SNM Media is a wedding photography company based in Santa Margarita, California. This business is owned by a deeply passionate artist, Teresa L. Carlson, and her husband, Eric Minks, a disabled veteran with 18 years in the photography business. SnM Media primarily covers from LA north to Monterey and inland to Fresno (as a daily destination). The team will also travel all over California (with minimal travel fees) or across the USA. Teresa has worked in the "wedding" industry for almost 2 decades and enjoys her time behind the lens, surrounded by happy people on their special day. Even as a young child and teen, Teresa attended weddings with her mom, who was a wedding florist for forty years.

Great proposal photo experience in Santa Barbara

Found Teresa using Thumbtack where she responded quickly. She knows the Santa Barbara area very well and has a great eye for proposal photos. Coordinating the meetup was seamless and easy. Overall, it was a great experience working with Teresa and I would recommend her to anyone. A lot of value for the price as well. Thank you!

Made our day so special!

Teresa was so much more than a photographer. She helped hold our day together and supported me and us in all the family drama that happened. She is a saint! Our pictures are truly beautiful and so so unique to us and our love. I could not have got a better photographer even if I paid 5x more. The experience of her support and care in our day was incredible. Thank you so much for sharing our love story with us!
