If you thought Mikayla & Jonny’s engagement photos were a dream, wait until you see these wedding photos. I mean, come on. I really may have never seen a more crazy for each other, in love couple. Photographing these two is the easiest thing, time and time again. The way their faces light up when they’re around each other, when they look at each other, when they interact with each other, ahhh it is just magic. We were so honored when they asked us to photograph their wedding, and to help them find the ideal venue, as they were less familiar with the San Luis Obispo wedding industry than we are.
Mikayla and Jonny wanted a venue which showcased the natural beauty of SLO’s iconic rolling hills, would make for an effortless gathering space for their family and friends, and, most importantly, had a pool. The pool party at the end of the wedding was the ultimate element of their wedding vision, and something they were not willing to part with. After the best day of their lives, they couldn’t imagine doing anything other than jumping in a pool with all their best friends. It just so naturally happens that our favorite venue, Higuera Ranch, had literally everything these two were looking for.
By the same stroke of good luck, Higuera Ranch had one August date left, and it became Mik and Jonny’s. The epic pool party wedding was on.
This wedding was so special to us, because so many of our friends (past couples, too!) were guests. Mik and Jonny also love Jesus with everything in them, and theirs was a wedding that was centered around the goodness of God. We always, always love the opportunity to be part of the weddings of fellow believers!
This day was, of course, picture perfect. San Luis Obispo in the late summer and early fall is a dream come true. The bridal party was a hoot, Mik and Jonny’s people came to have a good time, and we felt like another two in their friend group. As the clock struck nine, it was time to head over to Higuera Ranch’s heated pool, complete with a waterslide and ample gathering space for everyone to join in on the fun. DJ Pete set up a second station at the pool to keep the music going, and even brought fog machines to add to the vibe.
We had so much fun (and got so freakin’ soaked) photographing the moment everyone truly had been waiting for, before sending Mik and Jonny off into their forever. At the end of the night, we looked at each other and said, “more weddings like this, please!”

Hannah and Tom have spent much of their relationship living in an RV and travelling the country, and so it felt almost natural to have a national park themed wedding in one of their favorite destinations, Arizona.
