Chasing Light Photo & Film

Chasing Light | Photo & Video is a San Diego-based wedding photography and videography team devoted to capturing the real moments that make a wedding unforgettable. The quiet glances, the uncontrollable laughter, the tears during a first look—these are the moments that matter most. With a documentary-style approach, the team focuses on preserving the genuine emotion and natural beauty of each couple’s story as it unfolds. Russ and Clara, a husband-and-wife team with more than a decade of experience documenting weddings together. Their shared passion for storytelling allows them to see moments from both an artistic and emotional perspective.

“Truly the best experience with Russ and Clara! From our engagement shoot a year before our wedding, where Clara took stunning photos by the beach, to this March where Russ and his team came to the desert for photo and video, we could not have been happier. Photoshoots can be daunting if you're not used to them, especially with poses that feel awkward, but they make you feel so comfortable and the poses don't come out awkward once captured. When it comes to wedding day, Chasing Light is such a well oiled machine. They know what shots will be perfect and keeps everything on schedule. The photos came back SO quickly and friends and family couldn't stop commenting about how great they all turned out to be. Then comes the video and it's so special to relive everything. You get allllll the content, not just selects or highlights. It was such an advantage working with the same team that does your engagement shoot and wedding day of content because a relationship and trust forms over that time. I honestly could not recommend Chasing Light enough. If you care about your photos and videos, it's a no brainer to book Chasing Light!”

“Eduardo was very nice to work with since the beginning. He is very kind and professional and just does a great job without adding any stress. He provided some portfolios of previous work he had done, which were very photo journalistic, not just the posed shots, and we knew he was the one! He definitely has an eye for placement, reflections, and catching people’s authenticity. He spent the whole wedding day with us, from getting ready all the way till the sparkler exit. I never even saw him take a break. He even ran with us to get some sunset photos at a nearby vineyard while guests were having dinner. He even got some good shots of everyone on the dance floor without being too in your face, I didn’t even notice he was there! We got all of the photos we wanted and more. Eduardo definitely doesn’t treat his clients as a number, he understands the importance of the day and ensures that he captures it in a way that tells the story of the day. Highly recommend Eduardo for your photography needs!”

If you've ever felt awkward in photos, that's my favorite problem to solve. I'm Heather, a loose editorial wedding and elopement photographer, and I'll go anywhere you're getting married. Not because I have to. Because I want to. I give you real direction so you know exactly what to do, then I step back and let something true happen inside the frame. I can't fabricate moments, so I don't try. You get bold, stylish portraits and the real in-between stuff in the same gallery, and all of it still looks like you. I'm part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and every couple, every identity, every kind of love is welcome here because of that.

Her eye for special moments and her creative approach brought the day to life in a way that exceeded everyone’s expectations. As a wedding planner, it’s a joy to collaborate with vendors who not only deliver exceptional work but also make the day smoother for everyone involved. Allen is absolutely one of those people, and I look forward to working with her again!”

“WOW -- I can't begin to express what an awesome time we had doing family photographs with Katherine. At first i was hesitant because my family is high-energy but hard to wrestle down to sit still and grab a photo. :) We've been wanting to do this for years but never found the right time, person and place. I can honestly say Katherine brought that all together and created a very memorable experience for us. We live out of state, but I would honestly consider hiring and flying Katherine out for any of my photo needs moving forward! Her communication, technology and contractual processes were top-notch. You will not regret having her for your next photographed event!!”

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

I’m a people person. I’m observant, intuitive, and deeply inspired by real connection. I care about experiences, emotion, and the kind of moments that can’t be staged. I love photography because it’s storytelling in its purest form. It’s the ability to capture energy, emotion, and meaning in a split second. What drives me is creating images that go beyond aesthetics — photos that hold memory, movement, and feeling. For me, photography is about preserving what’s real, so you can return to it again and again.

“Maya is a true professional with a creative vision and great imagination. She is so talented in capturing stunning images! Maya provided helpful guidance on posing and positioning to ensure we felt comfortable and natural in front of the camera. She was attentive to every detail, helping us select the perfect backdrops and locations. Maya's calming presence and warm personality made the photography experience smooth and enjoyable. The pictures turned out beautiful!! See it yourself!”

“Our wedding was genuinely a DIY wedding ran by the power of Hashem and our community way back in August 2025. We had one of our close friends, Jordan Daniels, who offered his phenomenal photography for our wedding ceremony. Unfortunately, Jordan had a previous obligation that did not allow him to stay very long past the ceremony, and that’s where Jessica comes in and shines. Jessica was another last-minute investment for us, as it was so important to capture as much of the day we possibly could. Although the wedding ceremony photos are so essential to capture the wedding party, traditions, and family, the reception photos Jessica provided us revealed the authentic joy and celebration the afterparty brought. Jessica was consistently responsive in her communication and fair with her pricing. Her turnaround speed after editing was also surprisingly fast. She understood, because she was popping in later during the reception, there was no need for her to ask to start her photography. She is familiar with the wedding venue scene in San Diego and knew exactly where the reception was without any issues. She is a natural and got started right away on capturing those genuine candid moments. She paid attention to the small details on the tables, the décor, the cake, the dancing, the friends, and the music. We are so happy to see these memories that will be here with us for a lifetime thanks to Jessica Paige.”

