Hi, I'm Sarah...your San Luis Obispo (and beyond) Wedding Photographer, and I’m obsessed with giving you the experience and photographs you deserve. After 15 years in the industry, I don't just show up to your wedding and snap photos. I’m here to listen to your vision, identify what’s important to you and then deliver an entire experience you'll love from start to finish. With me, you'll have the CONFIDENCE that I know exactly how to make all of your photos (yes, even those “posed ones”) tell the real – intimate, romantic, fun and adventurous – story of your day!

From the moment we started working with Sarah at Mirror's Edge Photography, we knew we had made the best decision for our wedding day. Her communication style is simply the best ever - she was so communicative and so willing to listen to all of our ideas and preferences. Sarah went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident, building us up like no one else. I cannot recommend Sarah enough, she is amazing at what she does and makes you feel wonderful no matter what you use her for. I started with a boudoir shoot, then engagement photos and wedding photos...so clearly it worked! I've also used Sarah for family photos and will never use anyone else as long as she's working. Don't walk, run to Mirror's Edge Photography - you won't regret it!

We are Katie and Joseph, a husband and wife team making up the San Luis Obispo Wedding Photography duo that is Poppy & Vine. We met, fell in love, and founded our business together on the Central Coast of California, and love that we've gotten to make a career out of serving people on their happiest days! We are big fans of climbing mountains, going on road trips, tasting wines & craft beer, spending quality time with new friends and old, and mostly Jesus. We are two easy going people who are just about as goofy as they come, and we are big fans of a good dance party! We're so excited to meet you :)

Poppy and Vine were the perfect photographers for our wedding day. From the very first phone call, their communication was prompt, professional, and flexible - exactly what we were looking for. Their documentary-style approach captured all the special moments of our day in a high-quality, fun way. They were incredibly flexible, handling all the shots we wanted with ease and no stress. Katie and Joseph are the best in the business - so easy and fun to work with, and they made us feel completely at ease, which really shows in our amazing photos. They even got us a sneak peek within 48 hours! I cannot recommend Poppy and Vine enough - they are kind, thoughtful, and will go the extra mile to get the perfect shot. They are also among the last in the business to run a reasonable price. Hire them ASAP!

Cassia Karin Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves San Simeon, CA

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"

Modern, Romantic and Fun – isn’t that what we want in all wedding photographers. We interviewed several wedding photographers to ensure we picked the right photographer for how we wanted to capture our love on such a special day. Within a couple minutes of talking with Cassia my fiancé and I both looked at each other with a look that was yup this is the one. Cassia spent time getting to know us and we were so happy to see her giving her time at a charity event we attended later in the year after we had booked her. This reconfirmed that she was the right pick. Leading up to the wedding Cassia was great with communication and preparing us for what to expect. On the day of the wedding it had been raining but you wouldn’t know it Cassia and her team were calm and ready to make our day happen regardless of weather. Cassia assured me we would still get the shots we had discussed and that we would creatively figure things out. We have about 20 pictures that she sent to hold us over until the rest are finished and oh my gosh they are so lovely. We have been getting tons of compliments on how she captured our love. Thank you Cassia for getting to know us so that you could capture the most intimate and personal moments as we start our married life together. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos – we are sooo excited! We highly recommend Cassia and her team of photography professionals!

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.

Savannah Grace Photography was the perfect wedding photographer for our special day. Her communication style was effective, respectful, and kind. She was incredibly organized, which allowed us to get through all of our wedding party, family, and solo photos quickly during cocktail hour. Savannah made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and beautifully captured all the emotion and happiness of our wedding. The final photos were absolutely stunning - warm, professional, and exactly the vibe we were going for. Savannah listened to our preferences and helped us through posing and set up of photos so we didn’t feel awkward at all. We are thrilled with the results and couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding day.

I value your time with your loved ones, and I photograph from that framework. One of my core values is honoring family and friends, and I reflect that as part of my brand and company. We prepare beforehand, so we can move through formal photos with ease, and get you to your dance party sooner! Meaning, photos won't drag on for hours... we've all been to one of those weddings, right? That won't be yours. When you become my client, you become my people. What does that mean for you? 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. If you need a photographer look no further pick Taylor she won’t disappoint, she is so fun to work with and you get the best shots.

