Grace Kathryn Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Avila Beach, 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.

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.

Hello! I'm Mike:) I'm a Christian and dedicated father to my 3 amazing children. Some of my favorite things are adventuring, travelling, eating, reading, seeing the Angels play and going to all kinds of concerts. I am also an avid Spartan racer!

We are so very glad that we found Michael to do our wedding and engagement photos! He came on recommendation from a great videographer in the area. From the minute we booked with him we got exceptional service and quality product. He made us feel very much at ease in doing our engagement photos. He knew where the best locations were and how to tell us to pose (or not pose). On the day of our wedding he took control of the kinds of photos he knew we wanted. The photos came back in a very timely manner and were outstanding. Our friends often comment on how beautifully done they are. He was so good that we continue to book him every single time we need photos taken. The walls in our house are covered in Michael's photos and they are absolutely gorgeous.

Allyson has been a creative being since her feet hit the earth. She's inspired by the beauty surrounding all of us, but tends to capture it in a way not seen by everyone. Love for photography found Jill working with Allyson 9 years ago, Allyson quickly realized Jill's talent and her radiant demeanor in working with people. Jessica came walking through the studio door in 2010 for an editing position and Allyson knew the moment she walked in, she would be a part of the team. Dressed to the “T” and accessorized with a happy smile, she’s worked in nearly all capacities of AM Photography over the past 6 years.

Fox & Fig Photography

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't think that I can sing the praises of Fox and Fig enough (pun completely intended since I am a music teacher!)!! We couldn't be HAPPIER with our wedding photos from Fox and Fig Photography! Sarah and her second shooter made our day so MAGICAL and we are mesmerized by our images! As a PLUS SIZE BRIDE, I experienced THE WORST engagement session through another photographer. The angles were horrible and the posing was weird/awkward and my (now) husband and I just cringe when we look at them. It was definitely the thing I worried about the most for our wedding photos. AND THEN WE MET SARAH. Sarah is the most down-to-earth and sweetest soul you will ever meet. Her confidence and genuine love for her clients are what immediately drew me to her. She really took the time to learn about us and to understand our vision for our images. She also immediately assured me that our images would be DRASTICALLY different than our engagement photos and that she was comfortable with creating flattering lines and posing of couples of all shapes and sizes. AND LET ME TELL YOU, she did not disappoint!! SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING! My goal for our wedding day was PEACE and Sarah and her second shooter fell right into "the flow". We were completely unaware of them during our ceremony and their gentle guidance through the day put everyone at ease (including my "STIFF" husband! HAHA!), which helped create the most precious moments and treasured images. Do not think twice about booking Fox and Fig! You won't regret hiring them, but I wholeheartedly believe that you will regret NOT having them capture your special moments.

Ryan Michaels Photography was a bit slow at communication, which is understandable since Ryan works a full-time job in addition to running his photography business. However, with a little patience, we were able to work through any delays. The quality of their work was beautiful, and they truly captured all the special moments of our wedding day. Ryan and his wife were friendly and enjoyable to work with, and their services were so comprehensive that we didn't even need to hire a wedding planner. Overall, we were thrilled with Ryan Michaels Photography and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

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. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares about their clients. I feel so lucky to have found her!

I can't recommend Shane O'Neill Wedding Photography enough! Had a fantastic experience with Shane and we love our photos. From our first interaction and throughout the process he was professional, prepared, enthusiastic, responsive, and open to our ideas and input. He checked in regularly with us and initiated phone calls to discuss our style preferences and plans for the day. He also took the lead on logistics for our post ceremony photo locations, all we had to do was tell him our dream photo ideas and he made it work within our time frame. He even helped us find the location of my parent's wedding photo to re-create the shot :) Throughout the day he kept things moving and super fun. We both felt comfortable in front of his camera and trusted him and his vision completely. He shared sneak peaks with us the next day and continued to send peaks until our final gallery was ready. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Shane!

