Find a Photographer in San Luis Obispo

Hands down the best in the area. I take horrible photos. However, with Marcia behind the lens l, for once in my life I looked like I belong in front of the camera. Marcia brings out the best in people behind and in front of the camera. Thanks for being you!

Jen was so kind and personable and made us feel comfortable during our photos! She was even able to get some smiles out of my toddler and our pictures turned out beautiful! Highly recommend! 🤍

It was such a great experience to work with James for our engagement and wedding photos! He took one "photo-shy" bride and a "full of jokes" groom and somehow created beautiful pictures for us to treasure always. James was such a pleasure to work with; even our wedding guests commented on how nice and accommodating he was. He was able to put up with our shenanigans with patience and a fun attitude! James was also extremely professional, timely, and a great communicator. Photography was definitely one piece of the wedding puzzle that I never had to worry about because of his commitment to excellence. I cannot recommend James enough for any of your photography needs; he will make you laugh, he will make you cry (in a good way); and your priceless moments will be perfectly captured.

Jason and Laura were absolutely delightful to work with! My new husband and I are both a little camera shy, but their humor and flexibility made the photo ops painless. We have any number of great shots of ourselves, family, and friends to share and enjoy. Jason and Laura were also very accommodating about meeting our needs, as we only wanted to document 2 to 3 hours of the festivities. They are just great, and we would highly recommend giving them a call!

After doing a ton of research on wedding photographers in the area of SLO, I took my venue's (The Madonna Inn) recommendation of Nakamura's Photography. We felt pretty confident in our decision after seeing many of Mark's pictures all over downtown SLO in restaurants and shops, it was evident that he is really talented. I just received my wedding photograph disks back and was very pleased with the results. We got about 1500 shots on 2 disks and I liked many of them. It only took about 3 weeks to get the disk, which after speaking to some of my friends, is very fast to get them back, so that was definitely a plus!Mark did an excellent job getting all the "traditional" shots during the ceremony and afterwards, but he also did a good job getting great candid shots during the first part of the reception since we had him there until 8pm. I liked a lot of the lighting he did and also enjoyed the few black and white photos that we got from him. Another thing that my husband appreciated about Mark was that he had no problem taking direction and opinions from us. After he got all the "traditional" shots he was more than willing to take any shots we wanted him to take, including an almost 15 minute walk to the front of The Madonna Inn so we could take photographs in front of the big sign. Mark was also savvy enough to call Matthew and I out of the reception around dusk so we could take some more photographs at that very lovely time of day in different areas of the resort. The reason for the -1 star is because we didn't get any prints or a book that I know a lot of wedding photographers include in their pricing. Mark was definitely on the more pricey side of the photographers that I checked with in the area, which I didn't mind because he DID do an excellent job, but I would have enjoyed a book with a few prints for the price I paid. Also, at first I was a bit discouraged that Mark would be working by himself because I was afraid he would miss some shots without an assistant helping him out, but I do not feel like he missed anything at all. However, my wedding was very small (only about 40 people) so I think it is a possibility that given a larger sized event it would be a struggle to capture everything with only one person shooting film. With all of this said, I would definitely recommend Nakamura's Photography for a photographer in the SLO area.

Ginici is the BEST on the Central Coast. Her eye to detail and bringing out the best her subject is beyond compare. I've been using her now for 7 years and so have my professional partners, and they've never been dissapointed and always Wowed
