Still Obsessing over her work, authenticity, and magic she creates!

Sefra was and is so intentional, calming, kind and professional. We endured some rain on our wedding day and although some may see that as chaos, Sefra took on the day with poise. She captured our day perfectly. Never missing a beat, special moment, or perfect opportunity for a great photo. We are still obsessed months later with our engagement shoot and wedding photos and can’t wait for the next opportunity for her to photograph our special moments!

Professional & Passionate

From our first encounter, you could immediately tell how much Sefra loves what she does. She takes the time to explain her process and guides you the whole time while letting you simply love and express yourself. The amount of emotion and life captured in each photo is breathtaking. You can feel the moment over and over again and we are so fortunate and blessed to have found a photographer that captured our family so perfectly on such a memorable day.

Sefra was an absolute ROCKSTAR

I literally cannot say enough good things about Sefra. She was AMAZING for both our engagement shoot and wedding day and made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. She works very quickly, which was amazing so we could go enjoy our wedding celebration and our wedding party did not get photo fatigue! She is extremely professional, responsive, and above all talented. I highly highly recommend Sefra and even as someone who lives in a different state, I would fly back to the central coast just to get photos taken by her for any of my life’s milestones. Thank you Sefra!

Trust her. Let her work her magic. Be amazed.

What a creative talent Sefra is. Such a take charge attitude but also made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Take my advice when I say to book this artist. Give her freedom, creative space, and allow her to show you the magical moments on your special day.

Best of the Best

Unbelievable. That’s the word that comes to mind when I look at our wedding photos. I could not believe how perfect these photos are. How much it captures my wedding day in the most perfect way. Our family first went to Sefra in 2020 for a family shoot. It was so much different than any other photographer we have been to. It was so easy. So natural. Once I saw our family pictures I knew I wanted her for my wedding. It was an easy decision. A bride already has so much to worry about on her wedding day and Sefra really helped things flow. I knew I didn’t want to be pulled away from my wedding for a long time to do pictures. Sefra really helped us get all of our pictures done while still being able to enjoy our wedding with our family. That really meant a lot to us. These pictures were everything we could have asked for and more. So if you’re looking for someone to capture the most amazing photos and someone who will help meet all of your needs on your special day, you know who to go to. Thank you Sefra

Sefra Escobar

Photos were everything and more for my family. Sefra captured above our expectations. She is truly a artist. I fell in love with her work over Instagram and had to hire her for our big day. Very happy with having her as our shooter!

AMAZING photographer

I’ve been eyeing Sefra for a while and finally was able to book her.
I told her we’ve never done real professional pictures and where a little uncomfortable but she was AMAZING! Helped pose us and made us feel so comfortable! She was so much fun to work with and had the BEST personality.

Amazing Photographer!

My fiance and I hired Sefra to take our engagement photos. I had contacted so many photographers in my area and Sefra was super responsive. During our actual shoot session, I had shared with her that my fiance and I were not great in front of the camera, but she did not see that as a problem. She was great at giving us direction and our pictures turned out absolutely amazing! Not to mention, she has an awesome personality. I would absolutely recommend her for any occasion!

The BEST photographer on the central coast

Sefra shot both mine and my sisters weddings over the past year, as well as my engagement shoot. She is a magician at what she does, and knows how to control a big crazy scene when it comes to bridal parties and family photos. There's no better way to remember life's moments than from her beautiful work.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
