MEET KENDAL

I was born in Nevada, but fancy myself a California girl, having lived in CA for 22 years. I am a September baby, a middle child, left-handed & right-brained.  I’ve never met a dessert that I didn’t like & consider myself a wine connoisseur. I’m a lover and a dreamer & I truly believe in soulmates, mermaids, and happily ever after. I first studied photography in college while living in Florence, Italy, and have been shooting ever since. Not only do I shoot weddings, but I am also a full-time Fashion and Commercial photographer. (www.kendalriley.com)  I started my photography business in 2010 and I still can’t believe I get to call this my full-time career!

THE DELAURAS

 Hi! We’re Kendal & Anthony, crazy-in-love husband & wife documentary duo! We are Big Sur Wedding Photographers that live on a mountaintop, but shoot weddings all over the world! We love photography, traveling, delicious food, & the great outdoors. You can often find us taking hikes with our Boston Terrier Otto, hitting up the slopes in Tahoe, reading a good book on our couch, visiting wineries all over the country, or on some wild adventure exploring the world! We happen to think that photography is one of the most important things to consider when planning your wedding. So much time, effort and planning go into every last detail of your day and we treasure the responsibility of capturing each moment so that you will be able to re-live your wedding for years and years to come.

MEET ANTHONY

I was born in Michigan and moved out to Mammoth Mountain in 2010 (that’s where Kendal and I first met). I am a Gemini, firstborn and can often time be found with my nose stuck in a book. I love music, microbrews, and hockey (Go Detroit RedWings). I dreamed of being a national geographic photographer when I was a kid, so picking up a camera and shooting side by side with Kendal is a pretty awesome career choice. Kendal has taught me everything she knows from shooting ceremonies, portraits & details, to putting on boutonnieres and tying ties. We’ve been shooting together for  over 10 years. On your wedding day, I am your go-to guy. I am always there to help move the heavy things and make life easier!!

WE HAVE A PASSION FOR INTIMATE, ALLURING & ROMANTIC OUTDOOR WEDDINGS. WEDDINGS THAT USE RUGGED COASTLINES, MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS, ENDLESS GRASSLANDS, & MAGICAL DESERTS AS THEIR BACKDROPS!