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!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Nichole at Mates of Soul! From the moment we met, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Neither of us are big “posed photo” people, but Nichole captured everything so naturally — every smile, laugh, and candid moment felt so genuine. She has the best personality — fun, upbeat, and such great energy — it honestly felt like hanging out with a friend who just happened to be taking the most beautiful photos ever! She got every shot I hoped for (and then some!) and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. Our photos are absolutely stunning, and every time I look at them, I’m reminded of how fun the day was. I’d recommend Nichole a thousand times over to anyone looking for not only incredible photos, but an incredible person behind the camera.

Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals! I scoured through hundreds of photographers before I came across Xenia and honestly, none of them compared to her work and eye for photography. Stop your search and book her; I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Xenia and Mark!

I want you to look back on your images and be able to still feel the emotions within them for decades to come, truly.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ll be honest… when planning my wedding, something I was very nervous about was my wedding photos. I am a very camera shy person and was anxious about being the center of attention when it came to my wedding day. But working with Fatima made it so easy and seamless! Initially we didn’t plan on doing engagement photos, but Fatima includes them in her wedding package and they turned out great! My husband and I didn’t have much experience in front of the camera and it helped us break the ice and be more comfortable with photos when it came to the actual wedding day. Fatima really takes the time to make sure you are comfortable and yourselves, which we both really appreciated. From the introductory video call to the emails and texts leading up to the wedding day, we felt supported and confident in our photographer and vendors. The actual day itself was a piece of cake for us, even in front of the camera!

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph.

We started capturing weddings through covid when we were stuck at home and needed to find some way to be creative. Savannah went to school for videography and Jon is an OG drummer turned videographer that has really enjoyed getting to create.

They are incredible people who value integrity and genuinely care about the work of other vendors as well. The Jaramillos go above and beyond what's expected, ensuring they capture the overall vibe of the wedding. They are unlike any other photographers I've worked with - friendly, passionate about their craft, and truly invested in making the day a success.

Holly Castillo Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the beginning, Holly's communication was quick and easy, making the planning process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was very laid back and intuitive, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without us even noticing she was there. Holly's expertise and talent were evident in the stunning photos she delivered - we were blown away by how beautifully she documented our day. We loved working with Holly so much that we've continued to use her for our yearly family photos ever since, and wouldn't want anyone else to capture these memories for us.

I’m Mysi (pronounced, boringly, “Missy”)! I’ve been at this thing for 12 years and I keep falling more and more in love with it all. Give me intimate micro-weddings, quirky dive bar weddings, raucous South Asian weddings... my team and I absolutely thrive in chaos and emotion. My specialty is catching the moments and those tiny moments in between. ✨✨✨

Soda Fountain Photo was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From the beginning, their communication was easy and they always responded quickly to any questions we had. On the day of the wedding, Mysi, the lead photographer, was an absolute joy to work with - she had such a sweet and fun energy that put us (and our bridal party) at ease. Most importantly, Soda Fountain Photo captured all the special moments of our wedding day with creativity and care. We are thrilled with how the photos turned out and feel they truly reflected the love and joy of our celebration. We highly highly recommend Soda Fountain Photo and feel so lucky to have had Mysi as a part of our story.

Michael, made my day feel like a breeze he helped out in every aspect between getting people where they need to be getting people out of the way getting amazing shots asking us what we wanted talking with us openly I could not have asked for a better photographer. I chose him out of his work and I will choose him over and over again he's amazing and got absolutely everything I wanted.

Based in New England & California, I capture celebrations of love and guide them through a layered visual process—transforming them into tactile keepsakes. My work blends editorial storytelling with an experimental approach, resulting in deeply personal and textured imagery. Alongside creative direction, my experience allows me to be an advisor for timeline shaping so the day moves with intention and room to breathe, building a collaborative storyboard, capturing visual analog film & super 8
