I've always had a love for color and light, and a passion for landscapes and people. Ever since highschool and into college photography was just something that, no pun intended, caught my eye. I've been shooting weddings for 6 years now and there's nothing Id rather be doing. I'm married to the love of my life Rachel, sandwiches are my favorite food and I love long walks on the beach. Seriously I do :)

Dylan photographed our wedding at the Madonna Inn and did such a great job! We ended up with so many beautiful pictures that we could never decide which are our favorites and practically none of our friends were able to make it through the entire wedding album that we shared. He chatted with us in advance by phone, to go over all the details; and had plenty of good ideas for photo opportunities around the property on that day. Very happy with our choice to book Dylan on Zola!

All My Stars Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves San Simeon, CA

I first picked up a camera in high school and was instantly obsessed with the process and possibilities of capturing images. I went on to study at The San Francisco Art Institute and transferred to The Art Center, College of Design in Pasadena, earning a BFA in Photography. I began my career as a photographer in a Los Angeles product photo studio. While working there, I found I had a talent for photo retouching. I worked as a professional retoucher for many years and know what many celebrities really look like hah! I made my way back to freelance photography after having my daughter in 2013.

We LOVED working with Gennan. Out photos are spectacular, abundant and just what we hoped for. I love that she schedules a call with you to discuss your style and vibes, to get to know you a bit. She was responsive through email prior to the big day, and I was so impressed she even brought some of the inspo pics I had sent for us to recreate. She was very professional while being easy and fun to shoot with! She even resent some photos that were B&W that we wanted in color. Edits were lovely. Now our only problem is trying to choose from so many favorites.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
The first time I met them was at my sister’s wedding, I was the maid of honor at the time. Both the photographer and videographer were very professional, and my sister got beautiful pictures and a great video. I did not waste a minute when the time came for me to choose photographers for my wedding. I came up on short notice, my wedding was about 4 months from the moment I contacted them, and I was concerned that they might not have my date available, which would be really unfortunate. Luckily, they were available. The whole booking process went really smoothly, and we got them booked! I knew what to expect from them on my wedding day already, but they’ve surprised me once again! We were behind schedule, by about half an hour or so. Their service should have ended by this time, and they wouldn’t capture our grand exit from the venue. So they stayed late, at no extra charge. At that moment I understood that these guys were looking not to shoot “another wedding”, but they were looking for quality. Without the grand exit, which was really important (we made it as epic as it could be), our wedding video wouldn’t have the ending we wanted. I’m so grateful we booked them, I’ve already recommended them to a couple of my friends, they’ve also been on my wedding day and saw the pictures and the video, they left speechless! Really recommend!

Even with the delay, she was able to finish the family pictures, our couples pics, and the wedding party AND still managed to get us to the reception ON TIME!

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.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jay actually stepped in as a replacement on behalf of our original photographer, they were buddies :) The night before to the morning of, Jay was very communicative from the start & even afterward we were wrapped up from our ceremony. Of course being that this was our first time getting professional photographed as a couple, Jay guided us through poses, angles, allowing to feel very comfortable & natural in front of the camera. Plus he had a great eye when taking candid shots, which is one of the main things my husband & I wanted 3 At the of the day, he went out of his way to send us sneak peek shots of our photos & just from that kind gesture & professionalism alone, said a lot. Thank you so much again Jay for capturing such a special day for us, especially with our love ones there. All the photos turned out so beautiful!

We could not have asked for a more talented and professional photographer for our Wedding in July 2021, Christina is truly wonderful! Instantly, we were drawn to Christina's vivid and colorful photos and knew that would be a perfect match for our wedding (and personalities). From our initial consultation to the day of our wedding, Christina provided us with guidance (from locations to what outfits photograph best) to ensure that we would have the best photos. We really appreciated her honesty, but also willingness to capture what was truly special to us. Her flexibility and assurance during a planning season fraught by Covid regulations always put us at ease. And lastly, our photos were simply stunning and we will treasure them forever.

Brendan was our videographer and was using his drone to get sick footage of our venue! All three of them as well as Grace who does all the scheduling and handles all the important questions!!

I am a Central Valley-based photographer, but I am always available for travel outside the Central Valley. I focus on portraiture, wedding, and event photography. My mission is to work hard to deliver quality images and give my clients a comfortable, enjoyable experience full of smiles and laughter from the initial contact through the session and even after the final product is delivered.

Jess was beyond amazing and made our day so special. It was incredible how beautiful our pictures turned out and she captured everything I could have ever imagined and beyond. It was actually quite impressive looking through the wedding album after we received it because Jess seemed like she was everywhere all of the time. She captured every moment sometimes with different angles and I am so grateful to be able to relive our wedding day while looking through the photos. I thought I would regret not having a videographer but Jess truly captured everything from start to finish and that the day just comes back to life when I look through all of the photos. As she captured our wedding day she was soooo very patient with my husband and I, our family, and all our friends. Everyone spoke so highly of her after our wedding and really appreciated having a relaxed, caring, funny, kind, and professional photographer. She also helped me while getting ready and truly made it so I could fully enjoy my wedding. I also asked her to shoot my graduation photos and lets just say I don't think I will ever inquire for a different photographer. I am looking forward to continuing to have her capture precious moments in my life for as long as she continues photography. Thank you for being more than I could have ever hoped for and capturing some of the most memorable days in my life and making them so extremely special. You are the best Jess!!! 3

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kiersten for my wedding, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment we met, her professionalism and passion for photography were evident. She took the time to understand our vision and was super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. On the big day, Kiersten was a true pro—capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. She managed to blend into the background while still getting all the key shots we wanted. The candid shots really stood out. The final photos blew us away. The quality and creativity were top-notch, and we received countless compliments from our friends and family.

If it's your first time here, welcome! My name is Shannon Montgomery, and I am a California and travel photographer that specializes in traditional+timeless weddings and elopements. I am always up for a good hike, enjoy rainy overcast days, and will always stop to pet any dogs in reach! Working in the garden, getting to visit any possible farm animal (but especially cows), and walking barefoot make me happiest. I love seeing the beauty in things that have endured the test of time, seen across the challenges and storms, and still stand in their own kind of beauty today.

Shannon is phenomenal! As a planner, she is so easy to work with and so kind! She makes my couples feel comfortable in front of the camera and not only that, but the photos she takes are breathtaking. She is one of the kindest photographers out there with quality work to match! She will capture your day beautifully and it is always a joy to work with her.
