    Professional & Passionate

    From our first encounter, you could immediately tell how much Sefra loves what she does. She takes the time to explain her process and guides you the whole time while letting you simply love and express yourself. The amount of emotion and life captured in each photo is breathtaking. You can feel the moment over and over again and we are so fortunate and blessed to have found a photographer that captured our family so perfectly on such a memorable day.

    Sefra was an absolute ROCKSTAR

    I literally cannot say enough good things about Sefra. She was AMAZING for both our engagement shoot and wedding day and made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. She works very quickly, which was amazing so we could go enjoy our wedding celebration and our wedding party did not get photo fatigue! She is extremely professional, responsive, and above all talented. I highly highly recommend Sefra and even as someone who lives in a different state, I would fly back to the central coast just to get photos taken by her for any of my life’s milestones. Thank you Sefra!

    Trust her. Let her work her magic. Be amazed.

    What a creative talent Sefra is. Such a take charge attitude but also made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Take my advice when I say to book this artist. Give her freedom, creative space, and allow her to show you the magical moments on your special day.

    Sefra is amazing!

    Sefra excelled at every single aspect of our wedding - efficient, directed us for poses wonderfully, attentive, on time, has a can do & will do mentality, fantastic energy and her photos always come back top notch (and pretty quick, too!!). I can see Sefra being our photographer for all milestones!

    Best of the Best

    Unbelievable. That’s the word that comes to mind when I look at our wedding photos. I could not believe how perfect these photos are. How much it captures my wedding day in the most perfect way. Our family first went to Sefra in 2020 for a family shoot. It was so much different than any other photographer we have been to. It was so easy. So natural. Once I saw our family pictures I knew I wanted her for my wedding. It was an easy decision. A bride already has so much to worry about on her wedding day and Sefra really helped things flow. I knew I didn’t want to be pulled away from my wedding for a long time to do pictures. Sefra really helped us get all of our pictures done while still being able to enjoy our wedding with our family. That really meant a lot to us. These pictures were everything we could have asked for and more. So if you’re looking for someone to capture the most amazing photos and someone who will help meet all of your needs on your special day, you know who to go to. Thank you Sefra

    Sefra Escobar

    Photos were everything and more for my family. Sefra captured above our expectations. She is truly a artist. I fell in love with her work over Instagram and had to hire her for our big day. Very happy with having her as our shooter!

    Amazing Photographer!

    My fiance and I hired Sefra to take our engagement photos. I had contacted so many photographers in my area and Sefra was super responsive. During our actual shoot session, I had shared with her that my fiance and I were not great in front of the camera, but she did not see that as a problem. She was great at giving us direction and our pictures turned out absolutely amazing! Not to mention, she has an awesome personality. I would absolutely recommend her for any occasion!

    AMAZING photographer

    I’ve been eyeing Sefra for a while and finally was able to book her.
    I told her we’ve never done real professional pictures and where a little uncomfortable but she was AMAZING! Helped pose us and made us feel so comfortable! She was so much fun to work with and had the BEST personality.

    The BEST photographer on the central coast

    Sefra shot both mine and my sisters weddings over the past year, as well as my engagement shoot. She is a magician at what she does, and knows how to control a big crazy scene when it comes to bridal parties and family photos. There's no better way to remember life's moments than from her beautiful work.

    Hire her. Now.

    We never had professional photos taken of us before our engagement, so we were really nervous and didn't know what to expect. From the get go, Sefra was supportive, friendly, and so professional. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and talked us through the whole thing. After our engagement session, we couldn't wait for another shoot with her! On our wedding day, her presence comforted me and since we didn't have a wedding coordinator, I felt like she took charge of the couple things I may have overlooked and that really put my mind at ease. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, she is also an incredibly sweet person. Thank you for capturing our beautiful wedding day and we look forward to our next milestone with you! Look no further, Sefra is the photographer that will make your moments look and feel like dreams!

    She’s Amazing,

    Sefra is amazing, she’s very professional, knows exactly what to do. She listens to her clients and caters to them. I follow her on her social media, loved her work. She definitely did not disappoint! Looking forward to using her in the future

    More than I could have asked for!

    Sefra is amazing! I postponed my wedding 3 times! Each time Sefra was nothing short of amazing. We finally had our day and she did NOT disappoint. My husband and I are not picture people but she knew exactly how to guide us. She seriously captured the most magical moments. I will forever be thankful to have found her. Stop your search, Sefra is THE ONE!

    Best of the best!

    Look no further, you have found her! Sefra was exactly what I wanted in a photographer- professional, an artistic eye, friendly, and ability to capture real moments between and within people, couples, families, and friends! Sefra's professionalism is impressive, not only is she passionate and talented but she is punctual, a good value for money, and good at communicating easy to follow prompts. Her friendly attitude helps those of us that are less than comfortable being the center of attention feel at ease, allowing her to capture those amazing real photographs. She is not your "look at me and say cheese" photographer ( but she gets all those necessary shots at events like weddings). I followed Sefra on Instagram for over a year and knew I wanted to hire her before I was even engaged. I saw time and again beautiful human moments captured and shared on her feed, and am still in awe each and every time she posts. Once I hired and started working with her, my opinion only rose higher of Sefra. I was very moved when I saw my own wedding photos, Sefra went above my expectations and all of our friends and family were likewise very impressed with her ability to connect with people and her finished products! Book her- you will not be disappointed!