Welcome. Since 2011, Lerina has been photographing weddings of all shape and sizes. She has traveled throughout the country and abroad documenting love stories and the events that surround the most magical day in a couple's life. 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 was amazing. Her photography speaks for itself. She captures the natural beauty of film without the tacky editing that has become so common. She perfected this timeless look on film and digital. What really impressed me was how she hit every single photo request and was both firm in her direction but also kind. She is a true production manager as well as an incredible photographer. We're lucky to have found her.

We’re Apollo Fotografie. When it comes to visual storytelling, we don’t miss a beat. We prioritize organization, punctuality, and beauty so your wedding day looks better than your dreams. At Apollo, inclusivity is one of our core values, and our couples come from all backgrounds. We know that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, and we’re here to help. All of our photographers use prompts and suggestions to encourage natural interactions for a less “scripted” feel.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Apollo capture our wedding day. We searched for a lot of different photographers. I wanted someone who can capture good (aka hot) bridal portraits and party pictures, and they DELIVERED. Our photos turned out so dreamy, classic, and timeless. Like seriously--I want to post them everywhere! We’ve gotten so many compliments on them. There was a little change-up, as the photographer was switched from the owner to a lead photographer Jess, but honestly, it worked out perfectly because she was such a good sport the entire day, hyped us up so much, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. That was not easy to do since we had what seemed like a million events that day. Overall they were just great to work with. We're so happy we found them. Would definitely recommend!

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.

I am a spunky, small town, California girl who grew up on the West Coast in the beautiful sunshine. In my pursuit of higher education, I was whisked away to a Scandinavian university in the busy city of Chicago, IL. It was there, amongst the many plays of Henrik Ibsen, and late nights of painting and drawing, that I found my first Nikon camera.

I truly cannot say enough good about Lena and her photography. As her client/vendor, she captures lifestyle shots of my business and workspace. Her easy going personality allows her clients to really be at ease during a sometimes stressful or flustering photoshoot. She tastefully balances color and light while maintaining simplicity and capturing “the vibe”. She’s prompt with communication and submitting final products. She’s truly is an absolute gem! You’d surely want someone like her at a special event of yours.

Welcome to my photography world! If you're here, it means you're searching for a photographer to help capture YOUR story. I have been fortunate enough to have had a part in telling the stories of thousands of individuals over the last decade through my photography. My approach is simple – I want you to cherish every moment, and I'll take care of the rest. When we work together, you can just be yourself, living in the present and embracing life's joy. I'll be there, discreetly and passionately capturing all those beautiful expressions and emotions.

Before hiring a wedding photographer, we were a bit hesitant—I’ve always been the one behind the camera, so being in front of it felt unnatural. My husband also isn’t a big fan of photos and was convinced he wouldn’t look good in them. But from the very beginning, Violet made everything so easy! Communication with her throughout the entire process was seamless. She was always responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in getting to know us. We especially loved that she used the engagement session to connect with us, which made the wedding day so much less stressful and so much more fun! We felt completely at ease, and it truly showed in the photos. Not only did we love our experience, but our bridesmaids and groomsmen also had amazing things to say about working with Violet! She made everyone feel comfortable and captured such natural, beautiful moments. And the best part? My mom said this is the most beautiful she’s ever seen herself! That alone speaks volumes about Violet’s talent and ability to make everyone feel their absolute best. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes the process stress-free, enjoyable, and delivers breathtaking photos, look no further. Thank you, Violet, for capturing memories we’ll cherish forever!

She had tips for positioning us and the photos were beautiful. When it was time for our big day, we were comfortable with her and the camera and our photos were stunning! She was able to encompass the overall feeling of our wedding with the photos. With their organic style, Britt and Matt photographed really wonderful candid and posed moments of the wedding party, family members, and guests!!

  • Serves Avila Beach, CA

Hello, I am a Northern California and destination wedding photographer that could not possibly love her job anymore! Photography has been a passion of mine since a very young age, my mom was a portrait photographer and after being in front of her camera for too many years I decided to see what the fuss was about and get behind the lens. I launched this business less than a week after graduating from UC Berkeley in 2016. ​

Claire is a wonderful photographer and has a beautiful portfolio to view. I always enjoy her quick responses and the amount of photos she takes! She is super detailed, very calm and easy to talk to. And her camera is everywhere, you will be amazed about all of the special moments she captures!
