I grew up on California's Central Coast and obtained a minor in Photography from Cal Poly SLO. My love for photography started in high school and has always been my sole aspiration. As a photographer, I understand that photos hold cherished memories that last a lifetime. Whether it's with family, friends, or loved ones, photos capture precious moments that we can revisit time and time again. These snapshots serve as a visual reminder of the joys we've experienced and the people we've shared them with.

If you’re looking for someone professional, funny, personable, and skilled, Andy is your guy! Getting quotes for photographers can be very intimidating and stressful. When I first reached out to Andy, I had a feeling that he was going to be the perfect match for us (and his price options are reasonable and affordable!). He kept in contact during the months leading up to our wedding, answering all of my questions and sending a list of questions for us to answer. We ended up pre-choosing what family/group pictures were most important to us and providing names. Andy had that list with him at our wedding and stuck to it, keeping us on schedule, but was willing to take on-the-spot added groups, too. He captured all of the moments that mattered to me, from the first look to the first dance. He took beautiful wedding party photos, posed and candid. He was very professional and able to take family group shots while being swarmed by hummingbirds. He made us laugh and smile. Even better, we received a small set of photos 2 days later, and all of the photos within 2 weeks. 11/10 would recommend!!

Seriously I do :)

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t be happier that we chose Dylan to capture our wedding day! From the moment we started looking at photographers, Dylan’s work stood out—he has such a natural eye for creating magic in his photos, beautifully balancing the people and the scenery in every shot. We booked Dylan for both photo and video, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our package included a complimentary engagement session, which was the perfect way to get to know him and feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. Dylan made everything feel so effortless and fun, suggesting creative, candid ideas that felt natural to us as a couple. His wife joined as a second shooter, which added another amazing layer of coverage and perspective. Working with them as a team was an absolute joy—they instantly made us feel like old friends. On our wedding day, Dylan and his team (again with his wife as our bonus second shooter!) worked tirelessly to capture every moment. His professionalism and guidance were invaluable—whether it was suggesting the best lighting or pointing out opportunities for unforgettable shots, he always seemed to know exactly what would work. Despite the full day of shooting, he kept the atmosphere fun, lighthearted, and comfortable. It truly felt like having a friend by our side, not just a photographer. When we received our sneak peeks, we were blown away—and then the full gallery arrived, and it was beyond anything we could have dreamed of. Dylan’s ability to capture genuine emotion while also highlighting the beauty of the setting is unmatched. Every photo is vibrant, timeless, and filled with meaning. And then came the wedding video—an absolute masterpiece. Dylan’s artistry in weaving together the details, emotions, and moments of our day transported us right back to those memories. Watching it, we felt all the magic of our wedding day come flooding back. We are endlessly grateful to Dylan Kyle Photography for capturing our love story so beautifully. His talent, creativity, and warm personality made this experience unforgettable, and we can’t recommend him highly enough for anyone looking for a photographer or videographer.

Since 2008, I have been dedicated to making dream weddings come to life. My passion for being a wedding planner stems from the joy and fulfillment that comes with creating unforgettable moments for couples on one of the most significant days of their lives. Being born and raised on the Central Coast is a true blessing. I've grown to appreciate this unique and quirky place I call home as the years have passed. When I'm not flexing my planning muscles you can probably find me still in the mix at a local event, concert or winery. I'm a dog mom, a tiny human mom, and a lover of all things Italian.

We booked Monica for month-of coordination, and she immediately acted like a true partner. She offered clear advice, scheduled check-ins, and tracked our progress so there were no surprises. When the weekend arrived, she took over smoothly and made everything easy. She managed setup, coordinated every vendor, kept the timeline tight, solved problems quietly, and oversaw teardown. On Sunday morning our items were already condensed, labeled, and staged by the exit, so pickup took minutes. Beyond all the compliments on the wedding, we heard constant praise for Monica herself. She is organized, calm, and relentlessly helpful. We could not recommend her more.

We’re creatives with heart for kindness and to contribute goodness to your wedding day experience as we capture every moment.

Booking Ballesteros photography for our wedding was hands down the BEST decision we made for our wedding! From starting by taking engagement photos, to the final delivery of our wedding photos and video, they brought nothing but pure magic. The photos are STUNNING. Every frame looked like it belonged in a bridal magazine. The colors, the light, the emotions etc, chefs kiss. They didn’t just take pictures, they told the story of our day and wonderfully navigated the wedding scheduling etc like pros. They magically captured all the big moments and the smaller ones with wonderful candid captures that we’ll cherish forever. The wedding video they took was so artfully crafted and wonderful way to cherish our special day. Beyond the work (which speaks for itself) they were efficient, communicative, kind, great at adapting to our personal desires/requests and wonderful to work with! Highly recommend them (:

Hello there! I'm Patrick, a professional wedding officiant based in Paso Robles, California...Our little drinking town, with a farming problem...but I do travel! I take absolute delight in helping make your wedding ceremony just as you envisioned it. After all, it's your special day! In addition to working as an officiant, I'm also the owner of a distillery in Paso Robles, a voice-over specialist, and I have a multiple-subject teaching credential. That's right, the booze making officiant!

Patrick is amazing! He made everything so enjoyable and easy. He definitely kept things fun but still professional, both in first meeting him and on the day of the ceremony/during the ceremony. It was all super detailed to us as a couple. He's a really good dude inside and out. Very respectful too. We love this guy!
