SAN LUIS OBISPO WEDDING & MICRO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | CENTRAL COAST

A micro wedding is a smaller, intimate celebration that allows you to focus on the people, moments, and details that matter most. With a smaller guest list, you can create a wedding experience that feels personal, relaxed, and meaningful without the scale or formality of a traditional large wedding.

An elopement is typically even more intimate, often centered around just the couple and a few loved ones or witnesses. Whether you exchange vows on a quiet beach, beneath the oak trees, or at a meaningful Central Coast location, an elopement gives you the freedom to create a celebration that feels completely your own.

The Central Coast offers a beautiful mix of beaches, rugged coastline, rolling hills, oak-studded landscapes, and charming venues, creating endless possibilities for an intimate wedding or elopement. The natural beauty of the area provides a stunning backdrop without requiring elaborate décor or a large-scale celebration.

Whether you’re drawn to the coast, the countryside, or a meaningful local location, a smaller celebration gives you the freedom to slow down, enjoy the people you love, and focus on the genuine connection and meaningful moments that make your day uniquely yours.

We offer flexible photography coverage designed around your celebration, whether you’re planning a short elopement, an intimate ceremony, or a longer micro wedding. Coverage can be tailored to the moments you want documented, and custom packages are available for couples who want more comprehensive coverage.

We’ll help you choose the amount of coverage that makes sense for your plans, so you have the photography experience you need without paying for time you don’t.

Yes! We require a signed photography contract for all weddings and elopements to make sure everyone is clear and comfortable with the details of your photography experience. Your contract outlines your coverage, payment terms, cancellation policies, and other important details while helping protect both you and us.

We’ll make sure you understand everything before booking so there are no surprises along the way. If you’d like to learn more about why photography contracts are important and how they benefit everyone involved, read our article: Why You’ll Be Asked to Sign a Photography Contract for Your Intimate Micro Wedding or Elopement—and Why That’s a Good Thing.

While San Luis Obispo is our home base, we regularly photograph intimate celebrations in nearby communities including Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, Avila Beach, the Five Cities, and Shell Beach.

If you’re planning your celebration farther away, let us know where you have in mind. Travel fees may apply depending on the location, and we’ll discuss any additional travel costs with you upfront.

The number of edited images you receive depends on the length of your photography coverage and the events of your day. Every wedding and elopement is different, so we focus on delivering a meaningful collection that tells the complete story of your celebration.

Your professionally edited wedding and elopement images will be delivered through a private online gallery within 3–4 weeks after your celebration. From your gallery, you’ll be able to view, download, and share your high-resolution images with family and friends.

You’ll also have the option to order prints and albums directly through your gallery, making it easy to enjoy and preserve your favorite memories.

Absolutely! We love when children and pets are part of your wedding or elopement celebration. They’re often an important part of your story, and we’ll make space for those meaningful moments while keeping things relaxed and natural.

Whether it’s a family portrait, a playful moment with your children, or a special moment with your four-legged companion, we’ll capture those memories alongside the rest of your celebration.

Central Coast weather can be unpredictable, but we’re prepared to adapt when conditions change. If the weather affects your plans, we’ll work with you to adjust the timeline, make the most of your location, or consider an alternate setting when appropriate.

And remember, beautiful photographs aren’t limited to sunny skies. Coastal fog, soft overcast light, and changing weather can create a beautiful atmosphere and add character to your images. Our goal is to document your celebration naturally and beautifully, whatever the day brings.

Absolutely! All images are delivered through a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your photos. From your gallery, you’ll have two options for preserving your memories:
