    Highly Recommend !

    Augusta was so kind and professional from booking all the way to wedding day. We haven't gotten our full portfolio back yet because our wedding was just last week, but our "sneak peaks" were to die for! We are obsessed with the quality and beautiful moments her and her team helped create for us.

    Best Wedding Photographer in SLO

    From our first meeting with Augusta from Yvonne Goll Photography, we knew we were in good hands. She was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. What we appreciated the most was she took the time to have a cup of coffee with us to get to know us outside of the normal intro call.

    On the day of the wedding, she and her team were prompt, efficient, and made us feel at ease. They captured every moment beautifully, from the ceremony to the reception, and everything in between. We were blown away by the quality of the photos - they truly exceeded our expectations.

    What we appreciated most about Augusta and her team was their attention to detail. They went above and beyond to ensure that every shot was perfect, and that we were happy with the final result. They were also great at communicating with us throughout the entire process, which made us feel confident that we were in good hands.

    We could not be happier with our experience with Augusta and her team. They are talented professionals who care about their clients and go above and beyond to deliver exceptional service. We would highly recommend Yvonne Goll Photography to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding photographer in San Luis Obispo.

    Wow. Just wow.

    Sierra is fantastic! From day one, she communicated with us and seemed to understand our vision for our photos. On the big day, she executed beautifully. She was on top of everything, kept to the schedule like a German train line, and was a joy to work with.

    A few days later, we got the sneak peek pics back and we were both blown away! They were EXACTLY what we had hoped for. There were great candids. The posed photos looked natural, and not forced. Even the shots where we were goofing off came out without seeming cheesy. She really captured the feel of the wedding.

    Once we got the full set a month later, we were overjoyed at the consistency of her work. We now have an amazing collection of photos to immortalize our wedding day. We are so happy and grateful to have worked with Sierra, and the other members of the Yvonne Goll team.

    Amazing!

    We had Augusta from Yvonne Goll for our wedding in September and we could not have asked for a better experience and quality of photos!! She was fun and professional and all of the photos she and her assistant shooter captured are amazing. I truly cannot recommend them enough.

    Amazing wedding Photography -Yvonne Goll

    We are very happy we hired Yvonne Goll Photography. We are grateful for Augusta and Trent. They both did an amazing job capturing our special day. They were organized for all the general wedding photos which allowed us more time for fun and photos of our choosing. Augusta and Trent were both very attentive during our ceremony and reception. We are now enjoying all the wedding photos from the event at home. Yvonne Goll Photography sent us a box with the USB drive and plenty of photos for our home. We would definitely recommend Yvonne Goll photography for any wedding or other event. They captured the essence of the event perfectly.

    Best wedding photography team!

    Yvonne Goll and her teammate Augusta did an absolutely phenomenal job with our wedding! Not only were our photos absolutely stunning, but Yvonne really went above and beyond to help us with every little detail to make the day run smoothly. She put together a timeline to map out every minute of the day to ensure we got to all the photos that mattered most to us, without stress and without rushing. We got to enjoy our day and spend time with our guests, while also getting photos that we loved. She communicated so well with our coordinator so that we didn't have to worry about a thing. She was also the PERFECT balance of warm/patient (making two awkward people who aren't used to posing for photos feel comfortable) and down-to-business (efficiently corralling the large extended families for group photos). I would highly recommend Yvonne and anyone on her team!

    Such a talent and joy to work with!

    Where do we begin?! Yvonne is truly an amazing talent and absolutely the best! We had the pleasure of working with her for our engagement shoot and our wedding as well. Though, getting to our wedding was quite the ordeal with the uncertainty of COVID-19 planning, Yvonne was incredible though it all! Very understanding and working with us as the date changed and all the fun that surrounded that. She was always so quick to respond, even with the e-mails that had 100 questions in them. Yvonne is so kind and warm, and definitely understood the whole "vision". The photos are truly STUNNING and I'm so happy to carry them with us forever! More so, she was a true pro at handling and gathering everyone together and being most time-efficient, light-efficient, and making it special for us too. Her team is amazing and anyone is incredibly lucky to work with Yvonne! We are forever grateful for you Yvonne!!! ♥♥

    Amazing photos, amazing photographer

    Not only are Yvonne Goll’s photos phenomenal, I mean c’mon take 1 look at her Instagram, but she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera & captures every single moment of the biggest and best day of your life. Something I never thought about was how much time you spend with your photographer on your wedding day, almost more time you do then with your soon-to-be spouse, so having such a fun & genuine person near made the whole experience a breeze. And what an experience it was with Covid-19 drastically changing our plans and keeping us in limbo on whether we would have our wedding or not for a few months. Yvonne constantly checked in on us & supported our decision to have a much smaller wedding. She and her team captured every look between us, our parents, and our friends that were in attendance and we are forever grateful for the memories we have thanks to Yvonne. Photos are 10/10 but the team is 20/10!!

    Do yourself a favor and book yvonne

    I can’t say enough good things about Yvonne. When my husband and I spoke with her on the phone there was something about the way she listened and asked us questions and truly got to know us and what makes us as a couple unique. Not only is she an incredible photographer but she is an incredible person. If she didn’t live so far away I’d hang with her every weekend. Yvonne isn’t afraid to push you out of your comfort zone to get the incredible shot and make it so much fun and worth it. She was also a trooper and even drove 4 hours for our engagement shoot because we couldn’t imagine doing it anywhere else. I keep looking at our wedding photos and can’t fathom how she was able to capture all the raw emotion and love of the day. I will forever cherish these photos. I can’t imagine how wedding day without any other photographer. I’ve started at a lot of wedding photos and hers are the perfect mix of classic with some edge and spunk.

    Phenomenal

    Oh Yvonne, you were just the best. Yvonne makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. She is sweet and fun, but can also be firm and directive when needed. Her photos are outstanding. She made pictures fun and not stressful at all. She is a joy and I would recommend her to anyone! She is also just a gem of a human being, which you’ll figure out right away for yourself ;) Love you Yvonne! Thank you!

    Higuera Ranch SLO wedding

    Yvonne was from the start to end amazing! She was able to meet my husband and I on-site with the coordinator to go over details months before the wedding. She is super fun to work with
    and also organized throughout the entire planning process. During our wedding day, she made my whole family and bridal party feel really comfortable in front of cameras and got through all the family photos before the ceremony so we can enjoy cocktail hour. The MOST impressive thing was she was able to send us sneak peak photos the day after the wedding!! She and her assistant captured our wedding in a very genuine and simple but elegant way that we will remember forever!! I 100% recommend her!

    Most Amazing Experience

    Photography was the most important thing to me, since we put so much money, time, and effort into all the aspects of our wedding. The photos that will commemorate it for the rest of our lives had to be amazing.

    I hired Yvonne on a recommendation from the venue, and it was the best decision I made. She was the best vendor out of everyone I worked with; she was professional- we had a shot list scheduled and prepared beforehand and when my mom started bossing her around, she handled her so gracefully, while still getting all the shots she wanted.

    There was a fiasco with furniture for the lounge areas, and luckily Yvonne has a great relationship with a rental company and was able to get furniture out there the DAY BEFORE our wedding on the spot! The furniture was beautiful and exactly the mid century modern/ eclectic style of my father in law who designed the venue.

    We could not have been more lucky to have met Yvonne and it was a privilege to have her as our photographer. All her shots were beautiful, she gave great direction, and the editing was on point. She didn't over-touch or over filter anything. I'm happier than I ever thought I could be with the photos!

    It was an absolute pleasure to work with Yvonne for our daughters wedding 7/7/18 at Dancing Deer Farm. Amanda Holder, our wedding planner, highly recommended her, and as we were in Laguna and the bride was in Az. we had to trust this recommendation. From the minute we met her, we knew she was the best. She met with me, MOB about a month before, and walked around the entire venue planning shots. She then graciously attended the rehearsal, just so she could meet the Cassidy and Christian before the big day. On the day of the wedding, she was on time and with Ian shooting the boys, she captured every moment , working through pre- wedding chaos, stress and HEAT with such a fun energetic attitude Everyone LOVED her and Ian. After the ceremony, she moved quickly through the family shots, navigating those tricky family dynamics, extra patient with my special needs nephew, and got the couple to their cocktail party, which was high on their wish list. It was so fun to wake up and have a sneak peek at around 60 photos, which are stunning We cannot wait to see the rest, we know they will be magazine worthy. We highly recommend Yvonne.

    Yvonne's photos turned out AMAZING. Everyone looks gorgeous and the lighting is perfect in every shot. I had a very large bridal party and she took it in stride! I told her on my first meeting that I hate taking a lot of pictures (but I like having a lot of pictures, lol) and I didn't want them to interfere with my wedding. We did a first look and took all of the bridal pictures before the wedding. She took them quickly and we were able to get in all of the shots I requested. We even took a badass "Vanity Fair" style picture in the living room at Casitas Estates. I would definitely recommend her! PRO TIP - we had the DJ call out various groups during the cocktail hour that we wanted to take pictures with. We took them in the front circle area right next to the courtyard where the cocktail hour was happening so it went so fast and we got pictures with all of our various friend groups and extended family!

