Grace Kathryn Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Nipomo, 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.

Grace Kathryn Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From our phone consult, her communication style was funny, laidback, and honest, which immediately put us at ease. The quality of her work was amazing - they captured all the fun and special moments of our day in a way that was both creative and helpful. She was incredibly flexible, accommodating our wedding only being a week away, and providing a quick turnaround on our photos so we could relive the day. If you have seen Friends, I am like Chandler when taking photos, but Grace made an easy process, haha. We would highly recommend Grace Kathryn Photography to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer who will make your wedding day that much more enjoyable.

Kristyn Villars Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Nipomo, CA

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!

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.

  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Nipomo, CA

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace is an amazing photographer! If I could give her 10 stars I absolutely would. She was amazing working with both of our crazy families and from the very beginning I knew that she’d do a great job capturing the special moments of our special day. She worked with everyone and did a great job explaining what everyone needed to do to get a perfect shot. She also was absolutely wonderful with our 2 year old son who would’ve climbed in the car and went home with her if he could. If I could do it all over again I would definitely always pick Grace to shoot our wedding! She was an amazing addition to the day and we are so thankful that we found her.

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.

We truly cannot say enough great things about Sarah. There aren't enough words to describe how thankful we are to have had her as our wedding photographer! Sarah is so genuine, kind, helpful, and honestly just so cool! She is so fun and fit in perfectly on our wedding day! We were nervous at first because we weren't super comfortable around the camera. Sarah put us at ease immediately. Sarah captured our day PERFECTLY! We are SO thankful to have such beautiful photos to look back on. What I love most about Sarah is how much she genuinely loves her job. You can tell she puts so much time, effort, and care into ensuring her couples are well taken care of. It is so refreshing to see someone so passionate and in love with what they do! If you're looking for a photographer who truly cares and will capture all of the amazing moments on your big day, stop your search now and book Sarah!

I had such an incredible experience working with Leslie! She is truly detail-oriented, remembering every single thing I mentioned and making sure my vision came to life. She’s so down-to-earth and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. During our engagement shoot, she guided us effortlessly, showing us how to pose in a way that felt natural and comfortable. We're both not usually in front of the camera so I worried that it would be hard but with Leslie, we felt so confident, had an amazing time and the pictures she captured were absolutely stunning! Everything about working with her, from her easy-to-use portal to her beautifully designed website, was seamless. She is not only an amazing photographer but also such a kind and loving person.

Today she calls both the desert and the coast home but feels comfortable anywhere a camera is slung around her neck, shooting on her medium of choice – film. Her work has been published and featured by Condé Nast Traveler, SELF Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, Wedding Chicks, more.

Lerina photographed our LA wedding in August 2022 and we could not have been happier with our experience with her and her team! Lerina was very organized and professional when booking our pre-wedding engagement photo session at the Santa Barbara courthouse as well as our wedding day photography. She is extremely talented, artistic and creative, and was an absolute joy to work with. She made us feel very comfortable while being photographed, was a lot of fun to be around, and made our overall experience very pleasant and memorable. Her photos from our engagement session and wedding day— a perfect mix of digital and film— turned out better than what we could have ever imagined! She thoughtfully captured all of the special moments of our wedding and we have really enjoyed reliving the day every time we look through them.

We were so worried about finding the "perfect" photographer for our big day, but Kristen Thomison was an answer to prayer! She is a precious person who goes above and beyond to make sure the client has exactly what they want and envision. Before booking with her, she made me a Pinterest board of what her vision was for our big day based on our venue parameters and our personal wishes. This extra detail that she chose to provide helped me to feel settled in my decision, trusting we had the same vision! Furthermore, she gets to know her clients on a personal level so she can write our story pictorially. She is incredible and gives her heart and soul to what she does!

Rafael Garcia Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Nipomo, CA

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.
