Grace Kathryn Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Shandon, CA

I'm a California native with a wanderlusting soul. I grew up in the snowy mountains of Lake Tahoe and spent my teenage years in the rainforests of Costa Rica before returning to the West Coast of the United States to study the art of wedding photography and earn my BFA with Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California.

From start to finish, Grace was a calming, warm presence - the whole time we worked with her I felt like we were in excellent hands. She gently directed us without being "posed" or pushy. No notes. Like any engaged person, I felt some anxiety about photos since that's the thing that you get to actually "keep" after your big day. When I tell you, not only do we look like freaking movie stars in all Grace's photos, she PERFECTLY captured the EMOTION of the moment. If you didn't know better, you would think our wedding pictures were a People Magazine Exclusive or something. Just as valuable as the photos themselves was Grace's kind attitude and willingness to work with us on what we needed. It ended up raining on our courthouse day and she not only rolled with it, but got INCREDIBLE photos to boot! Long story short: HIRE GRACE!

Hi, I'm Kristyn Villars. I am a fine art wedding photographer based out of the beautiful Central Coast of California, but will happily travel to wherever your love story takes you. I love to visit and experience new places! I have always been fascinated with freezing moments in time to inspire emotion. The details, life's little moments, that's where we exist. There's something romantic about being able to document a couple's love story! My style can be described as authentic, candid, and photojournalistic, where I specialize in outdoor wedding photography. Your golden hour photos will be your favorite photos from your wedding day, I promise!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kristyn captured our wedding in September 2019 in Soquel, CA. Searching for a wedding photographer is no easy feat, but when i found Kristyn’s instagram I knew she was the one. Her work is absolutely beautiful, I mean her galleries speak for themselves. However, I also knew that I needed someone on that day who was down to earth and felt like a friend. I can’t tell you how many weddings I’ve been in where either the photographer was too assertive or just felt like a stranger. From our first phone call I immediately clicked with Kristyn. The year leading up to our wedding was definitely not an easy one, as I was battling health issues, which caused us to postpone our engagement shoot. Kristyn was nothing short of an angel with accommodating us. I will seriously never be able to thank her enough for the support she gave me that year leading up to the big day. On the day of the wedding, her and her second shooter, Beth, were so great to work with. Kristyn wore so many hats that day. She felt like my personal cheerleader, a friend, a wedding coordinator, and problem solver. I could not have imagined hiring anyone to capture our special day. We are in love with our wedding photos, and can’t wait for Kristyn to capture many more memories to come.

Hello! I'm Mike:) I'm a Christian and dedicated father to my 3 amazing children. Some of my favorite things are adventuring, travelling, eating, reading, seeing the Angels play and going to all kinds of concerts. I am also an avid Spartan racer!

We are so very glad that we found Michael to do our wedding and engagement photos! He came on recommendation from a great videographer in the area. From the minute we booked with him we got exceptional service and quality product. He made us feel very much at ease in doing our engagement photos. He knew where the best locations were and how to tell us to pose (or not pose). On the day of our wedding he took control of the kinds of photos he knew we wanted. The photos came back in a very timely manner and were outstanding. Our friends often comment on how beautifully done they are. He was so good that we continue to book him every single time we need photos taken. The walls in our house are covered in Michael's photos and they are absolutely gorgeous.

I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.

We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Their work is simply gorgeous - exactly the style we were looking for to capture our special day. On the wedding day, they made both my husband and I feel at ease, even though we are a bit awkward in front of the camera. They provided excellent guidance on posing and helped us look our best. Fox & Fig was incredibly supportive and patient with us as a nervous couple. We are thrilled with the sneak peeks of our photos and can’t wait for the whole product! I can NOT recommend Fox & Fig enough.

We’re Apollo Fotografie. When it comes to visual storytelling, we don’t miss a beat. We prioritize organization, punctuality, and beauty so your wedding day looks better than your dreams. At Apollo, inclusivity is one of our core values, and our couples come from all backgrounds. We know that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, and we’re here to help. All of our photographers use prompts and suggestions to encourage natural interactions for a less “scripted” feel.

