Wedding Photography in Salinas, CA

The Monterey County, Salinas Valley setting of Salinas has real implications for wedding photography. Here's what to know:

When to get married: The Salinas Valley has a cooler, more marine-influenced climate than the inland Central Valley. Late spring and early fall are ideal — the afternoon wind from Monterey Bay cools things down but can be strong.

The Salinas aesthetic: Salinas couples often look toward Monterey Peninsula venues for ceremony sites, while the Salinas Valley's working ranch properties and the Carmel Valley wine corridor offer distinctive agricultural settings.

Local backdrop: The national steinbeck center, pinnacles national park to the east, and the carmel valley wine country to the southwest is the kind of location that places a gallery firmly in Salinas.

For couples in Salinas, the local venue market spans a real range of settings.
