In 2005, proprietors Ken & Julie Warwick and Nigel Lythgoe began the pursuit of turning their long-held dream of owning a vineyard into a reality. Once childhood friends in the backstreets of Liverpool, the Emmy-winning pair would grow up to produce the primetime hit, American Idol. It was during their time on Idol, travelling between audition cities, that they first discovered Paso Robles, a wine region still under the radar. Not long after consulting with their families, Ken and Nigel purchased and began redevelopment of an old-vine property located at the northern edge of the Paso Robles AVA. Over ten years later, Villa San-Juliette has emerged as a premier wine destination on the Central Coast.

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. You don't need to always love your body or the way you look because that's just not realistic. 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. The quality of their work is truly outstanding - the photos are absolutely beautiful and captured the perfection of our special day. Jen is an amazing person which makes her amazing to work with, and we are so grateful to have had her as our wedding photographer. We couldn't recommend JeLau Photography more highly!”

I'm Catherine, the photographer behind Asilomar Photography, based in Pacific Grove. I've spent over a decade photographing weddings and elopements throughout California. This coast is home to me, and I photograph it that way. I know the locations, the light, and how to keep your day on track without it ever feeling rushed. If you're getting married on this coast, let's talk.

Awarded Best of Zola
“This October, I worked with Elope in Monterey to have a small wedding with my immediate family in attendance. I feel so unbelievably lucky that Catherine was my photographer! I showed up to my wedding without ever meeting Catherine, but her warmth and friendliness made me feel comfortable immediately. As someone who is pretty shy in front of the camera (same goes for my partner), I was surprised by how comfortable I felt in front of Catherine's lens. She really let us be ourselves and joyfully captured all the silliness that makes us who we are. I also really appreciated her helpful directions and tips for posing, which she always delivered kindly. Catherine really made us feel like she was so happy to be there and for me, that really made my experience so pleasant and memorable! Even though our package only included 60 minutes of photography, she never made us feel rushed and she really went the extra mile to get us a large variety of shots and made sure we had many photos in various configurations of our group! I've received our photos, and they are stunning! I cannot thank Catherine enough for capturing the joy of our special day!”

He immediately asked me how we wanted everything done and then executed my vision perfectly—the setup was flawless, the food was wonderful, and they cleaned up completely without us having to lift a finger.

In 2020, I took a leap and left my 9-to-5 job to pursue my passion for photography full-time. Now, as a dedicated wedding and lifestyle photographer, I’m thrilled to capture the special moments that mean the most to you. I take pride in delivering high-quality photos and genuinely enjoy being part of your big day. Based in Aptos, I also serve the surrounding areas of the Monterey Bay region, and I’m always ready to travel wherever your love story takes us!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Deanna was truly the most amazing photographer for our wedding! Neither my husband nor I had ever taken professional photos before, and to be honest, we’re both pretty awkward and camera-shy. But from the moment we booked her, she made the whole experience feel effortless. She even offered an engagement session, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. By the end of it, we were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out—far beyond what we had imagined! On the wedding day, Deanna was more than just a photographer; she was a calming presence amidst all the excitement and nerves. Her ability to guide us through poses felt so natural—never forced or uncomfortable. She has such an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments, and the photos reflect that in every frame. Deanna didn’t just document our wedding; she became a friend along the way. I can’t express how much we appreciate her talent, kindness, and professionalism. We’re already looking forward to working with her again for future milestones and photo sessions. Thank you, Deanna, for capturing our special day so perfectly—we couldn’t have asked for more!”

Wife to Spencer (2016), Mum/Mom to Reed (2020), and Milo (2023).  Big fan of a latte in the morning and a French75 on special occasions. An avid listener of audiobooks, podcasts, Taylor Swift, my 'Theatre Mix' playlist on Spotify, and early 2000's pop and, occasionally, 2010's emo. A repeat watcher of Bridgerton, New Girl, The Good Place, The Righteous Gemstones, VEEP, & Ted Lasso.

