Dylan captured our engagement so perfectly! This was a surprise proposal so I had no idea of anything and had no say in the photographer! I'm so glad my fiancé reached out to Dylan! Dylan was so nice, engaging, and even asked us if there were any poses we had in mind for him to take. He also asked me if I preferred black & white photos, grainy photos, candids, etc. I thought that was really nice to ask me that because it made me feel confident he would deliver exactly what I had in mind. He sent our sneak peaks to us within 2 days and the rest of the photos within a week. They came out perfectly. Better than I could imagine! I'm so thankful for this beautiful moment and being able to look back on it, thanks to Dylan and his wonderful talents!! read more

We booked Dylan for our engagement and wedding photos and we cannot recommend him enough. He is exceptionally talented, an expert at what he does, and is truly a one of a kind photographer. His photos are absolutely breathtaking. We had less than ideal weather for our engagement shoot and he was still able to capture amazing photos for us. We had the pleasure of meeting his wife, Rachel, who was also the second photographer at our wedding. They are both so kind and pleasant to work with and our photos were STUNNING!!! We are so grateful and can't thank them enough for capturing all the memories from our big day! read more

Dylan was so professional and made our family/graduation photos go smoothly (I have two toddlers). We even had to reschedule due to weather which was an easy process. He has great ideas for locations and did really well with my stubborn children. His assistant/wife was also helpful! Highly recommend! read more

SIMPLY AMAZING! They always say after your wedding is over, you should have great photos to remember the day. Dylan did that for us! I just looked back at my daughter's wedding photos from a year and a half ago and I just get teary eyed every time I look at them. (smile & laugh, too) He was patient and kind, even with the big wedding party, not to mention getting the big Italian family photo. He has great ideas and captures unbelievable shots. I am more than excited to view her photos that will last a lifetime! Thank you, Dylan, Simply the BEST! read more

My photo shoot with Dylan was a dream. Do not sleep on this decision. Just choose him and he will make it happen. Dylan was amazing from start to finish. First off, he was able to squeeze me in when other arrangements fell through the cracks. My photos speak for themselves, they are absolutely gorgeous. I received way more photos than I ever imagined. He made me feel completely comfortable, directed me with such a chill relaxed vibe and took control of the session. We had such a great time. My expectations were far exceeded ! Thank you Dylan. We will be looking forward to working with you in the future. read more

I discovered Dylan on Instagram and instantly fell in love with all of his landscape photography. Dylan was great to work with - he was very professional, punctual and he even suggested the most beautiful spot for our photos. One thing that really stood out to me was Dylan's ability to think outside the box and also prepare ahead of time - my request was to take family photos with my two (easily distracted) Samoyed dogs. As a dog owner, it is extremely tough to get dogs to look at the camera (let alone have TWO dogs look at the camera at the same time). Dylan worked his magic and even brought his own dog toy and captured these beautiful photos (while hiking the sand dunes with us). I can't say enough about Dylan and the amazing work he produces along with the service he offers! I was pretty bummed at first when our photo shoot ended up being windy; my hair was flying all over the place. I thought there was no way we would get any print-worthy photos back. BUT, Dylan worked his magic and our photos turned out amazing! My husband and I are so happy with Dylan and his photography talent. read more

