Jess Lizette Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

Hi there! I'm Jess, a 24 year old photographer with an eye for capturing your candid love story! I've always had a love for art and from the moment I picked up my first camera in 2019 everything has just fallen into place. I went to college on a tennis scholarship and finished with a degree in history and psychology. Regardless of that, photography has surpassed any career expectations I could've ever imagined for myself. I truly love what I do and I believe that shows in my work. Besides my love for capturing your love story I have over 5 years of wedding industry experience. From part-time bridal shop work, catering and now photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Jess on a styled shoot and she was amazing to work with! She was so professional, her images were stunning and her turnaround time for edited photos was some of the fastest I've worked with. I'd recommend Jess for any special occasion, but especially a wedding day

Shawnee Custalow Studios

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Hi loves! I’m Amanda, a San Diego based traveling photographer devoted to documenting romantic wedding moments and preserving the essence of the big day with imagery. I absolutely love having fun with my couples and getting them comfortable in being exactly who they are to capture in images! I have been a photographer for 10+ years and have fallen in love with being the person who showcases a couple’s love through creative imagery. I’ll be your biggest hype man, get you laughing with your partner and capture every emotional moment that should never be forgotten!

Amanda and KC were amazing! My fiancé and I were hesitant to take engagement photos at all—we are both awkward and don’t pose well for photos. Amanda and KC were very relaxed, casual and FUN! They made us laugh the entire time and everything felt so easy & comfortable. AND THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL! First, we don’t look awkward (big win). And second, the settings/backdrops/lighting they chose were exactly what we were looking for. Great experience and would highly recommend for anyone looking for engagement photos.

Alexandria Vail Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

Hi! I'm Alex, and I accidentally fell into wedding photography in 2015 when I was covering for a sick photography friend. I had no idea that the least amazing thing about weddings are the pictures (what?!). Let me explain, the moments that I get to experience when two sides of a family come together to celebrate their loved ones for the first (and most likely last time simultaneously) is a kind of a magic you have to experience in order to appreciate. It's pure magic. Trying to capture the feeling of that once in a lifetime experience is what drives me, and all of your beautiful details, decor, and portraits are a very close second!

Book Alexandria for your wedding or any special event! You will be so happy. Alexandria was a dream to work with. She went above and beyond. She is very professional and super talented. We are absolutely in love with our engagement session and wedding photos. Alex made us feel so comfortable. She truly captured the best moments. We loved her energy, she was a joy to work with. We are so thankful to have her be a part of our wedding day. We will continue to use her to capture all of our life moments and will forever cherish our lovely photos.

Leading up to the wedding, she was super responsive to all my questions and when the big day came along everything went so smoothly. Alyssa even fixed my makeup when I cried it all off after the ceremony!! We love our pictures so much. They capture the day perfectly and I don’t think anyone could have given me the simple outdoorsy/elegant summer camp vibe that I wanted except for her. I couldn’t recommend Alyssa and her husband enough!!

Want a trusted, unobtrusive, thoughtful pro photographer friend on your wedding day? Someone to capture the way the wedding FEELS as well as it looks. A little direction during portrait time, a little leadership during family portraits, and near invisibility all other times? I think you’re onto something. I’m in. What's exciting? What’s important? What's confusing? Let’s sit down for a discovery meeting and I’ll ask, listen, lay out options, and share suggestions. I want to learn about you. I'm on your team 100% before, during, and after your wedding. Bonus: I've shot 400+ practice weddings before yours and I absolutely LOVE what I do!

We found Olivia to be a wonderful, skilled photographer! Her eye for composition is creative, yet she demonstrated the connectiveness of us as a couple. The one thing that stands out is how Olivia totally put us at ease by using innovative ways to relax us as we were posing. She had us, as we were holding a position close to each other, to tell each other 3 things we love and appreciate about each other. This of course brought smiles and was totally relaxing and sincere. She made us so relaxed and comfortable . As a result , the photos look completely natural. We actually became engaged the afternoon, immediately after these photos were taken. She made the moment so relaxing and magical. It was serendipity. I recommend her highly, and will be spreading the word amongst my friends and contacts. We will treasure these photos forever.