“I have worked with Claire for over 8 years at multiple venues and seen her shine doing what she loves. There is not a single detail that will go unnoticed with her in charge. Weddings are second nature to her and she is careful to address all logistics beginning to end. Every couple who has hired her as a coordinator loves her and feels as if she is their best friend the day of. She goes above and beyond and will assist with everything she possibly can including (but not limited to) creating and following a sensible timeline, clear communication between vendors and couple family / wedding party, bustling dresses, bringing her emergency supply kit in case ANY unexpected incident should arise, and will manage the day without the client even knowing what is happening behind the scenes. Claire was born to be a coordinator and you will be the best hands with her on your day!”

Welcome. Karla has been an artist for as long as she has been alive. It all started when she was in preschool and thought that painting another pre-school student with paint was fun. Unfortunately, she got sent home that day, but the artist in her was born! Working with flowers, and making events beautiful for her clients, has provided Karla with an outlet that is very fulfilling for her. It creates a balance, and zen for her, which fills, balances, and feeds her soul.

“Karla was great to work with as our florist for our wedding at Waterfall Lodge! We had reached out to probably 10 different florists initially, and we immediately noticed how Karla was attentive to our budget and transparent about the breakdown. The work order that we received from Karla was far more detailed than any other estimate, and it was clear that she understood our vision. She also thought to ask questions that we never even considered, all to make sure that we were getting the floral arrangements that we wanted! We could not be happier with the flowers that we received on our wedding day. They were even better than we could have imagined, and the wildflowers added the pop of color to the redwoods that we were hoping to get! We would definitely recommend Karla to anyone looking for floral arrangements for their wedding!”

Jules has an affinity for nostalgia, Design and a good party. with a background in art and design, she loves lots of color and loves a design challenge. She’s an instinctive connector who loves to bring people together in and out of her professional life, and that led her to event planning. When she’s not planning an epic event you can find her on an Adventure with her husband and daughter or at an estate sale in the Bay Area. she loves hunting for treasures, jumping into water and is a dancing queen

“I put so much care, hope, and, admittedly, pressure on Jules and her team to deliver the day-of coordination for our wedding, and she did not disappoint. Throughout the planning process, Jules was a constant source of calm. She was always willing to step in when needed, a great person to bounce ideas off of, and incredibly honest about what was realistic in terms of time and scope. I am a very detail-oriented person and handed over a 21-page PDF covering styling, seating, scheduling, inventory, and approximately a million other details (truly over the top!), and Jules executed everything to the highest degree. She took all of those details seriously while also being honest with me about what was and wasn’t possible. When the scope of work changed, she was transparent and communicative, and we were able to bring on additional assistants to make sure everything got done. Most importantly, Jules gave me the ability to actually relax and enjoy my wedding day. I knew I was in good hands, and I was able to be fully present and enjoy every minute instead of worrying about logistics. She went above and beyond in every way, and I truly could not recommend Jules and her team more highly!”

I was so glad she was willing to brainstorm and discuss with me on my vision; I especially appreciated that she did not shy away from styling my naturally curly hair. I did a bridal hair and makeup trial with Amanda and already loved the results. However, she went above and beyond in taking our notes from the trial to make the final look on our wedding day even more elevated! I also loved her touch-up kit and really thoughtful education on how to maintain the look throughout the night. Amanda and her team also did the hair and makeup for my family in the bridal suite. I have heard nothing but amazing feedback about their knowledge, work, and professionalism. The personalization to every individual to make them feel their best was appreciated by everyone.

I love working closely with you to create a day that reflects your unique vision, and I’m happy to tailor my packages to fit your budget and needs. From start to finish, I’ll ensure your wedding day is seamless, personal, and unforgettable.

“Long story short: hire Dawn!! Dawn coordinated our wedding at Waterfall Lodge and we could have asked for a more supportive, collaborative, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, caring person to coordinate our day. From the start, communication was easy and Dawn was very responsive, transparent, and helped us create a wedding that aligned with our goals, values, and budget. She provided us with tons of resources to help us execute our day - sample timelines, layouts, vendor lists, tips and tricks, and more (in addition to lots of email communication and very thoughtful meetings leading up to our big day). Our wedding day was truly a dream - better than we could’ve ever imagined - and I strongly believe it is largely in part because Dawn (and the rest of our vendor team that mostly came from Dawn’s recommendations) was so on it. We were 100% present for our wedding and at peace knowing Dawn was in charge of our day. From the bottom of my heart and top of my brain, I couldn’t recommend Dawn more!! Thank you, Dawn, for helping us create the most perfect day to celebrate our love. :)”

