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.

Sarah Peterson Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,888
  • Serves San Simeon, CA

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

You should stop scrolling through photographers because I'm here to tell you, Sarah is the one. She is extremely professional, talented, compassionate, creative, and can make absolutely every one of her clients feel understood and comfortable. She flew out to Washington to take our engagement photos at the Olympic National Park and the entire day was one of my favorite memories. Not to mention she sent me sneak peeks of the photos within a couple of hours - incredible editing skills and extremely fast service. I'm going to cherish these photos forever and we are SO excited to have her as our wedding photographer in June. Thank you for everything, Sarah!

I've always had a love for color and light, and a passion for landscapes and people. Ever since highschool and into college photography was just something that, no pun intended, caught my eye. I've been shooting weddings for 6 years now and there's nothing Id rather be doing. I'm married to the love of my life Rachel, sandwiches are my favorite food and I love long walks on the beach. Seriously I do :)

Dylan photographed our wedding at the Madonna Inn and did such a great job! We ended up with so many beautiful pictures that we could never decide which are our favorites and practically none of our friends were able to make it through the entire wedding album that we shared. He chatted with us in advance by phone, to go over all the details; and had plenty of good ideas for photo opportunities around the property on that day. Very happy with our choice to book Dylan on Zola!

Cheers, you did it! You went from wildly in-love to newly engaged. It’s such a special time in life and you want to capture every fleeting moment. Your wedding photographer will be with you during some of your most cherished moments. So, finding someone with a personality that brings out the best in yours is essential. This is the part where we become fast friends. There is something so intimate and longstanding about being by someone’s side on their wedding day, and I can’t get enough of that feeling.

I have worked with Sasha as a wedding photographer and she is incredibly wonderful and easy to work with. She gives great direction and is very calm and supportive. Her photos are absolutely mind blowing and I can’t say enough good things about her.

Heather's work is truly fantastic - her photos are fun and incredibly candid, perfectly reflecting the joy of our celebration. She even helped me with a boudoir photoshoot as a wedding gift for my husband! I wish I could give 6 stars, as I cannot recommend Heather's services enough!

Hi, I'm Kristyn Villars. I am a fine art wedding photographer based out of the beautiful Central Coast of California, but will happily travel to wherever your love story takes you. I love to visit and experience new places! I have always been fascinated with freezing moments in time to inspire emotion. The details, life's little moments, that's where we exist. There's something romantic about being able to document a couple's love story! My style can be described as authentic, candid, and photojournalistic, where I specialize in outdoor wedding photography. Your golden hour photos will be your favorite photos from your wedding day, I promise!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kristyn captured our wedding in September 2019 in Soquel, CA. Searching for a wedding photographer is no easy feat, but when i found Kristyn’s instagram I knew she was the one. Her work is absolutely beautiful, I mean her galleries speak for themselves. However, I also knew that I needed someone on that day who was down to earth and felt like a friend. I can’t tell you how many weddings I’ve been in where either the photographer was too assertive or just felt like a stranger. From our first phone call I immediately clicked with Kristyn. The year leading up to our wedding was definitely not an easy one, as I was battling health issues, which caused us to postpone our engagement shoot. Kristyn was nothing short of an angel with accommodating us. I will seriously never be able to thank her enough for the support she gave me that year leading up to the big day. On the day of the wedding, her and her second shooter, Beth, were so great to work with. Kristyn wore so many hats that day. She felt like my personal cheerleader, a friend, a wedding coordinator, and problem solver. I could not have imagined hiring anyone to capture our special day. We are in love with our wedding photos, and can’t wait for Kristyn to capture many more memories to come.

I first picked up a camera in high school and was instantly obsessed with the process and possibilities of capturing images. I went on to study at The San Francisco Art Institute and transferred to The Art Center, College of Design in Pasadena, earning a BFA in Photography. I began my career as a photographer in a Los Angeles product photo studio. While working there, I found I had a talent for photo retouching. I worked as a professional retoucher for many years and know what many celebrities really look like hah! I made my way back to freelance photography after having my daughter in 2013.

We LOVED working with Gennan. Out photos are spectacular, abundant and just what we hoped for. I love that she schedules a call with you to discuss your style and vibes, to get to know you a bit. She was responsive through email prior to the big day, and I was so impressed she even brought some of the inspo pics I had sent for us to recreate. She was very professional while being easy and fun to shoot with! She even resent some photos that were B&W that we wanted in color. Edits were lovely. Now our only problem is trying to choose from so many favorites.

I value your time with your loved ones, and I photograph from that framework. One of my core values is honoring family and friends, and I reflect that as part of my brand and company. We prepare beforehand, so we can move through formal photos with ease, and get you to your dance party sooner! Meaning, photos won't drag on for hours... we've all been to one of those weddings, right? That won't be yours. When you become my client, you become my people. What does that mean for you? I'm there for you, and I have your back. I want to give you gorgeous photos that show the joy of your day, without having to miss all the fun stuff.

Tayler is literally the best! Picking the right photographer was such a big decision for our wedding and we are so thankful we picked Tayler, not only did our engagement pictures come out amazing (we only took them like 8 weeks before the big day to practice) but our wedding pictures were soo awesome. We both have strong, opinionated families and she was able to manage them effectively. Everyone complimented her personality and our pictures aquickly and they were sooo beautiful we couldn’t even pick our favorites. If you need a photographer look no further pick Taylor she won’t disappoint, she is so fun to work with and you get the best shots.