If you are looking for an engagement and wedding photography / videography team, Apollo Fotografie is the one for you. Truly the best wedding photographer in San Francisco and in the overall Bay Area!! From our engagement shoots to our actual wedding day, the team was nothing short of amazing. When we were searching for a photo / video team, we wanted a team that was incredibly knowledgeable about cultural, Indian Hindu weddings - we looked at various portfolios, and Apollo’s portfolio stood out to us the most! We first contacted the team in August, and every single one of our communications with Liv was professional, fun, honest, engaging, and comfortable. It was like speaking with a close friend - Liv made us both feel incredibly comfortable and excited for our big day! I had to apologize to her several times for bugging her with so many questions - but she always responded quickly and transparently!! It was truly a blessing, as other vendors we were interviewing for photography were not as communicative! From then on, we knew Apollo was the team for us. Leading up to the wedding, we worked very closely with Andra. Andra is so wonderful, easy-going, and fun. Speaking with Andra on our numerous calls to discuss our vision was like speaking with a close friend as well. Our wedding calls the week of were incredibly helpful - Andra was incredibly detailed in making sure she understood which shots we wanted, going over timelines and visions with us, and ensuring that we can relax while they take care of everything and make everyone and everything look beautiful. On our wedding day, the entire team was ON TIME (I say this in caps as being on time on a tight deadline is truly important), incredibly friendly, and made us both feel very very very comfortable in our own skin. Andra, Josh, and Alexa were truly truly fantastic, professional, knew all the right angles, and were able to adjust on the fly (which is what you need in in a photo video team). The entire team had incredible vision and had such an eye for detail, knew how to pose to make it look less awkward, were cracking jokes to keep us at ease (one funny moment was when my wife and I were doing our first look, our priest and one of my close friends walked by, and they suggested doing a first look with them as well :) ) but also captured such natural, loving, fun moments of us and our family. Further, literally 2 days after our wedding, Andra sent us the most amazing sneak peeks we have ever seen. My wife and I were absolutely shocked at how beautiful the pictures came out - everyone looked so natural and loving. Further, the artistic vision as I mentioned above was clearly present in these pictures!!! Overall, I highly highly recommend Apollo Fotografie for your photo and video needs!! I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

From there she was happy to answer any of our questions and touched base with us leading up to the event till the day of. She showed up very professional but was still her kind self and didn’t hesitate to step up to help us find the best shots for bridal portraits, first looks, and more. She had no problem wrangling our families for photos, and blended in so well in some instances to get the shot. She helped us get photos with every single person at our wedding, and even led the line dances for our guests. Then when it came time to get our photos back, I was BLOWN AWAY by her editing style and hand picked photos to send back to us. You can tell that she is passionate about all of her work from being behind the camera to editing. She went above and beyond her contract and duties, and truly was so instrumental to capturing our day for us, as every time I look at our photos, I feel the emotion she captured from them. Sam is an absolute must for photography and editing!

As a devoted wedding and portrait photographer, my primary focus is on authentically capturing the genuine emotions that make up your unique story. My goal is to ensure that your special day is not just visually documented, but deeply felt.

Rafael is hands down one of the best photographers I have worked with. I used his services previously for my mothers wedding and when the day came for mine I knew he was the photographer for us. He is detail oriented, patient, creative and kind. When my husband and I decided to elope we only gave ourselves a week and a half to plan. Rafael was very accommodating to our last minute plans and made us feel as if we had planned our special day a year in advance. Rafael took the time to learn the site and plan beautiful photos accordingly. Rafael gave us great directions on how to pose and what angels would make us stand out. My husband and I are not huge on taking photos and when we received the photos we were amazed ! The photos looked natural and captured who we are as a couple. I look at these photos and feel confident and beautiful! I appreciate all the work Rafael put in to our special day ! We are so excited to share these photos with our loved ones for generations to come.

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.