I work in marketing and have done many shoots with various photographers over the years, and I have to say, Danieka was the most patient, professional and overwhelmingly talented photographer I have ever worked with. She was also sooo good with my family and friends on wedding day! We had a lot of last minutes changes and she was able to capture our day perfectly! Highly recommend her!!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“When we were initially searching for wedding planners, it was immediately clear to us that the team at Paige Events stood head and shoulders above anyone else we interviewed. From the moment we started working with Paige A for partial planning for our wedding, we were given all the tools and support we needed to plan and execute the most amazing wedding weekend. Paige A does an amazing job managing vendors (multiple of them came up to us after the wedding to tell us how much they liked working with her, and how great of a communicator she was) and ensuring that you can really relax and enjoy your wedding rather than worrying about logistical details. Our wedding had the additional challenge of being in an area with no cell reception (Big Sur) and Paige A did an amazing job managing logistics in this challenging environment, including arranging shuttles to transport 100 people for multiple events. It’s clear to see that Paige A is great at her job and that she also enjoys the process. If you’re looking for someone to help execute your wedding vision, look no further!”

I'm married to David Redshaw, who is one of my second photographers. I am a portrait, wedding, and event photographer in Salinas, CA.

I absolutely love taking photos that are unique to the individual and would love to help you capture those special moments so you can cherish them forever. And I'm not just your photographer, I'm your friend too, so let's just have fun and take beautiful photos :)

“From our first conversation with Camille, we knew we had found the right photographer for our wedding. She was responsive and genuinely listened to what we wanted, then went above and beyond by helping us finalize our timeline and creating a family shot list template that made photos run like clockwork. Camille and her entire team brought professionalism and warmth to our day, making us feel relaxed and comfortable the whole time. The photos are stunning—every detail captured perfectly. We couldn't have asked for better service or results. Highly recommend Camille Mattish Photography to any couple planning their wedding.”

Hi, I’m Grant, the photographer behind NarBear. The name? I love narwhals and bears. A very scientific branding process. I photograph weddings in Monterey, Carmel, San Jose, San Francisco, and San Luis Obispo. My style is timeless, romantic, and natural—with enough direction to make you look incredible without turning your wedding into a photoshoot. I personally edit every delivered image. No batch processing or cookie-cutter presets. Just real moments, beautiful light, and photographs you’ll love decades from now. My one wedding collection includes up to 10 hours of coverage, a 24-hour sneak peek, and a complimentary engagement session at Asilomar State Beach. Tell me about your plans. I’d love to hear your story.

“We honestly could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Grant made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely excited about the entire process. He paid attention to every detail, helped guide us naturally when needed, and somehow captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening. The photos turned out absolutely incredible — timeless, emotional, and beautifully edited without looking overly filtered or artificial. Every image feels like a piece of our story. Family and friends have not stopped complimenting them. What stood out most was how much he truly cared about giving us an amazing experience, not just delivering photos. He went above and beyond throughout the day and made everything feel effortless. If you want someone who is creative, professional, laid-back, and genuinely talented, NarBear Studios is the photographer to book. These are photos we’ll treasure forever.”

I never saw wedding photography in my future. I was supposed to be working in LA on big movie sets! But life has a funny way of giving you exactly what you never asked for and making it even better than you could ever dream of. So here I am—a super chill and really fun wedding photographer waiting to have the best platonic three-way you could ask for!

“Kassandra Months later, I am still stunned by Kassandra's artistry and professionalism. I was looking for a photographer who would capture the beauty of the day and make it special without it feeling posed or contrived, classy and simple, but emotional. She is a true master of light, composition, and people. Without a long list of required poses, she caught the moments and images I didn't know would be among my most cherished. On her professionalism, I cannot say enough. During the consultation phase, she was generous with her time and responsive. She kept in contact in the time leading up. Took initiative to coordinate with our coordinator and venue. My beach wedding was on a day the beach was PACKED. I'd expected lots of extras in the background. Nope. Thanks to her flawless editing, it looked as intimate as it felt. Despite this, she timely delivered the sneak peek and the photos (I didn't expect for A WHILE given the amount of work she put in). An aside on her as a person, she is a joyful light of a human that added to the love fest that was my wedding day.”
