Deanna Delgado Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,950
  • Serves San Ardo, CA

In 2020, I took a leap and left my 9-to-5 job to pursue my passion for photography full-time. Now, as a dedicated wedding and lifestyle photographer, I’m thrilled to capture the special moments that mean the most to you. I take pride in delivering high-quality photos and genuinely enjoy being part of your big day. Based in Aptos, I also serve the surrounding areas of the Monterey Bay region, and I’m always ready to travel wherever your love story takes us!

Awarded Best of Zola
Deanna was truly the most amazing photographer for our wedding! Neither my husband nor I had ever taken professional photos before, and to be honest, we’re both pretty awkward and camera-shy. But from the moment we booked her, she made the whole experience feel effortless. She even offered an engagement session, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. By the end of it, we were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out—far beyond what we had imagined! On the wedding day, Deanna was more than just a photographer; she was a calming presence amidst all the excitement and nerves. Her ability to guide us through poses felt so natural—never forced or uncomfortable. She has such an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments, and the photos reflect that in every frame. Deanna didn’t just document our wedding; she became a friend along the way. I can’t express how much we appreciate her talent, kindness, and professionalism. We’re already looking forward to working with her again for future milestones and photo sessions. Thank you, Deanna, for capturing our special day so perfectly—we couldn’t have asked for more!

As a wedding photographer, my connection to my couples is more important to me than anything else. Serving couples getting married in dreamy wedding locations, whether it’s a vineyard in Carmel Valley or a beach wedding in Monterey, fills my heart with so much joy. It’s always a thrill to return to venues I love, but with nearly 100 weddings in my portfolio, it still surprises me how different each and every wedding day truly is. The menu you choose, the music you dance to, the color palette that inspires you - it all comes together on your wedding day to tell your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I would recommend Dana Arnold Photography to anyone in search of a photographer who is just as much the clients best friend as she is their photography. She can relate to anyone and be herself while maintaining a level of professionalism that is come to be expected with a high end photographer. She puts clients at ease, jokes and laughs and delivers amazing photographs. Highly recommended.

Hi, I'm Jenn Petty. I'm a wedding photographer based in Monterey, California and I travel worldwide capturing all people's love stories. I believe in equality, representation, and being kind to everyone. I believe in promoting self-love, confidence, body-neutrality, and general badassery into each of my clients. You don't need to always love your body or the way you look because that's just not realistic. But you shouldn't let it hold you back from enjoying life because you're so amazing and so so much more than your weight

After we took our engagement photos with Jenn I knew it was a match made in heaven…. She was such a professional and made us both feel very at ease. We aren’t huge on posing for pictures for hours, but Jenn and her team made it super fun and relaxed! She gave us plenty of tips and direction on how to pose, but also allowed us to have some really genuine moments that were captured absolutely perfectly!! After working with her for our engagement session, I felt so at ease leading up to the wedding knowing she was going to capture everything I wanted (plus more!!). She truly made my wedding day run so smoothly, it wouldn’t have been nearly as relaxing and stress free if it weren’t for her. From helping with timelines, to making adjustments for a rainy morning…and stepping in literally wherever she was needed, I truly felt like she had my back! Jenn and her team (shout out JoJo and Leslie - y’all are the best!) are truly amazing and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

Ashley and her crew were fantastic, always making sure we were on top of the timeline and getting the exact photos we wanted. They brought out the best in us in every single shot, capturing all the special moments of our day. From Day 1, Ashley passed our vibe check instantly and was always just a text, email or call away, giddy about our nifty and crazy ideas. Her team was incredibly flexible, and we had an absolute blast working with them. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and videographer to document our wedding - they truly made the experience unforgettable.

Aladdin Films went above and beyond our expectations. They have a lot of experience, and it shows in the way they made our wedding memories special. They’ve handled everything professionally, from our first meetings to getting things sorted with contracts and payments. At first, we were thinking of ordering them for just 7 hours, but after listening to their expertise we discovered that a full-day package would suit us much better. They instructed us during wedding planning and on our big day, they worked extra hard to capture every moment. Our wedding video and photos were not just nice; they were absolutely amazing.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Jade. She was professional, attentive, flexible, creative, knowledgeable, personable, passionate about her work, warm, and just a lovely person to work with. We found her portfolio on Wedding Wire and really liked her style of photos. When we reached out, she was very thorough and clear in the packages that she offered and always responded quickly. Based on the price and her photos, it was an easy choice for us to book her as our wedding photographer. My husband and I chose to get married at San Francisco City Hall, so we also wanted someone who had lots of experience at this venue and Jade did not disappoint. After we booked her, she scheduled a planning meeting with us one week before our wedding date. I loved that she enjoyed getting to know us as a couple and our love story and gave us tips on poses and where to get my bridal bouquet. On our wedding day, Jade arrived early and greeted us, super excited to photograph our wedding. She was very knowledgeable in where to go for the best photos and suggested many poses for us to try. She was also very attentive to our needs and energy levels and checked in with us often as it was a busy day. It took about 2 months for us to receive the photos and we are in love with them. They captured our sweetest moments and brought us right back to our wedding day. Lastly, you can tell how passionate Jade is as a photographer by the way she talks about photography and capturing wedding moments. Thank you, Jade, for your hard work and dedication to our wedding photos. We will enjoy them for a lifetime and we hope to work with you again in the future! :)

