This has taken me a little while to get to writing as after wedding day life has been a little chaotic but wanted to express praise where it was well deserved. Holly exceeded my husband and I's expectations as our photographer on our wedding day. Not only was she extremely professional, but she was kind, personable and very helpful.

I'm so happy you're here! My name is Lena and I'm all about the "spices of life" thanks to my strong Scandinavian roots. My studio started and currently resides in the fields of the Santa Ynez Valley, and spans to the beautiful landscapes, architecture, and vibrant vibes of Santa Barbara County.

What can we possibly say about Lena? She was the perfect addition to our wedding day. Her communication and flexibility during the preceding year kept our minds at ease (anything you don't have to stress about while planning a wedding is a win). On the day, she was such a positive presence to have around. And from what we've seen of the photos so far, we couldn't have possibly had anyone better. Thank you so much, Lena!!

With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, I believe your wedding day deserves to be remembered as more than a collection of moments — it should feel like a rich story, with visceral emotions coursing through each scene. As a former wedding planner turned photographer, I document each chapter with an editorial eye and a genuine heart. My approach is guided by light and emotion, both intentional and effortless. Every image is composed with purpose, full of honesty and elegance, and alive with feeling. Your story is already extraordinary. My work ensures it’s remembered that way — beautifully, and forever.

A couple and their pets hiking in the woods...jumping in the waves at sunset...a bride dancing down the aisle...my goal is to document every scene of your story, so you can hold onto it forever.

Though I specialize in couples photography, engagement sessions, and weddings in the Santa Barbara / Southern California area, I’m also available for maternity sessions and destination weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sarah is a wonderful person, and the best photographer you could ever find! When we got married we didn't have the opportunity to have some photos, so we decided doing a photo session to keep it as our marriage photos, and Sarah made sure to make that moment so special! We had so much fun, even tho my husband is a little shy in front of the camera, she made us feel so comfortable, and the photos came out so gorgeous!! I can't stop staring at them! If you ever think on having a photo session, or even looking for a wedding photographer, she's your girl! I couldn't have asked for a better professional.

I remain astounded and grateful that she was able to capture so many brilliant pictures of our special day, and know that we'll cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.

Leah helped make our wedding the best day of our life. From the beginning, Leah was easy to work with, she listened closely to what we envisioned for our wedding and was able to provide us with creative ideas when we needed some help or felt overwhelmed. Leah's photography skills were superb and she provided us with so many beautiful pictures of us, our friends, venues, and so much more. Her turnaround time on getting us the photos was so quick too! Not only did she provide great photos, but she assisted as our "day-of-coordinator." Leah eased our fears so many times leading up to the wedding, she was easy to get a hold of or would reach out to us to make sure our wedding was coming together, and helped us communicate with some our other vendors when we needed an extra hand. Leah was the MVP of our wedding! You NEED her to be your photographer and she is worth every penny to be your day-of-coordinator too. We will be using Leah again for family photos!

  • Serves Solvang, CA

Your wedding deserves more than just photos—it deserves an experience. With over 15 countries captured, I create timeless, editorial, and emotionally rich images that transport you back to the moment. Every glance, every touch, every fleeting second—preserved with artistry and intention.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow. Just wow. Choosing Moments by Frank was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we reached out, Frank and his team were responsive, warm, and genuinely excited about capturing our day. It felt like working with friends who just happened to be incredibly talented photographers and videographers. On the wedding day, they blended in so effortlessly that our guests kept asking if they were longtime friends of ours. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and their energy and kindness helped ease every bit of nervousness. They knew exactly when to step in for direction and when to let moments unfold naturally. And then came the photos… breathtaking. Every image told the story of our day with raw, elegant emotion. They captured the big, epic moments but also the fleeting ones—the teary glances, the spontaneous laughter, the way our parents looked at us. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the best day of our lives, frame by frame. If you're on the fence about hiring Moments by Frank, just do it. They’re more than just photographers; they’re storytellers who will make your experience as seamless and joyful as the final product. Couldn’t recommend them more!

