San Luis Obispo Wedding Photography and Videography

Your wedding-day team • San Luis Obispo County

Wedding photography + video for your kind of celebration.

A courthouse ceremony, a weekend with your chosen family, a dance floor that won’t quit. We’d love to hear what you’re planning. Meet our small photography and iPhone video team, and see whose work catches your eye.

Meet your photography + video options

Have a wander through our portfolios. You don’t need a finished timeline or a collection picked out before getting in touch.

If you love cinematic color and artful portraits, start with James. Or get to know Makayla for warm, natural photography at a gentler price. Faith’s iPhone video also lets you keep the voices, laughter, and happy tears.

helpful answers

a few things you might be wondering.

Will we know who’s photographing our wedding?

Yes! James and Makayla have separate portfolios because their shooting and editing styles are distinct. Your booking names your photographer, so you can choose the work you love and know exactly who’ll be there.

Can we book photography and video together?

Yes. Faith’s services are available only with James’s wedding photography. Their day-of photography assistance is already included, and iPhone video is an optional paid upgrade. We’ll plan filming and assistant duties together around the video coverage you choose.

How do we know how many hours to book?

Start with the moments you care about most. James offers two, six, eight, or ten hours of photography. Makayla also offers two, six, eight, or ten hours. Faith’s video options are two, five, eight, or ten hours, plus a ceremony-only recording. We’ll help you choose around your timeline.

What if we’re planning something small?

Small celebrations are so welcome! Whether it’s courthouse vows, an elopement, or a gathering at home, every service has a shorter option. You don’t need a full-day wedding to make beautiful memories.

we’d love to hear what you’re planning

Ready to bring us into the plans?

You don’t need a finished timeline or a perfect description of your wedding. Send the pieces you know, and we’ll help you find the photography, video, and coverage that fit.