I would love to connect more with you at katieclarephotos. com! I was raised in Northern California and was drawn to photography in middle school and would enter photos of our family pets or family backpacking trips in our local county fair. My passion for photography grew while working as a hiking guide in Yosemite National Park. I mean… who wouldn’t want a stunning photo of Half Dome? El Capitan? Yosemite Falls? But it has been photographing wedding and couples that I find the most fun and rewarding. I strive to visually capture the “spirit” of my subjects and record an emotional memory of the occasion.

“We were so lucky to find PKA Photo and Video to capture the memories of our wedding day! We had an intimate wedding on Coronado Beach with just our family members, and we absolutely love the highlight video Mia made for us! What made it even more special was how she was able to incorporate the personal song we wrote and sang with each other. Hearing the groom's guitar strumming and our own voices singing the duet in the background was so meaningful. Listening to our vows, (which were clearly recorded - by the way), and seeing the beautiful video clips of our family on the beach is a cherished gift. We are so blessed to have this video to replay when we look back on this most precious day of our lives. It makes us so emotional thinking about what happened to us with our previous videographer, and how they came to our rescue by agreeing to be our videographer at the last minute.

Photography has been my passion since I was five, and turning it into a career has been the most rewarding journey. One of my clients shared: "The pictures came out beautiful and had my mom in tears. Kayla made us all feel so comfortable and beautiful. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again."

Their communication style made the planning process smooth and stress-free - they were very responsive over text which was so convenient.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this talented duo. Kayla simply rocked it!

“My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Alan from Love Story Photography for our Safari Park wedding! Soon after sending off our inquiry, we heard from Alan right away who scheduled a FaceTime call with us. Little did we know, he had his lovely wife, Heidi, join the call as well. We immediately felt their warmth and love, and were eager to book them as our wedding photographer and ceremony officiant! We had a great experience working with Alan prior to the wedding, as he was always so kind in answering any logistical and timeline questions we had. Having Alan and Heidi so in tune with each other really helped move the planning process along very well. They are true wedding experts and their guidance was instrumental to us! The morning of my wedding, I was a ball of nerves, I was late to my first look, and to top it all off, as soon as I got my wedding gown on, my maid of honor discovered there was a huge black spider on it, which freaked me out even more! But, before I even had a chance to lay eyes on the creepy spider, Alan was down on the floor, cupping it in his hands and eliminating it from the room. I think that was the moment I finally began to relax and let it sink in that I was in the best hands possible with Alan. I can't say enough great things about his talent and tact. He was organized and had many deadlines to meet to follow our timeline, but was still always kind and amicable to everyone who crossed his path. He delivered beautiful photos that had meaning to us, which had exactly the elements we wanted in terms of details, animals, and family and friend shots. I love the vibrancy and timelessness of the photos he produced. I can't recommend Alan and Heidi enough. You won't regret working with these two awesome and kind people. They are wonderful wedding vendors, and even greater humans!”

I’m a film-forward wedding photographer based in San Diego, capturing weddings with a blend of documentary storytelling and soft editorial direction. My work focuses on real, unscripted moments and genuine emotion, paired with simple, natural portraits that feel effortless and timeless. I shoot a hybrid of film and digital, using natural light and warm tones to create imagery that feels romantic, intimate, and true to how the day actually felt.

“It’s been over a year since Aisha captured our intimate wedding ceremony and I am still in awe of our photos!!! I remember the second I saw our photos in my inbox and thinking, “wow I can’t believe that’s actually us!”. I had sent over some inspo pictures prior to our wedding ceremony, and Aisha executed my vision perfectly, especially in helping us figure out how to pose. I would definitely book with her again for family shoots in the future, she was so easy and kind to work with.”

Hi! I’m Paige Hill — a San Diego-based wedding photographer with a heart for storytelling, a love for romance, and 12+ years behind the camera. With 200+ weddings captured across the U.S., my style is genuine, joyful, and deeply connected. I believe photography should feel effortless and true to you—like stills from your favorite romantic comedy or the lyrics to your favorite love song. I’m here for the real, joy-filled moments that feel beautifully and authentically you.

“We chose Paige Hill Photography and couldn't have made a better decision. From our first conversation, Paige was responsive and supportive, making the entire process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, she captured stunning photos with that vintage vibe we loved, and her editing brought everything to life. What really stood out was how efficient she was, she got the shots we needed without eating up our timeline, which meant we actually got to enjoy the party instead of being stuck in photos all night. Paige helped us stay on schedule and made sure we hit every moment that mattered. She's truly the best at what she does and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who gets things done right.”

To me, capturing the moments of your wedding day is not only about making photos. It is about seeing your love in every single detail. The way you look, smile, touch and hold each other’s hands are those tiny things that help me portray the story of your big love without any words being said.

“I really enjoyed Natalia so much! So creative with the film shots. The eventual overall photos were beautiful. I’m not sure how she ran around and captured it all in such a way! She was very punctual and very cooperative about the multiple locations over the course of the day. Wonderful photos I’ll adore forever. Thanks so much Natalia!”