Hi, I'm Sophia, a 26-year-old wedding photographer based just outside DC in NoVA. Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — vibrant, authentic, and joyful.

Sophia was extremely professional in all of our communications leading up to the big day - she was organized, responsive, and helped us feel at ease. On the wedding day, she captured so many beautiful candid moments with her vibrant, creative style. The colors and lighting in both our portraits and reception photos are gorgeous and realistic. We were so excited when we got our sneak peek photos - they perfectly capture the joy and love from our special day. We can't wait to receive the full photo package and relive more memories.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!

Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals!

Her ability to blend into the background while still capturing candid, intimate moments was truly impressive. We love her style each and every photo.

A couple and their pets hiking in the woods...jumping in the waves at sunset...a bride dancing down the aisle...my goal is to document every scene of your story, so you can hold onto it forever. Whatever the occasion, whatever the venue, I strive to make the most out of life, capturing vibrant, authentic smiles, celebrating each moment, and spreading positive vibes. We only have one life to live...so let’s enjoy it! Though I specialize in couples photography, engagement sessions, and weddings in the Santa Barbara / Southern California area, I’m also available for maternity sessions and destination weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could truly write a novel about why Sarah was the most incredible photographer/human! First and foremost, her photos are absolutely stunning. There were certain types of photos I wanted to get and she took the effort to make sure we got each one of them. My now HUBBY and me are not the biggest fans of posed photos and she made us feel comfortable with them while also getting lots of candids. I very often have a derp face in photos, and on a day where I felt so much joy and was unaware of my face, she captured the moments in between where I wasn't full-on smiling, mouth open...all the things us ladies worry about :) She not only took beautiful photos, she was very organized and communicative leading up to the day (and even after, when she has so many other weddings on the horizon!), and then worked quickly to get the shots she needed so everyone could maximize their drinking/dancing time. When my wedding planner had to leave mid-day, she stepped in to help and was just a calming presence on a day that can be quite stressful leading up to the ceremony. It takes a special kind of human to not only deal with the pressure of photographing someone's wedding but balancing the different personalities and timelines was a whole other beast, and Sarah handled everything flawlessly. Lastly, we had a small wedding of about 70 people and each person was so very intentional, and it was very important to us that we worked with someone that felt like part of our crew, that could hang with us and have a good time. Sarah felt like (and is!) a friend and joined the party to capture some really beautiful moments with our friends and family. I was so happy when she jumped in and danced to Robyn with all of us :) The cliché is true that it's the best day of your life and that it passes by so quickly, and I'm just so glad that Sarah was there to capture all the fleeting moments and also the ones that we weren't around to witness. We could not recommend her more and would shout from the mountaintops how incredible she is!

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Fox & Fig Photography is absolutely amazing! From the first time you meet Sarah, you can tell how much she cares about each of her clients. She goes above and beyond to get the shots that you want (including waking up at 3:30am to do a sunrise engagement shoot). Sarah also helped with the day of timeline and discussed the exact photos we wanted. On our wedding day, Sarah and her second shooter captured every detail our day and we cherish all of these memories. We are obsessed with our photos and Sarah as she handles herself with professionalism, grace, detailed, and fun. Hire Fox & Fig Photography and you will have ZERO regrets

Joyce was amazing!! She photographed our engagement shoot and I told her from the start that my fiancé and I both are pretty awkward when it comes to posing in front of the camera lol. She made us feel very comfortable and the experience was really fun! She also had great tips and ideas for poses. The pictures turned out BEAUTIFUL and I'm so happy I found Joyce! Would definitely recommend )

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

HOME STATES: California & Massachusetts/New England Hey! Justina here. You'll probably find me at your local thrift shop with my iced coffee in the dead of winter listening to gospel or rnb music in my ear while shopping for records and broken cameras. When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and unsolved crime documentaries.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough about Justina—she helped our wedding day run seamlessly! From the start, she was incredibly helpful and communicative, working closely with us to construct the perfect wedding day timeline. She even provided a detailed wedding guidebook and questionnaire, which helped us envision the exact vibe we wanted. On the big day, when we inevitably fell behind schedule, Justina handled it with such grace and adapted quickly. She adjusted effortlessly, stayed flexible, and kept everything moving. Even with less time for photos, she still managed to capture all the shots we had requested. Justina’s collaboration with her brother Anthony, who did our videography, was another highlight. Instead of coordinating between two separate vendors, we were able to meet with both of them together, ensuring that our wedding day vibe was beautifully reflected in both the photos and video. They both were extremely professional and helpful, in addition to providing creative ideas that helped bring our vision to life. What truly sets Justina apart is her talent and eye for candid shots that look and feel so natural. You can tell she cares deeply about the quality of her work. She got us a preview album within a week of the wedding, and my husband and I were so moved by the photos. We still cannot stop looking through them! If you want someone who will make your wedding photo dreams come true and help you feel comfortable and taken care of on our wedding day, look no further than Justina. We couldn’t be happier with our choice!
