Best Photographer I've Worked With

Applemoon Photography did not just meet my expectations but exceeded them, and at such a reasonable price! My husband and I have a huge and segregated family, but Applemoon took hundreds of pictures of many variations in just half an hour after the ceremony! By the end of the whole wedding, thousands of both posed and candid pictures were taken. Even my family members were telling me how impressed they were. If that is not awesome enough, the pictures from our engagement AND our wedding were edited and available to us in around 7 days or less. The photographer made us feel so comfortable and had a clear vision while also frequently checking in with our wants and needs. She was clearly experienced and showed great enthusiasm, professionalism and kindness on the job. Communication was never an issue as she was always quick to respond and proactive about any potential miscommunications. I would absolutely recommend Applemoon Photography to anyone and everyone in need of photography services on the central coast! I really cannot be more grateful and happy with the outcome of my choice to hire them.

Great and professional couple to work with

Maren and Michael were exceptional photographers that made the experience of awkwardly posing without previous modeling experience extremely comfortable and fun. They were fast, professional, and responsive. The quality of all the pictures are excellent and rival those found in the most extravagant magazine advertisements.

Maren and Michael are the most passionate, personable, and incredible photographers you could ever find!!

From the moment we reached out and contacted AppleMoon Photography it was obvious that we had made the right choice! Michael and Maren are very passionate about photography and it is very clear that they care deeply about capturing your wedding day in a way that is uniquely you.
Michael and Maren were so easy to work with! We live in Colorado and had to plan our wedding from a distance, from the first Skype call they immediately made us feel comfortable and relaxed. During the planning process they made sure we knew they were prepared to capture our day just the way we wanted... and they did a terrific job! They struck the perfect balance of taking amazing images without making the wedding all about the photographs. They were so personable during the wedding, they blended right in and magically captured all of the right moments! And if capturing the most perfect wedding photos wasn’t enough… they had a great idea to meet us at sunset in a different location following the wedding to get our special couple shots (since we weren’t able to do an engagement photo session). They did a great job of capturing us together in unique and memorable ways. We are so very grateful for Michael and Maren for being a part of our wedding day and we absolutely recommend that you choose them to capture your special day!!
