We can ensure that you can get married as quickly as possible — and have incredible photographs to remember your Monterey wedding day by.
Q: Can a wedding photojournalist create artistic portraits on my Monterey wedding day?

Q: How can couples find reviews of Monterey wedding photographers?
A: We call them Client Letters. At the WPJA, we decided more than 20 years ago to avoid incorporating those third-person testimonials and endorsements that are found all too often in advertisements. Instead, we elevated our listings with the use of Client Letters, which represent the actual words and feelings of the clients who booked those Monterey wedding photographers for their own wedding.
