ZOMG, Adam & Chelsea were AMAZING!!!!! My now-husband & I booked 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! read more

One word - INCREDIBLE! Booking a family shoot can be anxiety inducing and Adam and Chelsea calmed that 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. They captured our family, our personalities, and our home of Morro Bay beautifully. 10/10 will work with them again. Thank you so much Adam and Chelsea read more

This past weekend Mooncrest brought their A-game for the 3rd Annual Allan Hancock Honors Event in Santa Maria, CA. We are beyond thrilled with the videography service of Mooncrest Media. Every special moment was captured beautifully, from the big highlights to the candid details. The videography was professional, easy to work with, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Stunning work! Jenna Nichols, Owner + Lead Planner Better2gether Events read more

I hired Mooncrest Media to do a maternity shoot when my wife was eight months pregnant. They had the wonderful idea to do a twilight shoot on an avocado orchard. The photos look awesome! My wife and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. We even got a few photos of our dogs in the shot. They were encouraging, fun, creative and professional. They did an amazing job and I will be hiring them again in the future for any of my photography needs. Thank you, Mooncrest! read more

Adam and Chelsea just shot our engagement this past weekend in Cambria! They did an absolutely stellar job. I live in LA and needed not only a talented photographer, but also an 'advisor' to help me with logistics like where would be the best spot, time of day, etc. Adam and I had such good communication in the weeks leading up to July 1 - he was super helpful and positive with everything. As we walked by them on the bench on the way to the boardwalk, they were 'bird watching' and smiling. When I walked across the street, they then captured the proposal and follow-up celebration with a magical touch! My (now) fiancé had no idea they were there during the special moment. Adam and Chelsea have such a great vibe and made this whole experience fun and so so special. The photos they captured were truly stunning. Our gallery is wonderful - ask them for some samples when you reach out. I promise with my whole heart going with Mooncrest for photography/videography is 1000% the right call. read more

Mooncrest Media - Engagement photos @ Paso Robles - Session Photography Near Me

Long overdue review for Mooncrest Media. Adam, Chelsea, and the whole Mooncrest Media team were fantastic! They were recommended by our wedding coordinator, Joyfully Joined. I liked that prior to signing the contract, they wanted to have a Zoom with us, get a sense of our personality and learn more about the type of wedding we were planning. We were originally scheduled for a 2020 wedding, but had to push out to 2021. Adam was accommodating to the change of date and checked in on us throughout the year as the planning was on hold. We were so glad to have booked engagement photos with Mooncrest, as it gave us a chance to get to know them before the big day, and for them to know us - and we got great photos! I appreciated the last-minute connection to a hair and makeup artist for the engagement photos as well as local dinner recommendations. They took the time to get to know us, which helped in understanding the photos we were trying to achieve. During the wedding / reception, the whole Mooncrest Media team was fun, happy and relaxed. They didn't stress us out and rolled with our laid back vibe. We didn't want a lot of staged photos, and they captured happy, carefree and joyous moments, where we didn't even recall seeing the photographer / camera there. We were so thankful to have both still and video of our special day. The video is something we'll revisit and watch again and again. They were professional, respectful and genuinely nice people to be around, which made us relax and happy. Our joy and love was so well captured from the day and we're thankful to have had Adam, Chelsea, and the whole Mooncrest Media team there as such a crucial part of our wedding. Highly recommended! read more