I had the great pleasure of working with Nicole for an event at Kings River Winery in Dec. 2021. We had a pretty complicated family situation during this event that could have caused issues for the timeline. But Nicole was able to help keep the bride moving and calm. And kept up with the timeline like a champ! Rolling with the punches is such a great trait for a wedding vendor to have because events can take on a life of their own. Nicole was able to keep up with the events needs and still completed her job fabulously. Additionally after the event she was lovely enough to send over a vendor gallery that does wonders for other business. Which shows her understanding of the nature of our industry, her care for others and her ability to work well with others. If I could give more stars I would!

As your wedding photographer, a significant part of my role is to consider the fine art aspects of the galleries I create. Things like choosing the best light to fall over your wedding gown, balancing compositions, blending color, and layering textures to create dynamic and beautiful images. But it's much bigger than that. Photographs tell our stories, reveal emotion in ways that words can't, and offer the gift of visual legacy. An artfully told story transcends time. Beautiful photographs require exceptional artists. And you deserve exceptional art.

Hi I'm David! Professional Wedding Photographer, snowboard-bum at heart, proud Dog Dad 🐾, and husband to my wonderful wife, Phoebe. I started White Umbrella Photography for the same reason most people would start their own business, to pursue my passion and experience more out of life. And so far it's been an honor to capture such intimate and honest moments. I've laughed, shouted for joy, and even cried for a lot of the couples I've worked with, all from behind the camera. I really do find myself smiling ear to ear after each wedding, being reminded of how rad it is to love someone and be loved in return.

I highly recommend hiring David as your photographer!!! We had hired him as our wedding photographer for 120 guests in August! He was very communicative throughout the whole process, starting with initial meetings on understanding what our vision of our day was— highlighting what would be the important things to us to photograph, especially as we had a very religious ceremony. On the day of our wedding, he brought so much warmth and ease into the busy day! He was very assertive to direct our large family and bridal party during photos and was very creative/directive in all of our poses. I absolutely loved how he was with us the whole day, being behind the scenes but guiding what we do, very friendly, strongly professional, and all of his photos came back to us ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! They were such high quality and immensely beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend having David be apart of your biggest day, you will not regret his craftsmanship and partnership.

Hi There! I'm Katherine (or Kay!). I've loved weddings for as long as I could remember and I believe I have one of the best jobs in the whole world. I love being able to capture moments from one of the best days of a couples lives and I get to do it alongside my best friend, my Husband. You could call us nerds; we love Harry Potter, puzzles and video games. Our favorite vacation spot is definitely Las Vegas and we both love good Mexican food. We have two fur babies; Bella and Betsy and yes they are so spoiled. The Husband, Abraham (or Bram) is also an engineer when he's not capturing weddings and a Cal Poly alum.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kay and Bram were an absolute joy to work with! It also helped they are total dog lovers like my husband and I, and captured the absolute best images of our boy, Maverick. I don’t think there was one moment where we were NOT smiling or laughing around these two, and it put my anxious mind completely at ease. They are affordable, hard-working, and completely matched our photography vision (lighter) for our most important day. I don’t think there are enough words to express my gratitude for the talent these two possess, but for now…thank you, Kay and Bram, for everything you have done for us. We truly adore you and are so lucky to have befriended you! - Chelsea, Neal, and Mav

Look no further, because you've just found the queer fairy godmother of your dreams! I'm Jenni, a nonbinary lesbian planning my OWN wedding - so I know firsthand how important it is to have inclusive vendors who hype you up and support you 100%. I'm not just "inclusive", I'm literally queer! I specialize in proposal/engagement sessions and elopements/small weddings (<65 guests) in the SF Bay Area. If you're looking for a gallery of colorful "looks like it felt to be there" photos so you can relive your big day for the rest of your life, I'm your girl! Plus, I'm happy to work with wedding planners and vendors to make your vision a reality.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was great having Jenni photograph our wedding. As a fellow queer, there was a level of comfort and understanding that was nice to not have to think about. And she sure knows her way with a camera. We had her dealing with unfavorable lighting (noon sun under leafy trees) and difficult angles (hills) and she gave us some beautiful pictures. She has a good eye and is a quick thinker. She speaks up about what she needs and will do what needs to be done to serve her client. And the editing was done quickly!

Hello! Thank you for stopping by and checking out my work! I have been a photographer since age 14 and started my business in 2004. I photograph wedding all over the world and here to meet wonderful new couples that would like to get creative together. If I'm not somewhere traveling and photographing, I'm at home snuggling with my baby son and cute little doggy!

Arina is hands-down my favorite photographer I’ve ever gotten to work with, as a fellow vendor (florist), and as a client ~ we hired her for our wedding! She was easy and really fun to work with, quick and concise with communication; she is not shy in giving directions to achieve the perfect, effortless shot. She has a great selection of clothing available for rental, as well. If you want a whimsical AF experience with the photos to prove it, hire this woman. She’s a truly talented artist!