I love collaborating with my couples to create unique, meaningful galleries that reflect the most important moments of their days. I would describe my style as candid, emotional, dreamy, fun, and documentary-style.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the absolute best experience with our wedding photographer! From the moment she and her second shooter Lauren arrived, they brought such warmth and ease to the day. My husband and I are both notoriously awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable and natural—it honestly felt like hanging out with friends. The preview photos we’ve received so far are absolutely stunning, and I couldn’t be happier with her work. I’m beyond excited to see the full gallery. What impressed me even more was how gracefully they adapted to the day’s hiccups. Despite less-than-ideal direction, they rolled with the punches and got creative, making sure to capture everything beautifully and meaningfully. I truly can’t recommend her enough—professional, talented, calm under pressure, and just an overall joy to work with. Book her. You won’t regret it!

Hi friends! Spending time with rad people is one of my favorite things to do and getting to spend your special day along side you while capturing your love story...even better!! I lean more into micro-weddings and elopements as I love the intimate experience but am open to whatever you have planned! I'm just along for the ride:)

I am privileged to be close friends with Jenna and feel so lucky to have been able to work with such a talented friend. She did engagement and wedding photos for us. Jenna even got me to do a boudoir shoot the night before the wedding, which I would NOT have done with anyone else. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and the mood she evokes in her photos say more than words ever could. Jenna is one of the best people I know and having her by my side on the day of my wedding was paramount in calming my anxiety and making sure the day went smoothly. You will not find a more caring and professional person to work with.

I’ve been a Santa Barbara wedding photographer for 14 years, drawn to effortless, artful documentation from the very beginning. With a background in visual merchandising, marketing studies in Paris, and valuable business experience in the corporate world, I eventually returned to photography—always my first love after taking a film photography course in high school—and never looked back. More than a decade in, my love for weddings remains as strong as ever. My empathetic nature and holistic approach help create a warm, relaxed experience for every couple I work with.

Working with Emily was a dream come true! My wife and I hired her for our wedding and she ended up doing our engagement photos and the photos of our newborn baby. I don’t love photos being taken of me but she made me feel so comfortable and at home. She is so easy to work with and her photos are amazing! We are so excited to continue to work with her as our family grows.

Isle of Film Photography

(i-love-film) I really do. There is something about the tactile quality, the vibrant color, the absence of color, the patience required, the craft. Something about how it pauses each moment for just one more second in the best way possible. It’s why I let film influence the way I shoot, how I approach each wedding day, and capture each moment despite how much easier it would be to only shoot digital. My hope is that all this effort and care and passion and sentimental value translates into something so much more than a photo on a screen. That you remember the way you felt, the laughs, the tears, and all the in-between moments.

Jack was so nice to work with! He was super friendly and gave really helpful directions. The photos turned out great and I especially loved the film photos he took. I would definitely book a shoot with him again for something.

Augusta Ottillia Photography

My passion for photography was built on nostalgia. From a young age, I loved opening of the old holiday popcorn tins full of generations of family photos that my mom kept in the hallway closet. It felt magical to pull out old memories and hear my mom recall the story behind a photo. Now, I love to capture these special memories for my clients to pass down to the next generation. My job is to encourage and direct you so you feel comfortable and confident while taking photos, capturing each unique story in a creative and authentic way. I do this by creating a space for us to truly get to know each other and be ourselves.

If you are reading this review in search of a wedding photographer, you can stop the search now, because Augusta is who you want! Augusta is so talented, so easy to connect with, and takes the time to truly understand what you and your partner are hoping to capture. On our actual wedding day, there were many times we were running behind schedule, and Augusta quickly adapted and still managed to capture more than we ever hoped for, or expected. More than that, I'm not sure how many weddings Augusta has worked, but she makes you feel like the most important and special person, is so attentive, has such a calming yet commanding presence (exactly what you need, but didn't know you needed until the day is actually unfolding), and makes you feel like you've been lifelong friends. She's extremely professional, great with communication, and if I had 15 weddings, I'd want her for all 15 of them.