5 STAR EXPERIENCE - from start to finish - communication, professionalism & incredible photographs. I found Dylan through his impeccable reviews when I was looking for a family photographer on our annual trip to SLO. I was less than enthused because I am not a fan of being in front of a camera (especially with my 3 year old and extended family and while pregnant) but with the fear of the pandemic it was very important to us to capture the moments we had together. Dylan put me at ease from the moment I reached out and he was so helpful in guiding me to which location would be best suited and which day was predicted to have the best weather while we were visiting. We showed up to the shoot in a flurry - grandma, uncle, hubby were all wondering why I was torturing them and my 3 year old behaving less than "golden" during this scheduled "Golden Hour" shoot. It is well known that prepping and executing a family photo shoot is usually full of stress, anxiety and sweat... if you can relate to that then Dylan is your guy! He will change the whole experience for you! He was prepared with tactics and plans to execute quickly. He even had a squeaky toy to make my daughter laugh. Dare I say we even had fun?? We laughed, played and effortlessly enjoyed some family time on the beach during the gorgeous sunset. Dylan worked quickly and guided us to grab the different combinations of photos that we requested. It was the perfect blend of candid shots and posed shots. It was over before we knew it! We had our photos delivered quickly and we were speechless. These photos have become an absolute treasure over the last 3 years that we have hired him. The photos are so gorgeous that I forget about my insecurities and I allow them to take me back to those moments with my family. I am so very grateful for them. This year we arrived at Avila Beach and we were greeted with horrible wind. Dylan was so gracious with his time and decided we would get better photos if we came back another day. We appreciated it so much and the pictures were absolutely perfect. Thank you Dylan for capturing my growing family - your gift is so appreciated! read more

We had a great photo session with Dylan Kyle at Morro Bay in June 2024. We were there celebrating a big anniversary and wanted photos of our family of eleven. Included in the 11 were 4 children & infants aged 7, 4, 11 months and 9 months. I was a bit apprehensive that photos would be a challenge given the ages of the kids, but Dylan was really fun and easy to work with and his photos turned out amazing. They truly exceeded my expectations. If you need a photographer in the area around San Luis Obispo, CA, I would enthusiastically recommend Dylan. read more

This review is overdue. We had a family session with Dylan last Summer. We never had a family photoshoot before. Everyone were nervous and not knowing what to expect. But Dylan immediately made us feel very comfortable. Our photos came out WONDERFUL. So happy we did it. Thank you Dylan!!! read more

Dylan Kyle Photography - Session Photography Near Me

I got to work with Dylan unexpectedly after my fiancé proposed, and would highly recommend him to others in the Central Coast for engagement sessions. Communication was seamless per my fiancé, and he was skilled at keeping himself hidden prior to the moment himself. Turnaround time for edited photos was fast, and the final product was wonderful. I can only imagine how tricky it is having just a few seconds to get "the shot," and he pulled it off beautifully. Dylan has a very chill and relaxed vibe, is helpful with direction, and is able to make it feel fun rather than awkward. He scouted out multiple different backdrops for lots of variety, and we never felt rushed. He was very invested in making sure we had a great experience, which I appreciated. Overall, I'm really happy to have this moment captured to look back on, and am forever grateful to him for his role in that. As an added note, I cannot overstate my gratitude towards his commitment to couples of all ethnicities, orientations, religions, etc. As an interracial couple, tolerance of diversity is important to us, and we felt Dylan created a welcome environment for us from the start. read more

Dylan was an absolute pleasure to work with and the photos turned out more perfect than we could have imagined! 10/10 would recommend him to anyone and will be using him again in the future! Thank you so much! read more

I could not be happier with Dylan's work. He perfectly captured all of the magic and beauty of our day in photos which we will share and treasure forever. Not only was his work incredible, but Dylan himself was such a pleasure to work with. He was quick to respond, listened to our wants and needs, and directed both us and all of our wedding guests in an assertive yet easy-going way. I would absolutely recommend Dylan to anyone! read more

So happy with my pics from my family sesh with Dylan Kyle Photography! We are a family located in N. Cal, I reached out to DKP and he was available to snap our family pics. We have a little one and DKP was able to get some great shots with all of us at the beach. Thank you so much, DKP!! read more

Dylan came highly recommended by friends, so we were excited to try working with him for holiday photos this year. I think these were our favorite family photos by far after trying different photographers the past several years! Dylan was very familiar with the location, had great suggestions for the best scenic spots, and also gave helpful guidance on how to stand/sit/pose so we could look our best. My husband usually dreads the annual photo, but he actually was really happy this time because Dylan was so efficient! Turn around time was about 2 weeks, just in time to order holiday cards. So thankful that we have so many frame-able photos to choose from! THANK YOU DYLAN! read more

Dylan was fantastic to work with for my wedding. He had so many ideas and was able to capture some wonderful photos.