De La Rosa Wedding Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,250
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

MODERN ROMANCE DOCUMENTED EXCEPTIONALLY Named after my mother Ana Rosa, De La Rosa strives to help you slow down, be present and be yourselves on your wedding day. We believe being present on your wedding day will bring out the best in you and your partner. Giving an authentic and fun experience while having a timeless and editorial look.

Sebastian took our wedding photos and I'm in love with them! Me and my husband are not typically in front of a camera and unsure of how to pose, Sebastian helped us feel so so comfortable and gave us direction and different poses so there was more variety than just the one typical pose. He was so sweet and patient when it came to our families, he also speaks fluent Spanish and English which was perfect for our American/Peruvian wedding (my parents don't speak Spanish and my husband's parents don't speak English.) Not only was his personality off the charts, his photography skills were also outstanding. He caught the sweetest moments between my husband and I as well as with our families. He captured details of the wedding that I would probably forget if we didn't have pictures (table settings, my nails, decorations etc) and the quality was stunning. We couldn't be more grateful for Sebastian as a person and as a photographer, look no further cause he's the whole package!!

Vivian Chen Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

My style is natural and photojournalistic. I love capturing unscripted moments because those are the type of photos that tell a richer story of your day. Working with me means nothing overly posed, nothing awkward, nothing that doesn't feel like YOU. While we'll spend some time doing portraits, my priority is for you to be present and enjoy your wedding day. I like to shoot discreetly with an emphasis on candids so from the moment you first see each other to that last hilarious toast, you’ll be relaxed and focused on one another and not even noticed I’m there.

We cannot recommend Vivian highly enough for your wedding photography! We had multiple guests compliment her professionalism and stealthiness on the day of the wedding. Vivian’s calm demeanor was MUCH appreciated on the hectic wedding day. She is a superstar. She made sure we didn’t fall behind with our timeline even though we had requested a large number of portraits. Even though we’re a bit camera awkward Vivian was great at posing us and guests for shots. But where Vivian really shines is all of the candid shots that capture the pure joy and excitement of the day! She was so fast to provide us with our wedding photos, and we love looking back at them. The photos are framed well, have true to life coloring, and are just beautiful.

Located in SF. As a Photographer; I'm a storyteller. My imagery captures a harmony of raw emotion, authentic evanescent moments, and curated artistry. I believe in camaraderie with my couples to create beautiful memories, love stories shared over wine & a fire-pit and giving back with each wedding I book. I champion for kindness and giving back. My couples echo this right back. They are stylish, authentic and plan amazing details but also know how to pop the champagne and head to the dance floor.

Animus-Art photography consists of two amazing humans, Pedro & B, who are even more perfect when they come together. Working with them on our engagement and wedding was nothing short of a fun adventure. My husband and I are not exactly naturals on camera, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at the images they captured. Pedro & B are fun, creative, passionate, hard-working and incredibly talented!! They go above and beyond to get the perfect shot! Their work is exceptional and speaks for itself. I couldn’t imagine the images being any more perfect. But aside from that, Pedro & B offer something truly special with their personalities and work ethic. They weren’t just our photographers- especially on the wedding day- they took on so many roles. They were like the best friend who never left our sight. While we were getting ready, Pedro spent much of the time with my husband and the boys, and B stayed with me and the girls. B was my superwoman on my wedding day. She wasn’t just one of my photographers - she was my maid of honor, my friend, my event coordinator, my personal assistant, my therapist. She just seemed to be there every second of the day, willing and ready to help out in every way. All this, while she snapped hundreds of beautiful, creative photos. Pedro is the kind of photographer who listens while you describe your ideal look to your hair dresser so that he can make sure it stays that way all night. And as he prompts you to fix your hair 3 hours into your reception, you smile with pride because you know you hired the best photographers in the world. The level of attention they pay to detail is unreal! They anticipate your needs before you even know about them. They capture real moments in a beautiful way. They know how to take photos while letting you be yourself- no constant stopping and prompting. In my opinion, those make for the best shots. They have so much fun doing what they do, it’s infectious. I am so so happy that they were our wedding photographers and hope to have them capture other important events in our future. Absolutely THE BEST!!!