    Nothing Short of Spectacular

    Sefra brings a certain calm to wedding planning with her professionalism and pride in her work. I had an intimate ~20 person wedding with 3 locations, and she brought her magical eye to each one. Sefra was able to capture the spirit of our emotions seamlessly, she delegated for family photos as though she was one of our own, and even sent us a sneak peek the very next day. I could not recommend Sefra more! She is someone we are looking forward to seeing for many more family milestones!

    Sefra was amazing!

    Sefra was the perfect photographer for our wedding! From the first phone call I had with her, I knew we made the right choice! Sefra has mastered the art of being professional and personable at the same time. Her confidence and calm manner made me feel at ease the day of. I was very impressed with the way she managed her time, allowing for us to stay on schedule with our itinerary. We received many compliments on “our photographer” that day. I highly recommend Sefra!

    Sefra takes the most magical photos in a professional and comfortable way. She made my wedding day a breeze!

    Sefra is the best. From start to finish, I was so impressed with how well she delegated the photos in a semi hectic environment (wedding day!) She was calm, kind, and came in with a plan of exactly what moments she wanted to capture. I could not be more pleased with her services!

    Wonderful!

    I had originally booked Sefra for our large upcoming 2020 wedding. About 8 months later my fiancé and I chose to do a small ceremony on pretty short notice. Sefra was so cool about us changing our wedding date and hours we needed her. She was very easy to work with and the pictures turned out beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for more!

    After having to postpone our wedding due to COVID, Sefra was AMAZING! She was flexible and super responsive! She shot our mini wedding and we are so happy with the moments she captured. We can’t wait to have her shoot our wedding in June 2021. Her work is just beautiful! Thank you Sefra!!

    She captured our vision

    Sefra is amazing!
    I’m in the wedding industry and I loved how professional and down to earth she was. My husband is not a picture person but she knew exactly how to guide us and he was so comfortable with her. She seriously captured our love. She not only took beautiful photos but help guide us from beginning to end. I recommend her to all my family, friends, and my brides. Two of my cousins are getting married in 2022 and both booked Sefra! Stop your search, Sefra is the best! Book her NOW!

    Speechless

    My husband and I renewed our vows in Cambria, California. It was an intimate ceremony, just my husband and myself. We were at ease and able to enjoy every moment of the renewal and the photography session that followed. Sefra captured truly who we are as individuals and as a couple. Her creativity is immeasurable! It was so natural and fun at the same time. The pictures are absolutely amazing, even though they were taken in heavy smoke due to a fire in Big Sur. Would recommend to anyone looking a photographer.

    Sefra is a dream photographer!

    Sefra embodies true professionalism while also maintaining a positive and fun demeanor...perfect for wedding photography! From the first phone call with Sefra, she set my mind at ease. Not only does she make you feel confident & comfortable in front of the camera, she offers stellar wedding advice! She helped us with organizing our timeline and was my side kick during the wedding! She didn't miss a special moment and all our family/friends adored her fun personality. I can't wait to have Sefra capture future special moments like this! The photos brought me to tears and it was delivered in such a sweet, personal package. From a very grateful couple, we give Sefra our highest recommendation. Thank you!

    Amazing photographer!

    We are so fortunate to have had Sefra as our photographer for our wedding. Sefra was the first vendor we chose in March of 2019 while planning our July 18 2020 wedding. We were so impressed with our engagement photos and knew right away we made the right choice. We loved her style of photography, personality, and our final product photos!

    There were so many ups and down leading up to our big day due to Covid. Sefra was always available and offered so much help and advice. We even had a complete venue and location change, the new location being 2.5 hours north of our originally planned location. Sefra had no issues accommodating us. She was full of good advice and direction throughout the whole process. It’s easy to say she was the rock of our wedding planning.

    Before, during, and after our ceremony Sefra captured amazing photos of us. She really went above and beyond to get unique and beautiful shots. She works the location to its full potential. The venue staff and our guests made it a point to let us know how great Sefra was. The venue, which Sefra hadn’t been to before, immediately requested Sefra to become a preferred vendor for them.

    Sefra really took the photographer’s role in a wedding to a new level. Having our photography done by her was really a special experience and we highly recommend Sefra for anyone’s photography needs!

    Sefra captures wonderful photos!

    Nothing but good things to say about Sefra. She has such a good eye for those one of a kind shots and knows how to capture the light and the atmosphere just right. My wedding ended up being a bit of an elopement because large gatherings were not happening due to the pandemic and Sefra was ready to photograph me with only a weeks notice. She is so flexible, so caring, and such a talented photographer!

    Life time Photographer

    Sefra was the absolute best! From our engage shoot at multiple locations, my bridal shower and our entire wedding day, Sefra captured each of these moments so perfectly. I loved her check ins weeks and days leading up to the wedding, it was very calming to hear from her in the midst of crazy wedding planning. She really listened to what was important to us and was sure to capture it.
    Not only are her photos fantastic, but Sefra has a voice and is not afraid to say what she thinks is best in order to get the perfect shot. As a bride, this truly is priceless.
    My husband and I are truly looking forward to using Sefra for many many years as we start our family.

    Sefra Kay Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Kelsey! Brides like you make me absolutely love my job!! See you on the next milestone 😉
