Randall de Leon Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Santa Ynez, CA

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
We’ve been lucky to know and work with Randall for a few years. When we finally decided to make things “official” we knew we wanted someone that does great work, that we trust, and would make us feel comfortable. We wanted our day to feel like a relaxed family event and Randall helped with that and so much more. He suggested possible locations that would meet our dream event and times to maximize the best lighting for the area. Once we settled on the location and date, he maintained excellent communication in preparation to the event to properly flesh out the day’s timetable, day of logistics, and post. On the day of our wedding he expertly directed us and our families, using the natural lighting to capture the perfect shots. We would have been lost without him, especially since no one knew how to assist with bustling my dress. During our dinner reception he seamlessly directed restaurant staff to assist in transitioning between meals/dessert/toast for more amazing shots. After the wedding he kept us updated on next steps for our pictures. Randall is truly a gem and I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone special to capture their day.

Leave it to us and make the 2nd best decision of your life, after choosing to marry your loved one, of course :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Our photographer was simply the best we could ask for our engagement and wedding. We've had a couple of photographers before in the past, and yet none of them knew how to properly guide us on how to pose for any of the photos. The photographer was a master of their work, and it shows in the photos. Sadly, our time was very limited for both occasions because of our dogs, as they got easily distracted by their surroundings, wardrobe changes, and the time frame we picked with the sunset. Thankfully, they somehow made it work by rushing everything to catch as much sunlight as possible for our photos. Thank you for capturing these special moments with us—we will refer you to all our friends for their special occasions as well!

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 :)

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Hi, I’m Gui Bittencourt — a Brazilian photographer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, specializing in multicultural and mixed-culture weddings. I create beautiful, original images and films, but what couples remember most is how they felt around me: calm, supported, and completely at ease. With seven years of experience and all five-star reviews, I bring a friendly, grounded presence to your day — the kind that helps you relax, enjoy the moment, and trust that everything is being captured with care.

Awarded Best of Zola
We discovered Gui on Zola and reached out because of his experience with photographing marriages for various cultures and from various backgrounds. Gui's photographs also caught our eye as there were great candid shots to capture the moment and sweet posed ones. When we met with Gui over zoom to get to know each other, he was kind, responsive, and knowledgable. Gui helped put us at ease, and it was a fairly quick decision to go with him after we met. We did an engagement photo session with Gui. He was very flexible when the park we wanted to do the session at was closed. We were able to pivot, and Gui took incredible photos in the new location. Gui also did not pressure us always asking if we were okay with the poses, but adjusting us for better shots. We were so happy with the engagement photos. On the day of the wedding, Gui was prompt and punctual. We took a few shots before the ceremony. During the ceremony, Gui captured all the key moments, but we also received compliments from our guests that he did not distract or take away from teh ceremony. Gui did great with the family photos and was very gracious in the many photos with friends during the reception. We cannot recommend Gui enough. His demeanor helped to relieve any stress around the photos both during the engagement session and the wedding. Gui's experience with many different couples has helped him develop cultural sensitivity which he uses to capture and highlight the unique moments of their ceremony. Thank you so much, Gui, for all your help during the wedding.

Hire Lo. You won't regret it. Not only does she know what she is doing in terms of getting all the planned shots, she got incredible candid shots and live shots of my groom and I, our families, and our guests. As we've been looking back so far at our pictures, we get to relive the emotion of the day. It's the intangible thing that an incredible photographer can do--capture the emotion. I can feel our joy radiating out of our photos and I am so grateful I hired Lo. Years from now we are going to get to experience this day over-and-over because the quality of her photos is incredible. The variety of shots she was able to get makes it seem like she had second shooter (but she's just that good). Our first look was perfect. She made sure we got some golden hour shots and then got us right back to dinner so we could eat. She also is incredible at giving minor adjustment tips to make sure we weren't doing anything weird with our hands lol. Additionally, and this was big for me, working with her ahead of the wedding she reminded me how to be excited for this day. Wedding planning was stressful, but every time I got to talk to Lo she got me back to a place of being excited and joyful. The day-of when she showed up, she helped make sure we had everything covered, and kept me calm even when some things went wrong. I felt like I not only had a great photographer, but a friend who had my back and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. I am so glad we hired Lo. My groom teared up looking back at some of these photos. Hire Lo!

Hi!! I’m Karmen. Your photographer, memory-keeper, and calm presence on your biggest day. I don’t just take pictures, I preserve what it felt like. Life moves fast, and my mission is to freeze the laughter, tears, and quiet glances into images you’ll treasure forever. My style blends documentary storytelling with editorial artistry. I’ll guide you when needed, then fade into the background to capture the moments you don’t even notice. No stiff posing, just playful, romantic prompts. I’m driven by creating something beautiful and serving others with intention. Your love is sacred, your confidence matters, and your story is your legacy.

We hired Karmen (KNCAPTURES) for our San Diego wedding and truly couldn’t be happier with that decision. From our very first call, she made us feel seen and heard — not just like another couple in the queue. We ended up choosing her biggest package because we wanted the engagement session and the custom wedding album, and both ended up being so worth it. The engagement session helped us get comfortable in front of the camera, and Karmen brought out such natural moments between us that we still get compliments on those photos. On the wedding day, she was calm, professional, and somehow everywhere at once. She captured everything — the emotional, the fun, the in-between — and delivered it all in her signature cinematic, timeless style. What really blew us away was the hardback album we worked on together after the wedding. Karmen helped us narrow down our favorites and designed something that felt truly personal. It’s sitting on our coffee table and we flip through it all the time — it tells the story of our day perfectly.

Hello there. Holy moly, I've been photographing all the pretty things, places and people for 12 years! I am a proud Mama to 3 kiddos, so I get the chaos that comes with love, life and the little ones. I love to dive right in and figure out what story I've been invited to tell. Who are you? I want to know your why. Why do you want your pictures taken and why me. Together we'll create your wardrobe with intention and choose a location that speaks to you. I always encourage connection, music, kisses and your best dance moves.