Two artists with over twenty years of combined photography experience, Todd & Adam are a premier husband-and-husband wedding photography team. The duo partnered together in 2018 and have since photographed weddings around the country and internationally, utilizing their unique style and technical skillset to tell joyful love stories with intention and lyrical artistry. Their work features in renowned publications such as People Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, BRIDES, Out Magazine and many others. The duo splits their time between homes in Palm Springs and Boston and accepts destination wedding assignments globally.

Todd is an incredible wedding photographer - as both a fellow wedding vendor and as a bride my experience with him was absolutely outstanding. As a colleague, it was a always a joy to arrive to an event to find that Todd was the photographer - his warm demeanor and kindness made every event we collaborated on extra special. Couples clearly adored him - I've known clients who returned to Todd after their weddings for family portraits, baby showers, birth announcements and all the other life milestones that he helps to commemorate with gorgeous photographs. I have recommended Todd to my dearest friends and cannot say enough good things about his incredible eye, warm presence and commitment to his craft.   When it came time to have my own wedding, there was no one else I could have imagined capturing the details of the day. Todd was an absolute joy to work with and his exquisite skill as a photographer made our wedding day incredibly special. As a very shy person, I was nervous about being photographed but Todd put me at my ease immediately and managed to make me feel relaxed, calm and centered enough to enjoy the day. Todd has a wonderful eye for composition and capturing the most beautiful and touching candid moments. As part of my getting ready photos, Todd took a picture of of me petting my beloved cat and that black and white photo is still one of my favorite photographs ever - both because it captures something intimately personal with deep significance, but also because it is a gorgeously composed work of art.   In addition to making beautiful photos, Todd's warmth, good humor and palpable love for his work make him a dream to work with. It's impossible not to smile around Todd, not just because he's taking your picture, but because his gentle energy makes you feel completely at your ease and cared for - his own smile radiates joy. Todd effortlessly manages all the complex details that go into capturing each and every moment of your special day and the results are breathtaking. I cannot recommend Todd highly enough!

Paige is a California wedding and portrait photographer, specializing in romantic wedding days for couples who value art and intentionality in their planning and imagery. Based in San Diego, but available for destinations worldwide.

When we came across Paige's work on the internet, we just knew that we wanted her to be our photographer for our wedding. Her eye is so great and she does what few photographers can, capture the emotion present with her lens. Our wedding was supposed to be a very large, 2 day affair. Then covid decided to put the kibosh on it all and our wedding turned out to be the 2 of us, an officiant and Paige. She beautifully rolled with the punches during this time and elegantly communicated with us and gave us wonderful client service in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. She is a true class act. We ended up shooting 2 different days in 2 different cities, both indoor and outdoor and even next to the Palm Springs windmills in 60 mph wind gusts! Paige was a true trouper and had all the right gear for every occasion. My (now) husband and I previously didn't really like the way we looked in photos hardly ever and were a bit concerned. We expressed this to Paige. The photos that we got back from her blew our minds. We loved all of them! It was so hard to narrow it down to show people! She not only captured light beautifully and has a wonderful eye for detail but she truly captured our love through her lens and made us feel beautiful. To top all of that off, she is an amazing human as well. Paige is a joy to work with and a brilliant photographer. I highly recommend working with her for any occasion.

I’ve always had a love for photography, art and design. I first picked up a camera in 2009 during a high school film class and haven’t stopped shooting since. My photography is inspired by nature’s beauty and life’s beautiful details. I have an infatuation with natural light, details & beautiful scenery. I strive to create light-filled, romantic & timeless imagery, from capturing all the small details to the raw emotional moments. This is my dream job and I’m thankful for it every day.

I honestly cannot thank Taylor enough. As a "COVID bride" many things about our wedding did not go as planned and there were plenty of emotions that came with that. However, when I received my GORGEOUS photos from Taylor, it meant the world to me to have something beautiful, over the top, and PERFECT during a time when so many things have taken unexpected turns. She was so professional on the day of, fast, knew all the "good angles", and made us feel so comfortable! I cannot say enough about her.

