TESTIMONIALS

LOVED EVERY SECOND!

My husband and I loved every second of our experience with SLOtography! With Dustin as our videographer, we felt entirely comfortable and at ease as he captured the most special day of our lives. He was professional and punctual, and brought both light and laughter to our wedding day! Having a video of our wedding day is the best gift we could have given ourselves and I am thrilled we were able to do it with SLOtography.

MADE US FEEL SO COMFORTABLE!

James is not only a photography genius, but also an incredibly kind and down to earth guy! His work is unparalleled and I was so lucky to have him photograph both my engagement shoot (for which he drove to SF for) and wedding. Not only did he manage to make my husband and I comfortable in front of the camera, he made my entire wedding party feel great. His style strikes the perfect balance of being easy-going and yet offering helpful direction, and his photos are complex, romantic, and timeless. Our house will be covered in wedding pictures because he gave us so many gorgeous shots we couldn't possibly just choose a few!

GREAT TO WORK WITH!

The entire SLOtography team was great to work with and worth every penny to capture the moments of our big day. So many family and friends felt the team captured the moments and atmosphere that slipped by us as the bride and groom. We really enjoyed working with James and the SLOtography team. Our family is growing and would definitely make the drive from LA to SLO to have James take our family photos.

INCREDIBLE!

We hired Blake to take photos at our wedding in Harmony Town and he was incredible, from the beginning to the end! Working out the logistics was a breeze, and we were able to talk about what kind of shots we wanted. Not only is Blake funny, he is REALLY sweet and all of the guests and wedding party felt completely comfortable around him which was really important to us. Personally, I felt like he was a member of our family already! He was patient and great with our group. The photos turned out SO beautiful! He is really creative and it shows in our photos. We love Blake and cannot recommend his services enough for your next wedding or event! Thanks Blake!

I WOULD HIRE THEM AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT!

Blake and his team were exactly the team we needed for photo and video. They were always quick and clear with communication in the planning stages. On the day of our wedding we really enjoyed having them around. Not only did they take amazing photo & video, they were also polite, professional and fun guys to be around. We planned our wedding to be fun and unique and Blake, Dustin and James definitely played an important role in that. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

My teasers are usually 60 seconds… but these two? I couldn’t stop myself. Too much love, too many smiles, too much magic. 🩷
