Sarah Peterson Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,888
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

You should stop scrolling through photographers because I'm here to tell you, Sarah is the one. She is extremely professional, talented, compassionate, creative, and can make absolutely every one of her clients feel understood and comfortable. She flew out to Washington to take our engagement photos at the Olympic National Park and the entire day was one of my favorite memories. Not to mention she sent me sneak peeks of the photos within a couple of hours - incredible editing skills and extremely fast service. I'm going to cherish these photos forever and we are SO excited to have her as our wedding photographer in June. Thank you for everything, Sarah!

Hi there, Im Savannah! I discovered my passion for photography at 15 years old, when I first picked up my grandpa’s camera and instantly fell in love with capturing moments. When I'm not behind the lens, you’ll find me enjoying sunsets, jamming out to live music, hanging out with my dog, Paisley, or savoring some authentic Italian cuisine (though Mexican food is a close second!). I cherish the joy of transforming clients into friends and hope we can connect over some of these shared interests. Whether we’re exploring new places or just hanging out in the stunning central coast, I’m eager to bring your vision to life.

Savannah Grace Photography was the perfect wedding photographer for our special day. Her communication style was effective, respectful, and kind. She was incredibly organized, which allowed us to get through all of our wedding party, family, and solo photos quickly during cocktail hour. Savannah made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and beautifully captured all the emotion and happiness of our wedding. The final photos were absolutely stunning - warm, professional, and exactly the vibe we were going for. Savannah listened to our preferences and helped us through posing and set up of photos so we didn’t feel awkward at all. We are thrilled with the results and couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding day.

I value your time with your loved ones, and I photograph from that framework. One of my core values is honoring family and friends, and I reflect that as part of my brand and company. We prepare beforehand, so we can move through formal photos with ease, and get you to your dance party sooner! Meaning, photos won't drag on for hours... we've all been to one of those weddings, right? That won't be yours. When you become my client, you become my people. What does that mean for you? I'm there for you, and I have your back. I want to give you gorgeous photos that show the joy of your day, without having to miss all the fun stuff.

Tayler is literally the best! Picking the right photographer was such a big decision for our wedding and we are so thankful we picked Tayler, not only did our engagement pictures come out amazing (we only took them like 8 weeks before the big day to practice) but our wedding pictures were soo awesome. We both have strong, opinionated families and she was able to manage them effectively. Everyone complimented her personality and our pictures aquickly and they were sooo beautiful we couldn’t even pick our favorites. If you need a photographer look no further pick Taylor she won’t disappoint, she is so fun to work with and you get the best shots.

I cannot recommend Drzazga photo enough. They photographed my engagement and wedding photos. I’ve never had professional photos done and Carly made me feel so comfortable during the whole process! Our photos were beautiful and you can tell we were having a good time taking them. I originally hired her for my wedding before the pandemic changed our plans. She went above and beyond during the rebooking and planning process. She even connected me to a pop up wedding service that allowed my husband and I to have a small intimate, but covid friendly, wedding in August. I’m beyond thankful for her and I can’t wait to work with her again this August!

Hi, I'm Sophia, a 27-year-old wedding photographer based just outside DC in NoVA. Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — vibrant, authentic, and joyful.

We are incredibly grateful Xenia was our engagement/wedding photographer and couldn't be happier with the results! The photos will speak to her technical talent; her professionalism and dedication to her craft are evident in every shot. It was so hard for me to only select 6 photos. What the images don't explicitly show is that Xenia was an absolute joy to work with. She is clear, transparent, and helpful in her communication. Her straightforward and friendly communication ensured we were always on the same page and felt supported throughout the process. While shooting, she is organized and efficient. We got every shot we hoped for and then some. Her enthusiasm and joy were infectious. She made these two awkward nerds feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We cannot recommend Xenia enough! We will cherish the photos you took forever!

