I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

If you are looking for a photographer in San Diego, look no further than Daniel. We first worked with him for our engagement photos and knew immediately we had to book him for our wedding. Daniel is incredibly friendly and professional, but what we loved most was his eye for candid moments. He captured the true essence of our day and all the little things that made it special. We are completely in love with our photos! One of the highlights was his film photography option—the care package he sent with the negatives, prints, and a handwritten card was such a beautiful, personal touch. It’s clear he truly cares about his clients. Working with him was an amazing experience from start to finish, and being able to book our videographer through him made the entire process seamless. If you are in the Southern California area, you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much, Daniel, for giving us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

HRichardson Photography

  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Spring Valley, CA

I started my photography business with a simple goal in mind: to capture real, authentic moments that tell a love story in the most genuine way possible. Photography has been a passion of mine for years, and weddings quickly became my favorite because of the emotion, joy, and once-in-a-lifetime moments they hold. I love creating a comfortable environment where couples can relax and just be themselves while I document the magic. Every wedding is unique, and I feel honored every time a couple trusts me to preserve their memories.

HRichardson Photography was absolutely wonderful to work with for our daughters birthday. Hanna communicates very well and responds super quick! She puts the most effort into capturing memorable moments. Hanna made my whole family happy and involved, and even made my baby smile and laugh. We were very pleased with her work and attention to detail. If anyone wants photos they'll look back at every single day, she is the person to take them. Hanna made us very happy and delivered our album of photos the next day. I am just in AWE with how great she is - everyone needs photos taken by her!!

I can't fabricate moments, so I don't try to. I pose you with real direction so you feel confident and know exactly what to do, then I step back and let the actual moment happen. That's loose editorial: bold, stylish portraits sitting right next to genuine in-between feelings, in the same gallery. I'm Heather, based in Arizona and Southern California, but I go wherever the wedding is. I want your photos to look incredible and still look like you, not a version of you that's been posed and polished into someone else.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working alongside Allen as the photographer for one of my weddings, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Allen was professional, attentive, and a true team player. She captured every detail beautifully while remaining unobtrusive, allowing the couple and guests to feel completely at ease. 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!

Hi, I'm Michelle - a wedding photographer based in San Diego and the Denver Metro area. I split my time between California and Colorado, capturing celebrations in both locations. Im drawn to documenting weddings in a way that feels effortless, refined, and true to you. My style blends candid storytelling with an editorial eye- focusing on real connection, natural movement, and the in-between moments that often end up meaning the most.

Michelle Wisor Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our elopement. From the very first interaction, she was extremely prompt in her communication, which was so helpful during the busy wedding planning process. The quality of her work was truly amazing - the photos captured were sharp, gorgeous, and perfectly showcased the special moments of our day. Michelle made me feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot, and the pictures came out beautifully.

Hi Friends! I am SO happy you're here! You're in the thick of planning! If you want to spend your day savoring, being with your people more than taking the perfect insta photo, and can't wait to dive into life with your partner - I am your GAL! You'll look back on your day seeing the emotion, the connections, and the still moments that you were present for, with me as your photographer. I also am a pair for those who consider themselves "awkward" or "doesn't like themselves in photos." With my guidance, attention to detail and direction, we are a pair! I would love to hear about your day to see if we're a fit! Can't wait to hear from you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were completely overwhelmed when we saw our wedding pictures! The photos' color, clarity, and authenticity perfectly capture what we remember of the day. There are also great shots of things we didn't remember, like us canoodling in the venue's background. We felt like Katherine was part of our wedding party, not just a vendor. She was great at directing us for group photos, ensuring everyone was in the right spot without feeling rushed. She is funny and a total photography pro, and now we want her to take all of our images. By the end of the wedding, we had friends asking for her information and complimenting her left and right. She helped everyone stick to the timeline, adjust clothing, engage children, and remind everyone to laugh, breathe, and smile!

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.

Irina is an awesome and experienced photographer which is helpful when you have no idea what to expect on your wedding day. She works with you and your coordinator to make sure you get the shots you want. She even recommended some based on previous weddings she did at our venue. The planning process was straightforward and her rates were reasonable. On the day of the wedding she helped us get ready and reassured us that everything would be okay. She never stopped taking pictures and captured some wonderful moments throughout the night. We anxiously awaited our photos and they turned out better than we expected. She did a wonderful job capturing all the important memories. All of the pictures were gorgeous and she really made you feel special. We definitely recommend her to anyone getting married in the Carlsbad area!

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!

I've always had a love for photography and I feel privileged to bring my passion to life. I want my photos to capture the genuine feeling of the moment and to reflect you and your story.

