San Luis Obispo, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,977

I don't just capture moments, I ✨create✨ them! I'm for the couples who want photos that look candid, but are actually directed so you never feel awkward!! If you're sarcastic or a dog person, I like you already...if you want emotive photos that feel like art...HIT MY LINE.

My now husband and I like to pride ourselves on being different and doing things out of your “norm”. Gradually, when it came to our wedding we wanted to do things differently and that included our wedding pictures. I found Tessa on IG and I immediately knew that her style fit our vision. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her work speaks for itself. They were everyyyything! I loved that she made me feel like I was a natural in front of the camera. Tessa is also very professional. Props to her for continuing to take our pics in the middle of the ocean while being sea sick lol worth every penny 3

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we reached out to A Nomadic Love, their communication was quick, detailed, and responsive. My husband and I no longer live in Dallas, TX and despite the time zone difference, Carly was always so easy to reach out to regarding any questions or concerns about our wedding day. Carly and Elliot were both extremely professional, but also so easy to work with throughout the entire process both before, during, and after our wedding day! Three months prior to our wedding, Carly and Elliot even came to our wedding venue ahead of time to test the lighting, which was a concern of mine since our venue was indoors and I was concerned about how everything would photograph, especially in regards to my bright red wedding dress. In addition, the two of them worked so effectively throughout our wedding in regard to the photos. My husband wanted to be surprised when I walked down the aisle, so the only opportunity to take couple’s portraits was after our ceremony prior to the reception along with getting photos with our family. Their attention to detail and ability to work within our time constraints ensured we got beautiful photos that perfectly captured the joy and love of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the service and quality of work from A Nomadic Love, and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Murtaza and the MKEShoots team for our 6-event Indian wedding, plus engagement shoot. His passion for the art was so infectious, especially since it was our first time doing professional photos. It took us some time to warm up to the camera, but once we did, well, the pictures really speak for themselves. Murtaza especially has an incredible eye for creative photo ideas, and he and the team made it so much fun even though we were stressed out with all the wedding drama. They scoped out noteworthy outdoor locations that made amazing backdrops, helped corral family members together for group photos, and just generally went above & beyond to make sure we had coverage of all the important moments - all the big things and the small details too. The photos we ended up with were beyond what I imagined, I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Now, I just need someone to help put the wedding album together.... :)

My wife and I finally saved up for our dream wedding in Hawaii, the best choice we ever had was to have Masha as our photographer! If you are tight on the funds, we opted out of a wedding planner and allocated are funds to a very good photographer. I am baseline awkward and she was able to make me look like a model! She is very professional, always on time/punctual with appointments and prompt email replies. She has a very in depth understanding of shadows, light, angles. I appreciate how she directs us on poses and she is very accommodating. She has a wide range of photography styles but we chose her for her editorial photography style like Vogue or Elle magazine, which is very hard to do. Would strongly recommend to anyone.

And by combining that with digital imagery, I create a collection of photographs that are both captivating and timeless.

Hiba removed any stress I had about photos as a nervous bride who did not feel confident or comfortable being in front of a camera all day. She spent time getting to know us and made sure we were able to capture amazing, memorable photos, without losing sight of the actual point of the day and party we were there to enjoy. Multiple times she seamlessly adapted our shot plan on-the-fly to let us have more time to be with guests or have a moment to ourselves when she sensed we needed it. ALSO she was a baby whisperer with our flower girl and turned frowns into smiles and I'm still not sure how she did that. Highly recommend Hiba!

There’s a shot of us sneaking fries in the kitchen between dances, and somehow it ended up being one of the most “us” photos ever. Nothing felt forced — just genuine, cinematic moments stitched together like a memory reel. The video? Pure magic. I didn’t think something could feel both nostalgic and brand new at the same time.

I'm a passionate photographer who finds joy in collaborating with creative minds to capture extraordinary moments. By day, I channel my expertise into high-quality construction work, while my artistic pursuits in photography allow me to explore my creativity and connect with others on a profound level.

From start to finish, working with Will was so refreshing. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he also has a truly artistic eye that brings every photo to life. Every single image he delivered was stunning, beautifully composed, full of emotion, and captured with such an authentic feel. What really stood out to us was how effortless and seamless the entire photography process felt. Will has this calm and warm energy that instantly put us (and everyone else) at ease. During the bridesmaids' photoshoot, he created such a fun, relaxed atmosphere - it honestly felt more like hanging out with a friend than posing for pictures! He encouraged us to be ourselves, let loose, and enjoy the moment, and the result was a set of natural, joyful, and candid shots that we’ll cherish forever. It felt like Will was genuinely part of the celebration — laughing with us, hyping us up - you could tell he genuinely loves what he does and was fully present with us in the moment. His enthusiasm was infectious, and it felt like he was celebrating right alongside us, which made the whole experience even more special. He was also incredibly patient and professional throughout the day. Never once did we feel rushed or staged, he took his time to get the right shots while making sure we stayed present and enjoyed the experience. I genuinely cannot recommend Will enough. His talent speaks for itself, but it’s his personality, passion, and dedication that make him truly exceptional. If you’re looking for someone who will not only take beautiful photos but also enhance your wedding day experience, Will is 100% the one. We’d recommend him a million times over!

I would absolutely (and have) recommended Bailey as a local photographer who is willing to go the extra mile in creating a peaceful, fun, professional, and comfortable experience when shooting professional photos. She was attentive and went above and beyond to create the perfect wedding gallery for us, and delivered everything I could have wanted. Huge thank you to Bailey, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Beginning my journey in the world of filmmaking, I initially delved into the realms of music videos and commercials, honing my craft in storytelling and visual artistry. However, it was a serendipitous opportunity to work as a cameraman at a wedding that unveiled my true passion. Now, with 9 years under my belt and hundreds of weddings captured, my love for crafting heartfelt wedding photographs continues to grow, reaching couples across the nation.
