Your story matters. Let's tell it.

We're an easy going couple who are all about capturing stories.

Ben grew up in northern Mexico and has a degree in Broadcast Journalism. Courtney grew up all over California and got her degree in Communications and Photography/ Videography.


We founded Sand and Stone Media because we think stories are the coolest part of being human. They connect us to each other, inspire us and help us remember the good old days. And do you know who has a great story?

It's you. You do.
You have an incredible story to tell.

As storytellers, we use our degrees in Broadcast Journalism and Communications (mixed with our super chilled approach to life, and love of breathing outside air) to create art through photo and video . Whether it's one of the biggest days of your life, a commercial shoot or just a casual in-between moment, we'll get to know you, crack some jokes and work our creative magic to authentically document your story.

What this means is that if you're looking for a wedding video, you'll get more than a few shots played over music. You'll get natural sounds and candid moments. If you're looking for a photographer, you'll get those inbetween moments instead of those awkward posed pictures.

We're stoked that you're considering us for whatever idea or shoot you have in mind!

    Beautiful photography and beautiful people!!

    Ben and Courtney have a way of capturing the moment in such a unique way it truly is magical. We had the honor of having them capture both our engagement shoot and wedding and i couldn’t have asked for a better experience! With covid, our wedding plans had changed more times than I can remember and they were with us every step of the way. We ended up having a small backyard wedding which they fit right in with our friends and family because that’s what they feel like to us! I can’t wait to have them capture more milestones in our lives.

    Amazing in every way!

    My wife and I worked with Ben and Courtney to document our elopement in Big Sur this summer and it was the best decision we made! They worked hard to make the entire process easy and comfortable for us from beginning to end. They helped us plan a ceremony location, brought props along to add something special to our photos and were well prepared with things we didn’t even think we would need! They really went above and beyond to ensure a magical experience. On top of that they both have an amazing eye for what they do— their work is truly beautiful and we can’t thank them enough for the role they played on our special day.

    Amazing couple to work with

    I was a little hesitant trying to find a photographer for our wedding but Courtney and Ben were so nice responding to all my questions and concerns. They made us feel great and only had positive vibes.

    My only regret was not taking enough photos! I was so concerned about pleasing everyone I wish we could have stepped away from dinner (it was so relaxed and chill) and did another photo session. I just feel like I didn't have enough nice photos of us!

    They were both so great to work with and I would love to someday have another session.
