Salt and Sol Studios captures life's authentic moments, blending creativity with heartfelt storytelling. My passion lies in immortalizing memories, crafting images that resonate with emotion and timeless beauty.

We had an incredible experience with Salt & Sol Studios. Adrianna and her team were excellent right from the start. They were clearly veterans of the wedding industry and knew exactly what coverage was needed for our day. Adrianna was excellent at directing everyone so we could get all our photos done and stay on schedule. Her calm presence helped keep everyone light hearted so we could maintain a fun celebratory atmosphere during photos. We got our album very promptly and the photos looked absolutely incredible. Adrianna worked very closely with us to make sure we got all our needs met for ordering thank you notes, framed photos, and creating our wedding album. We greatly appreciated her professionalism and the extra time and care she spent to capture our wedding day. Special bonus she even got some amazing drone shots of our entire venue and a group photo of all our guests which we will forever cherish! I highly recommend Salt & Sol Studios to any couple.

Hello! I'm Natalie, a passionate documentary photographer dedicated to capturing the authentic and heartfelt moments of your special day. My approach to wedding photography is all about storytelling. I believe the most beautiful photos come from genuine, unscripted moments that reflect the true emotions and unique story of each individual couple. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me spending time with my family, traveling to new places, or just cuddled up with a good show and a comfy blanket. I’m always inspired by the beauty of everyday moments and bring this inspiration into my work.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Natalie was a dream. It can be overwhelming having a camera on you and all this attention on you but Natalie carries herself with such a beautiful energy that puts you at ease. She really helps pose you and feel comfortable and before you know it you’re posing on your own. The confidence really shows in her images. My husband and I couldn’t be more happy with our photos! Can’t wait to work with her again, would recommend to all of my friends!

At the heart of why I love to photograph weddings and couples is because of how much my heart yearns to serve others.

I’m Cecilia, a photographer, entrepreneur, and creator. For me, photography is more than just my job, it’s a central part of who I am. Since I was a kid I’ve felt the need to document life as I see it, to capture beautiful moments that last. I am so in love with this art form in every sense. It brings me such joy and fulfillment to be able to document people’s stories and bring them to life through my lens. At the end of the day, I do this job out of love. Love for people, the earth, and connection. I want to capture who you are as people. Your energy and vibrancy are at the heart of what I do and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

I found Cecilia through Instagram and I’m so glad I did. She did our elopement photos and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! She made us feel so comfortable during our shoot, directed us the entire time, and made it so much fun! I would book in a heartbeat again.

I believe that love inspires art. Your wedding day will most likely be a blur of joy, nerves, and excitement with some extraordinary moments in between. Using both film and digital mediums, I balance a combination of both editorial and photojournalistic styles with a fine art approach. This collaboration will allow you both to fully enjoy each and every moment, as we tell the story of your wedding day. Wedding photography is an investment that lasts a lifetime, it’s the part of your wedding day that lives on. This is your love story, told in a classic, authentic, and timeless way.

Not enough positive things can be said about this lady - she is just phenomenal. She made the whole day so smooth & really listened to what my Fiancé and I were looking for in our photos. She gave us suggestions & just made us feel so comfortable. She is also like the ultimate hype girl - she made me feel so beautiful all day! She just goes above and beyond in every aspect of her job - she really prioritizes her couples. She made sure to ask in advance about what photos were important to us, what group shots we wanted, and what we wanted our timeline to look like. She arrived early, she left late, and ran on all cylinders the entire day. Oh and our engagement photos were beautiful & made us both so comfortable with her on our wedding day. I can’t say enough good things & I believe I found both a friend & photographer for life!

As a wedding photographer, I bring an editorial perspective and effusive compassion to my work. I am a creative visionary, conceiving grand visions and bringing them to life with authenticity and bravery. I create images that take you right back to your special day, capturing the ephemeral nature of time and showing you in all your glorious light.

Pamela recently took my stepdaughter’s senior photos, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the start, Pamela was super easy to work with—she had great ideas and knew just where to take us to get some amazing shots. We went from the beach to some really cool spots in downtown Oceanside, and each location brought out a different side of my stepdaughter’s personality. Pamela made the whole experience fun and relaxed, which really helped her feel at ease in front of the camera. The photos came back so fast, and they’re absolutely fantastic! If you’re looking for a photographer who’s talented, creative, and just gets it, Pamela is your go-to. We’re thrilled with the photos and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks, Pamela, for making this such a memorable milestone for us!

My name is Cristina and I am excited you're here! <3 I am a wedding + portrait photographer and videographer based in San Diego, California. I have been a photographer for 10+ years and a videographer for 5+ years. I started with shooting landscapes to portraits and have expanded to wedding photography + videography 3 years ago and it was the most. fulfilling. decision ever!!

Cristina was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! From start to finish she was hands on, very communicative and just a doll to work with. I was going back and forth on whether or not I could afford video for my wedding day. I went back and forth and finally did all the research and found Cristina since she was in my budget. It was weeks leading up to my wedding and I kept changing the length of time I would need Cristina and she was so very professional and sweet and very patient with me. Fast forward to the wedding day and Cristina was just as sweet in person and I was super excited that I decided yes on video. The night after my wedding I had my sneak peak already in my inbox…talk about FAST. Then two months went by and we had THE BEST video full of the best moments from our wedding day. People who didn’t attend the wedding that watched the video felt as if they were there. I can’t thank Cristina enough for capturing the best day of my life.
