You’ve got discerning taste and you’re on a mission to craft a wedding day experience around thoughtfully-curated details, the joy of togetherness, and a damn good playlist—in other words, you’re just our type.

And it’s going to fly by faster than you can say, “I do.” Choose a photographer who will help you soak in every moment (with the photos to prove it)

Your wedding day is a big deal.

Above all? You’re looking for a photographer who captures you impeccably and helps you feel like your best self on your wedding day.

You’re set on incredible photography, but nothing should come between you and hopping on the dance floor with grandma and your BFF from college (because when will you ever get THAT chance again?).

You need a wedding photographer who will make you feel like you’re at the top of your game—no prom poses allowed! In fact, if it felt like you weren’t posing for a camera at all, that would be even better.

You want to feel comfy in front of the camera despite how strange it might feel, and you know that keeping your personality under wraps isn’t going to help.

We know what you’re thinking:

You’ve got this. And you’re in the right place.

Before we get any further: PAUSE. Take a deep breath. 

Our work has landed in the pages of The Knot, Style Me Pretty, Green Wedding Shoes, California Wedding Day, and, yes, Martha Stewart Weddings.

And if this were a full tour of our core values, we’d tell you that every couple of ours feels confident, reassured, and cared for (and that doesn’t end at last call for your open bar).

It’s safe to say that weddings are our specialty — just ask Martha Stewart. 

The Anna Delores Photography studio is the wedding day hype squad you didn’t know you needed.

About Us

Jenna + Rob, Soule Park, Ojai

“Anna Delores is well-organized, supportive, and helpful. They made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun with them, which we didn't realize was going to be so important!"

Sophia + Justin, Ritz-Carlton Bacara

“Beckie and Malaya kept the photo taking process fun; they were also so friendly and supportive. The photos turned out fantastic and capture the essence of the day!"

Hillary + Ryan, Ole Hanson Beach CLub

“We cannot sing their praises enough! They are so incredibly talented, so easy to get along with, and so much fun. We were absolutely blown away by our photos!"

Elizabeth + Charles, Santa Barbara

“They were a dream to work with. Our wedding photos came out amazing and I couldn't be happier. You can't go wrong with booking these wonderful photographers."

From the anticipation of getting ready to the surreal moment of exchanging vows, the best photos are the ones that show how it felt to be there. This is at the core of every gallery we deliver. It’s the essence of our purpose.

Photographs are time machines.

We’ve got your back with gentle, easy-to-follow guidance so you’ll look your best and feel even better (plus, you’ll know what the heck to do with your hands).

You’re not going to find stiff, overly-posed portraits in our portfolio (pack it up, Vanity Fair). 

In other words, you won’t cringe when you look at your wedding album twenty years from now. Together, we’ll dodge the trends and the Pinterest must-dos to create photographs that shine over time. 

Our aesthetic is polished, clean, and sophisticated.

The best, shut-it-down kind of receptions are the ones where you’re on the dance floor all night long.

As your self-proclaimed party posse, we’re not going to kidnap you for two hours of sunset portraits just as the reception is getting started.

Here’s the low-down on what we believe:

I recently planned my own wedding, so I’ve been even more wedding-obsessed than usual! My husband and I live just south of Santa Barbara with our two dogs and two cats. I’m an avid napper with serious weaknesses for beautiful shoes, modern minimalist style, ice cream, and the city of Paris (where I spent a summer in college).

If you’re interested in the possibility of working with me as your lead wedding photographer, I’m available for booking exclusively through our sister brand, Emily Loeppke Photography.

Studio Manager

Emily

I’m originally from Hawai’i and love to surf, but I’m also happy to take to the California mountains in winter to enjoy snowboarding. I love to travel (my husband, two girls, and I particularly enjoy camping) and I am more than a little obsessed with Christmas—I always go ALL OUT with decorations, and at this point I have an annual allowance for buying new ones so I don’t go overboard.

My favorite part of a wedding day is family photo time! It’s usually the most crazy, but I love seeing family dynamics.

Lead Photographer

Beckie

I’m based in Santa Barbara with my sweet dog Channing (yes, named after Channing Tatum), watching HGTV for insider fixer-upper tips from Joanna Gaines and dreaming about my next Parisian vacation (nothing beats the smell of fresh croissants on a morning walk in the City of Light!).

After years of wielding a camera, I’m never tired of the “getting ready” moments on a wedding day; they hold so much anticipation. I’m also likely to bust out some awkward dance moves while acting as your personal dance floor paparazzo at the end of the night!

Lead Photographer

Malaya

When it comes to your wedding day, I will cry. It might be during your ceremony vows, it might be during your best man’s toast. I’ll also walk backwards down your aisle to make sure I’m capturing all the joy around you while you head for the biggest party of your lives.

I live in Los Angeles with my two children, our puppy Sgt. Pepper, and our cat Raisin. I love watching reruns of “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation,” I read my daily horoscope, and if I only ate sushi for the rest of my life, that would be fine by me.

Lead Photographer

Alyssa

I’m a small-town country girl living on the central California coast with my husband and two little boys. I LOVE living by the water; I grew up on a lake and then moved 20 minutes from the Pacific Ocean. I've never lived more than 30 miles from the nearest body of water!

I love to tell stories through photography, and I value relationships, connection, and intentional communication. On your wedding day, my goal is to guide you gently and effortlessly to the intimate images of your beautiful day.