Madison is soooo talented!! We first worked with Madison for our engagement shoot. It was our first time doing a professional photoshoot and she was able to make us feel comfortable and calm during the shoot. She shot our engagement shoot on film and it was beautiful. We loved working with Madison so much that we wanted her for our traditional tea ceremony and our wedding day. During our tea ceremony she was familiar with the culture and she offered to help when things were hectic. She was super professional and I loved how the photos turned out! Madison also did our wedding day and from the beginning she was on time, very professional, and kind. I gave her my Pinterest inspiration board and she was fully able to execute all my inspirations and more! During my wedding she was able to keep us on track of time and communicate to everyone. She even helped pin my veil when it was falling off or offered to hold my train. We also got our photo preview back the day after our wedding and WOW we were blown away. The photos really captured such a beautiful day and the raw emotions. I would 1000% recommend Madison to all of our family and friends. She is so professional and her work is beautiful!! Thank you so much Madison!

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.

100/10, one million stars, cannot recommend enough!!! We absolutely loved working with Katie from the moment we first met to take engagement photos. She was super friendly and made us feel very comfortable right away. For two camera shy people who felt out of their element going into professional photos, we were amazed at how quickly we got the gallery back and at how beautiful every single shot turned out. Our initial experience translated into an amazing wedding day with Katie. She was so helpful and communicative leading up to the big day and helping coordinate timelines, shot lists, etc. and did amazing adhering to everything we planned. Her guidance was incredible - she helped us achieve poses and photos that felt so natural and romantic and was our #1 hype girl all day/night. Our wedding party and family had nothing but amazing things to say about their interactions with her throughout the day and we were so happy to have her celebrate with us! The wedding gallery came back right on time and was extensive. We are so happy with the amount of photos we got back, the editing, the organized gallery, the quality - everything was perfect! We are so grateful for the hard work that Katie put in to create our most cherished memories and you won’t regret going with her as your photographer! We love you Katie!!

I can't say enough about Mia, Laron and their team. Of all my wedding vendors, they were my favorite (and easiest) to work with. They were very accessible and easy to reach; I could message my random thoughts and ideas at any hour and Mia would respond almost immediately. They work tirelessly around the clock to get things done so you aren't waiting to get your photos back; mine were sent to me the next day. They are open to suggestions and ideas; I had different visions for my engagement shoot and they were willing to do things out of the norm to make it work. Our photoshoots were fun and unique. I did a boudoir shoot with Mia and she made me feel very comfortable in an intimate setting and it was not awkward at all. Mia is your hype girl! I love their willingness to go with the flow while still getting things done. Mia and Laron complement each other very well. They have different perspective from one another so when they put their heads together, there is more opportunity for creativity, visually stunning work and a unique experience. Highly recommend PKA for any event.

Hi there! I'm Khoa, a San Diego based wedding photographer who enjoys spending time with good people and road trips. I love all things weddings because witnessing couples' happiness brings me joy and fuels my creativity. I want to create photographs that can stand the test of time so couples can relive their day years from now and for generations to come.

Khoa was our wedding photographer from getting ready until the end of the night and we had an amazing experience with him the entire time! He is incredibly sweet and easy to work with, and made us feel very comfortable from the get-go. He was very thoughtful and thorough in using all aspects of our venue to provide amazing photos capturing the whole day. He worked very efficiently with us leading up to the ceremony to get us photos while still keeping us hidden away from our arriving guests, and then, during the ceremony and reception, he was amazingly unobtrusive but still able to capture all the great moments of our night! Khoa sent us a few preliminary photos which were all so perfect for personalizing our thank you cards. Once we got the full complement of photos from him we were blown away by the quality, editing, and energy he was able to capture from our wedding day. He is immensely generous with the number of photos he provides, and we have to stress that he somehow manages to deliver on both quantity AND quality. He is also very talented in composition and there were more than several photos that we never noticed him getting - everything perfectly captured the energy and feeling of the day and felt like we were reliving it again. Overall he feels like the complete package and we recommend him without hesitation!!!

Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or a cliffside elopement just the two of you, my goal is to create a relaxed, welcoming space focused on the unique, ordinary details that make your connection yours. If that’s what you’re looking for, then I would truly love nothing more than to hear from you!

As people who aren't super comfortable taking photos to begin with, this whole process was a bit out of our comfort zone, but Brittany made the experience super enjoyable, comfortable, and fun which we really appreciated! She got to know us as a couple and did not ask us to do any overly posed shots which we loved. Plus we got our full gallery within a couple weeks!

