close we've become with Pedro and Burcu...they were the only people we trusted to be in the room the moment our first child was born. The photographs are more than I could have hoped for, and looking at them brings tears to my eyes. They were able to capture so many emotions, and those photos are a gift I'll never be able to repay. I can't recommend them enough, and there aren't words for how much their dedication to those precious moments in our lives means to me. I can't imagine a special occasion without them...not only as photographers, but now as friends.

Paige is a California wedding and portrait photographer, specializing in romantic wedding days for couples who value art and intentionality in their planning and imagery. Based in San Diego, but available for destinations worldwide.

When we came across Paige's work on the internet, we just knew that we wanted her to be our photographer for our wedding. Her eye is so great and she does what few photographers can, capture the emotion present with her lens. Our wedding was supposed to be a very large, 2 day affair. Then covid decided to put the kibosh on it all and our wedding turned out to be the 2 of us, an officiant and Paige. She beautifully rolled with the punches during this time and elegantly communicated with us and gave us wonderful client service in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. She is a true class act. We ended up shooting 2 different days in 2 different cities, both indoor and outdoor and even next to the Palm Springs windmills in 60 mph wind gusts! Paige was a true trouper and had all the right gear for every occasion. My (now) husband and I previously didn't really like the way we looked in photos hardly ever and were a bit concerned. We expressed this to Paige. The photos that we got back from her blew our minds. We loved all of them! It was so hard to narrow it down to show people! She not only captured light beautifully and has a wonderful eye for detail but she truly captured our love through her lens and made us feel beautiful. To top all of that off, she is an amazing human as well. Paige is a joy to work with and a brilliant photographer. I highly recommend working with her for any occasion.

Hi, I'm Jenn Petty. I'm a wedding photographer based in Monterey, California and I travel worldwide capturing all people's love stories. I believe in equality, representation, and being kind to everyone. I believe in promoting self-love, confidence, body-neutrality, and general badassery into each of my clients.

But you shouldn't let it hold you back from enjoying life because you're so amazing and so so much more than your weight

JeLau Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very first time we spoke, the owner Jen was so helpful, direct, and kind - making the entire process leading up to the big day smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, Jen kept me feeling calm and on schedule, and made every moment fun and enjoyable.

Michelle Alexandra is a wedding and editorial photographer based in Monterey, Ca and has traveled across the US to capture some of the most beautiful love stories and fashion editorials. Michelle is passionate about creating imagery that is authentic, emotional, and timeless. With a love for fashion and editorial imagery, Michelle has become know for her unique take on wedding photography. You can see it in her compositions, her use of lighting and the way she captures her subjects. Her work has been published in magazines such as People, Marie Claire, Elle, Dare Magazine and most recently Harper's Bazaar.

There are so many things I loved about working with Michelle. She is a super easygoing person and has a calming demeanor that made us feel really comfortable when taking our photos. She was on top of her stuff; always prepared and even going above and beyond like traveling to shooting locations and showing up early to capture photos, like during our welcome pool party, that weren’t even included in our contract. She is extremely talented; her shooting and editing style is perfect in my opinion for wedding photos - soft, clean, and timeless that will never go out of style. And she is just a lovely person in general. Let her work speak louder than these words though - seriously, just check out her website or instagram photos and you will see what I mean. With both our engagement and wedding photos, we were overwhelmed with how many we loved which made choosing which to share and print so hard! That’s definitely a problem you want to have :) Thank you so so much for everything, Michelle. We loved working with you and appreciate everything you did for us more than we can ever say! These photos will be a constant reminder of the love and fun we felt throughout our engagement period and wedding. If we could get married again and start all over, we would do it without hesitation and would choose to work with you every single time.

Aztec Photography was also incredibly friendly and put us at ease in front of the camera. We are thrilled with the final product and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding photography team.

I started my photography and filmmaking journey in fall of 2022 as a 17 year old senior in highschool. Ever since then I’ve kept falling further in love with the craft. I specializes in capturing the special moments of your wedding. It's one of the biggest days of your life; it deserves to be turned into art.

Owen is very professional. He is a great communicator and makes you feel relaxed and reassured that everything will be handled well. His photo style is beautiful and he’s truly a gifted photographer. Highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of working with Yulisa as the coordinator for a recent wedding, and she was fantastic! Yulisa is incredibly sweet and so much fun to work with. Both the couple and guests had a wonderful time during the portrait sessions. Her creativity with ideas is impressive, and it shows in every shot. Yulisa’s team is amazing, and their communication was top-notch throughout the entire process. Highly recommend Yulisa for capturing your special moments!

Aloha ! I’m Gaylin, a Maui based film wedding photographer who has been in the industry for a decade. I find an immense joy in capturing moments that highlight who my clients are through the art of photography. My services extend to all of the Hawaiian Islands, California, and beyond.

Gaylin is so much fun to work with. She’s incredibly nice and makes everyone feel like a beautiful model. We’ve had 2 photo shoots with her and will definitely use her on future visits to Hawaii. She’s professional but goofy which makes for a fantastic time