This review is long overdue! Summer 2021 my family was lucky enough to have an evening beach session at Morro Bay with Dylan and it was such a fantastic session! Dylan was professional & friendly and made the session flow flawlessly. The final images are just simple stunning. It is always a good sign when your client cannot choose a favorite image. I can't recommend Dylan enough. Scroll through his portfolio and you don't just see the best of his best...every image received is amazing. read more

TLDR: Dylan is amazing and you should hire him!! Like many couples in 2020, my husband and I had to change our plans due to the pandemic. We decided to be safe and do an intimate elopement in Morro Bay. It was a pretty informal event but you wouldn't know that with how the pictures came out! I am so happy we decided to hire Dylan! Dylan was so helpful from the very first phone call. I could tell he knew what he was doing by the way he recommended spots in Morro Bay and talked about details that my husband and I didn't think about. He is the type of person that's really easy to talk to. We felt pretty comfortable with him. When our wedding day came, Dylan was so fun to work with! He is really funny. He got so many pictures of our families, both candid and posed. He was attentive to detail! He made sure heads and hands weren't place awkwardly. When it was time to do bride and groom photos, I felt SO comfortable (I am that person who doesn't like to take photos). But the best thing about Dylan's talent is his ability to capture people and the landscape together. I wish I had better words to describe how our photos came out... They are just beautiful. He is such a talented photographer. He captured one of the most important days of my life and I will be forever grateful. read more

We were looking for a maternity photographer who is reasonable in price and of course takes good pictures for our lifelong memories. We found him on Yelp.

And we were thrilled to be able to write this review about Dylan. It was pleasure working with him. He tells you exactly what to do. Very happy with pictures! Great prices as well.

To say that Dylan is a great photographer is not enough. His ability to see the scenery, see the couple, and help create an organized, comfortable experience is so incredible!!!

His portfolio speaks for itself, and I hope you choose him. read more

After much research on Central Coast photographers for our engagement and wedding photos, we chose Dylan because of his great prices and AMAZING photos on his website. We could not be happier with that decision! Dylan was funny, very personable, and always made sure we got all the pictures we wanted. For two derpy looking people, Dylan somehow made us look better than we could have ever imagined and we LOVE our photos. It's a big task to trust someone you don't know to get photos of one of the most important events in your life and you can definitely rest easy and trust Dylan. We loved working with Dylan so much that we asked him to do a family photo session for my mom and she loved those pictures as well! We highly recommended Dylan to anyone and everyone looking for a high quality photographer! We will be going back to Dylan in the future for any occasion we need a photographer. read more

Dylan has done our family photos for the last two years and each year they are stellar. Somehow he's able to capture gorgeous moments - even with my rambunctious 5 year old and my ham of a 7 year old.

We were a little nervous because this was our first time doing Family Photos and we had our 1 year old son with us, however Dylan made our session so easy and comfortable!

The photos turned out beautiful and he gave us a lot of variety of shots. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the area - or for us, out of the area, we drove down from San Jose just for this and would definitely do it again! read more

Dylan is a legend. On less than one weeks notice Dylan arranges and executes an incredible family photo shoot at a local winery in San Luis Obispo. It is no easy task coordinating photos with 24 people, 10 of which are kids under 10 years old and Dylan was a master. He was super efficient, executed all the shots we wanted and had the images back to us less than 3 days later. We will absolutely use Dylan again in the future.

Dylan recently photographed our wedding. He met with us before the wedding and went over the time tables and specifics of what we wanted. Then he blew us away, he had already scouted some spots to take our couples photos and where we would take our family shots. He was spot on with all his recommendations while still caring about our input. Day of the wedding he put us at ease with his calm and professional demeanor. And let me tell you he has a amazing eye for photography. When he finished editing the pics and sent them to us we were floored. They were amazing, magical and perfectly captured our special day. I can not recommend him highly enough. read more