I’m here to capture nostalgic memories and help you remember the emotions behind the photos. I love capturing those truly candid moments.

I'm constantly exploring with laid-back couples that want to capture genuine moments about their relationship. When I'm not taking pictures, you can usually find me hanging out with my loved ones, hiking, watching sitcoms, or taking a spontaneous trip.

Emily was truly a dream to work with during our engagement session. From brainstorming photo locations to fit with the theme of our wedding, to outfit inspiration, to timing to utilize the best lighting... she was on top of it all. We were blown away by the quality of our photos, both on film and digital. We had such variety of photos to choose from (settings, poses, lighting, angles) etc. One of our biggest insecurities was looking comfortable in front of the camera and not too "posed". Emily was wonderful a guiding us behind the camera and giving us prompts to make the photos feel natural and genuine. I cannot recommend her enough! Plus, we wanted to incorporate our new puppy into the photoshoot and Emily gave us all the tips and guidance to make sure that went smoothly! The extra photos with the pup are just perfect!

She captured our wedding day so beautifully…every emotion, every moment, and all the little details we might have missed in the chaos of the day. I’m so obsessed with her flat lays and how she incorporated our special keepsakes. I had mentioned wanting my colors to really pop, and she captured them perfectly! Her eye for detail is incredible, and she somehow managed to make every photo feel natural yet timeless. The turnaround time was so quick… we received a sneak peek soon after the wedding, which made us even more excited for the full gallery. Kayla also brought along a second shooter who was just as wonderful, and together they didn’t miss a single moment. We’re beyond grateful to have these photos to look back on forever. I couldn’t recommend Kayla enough to any couple looking for someone who not only takes beautiful photos but also brings such warmth and joy to their day.

My inspiration comes from my time spent in stunning landscapes, from the sea to the mountains. I love capturing photos with natural light and specialize in elopements and microweddings with 30 guests or fewer. I have a decade of photography experience with a communications and film degree from The University of Texas at Austin. I enjoy working with couples that love the great outdoors. I am currently based in Southern California, around the San Diego area, but I am available to travel across the country for weddings.

As the Mother of the Bride, i cannot say enough about Helen, our wedding photographer. When my daughter and her husband researched photographers, they were drawn to Helen's photos and her editing skills. And the fact that she was competitively but reasonably priced was a plus. During the planning process she was very accessible, and answered emails with complete and clear information. She is a warm and friendly person, but at the same time very professional. She had several virtual meetings with the bride and groom, and took care of every detail so that by the big day, we knew what to expect. During the wedding and reception, Helen was there to get the best shots without ever being in anyone's way. She emailed some beautiful shots after a few days, and then it only took three weeks to get the entire portfolio sent back to us! The newlyweds are absolutely in love with their photos. These pictures captured feelings and emotions, as well as wonderful visions of a perfect day. The wedding was at TImberline/Mt. Hood, and since Helen is a master of nature photography, the end result was perfect. I cannot recommend Anchor and Pine Collective enough!

I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer specializing in natural, warm, true-to-life photography. My business isn't just about photos, it's about people. It's not about transactions, it's about relationships. And it's not about one day, it's about a lifetime. At my core, I believe no moment is too mundane to capture, no day too average to celebrate. Hiring a photographer is an investment for you, sure, but it is also a gift to the generations that follow. Photographs are heirlooms, memories, and your visual legacy. I can't wait to connect with you and tell your story.

I would recommend Katie a million times if I could! She is professional and personable. She is captures the important moments and details when shooting weddings and engagement sessions.

Chasing Light Photo & Film 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Spring Valley, CA

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!

Hey there! I'm Linda. San Diego wedding and portrait photographer. I've been photographing weddings for 8 years and have loved every minute of it. I'd love to chat with you and share how I can help you get the best possible images on your special day while giving you a great experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are beyond thrilled that we chose Linda as our photographer for our intimate ceremony! From the very first conversation, she made everything feel so personal and special. She answered every question we had and guided us through the entire process with such care. It honestly felt like she was part of our day, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Linda’s professionalism was incredible. She knew exactly where to position us for the best shots and how to make us feel at ease in front of the camera. We completely trusted her, and the results speak for themselves — the photos are absolutely stunning! What sets Linda apart, though, is how warm, friendly, and easy-going she is. It was like having a friend there with us. We are so in love with the photos she captured — they’re just perfect. If I could offer one small suggestion (though it’s really not a critique of Linda), it would be to have someone there to help with the dress — adjusting it and making sure everything stays just right. Overall, Linda truly exceeded our expectations in every way. We’re beyond grateful for her and so happy we chose her to document such a special day!
