Kay Mitchell Photography

Santa Maria, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Hi There! I'm Katherine (or Kay!). I've loved weddings for as long as I could remember and I believe I have one of the best jobs in the whole world. I love being able to capture moments from one of the best days of a couples lives and I get to do it alongside my best friend, my Husband. You could call us nerds; we love Harry Potter, puzzles and video games. Our favorite vacation spot is definitely Las Vegas and we both love good Mexican food. We have two fur babies; Bella and Betsy and yes they are so spoiled. The Husband, Abraham (or Bram) is also an engineer when he's not capturing weddings and a Cal Poly alum.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kay is simply the best photographer on the planet, me and my husband are from Italy and France and we’ve never met a photographer that is so professional, optimistic and fun. It’s like an old friend is taking pictures of you, she makes you feel very comfortable and knows how to make you look beautiful on your special day. We’ve hired her for our engagement session back in 2018 and now for our wedding on May 8th. What else is there to say? Be ready Kay. We’ll hire you so many other times and be ready to fly to Italy in a couple of years.

Moments by Frank

Your wedding deserves more than just photos—it deserves an experience. With over 15 countries captured, I create timeless, editorial, and emotionally rich images that transport you back to the moment. Every glance, every touch, every fleeting second—preserved with artistry and intention.

Wow. Just wow. Choosing Moments by Frank was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we reached out, Frank and his team were responsive, warm, and genuinely excited about capturing our day. It felt like working with friends who just happened to be incredibly talented photographers and videographers. On the wedding day, they blended in so effortlessly that our guests kept asking if they were longtime friends of ours. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and their energy and kindness helped ease every bit of nervousness. They knew exactly when to step in for direction and when to let moments unfold naturally. And then came the photos… breathtaking. Every image told the story of our day with raw, elegant emotion. They captured the big, epic moments but also the fleeting ones—the teary glances, the spontaneous laughter, the way our parents looked at us. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the best day of our lives, frame by frame. If you're on the fence about hiring Moments by Frank, just do it. They’re more than just photographers; they’re storytellers who will make your experience as seamless and joyful as the final product. Couldn’t recommend them more!

WIFE. MOM. PHOTOGRAPHER. I was a photographer before I was ever a wife or a mom...I have dedicated my life to photography for the past 18 years or more. Throughout that time, I focused on training myself to catch those particular moments that show the best in people. I strive to capture expression and character, in the most attractive way. I really believe that I show people the way they want to be seen. Everyone is Beautiful.

The dress, the flowers, the celebration... I'm obsessed with all of it! This is my dream job, that's for sure. (Not to mention my workday always ends with cake!) There's a solid chance that I will gush over how gorgeous your dress is about a million times and get teary-eyed at least once. Stressed-out bridesmaids and frantic family members always seem to relax when I show up with calm reassurance that everything will be ok- this isn't my first rodeo, and yes, your hair looks fabulous. I am not only there to capture your day, but also to be your biggest cheerleader, your advocate, dress fluffer, and lipstick-on-the-teeth checker.

Randall de Leon Photography

  • Serves Santa Maria, CA

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

We can't thank Randall enough for capturing our wedding day so beautifully! From our first meeting, he was incredibly helpful and easy to work with, making the entire process enjoyable. In fact, Randall is more than just a photographer. He has a network of professionals within the wedding industry that he's more than happy to connect you to. Whether it's a makeup artist, florist, DJ, and more! His calm demeanor and professionalism put us at ease, helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos turned out stunning, perfectly capturing the emotions and details of our special day. Randall has truly become our family's photographer. He captured our proposal, engagement, and now our wedding, and we look forward to having him document our future milestones. If you're looking for a talented photographer who is also a joy to work with, look no further! Until next time, Randall! E & J

Awarded Best of Zola
They are just LIFESAVERS! For some reason, don’t ask me why, we decided to look for Photographers about 1 month before our wedding day. And by true luck, they were still available. They were recommended by my mother. She was at my cousin’s wedding, and she was amazed at how well the photographer operated on the wedding day. I contacted them, and the whole process of booking wasn’t difficult at all. They had answers to all of my questions and concerns I had at that moment, everything was really easy and smooth. They showed me that it would be beneficial for us to consider booking a videographer as well. Luckily we had a budget and, oh my god, it would be horrible if I didn’t get video as well. On the actual day, their level of customer service was nothing but excellent! Since it’s our first wedding :), we had no clue how the shooting process worked, I was a little bit concerned about that, but the way they operated and instructed us was so smooth and seamless, it was as good as it could be done! The result was amazing! Both photos and videos were shot and edited very professionally. In the photos, we looked like we are models from the cover of a magazine. The video wasn’t some ordinary romantic wedding video, it was a movie, with great storytelling and a fantastic choice of music! My husband and I recommend them!

Hire Lo. You won't regret it. Not only does she know what she is doing in terms of getting all the planned shots, she got incredible candid shots and live shots of my groom and I, our families, and our guests. As we've been looking back so far at our pictures, we get to relive the emotion of the day. It's the intangible thing that an incredible photographer can do--capture the emotion. I can feel our joy radiating out of our photos and I am so grateful I hired Lo. Years from now we are going to get to experience this day over-and-over because the quality of her photos is incredible. The variety of shots she was able to get makes it seem like she had second shooter (but she's just that good). Our first look was perfect. She made sure we got some golden hour shots and then got us right back to dinner so we could eat. She also is incredible at giving minor adjustment tips to make sure we weren't doing anything weird with our hands lol. Additionally, and this was big for me, working with her ahead of the wedding she reminded me how to be excited for this day. Wedding planning was stressful, but every time I got to talk to Lo she got me back to a place of being excited and joyful. The day-of when she showed up, she helped make sure we had everything covered, and kept me calm even when some things went wrong. I felt like I not only had a great photographer, but a friend who had my back and wanted to make sure my day went perfect. I am so glad we hired Lo. My groom teared up looking back at some of these photos. Hire Lo!

We so appreciate their passion and enthusiasm for what they do - it really comes through the lens, and it made us feel relaxed, but excited too for our special day.

From start to finish, Frank, Anastasia, and Ivan were incredibly professional, kind, and attentive. They truly listened to what we envisioned and made it come to life effortlessly. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and we were so impressed to receive a stunning sneak peek just one day after our wedding! The photos are absolutely breathtaking—we can’t stop looking at them—and we’re so excited to see the rest of the pictures and videos because we already know they’ll be amazing. Their presence on our big day brought such peace and joy. They made the whole experience fun, smooth, and stress-free. We highly recommend Another Dream Productions to any couple looking for a talented and trustworthy team. Their pricing is fair, and the payment plan options made it even easier for us. Thank you again for making our memories last a lifetime!
