    Absolutely flawless

    The DeLauras photographed our Carmel Valley wedding on August 27th of last year. I cannot express enough how beautiful the photos were! My husband and I were very intent on being present on the wedding day, soaking it all in and capturing every moment. We were blown away by how well the photographs captured the entire day. When seeing our photos for the first time, we were immediately transported back to our wedding day and just cried. You were able to see all of the joy, the sweet moments, the excitement, all of these things came through very clearly in the photos and we are forever grateful. Our wedding video is in progress and not yet completed but if the photos and the slideshow were any indication of what to expect, we will be overjoyed. So many of our guests and family members raved about how beautifully the photos turned out and how sweet Kendal and Anthony were. Their talent is unmatched. They are a lovely couple who work so well together. Very chill, salt of the earth people. Extremely professional. Stellar work; even better than you could have hoped for. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them and cannot thank them enough for so beautifully capturing our wedding day. I highly recommend them and would hire them again and again.

    The BEST wedding photographers

    My husband and I saw a photo that the DeLauras took at our venue in San Clemente years ago and knew we wanted to work with them. Even though they live 5+ hours away, they agreed to do our wedding and were AMAZING. We went up to Big Sur to do our engagement shoot (even though they offered to come down and do it near us) and instantly felt at ease with Kendal and Anthony. We were so thrilled by how the photos turned out and had such a good time with Kendal and Anthony that we were actually excited to get to spend all day with them at our wedding. I am super un-photogenic but they give such good directions and know the most flattering lighting/angles that I am actually in awe of how good they did capturing flattering candids. It’s amazing how much of the love, warmth, and even laughter come through their photos. We are beyond in love with our photos and will cherish them forever. But above all, I am most grateful for the times on our wedding day that Kendal and Anthony reminded my husband and I to take it in and be present in the moment—with so much going on, your head is a thousand different places and it’d be easy forget/be too busy to stop and take it all in. Some of my favorite memories of the day were the private moments between my husband and I spent taking it in, thanks to Kendal and Anthony.

    Amazing People!

    Kendall and Anthony are wonderful photographers. We hired them for our wedding and they made two awkward picture-takers feel right at home in front of the camera. Their vision and attention to detail is amazing. They are also great people who made the process comfortable and welcoming. We will look back at our engagement and wedding photos and not only remember these special moments, but also how wonderful Kendall and Anthony were. We are so thankful to have connected with them. We cannot recommend more! - Ryan & Aimee

    Great photos & Good Times! :)

    Kendall & Anthony are not only great at their job as photographers but also great people to surround yourself with, at times we felt they should have been guests at our wedding.

    Luckily for us my husband & I met them thru an engagement photo shoot contest that we won in Laguna Beach. After we got back those awesome photos we worked with them again for my sisters wedding in San Clemente, again stunning photos!

    We have just got back from Sayulita where they captured our wedding experience and are anxiously awaiting our photos to be returned but have zero doubts in the quality that we will receive. Thanks for everything Kendall & Anthony! Highly recommended.

    During the initial run up to a much delayed Big Sur wedding- my wife spent countless hours pouring over every wedding site, blog, and instagram. But as soon as she came across the DeLauras we were sold immediately- if a picture is worth a thousand words, then their photos were worth a million. Could we immediately tell that Kendal and Anthony are supremely talented photographers? Yes. Without knowing anything about the couples involved could we feel the joy in these photos? Hell yes.

    But that doesn't tell the whole story. What you CAN'T see in those photos is the warmth, charisma, and energy that Kendal and Anthony have as photographers.

    Every step of the way, from struggling to book a venue, having some last minute engagement shoot changes, to having to reschedule our wedding, to the actual day- Kendal and Anthony were supportive, communicative, and most importantly- fun to be around and up for anything. Unless you are a trained model (uhhh my wife and I definitely are not) chances are there's always some hesitation, uncertainty, and fear when it comes to photoshoots, and ESPECIALLY your wedding, but Kendal and Anthony's energy and confidence immediately bring your guard down, put you at ease, and let you actually enjoy and be in the moment. More than just talented photographers they are truly wonderful people, this makes all the difference in the world and comes through in every photo. I couldn't more highly recommend them and honestly we feel extremely lucky to have had a chance to work with them.

    My wife and I want to thank The Delauras for shooting our recent elopement at Table Rock Beach! We decided on the spur of the moment to elope at the end of a business trip we were on in Anaheim. Kendal and Anthony were incredible to work with. Kendal assisted us with many ideas about how to make our day even more special. Kendal also recommended an incredible florist (Cargo Creative) who she has worked with in the past and they delivered an incredible bouquet and Arch with a great flower arrangement for us to use.

