Demi did my maternity shoot and the photos turned out so wonderful, beyond anything I ever expected. She got the photos back to me quickly as well, which was appreciated.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Demi and her photography service! Demi managed all the…read morephotography for my wedding and reception, and I am still (a month later) having attendees contact me about how great she was. First, Demi was incredibly flexible in finding time to meet with me ahead of the event and onsite where the reception would be held to help me plan-out the ceremony location and timing to ensure we would have the best possible photos (lighting, backdrop, etc.) to remember the day by. Second, during all of the festivities, Demi's wonderfully approachable, kind and professional demeanor ensured that she fit-right-in with the guests - allowing her to get some great candid shots as well as make some attendee-welcomed staging requests for a great shot. Lastly, and most importantly, the photo batch that I received from her (and only a week and a half after the event!) were better and more thoughtful than I could ever imagine. The quality was superb, and her ability to really capture the mood and culture of our group of friends and family was incredible. If you are planning a special event, wedding, engagement photos, graduation photos, or anything else that you want beautifully remembered through photo or video, you HAVE to contact Demi Castanon. You will not be disappointed.

ZOMG, Adam & Chelsea were AMAZING!!!!! My now-husband & I…read morebooked them for our October 2024 wedding for both photography & videography (this review is long overdue, I know) From the initial consultation all the way to when they delivered the final pictures/film --- they were an absolute dream to work with. Our package came with a free engagement shoot but since we already had our engagement shoot, we invited them to come a day early (only if they could) & capture our rehearsal. They didn't miss a beat - they were there during our rehearsal run-through at our venue and were able to get a lay of the land prior to the big day. After our rehearsal, it was golden hour so of course, Adam took a couple shots of my husband & I (took not even 10 min) & let me tell you, from the previews he sent me THAT night --- I was so blown away with how beautiful they turned out. He definitely has an eye for it! FYI - Our package also came with an additional photographer & videographer. So when it came to the day of, they introduced us to James (from StateFarm, lol) & Laura. This completed the DREAM TEAM! Cannot stress how amazing it was to work with these 4, A. MA. ZING! Being the Type-A bride that I was, I provided Mooncrest with a Shot List on request & they delivered on that. They made sure to get the shots we wanted & even some bonuses that we didn't think about. This is why we leave it up to the professionals :) They were professionals but it also felt like we were surrounded by friends. I know they probably get this all the time, but they were hella cool & tbh, if we lived closer - they'd be awesome to hangout with. We received our final edited photos right before Christmas so it served as an early Christmas present to finally see pictures from our wedding & WOW, they turned out so beautiful! From the edits to the stolen (candid) shots - AMAZING (using that word for the millionth time in this review). When we received our Teaser Film, they also provided a "Message from your guests" video, which was a complete surprise for us & a wonderful surprise at that. It was so cool to see our friends and families wishing us well, behind-the-scenes style. Such a great bonus! Once we received our full wedding video, they provided a Documentary Edit so that we can relive the moments in real time - First look, private vows, ceremony, & speeches. So, something to make note of - during the initial consultation --- my husband only had one request, he wanted to make sure all the speeches were recorded. So I am guessing this led to them providing the Documentary Edit & we are soooo thankful for this. It's something we can watch over & over again & relive the key moments. Our final wedding film took the cake! Adam & his edits, geeez louis! This man has got the eye and talent. His edits were impeccable & we couldn't have dreamed of a better way of capturing one of the most important days of our lives. From the songs he chose (which he used our friend's cover who performed during our cocktail hour) to the cuts/transitions -- *chef's freakin' kiss! The day of our wedding went by in a blur but the photos and film captured, we will forever cherish. Mooncrest helped us remember things that happened during the day that we don't even recall because it went by so fast. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone. If you want pictures that look like they're out of a magazine and videos give you the feels - BOOK MOONCREST! You will not regret it!

One word - INCREDIBLE! Booking a family shoot can be anxiety inducing and Adam and Chelsea calmed…read morethat anxiety instantly. Working with them was easy, relaxing, and fun. We booked a mini session and I would have been happy with 1 good photo, BUT we got at least a dozen keepers. IN A MINI SHOOT. All that aside, the photos are art. Truly.

We did not get to meet Kasie and Patrick in person until our wedding weekend, though we interviewed…read morethem on zoom due to being from San Diego and not the SLO area. We immediately got a sense of warmth and charisma from the power couple. :) There are countless things that I can say about them but I'll say my top which I think may be of service to others who are scouting for their photographer/videographer: -Kasie and Patrick are extremely in sync. They tell it like it is in a very tactful and get-down-to-business way. When you're up against the clock, and you don't have a lot of time to be indecisive .. they can help you make sound decisions, as they are experts at their craft. Our hotel venue could not let us know where we could have a moment for the first look, but they scouted out the best spot right away. -great communication. Most of our wedding guests complimented how nice they were and how efficient and quick they were. -on my wedding day there were countless moments of stress that I could never in a million years foresee (I tried to plan for things so it'd be smooth sailing day-of) and they were like so nice to me when I felt my head was going to explode with anxiety. One of my favorite moments of the day they probably don't remember, but it was when Kasie and I were in the elevator before the first look and she was just so empathetic and kind to listen to me vent about how I felt in over my head with having such a big bridal party (who were a hand full to say in the least!) .. and also Patrick helping me put on my high heel shoes again when I took them off since they were killing my feet. 1000% would seek their services again if I'm in the area again to visit, or in town for a family reunion. Thank you for making a significant impact on our lives!!

We could not have selected a better officiant for our wedding than Stacy. She performed a lovely…read moreceremony that was exactly what we were hoping for. Her process for getting to know us was extremely thorough, involving a meeting and detailed questionnaire. Stacy knew all the right questions to ask and quickly picked up on the direction we'd like the ceremony to go. Then, she provided us with a draft of what she'd like to say well ahead of time so we could review and make any final edits or comments (this is optional of course). During the ceremony, Stacy delivered her words wonderfully, and really captured the moment and spirit we hoped to create. Afterwards, our family and friends couldn't stop raving about what an amazing job she did and how much they loved the ceremony. If you're looking for a perceptive officiant who will really get to know you individually and as a couple and will create a ceremony that represents what is important to you, Stacy will make an excellent choice. We are thrilled to highly recommend her. Thank you Stacy!

I reached out to him on yelp for couple portraits and he promptly responded with his availability, suggestions and inputs. He immediately understood the aesthetic I was looking for when I said I want some portraits at the beach during sunset.

He turned up fully prepared and was patient through out the 1 hour session, understanding the looks I wanted and made us comfortable. He has provided the edits with in the time he promised. Special shout out for the thoughtful Polaroids he shot and gave us as a takeaway on the day of the shoot. Definitely helped holding up the excitement for the final edits. The final edits were well worth! Beautiful compositions and use of light in the pictures in an outdoor setting speaks for his technical expertise in photography. Wonderful experience and Epic photography worth every penny! Thanks Brian :)