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.

Hi, I’m Kayla! I moved to Austin in 2013 to pursue my career as a graphic designer (and eat all the tacos/pet all the dogs). While working as a designer at an Austin start-up, I directed and photographed marketing campaigns for the brand’s clothing line. During this time, I realized I was happiest when I was connecting and shooting with people. I transitioned to wedding photography after a childhood friend asked me to document her wedding in 2014. I was immediately drawn to the energy, emotions, and connection that I witnessed at the wedding. After that, I decided to dive headfirst into becoming a wedding photographer and never looked back!

Kayla was the absolute perfect match for us. We had our engagement and wedding photos completed with her, and we were looking at many different photographers. However, I fell in love with her effortless mixture of posed and candid shots. The entire way through the process, Kayla reaches out and communicates with you and helps you choose your engagement outfits/where to get them done. She also helps you with your wedding timeline and asks for a must have photo list. She has great informative material she sends you to help you with all your choices. I thought our engagement photos went well, but whenever she sent them back to us, I WAS STUNNED. I absolutely love them. They are such great quality and I have them printed out all over our house. Kayla is SO easy to work with and so full of joy and encouragement. She tells you exactly how to pose. She makes the entire process so fun and exciting. I cannot recommend Kayla enough! For our wedding, we had so many setbacks through our entire weekend – that we were pushed to have a backyard wedding and it looks like nothing even went wrong. I LOVE her work and I LOVE our wedding pictures. I will treasure them forever, and I will be recommending her to everyone I can tell about her work. HIRE HER FOR ANY PICTURES – she will not disappoint! Thank you so much, Kayla!!

Hey there, I’m Kelsey! I’m a Southern California-based wedding and elopement photographer with a love for capturing charm locally and around the world. I'm inspired by those intimate, fleeting moments—like your hands intertwined or that infectious, spontaneous laugh—that tell your unique story. My goal is to turn these memories into artful, timeless photographs. Whether you’re celebrating love, family, or life’s special moments, I’m here to document your genuine connection and joy. Let’s create stunning images that become cherished treasures for years to come!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our big day! Everything was of course super stressful for our wedding, but Kelsey made this part of our planning seamless and stress-free. We told her what style we were going for and she totally nailed it. She made sure to pay attention to the details we wanted captured (and a couple insecurities we mentioned) She was super easy to work with, laid out a detailed plan for the day, and went with the flow when plans changed. Our photos turned out beyond perfect and we literally want to put them everywhere in our house. Highly recommend Kelsey!

Stavan was an amazing photographer for my wife and I. He was so responsive throughout the process, and we planned our wedding for over 9 months in the middle of a pandemic, so there was need for LOTS of communication! Stavan and his assistant were unbelievably professional. He took incredible photos and got them back to us before we even finished our honeymoon! We would highly recommend Stavan for any project or photography need. He was a pleasure to work with, and the finished project was better than we could have ever expected!

We travel the world to capture your memories with our signature style. Our two most-served bases are Indianapolis, Indiana and Charleston, South Carolina. You can expect a gallery filled with unique moments and variety, captured with our artful eye.

Her photos are unmatched! Me and my now husband, Sage, fell in love with Kassidy’s style of photography. We loved how she edited the images and what she chose to capture in them. They aren’t just wedding pictures, but they are art. Not just does she have a special talent for capturing pictures, but she is such a sweet and kind soul! We first met her at our engagement pictures, we knew she was the kind of person we want there on our wedding day. I loved that she didn’t make us feel like the entire wedding day was a photoshoot (even though she was capturing it all). Of course we had some posed getting ready pictures, after ceremony family and couple pictures, but it was so quick and we didn’t feel like it took too long from our special day. Looking at the pictures she took, I didn’t even know she was there capturing some moments. Also, we loved how she captured some guests too. It’s so special to look back and see the memories from our day captured for us to have forever. We are so happy to have chosen Kassidy!