    A HUGE shout out to Anthony for saving the day for me when a button popped of my vest, right before the start of the wedding of course. Not a great feeling when you are 20 minutes away from your start time. Anthony went to 3 places and bought a needle and thread for me to use. Now that is certainly going above and beyond what one would expect. We would highly recommend The Delauras to anyone who wants their “special moment” captured!

    We are eagerly waiting to see the photographs she took that captured our special moment. We have no doubt they will be as incredible as they were to work with.

    Thank you Kendal and Anthony!!!

    Kendal and Anthony are an incredible duo! They’re so personable, professional, fun, and make you feel comfortable. The photos turned out more spectacular than we ever could have imagined. Every special moment was captured and we will always be able to look back on our special day with the most stunning photos that ever could have had taken. We will forever be grateful that the Delauras were able to bring so much to our wedding.

    Anthony and Kendal are such wonderful down to earth people and as a rare photography husband and wife duo they truly are the perfect pair!! My wife and I couldn't be more thrilled with how amazing and breath taking both our engagement and wedding photos turned out!! They are gorgeous and it was ideal to work with the Delauras as I would highly recommend them for your photo shoot :-)

    Working with Kendal and Anthony was amazing! We spent the better part of the day with them and had a great time! They are true professionals and are both so kind and fun to be around. We could tell that they really cared about capturing our day in the most beautiful way possible.

    If you are in the thick of searching for the perfect photography team for your wedding, do yourself a favor and hire The Delauras. You will not find a more professional, talented, caring, passionate, understanding, modern, fun, and enjoyable photography team in SoCal. My wife and I couldn't be more happy with the thousands of breathtaking shots they took on our special day.

    The Delauras are incredible!!!

    The DeLaura's were the best investment we made on our entire wedding! They were so professional, listened to what we wanted and needed, made us feel comfortable, gave us direction, and were PHENOMENAL with our friends and family! Once we did our engagement shoot we were so excited to have them shoot our wedding - it was the best photography experience I've ever had (I know such a bold statement to make, but it's true!) and once we saw the photos we couldn't even believe that was us in them! We looked like models! Hands down best photos I've ever seen of myself. We were just so impressed with how thorough and creative their work is! At our wedding they really researched the areas they would want to be shooting in and really helped take direction and make everything go comfortably and smoothly. Kendal and Anthony truly care about their work and their clients - two of the most genuine people you will meet. Once you work with The DeLaura's you'll want them to be your photographers for life.

    Working with the DeLauras is a gift for couples who want their most precious day captured in still and motion photography with just the right amount of care, expertise, and creativity. It was a joy to work with such a talented and accommodating team with obvious and authentic passion for their craft!

    I still look at our pictures all the time! Now that we've been to a few other weddings, we can tell that Kendal & Anthony went so far above normal expectations as wedding photographers to capture quality, heartfelt and personal images. We continue to receive glowing compliments about the day that we'll never forget thanks to the Delauras!

    Kendal Riley at Ostara Photography is absolutely amazing! Hiring Kendal was one of the first things we did after getting engaged; I couldn't imagine anyone else capturing our love. She took our engagement photos this past fall and I could not be happier with how beautiful they turned out. I was worried about my fiance and the engagement photo session at first. He is not into being in the spot light and taking photos so I wasn't sure how it was all going to go! My worries were immediately erased when we started the session, Kendal was so easy going and it was very relaxed. She photographed us as we walked around the woods holding hands and kissing and playing and just being us in love. It was actually really fun and you can see how happy and in love we both are in the photos! I can't even put into words how excited I am for her to photograph our wedding this summer!!!

    It's hard to put into words how wonderful Kendal was. Our wedding was in El Salvador, so not your typical destination wedding in terms of being a place everyone is familiar with. There was absolutely no hesitation from her, if anything she was just as excited as we were. In addition to being a pleasure to work with, her work is stunning! I was obsessed and still am with everything. She didn't miss a beat and captured every element of our wedding and family that we wanted. And MORE! Money cannot pay for the memories she captured and we are so thankful for her and her husband.

    Kendal Riley at Ostara Photography was such a joy to work with during our entire wedding process. My fiance and I were so comfortable with her from the first meeting. Kendal communicated with us and met us for a walk thru of the venue a couple weeks before so we could assure our visions aligned. When it came to wedding day she and her team were on their A-game! They were so easy going, efficient, and fun! Kendal literally climbed through bushes to help capture our special moments - and even had the scratches to show for it! :) She returned our pictures in good time and we are in love with every single one! I am so happy we got a chance to work with Kendal - she is amazing!

    Kendal was so wonderful to work with, very accommodating and made us feel at ease in front of the camera. She had great ideas for photo locations and poses. I love her bright, natural style. The day of the wedding we had a very tight schedule to follow, and Kendal exceeded my expectations by capturing every moment and more! I would recommend her to any and all of my friends.