    There aren't enough positive things I can say about Yvonne and her team. First of all, we got married on Saturday evening and by Sunday MORNING Yvonne already sent over a sneak peek with 60 photos! Our wedding went by so fast, it was such a blur, so it made me so happy to be able to look through some highlights less than 12 hours later and relive it. Obviously it helps that the photos are STUNNING, and as people who have never had professional photos taken of us I wasn't sure how we'd look on camera, Yvonne was able to direct us so that we'd feel comfortable in front of the camera, and let me tell you, we looked gooooood. Yvonne also pretty much played as our wedding coordinator by keeping us on schedule for the first half of the day until we got to our venue (we got ready and did first look at a hotel nearby our venue). She also went above and beyond by going to our hotel and venue the day before our wedding to scope out all of the best places to take all of our photos. As a couple whose parents are both divorced Yvonne made all of the family photos SUPER comfortable and was able to efficiently and comfortably direct everyone in and out of group photos. Yvonne was also able to work very well side by side our videographer, working together they could both get what they needed simultaneously. She travels everywhere, guys, so don't hesitate to contact her! I'm so excited to see the rest of our photos! Yvonne, you are the best!

    Yvonne is the ultimate professional what made having her as our photographer even better was the fact that she is an incredible human being. She is so warm and kind and honestly the funnest! My husband and I really valued her while planning the wedding and she is a work-horse, she will get it done and in the most beautiful and seamless way.

    The day of was a breeze and I literally had to do nothing but look pretty cause she has magic photog hands! I'm obsessed with my photos and she really outdid herself and captured our wedding day exactly how we wanted.

    Thank You Yvonne for making our day so very special!

    I don't even know where to begin this review besides saying that Yvonne is simply AMAZING! Yvonne was recommended to me for my Sept 2017 wedding in Sedona, AZ and I am so thankful everyday that we chose her to work with. Yvonne went above any beyond and first took our engagement photos in Florida with our horses and was so acommodating and easy to work with, even with our animals who can be unpredictable at times. For our wedding Yvonne came out to Arizona, it was a small wedding with just our family and closest friends, she really knows how to make everyone feel comfortable, has great recommendations for shots that don't feel awkward or posed, but most importantly, she knows how to direct the crowd and deal with personalities that can be overwhelming or controlling. She got our photos back to us so quickly and I am honestly thrilled with how beautiful they are. She really captured the whole day and emotions flawlessly. If you are searching for a wedding photographer, look no further. Yvonne is so sweet, professional, and truly cares about her work and her clients. This is just one of the many gorgeous photos she took that day.

    I would choose Yvonne Goll and her team 1,000x over! They made our wedding day a breeze and they were so accommodating and just all around amazing. Receiving our wedding photos was almost as exciting as our wedding day :) I am so happy we chose Yvonne to capture our special day - it wouldn't have been the same without her!

    I cannot say enough good things about Von. She is a rockstar and wears so many hats. She is basically an organizer/wedding planner timeline queen/ social worker/ photographer and everything in between. On my wedding day the bus never showed up to take my groom to the venue. She and her other photographer drove the whole grooms side to the church! She made me feel like the most beautiful girl on the planet and had so much patience. My pictures turned out beyond amazing and I couldnt have asked for a better person to be there with us on our wedding day!

    Yvonne is AMAZING!!! We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. We did a lot of research to find the right person and are sooo happy we went with Yvonne. Her photos all turn out beautiful. One thing we didn't think about before booking, is how much time you end up spending with the photographer on your wedding day - after all they do follow you around all day to capture everything. Yvonne was a delight to be around - she kept things fun, while also keeping us on track and according to the schedule. We could not be more grateful for her and the quality of her work. BOOK YVONNE- you will not be disappointed!

    Yvonne was wonderful to work with and the pictures turned out great! She managed to keep everyone in our wedding party and family in line while we took all of the traditional pictures and she did it all with a huge smile and a great attitude. She also kept us on schedule and made our lives so much easier on a day that can obviously be hectic and stressful. We have received so many compliments on how the pictures turned out and we have Yvonne to thank for that. We especially love the sunset pictures.! The setting at our wedding was fantastic but it takes an excellent photographer's eye and expertise to catch those special moments. We can't say enough good things about Yvonne. From the very first time we FaceTimed with her we knew she was the perfect fit. We would highly recommend her to anyone planning to get married on the central coast (or anywhere for that matter). Thank you Yvonne!
