In Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, professional photography isn't optional — it's the difference between a listing that lingers and one that sells above asking price in days. We produce the full suite: editorial-quality stills, cinematic walkthroughs, aerial drone, and twilight shoots that make every property look like it belongs in Architectural Digest.
Newport Beach is home to one of the largest recreational harbors on the West Coast. We specialize in yacht listing photography, on-water action shoots from a chase boat, aerial drone coverage over Newport Harbor, and lifestyle content for charter companies. Few photographers operate at this level in the OC marine market.
Laguna Beach and Newport Beach are two of the most sought-after wedding destinations in the country. Couples fly in from across the world to exchange vows on our cliffs and coastline. We bring the artistry and reliability that destination weddings demand — beautiful imagery, cinematic films, and a calm, experienced presence on your most important day.
Before a potential client calls your office, they've already watched your video online. Attorney biography videos, client testimonials, and practice area explainers are among the highest-converting marketing assets a law firm can invest in. We produce broadcast-quality dual-camera interviews with professional lighting and audio — edited and ready for your website, LinkedIn, and YouTube channel.
Patients choose providers the same way they choose restaurants — they watch, read, and trust. A professional doctor introduction video or patient testimonial is now one of the most effective tools for converting website visitors into booked appointments. Most practices complete 2–3 videos in a single efficient half-day session, producing content that works for years.
The most powerful fundraising tool your organization can have is a human story told beautifully on camera. Donors give to people, not programs. We create cinematic mini-documentaries, beneficiary interviews, and event recap videos that move audiences and drive giving. Nonprofit pricing available — ask us about our mission-driven rate.
OC's dining scene is world-class — your photography should be too. We shoot signature dishes, cocktail programs, interior ambiance, and team portraits for restaurants, hotels, and resorts along the coast. Monthly content retainers keep your social media fed without the hassle of coordinating a new shoot every time.
From executive headshots and team portraits to company events, product launches, and branded video content — we help OC businesses look as professional as they are. Whether you need a polished LinkedIn presence, a boardroom-ready team photo, or a full corporate brand video, Trestles Media delivers broadcast-quality results on your timeline. We work efficiently around office hours, minimizing disruption while maximizing output.
The OC coastline is one of the most action-packed sports landscapes in the world — from the legendary barrels at Trestles to youth tournaments, triathlons, and elite athletic events up and down the coast. We shoot fast, read the action, and deliver images that capture the peak of the moment. Whether you need coverage for a surf brand, a youth league, an athlete building their portfolio, or a full event with multiple shooters, Trestles Media brings professional-grade sports photography to every assignment.

Client Words
The listing photos were absolutely stunning. We had multiple offers above asking price within 72 hours of going live. Worth every penny and then some.
We hired Trestles Media for our yacht listing and the aerial shots over Newport Harbor were jaw-dropping. The boat sold in two weeks. I'm using them for every listing going forward.
Our attorney bio videos transformed our website. We've had multiple new clients mention they chose our firm after watching the videos. The production quality was truly broadcast-level.
