We had the most lovely experience working with Kendal and Anthony, of The DeLauras. They not only created incredible photography and videography but also helped us stay present throughout the day while making sure we stayed on track with our packed schedule.

Ahead of the wedding, Kendal and Anthony helped us build confidence for our big day by giving us generous amounts of time to walk through our schedule and gave feedback on what needed tweaking. They had worked at our venue various times in the past and were experts on what works and suggested many helpful tips like purchasing sun umbrellas for the guests during the ceremony. They also suggested we escape to the forest while guests arrived to go on a photoshoot, which was so fun. It was a blast connecting with them ahead of the wedding as they brought a fun collaborative tone during the planning period.

On the wedding day, Kendal and Anthony played a key role in helping ensure the day was on track and while doing so made sure we were present by having us pause to soak in the key moments of the day. They brought such an upbeat and professional energy throughout the entire day, which gave us all of the confidence we needed to make sure we were in good hands and helped us let go of control and just enjoy the day. We had so much fun with them throughout the day and were so thankful to have them help guide us through the journey. They played a key role in the success of the day. And the photography and videography they delivered is incredible!! We are so glad to have had them capture our special moments during our big day.

We can’t recommend The DeLauras enough!! We’d pick them again in a heartbeat. Their professionalism and quality of work are unmatched, and they are a pleasure to work with. We hope to work with them again sometime in the future!

The DeLauras photographed our Carmel Valley wedding on August 27th of last year. I cannot express enough how beautiful the photos were! My husband and I were very intent on being present on the wedding day, soaking it all in and capturing every moment. We were blown away by how well the photographs captured the entire day. When seeing our photos for the first time, we were immediately transported back to our wedding day and just cried. You were able to see all of the joy, the sweet moments, the excitement, all of these things came through very clearly in the photos and we are forever grateful. Our wedding video is in progress and not yet completed but if the photos and the slideshow were any indication of what to expect, we will be overjoyed. So many of our guests and family members raved about how beautifully the photos turned out and how sweet Kendal and Anthony were. Their talent is unmatched. They are a lovely couple who work so well together. Very chill, salt of the earth people. Extremely professional. Stellar work; even better than you could have hoped for. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them and cannot thank them enough for so beautifully capturing our wedding day. I highly recommend them and would hire them again and again.

My husband and I saw a photo that the DeLauras took at our venue in San Clemente years ago and knew we wanted to work with them. Even though they live 5+ hours away, they agreed to do our wedding and were AMAZING. We went up to Big Sur to do our engagement shoot (even though they offered to come down and do it near us) and instantly felt at ease with Kendal and Anthony. We were so thrilled by how the photos turned out and had such a good time with Kendal and Anthony that we were actually excited to get to spend all day with them at our wedding. I am super un-photogenic but they give such good directions and know the most flattering lighting/angles that I am actually in awe of how good they did capturing flattering candids. It’s amazing how much of the love, warmth, and even laughter come through their photos. We are beyond in love with our photos and will cherish them forever. But above all, I am most grateful for the times on our wedding day that Kendal and Anthony reminded my husband and I to take it in and be present in the moment—with so much going on, your head is a thousand different places and it’d be easy forget/be too busy to stop and take it all in. Some of my favorite memories of the day were the private moments between my husband and I spent taking it in, thanks to Kendal and Anthony.
