“I could not have asked for anything better than what Nancy and Lori did for my husband and I's wedding. Nancy was quick to respond to my questions leading up to the wedding, and made me feel at ease every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, Nancy and Lori were our biggest supporters and cheerleaders throughout the day. Nancy brought our vision to life, and made sure to catch every sweet memory throughout the day. She quickly got preview photos to us after the wedding so we could get a sneak peak at the most beautiful photographs we could imagine, and we cannot wait to see the full gallery soon.

  • Serves Idyllwild, CA

Last Minute Photoshoot is run by Stephanie and Son, a husband and wife team serving couples across Southern California. Our clients usually come to us because they want certainty. Whether it’s a surprise proposal, engagement, elopement, or courthouse wedding, we’re known for being thorough, responsive, and showing up when it matters most. Many of the moments we capture come together quickly, sometimes even last minute. Our role is simple: remove the stress, guide the plan, and deliver peace of mind so you can focus on the moment.

“I cannot say enough great things about Steph and Son. From the very start of my proposal planning process, they stood by me, discussed my ideas, and helped guide me to the perfect execution. Proposing in California while traveling from out of state seemed like a large undertaking, but the two of them were informative, patient, and most importantly genuinely caring about myself and my fiancé. This truly felt like a collaborative effort and not just choosing a basic photographer. I can’t recommend them enough to anybody for a proposal, or any other event in the SoCal area.”

We are Emry Photography, A husband & wife photography team turned photo+cinema collective. We have a knack for turning strangers into friends & we love a good party. We work with the best couples in the world, telling love stories truthfully & without boundaries. We show up when you ask us to & don't leave until your story is told. We may take you off roading or steal you a few minutes for sunset, because we aren't satisfied until we know something couldn't be done any better. Our work is characterized by light, color and story through unguarded moments. We can't wait to tell your story.

“I've had the pleasure of working with Emry as a wedding coordinator for years. Behind the scenes, they are AMAZING to work with. They always have the client's best interest in mind, they're flexible with changes, they stay on time with photos (which sadly, is rare these days!), and they go above and beyond to help make the wedding day go smoothly. That's why when I got engaged, they were one of the first people I texted. I knew I’d be able to relax and enjoy the day with Emily and Ryan there, and they exceeded every expectation. They are incredibly organized, supportive from start to finish, and the photos speak for themselves... absolutely beautiful. Their entire team has such a creative eye for detail, and they make everything feel effortless. If you’re not used to being in front of a camera, they guide you every step of the way, from how to stand, where to put your hands, and even making sure family photos look cohesive (no sunglasses, no phones in pockets, etc.). My husband also had a dream picture he wanted taken with his motorcycle, and the dedication they put into getting the perfect shot is unmatched haha I can’t express how grateful I am to the Emry team. They played such a huge role in making our day feel seamless, and I’m beyond thankful they were a part of it.”

“From the very first Zoom call, we knew Bueno Family Photography was the one. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine interest in who we are as a couple made us instantly click. Before meeting the Buenos, we had already booked another photographer/videographer, but something just didn’t feel right; we didn’t feel fully seen or understood. Taking a leap of faith and switching to the Buenos was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They were incredibly easy to work with from start to finish and so personable with all of our guests; they were literally a hit at the wedding. Their direction and posing made us feel comfortable and confident, while still allowing moments to feel natural and candid. Their creativity truly shines, and we absolutely loved how they included our fur baby so seamlessly and thoughtfully in our engagement shoot without me asking! One of the things that meant the most to us was how deeply they understood how important it was to incorporate our culture into our photographs. They didn’t just capture it, they honored it beautifully. Sandy went above and beyond, even helping me with color palette ideas for MOG dresses and offering thoughtful suggestions to tie everything together on our big day. Their turnaround time for sneak peeks was amazing, and every photo and video brought us right back to the emotions of the day. We are so grateful we trusted Bueno Family Photography with such an important moment in our lives.

Hi, I’m Andria, the photographer and creative eye behind The Salt & Serenity Photography. I’m drawn to connection in its simplest form: love, family, and the in-between seasons worth remembering. My approach is relaxed, natural, and guided by light, with a coastal, timeless feel. Growing up in San Diego, creativity was always part of my life and eventually led me to study film production and business. That background shaped the way I see stories, emotion, and the beauty in what often goes unnoticed. Today, I photograph weddings, engagements, families, and motherhood with the same intention—creating space for real moments to unfold and preserving them in a way that feels honest, calm, and true to you.

“Andria is absolutely amazing! She is so professional, incredibly sweet, and such a pleasure to work with! She makes the entire experience so easy and enjoyable, and her work is truly beautiful. All of the photos turned out absolutely stunning! She is incredibly talented, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!”