Marijo did our maternity photos and she did an AMAZING job. From the moment I reached out for a quote, she was super informative and patient with me as I asked for suggestions on locations, outfits, etc. Not only was customer service top tier, the photos and edits were STUNNING. I was absolutely taken aback and literally in tears with how amazing all the photos came out!! Throughout the entire photoshoot, she made it so effortless and she was so easy to work with. She made it so fun and made sure to guide us the whole way and made it easy to follow directions so we wouldn't look "posed" or awkward. The entire process from start to finish was so enjoyable and I would highly, highly recommend booking AM for your photoshoot or event! 10000/10! I can't rave about my experience enough. I am so happy with how everything turned out and everyone loves our photos.

From helicopter elopements and lakeside wedding bashes to hiking engagements to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique.

Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few unique shots on top of it all.

We worked with Kathryn for our October 2024 Hindu/Jewish blended wedding and were so happy with our decision!! We spoke with MANY photographers during the planning process trying to decide who fit our style and personality leading up to our wedding. Neither of us feel super comfortable in front of the camera so it was important to us that we found someone who truly fit us and what we were looking for. Kathryn's warmth, adventurous spirit, and genuine curiosity about us as a couple really stood out, and we immediately knew she was who we wanted to work with. We had a large wedding with many Hindu/Jewish traditions making the day busy & hectic, but Kathryn's professionalism and calm attitude made us feel at ease. We really appreciated how on top of it she was, sticking to our timeline and facilitating our rather large (and rowdy!) group, all while making the staged photos seamless and the candids from the reception/baraat so special and a true representation our special day. The colors are just magnificent, and we had many guests compliment her work, fun nature, and professionalism throughout the night. Thank you Kathryn for making our day so wonderful!!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

From the moment we reached out to Birchfields, their communication was quick, thorough, and sincere. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera resulted in exceptional photographs that captured every special moment of our wedding day. Birchfields truly went above and beyond, taking unique angles and perspectives that allowed us to relive the entire day through their stunning imagery. When it’s hard to figure out which photo you want to print out and hang on the wall, you know you picked the right photographer! We could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend Steve to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

Ozan Ulucan Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with Ozan, his communication was comprehensive, outgoing and clear. It was evident he has a creative, artistic eye that would capture our day in a unique way. On the wedding day, Ozan arrived early and hit the ground running, snapping photos right away and keeping up the energy and pace throughout the entire event. His experience shone through as he was comfortable facilitating numerous group photos and offering great suggestions on positioning. Ozan also scoped out the venue ahead of time and brought us to multiple spots for one-of-a-kind photos we hadn't even thought of taking on our own. The final edited photos were delivered quickly after the wedding, and the quality was truly professional and a cut above the rest. We received so many photos organized by different times during the wedding including getting ready, ceremony, portraits, family portraits, reception, night, and details including photos of our venue, flowers, and place settings. We are thrilled with the memories Ozan was able to create for us through his exceptional work.

I am a traveling documentary wedding film photographer. For me, taking photos has always been a way to not only express myself but to connect with the people around me. Documenting life and love has become second nature to me over the last 6 years as a wedding photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dominic is a true gem! My fiance, (now husband) and I are timid in front of the camera but Dominic was able to capture the best of us anyways. We first did an engagement shoot with him where he braved the storms and wind with us to complete some amazing photos. He was able to make us feel so comfortable and capture all the right moments to bring to life our love on film. Shooting at the wedding was even more incredible. On a day that is already hectic and full of nerves, Dominic brought the calm and the fun as we shot all our photos throughout the night. His patience, humor, creativity, and amazing eye made the experience absolutely wonderful! I can't recommend him enough! HIRE HIM!

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

My name is Sarahi. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Since a child, I loved photographing with old polaroids and disposable cameras.. My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

Awarded Best of Zola
I recently had the privilege of participating in a portrait session with Sarahi, and the entire experience was outstanding. From the outset, her professionalism and warm demeanor established a relaxed atmosphere for both myself and my fiance. Sarahi invested time in comprehending our vision and offered valuable guidance to elevate the overall outcome. The communication with Sarahi flowed effortlessly, and she adhered to deadlines with precision, further solidifying the positive overall experience. I wholeheartedly endorse SarahiPhoto for anyone in search of a portrait session that seamlessly blends expert craftsmanship with a considerate and cooperative approach. She will be an excellent addition to your big day!
