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.

Every wedding is unique, and the team at Chasing Light | Photo & Video believes the experience should reflect that.

    So great to work with!

    We couldn't have asked for better photographers than Russ and Clara from Chasing Light Photo & Film. From start to finish, they were easygoing and genuinely invested in capturing our special day. Beyond just taking pictures, Russ helped with little things like bustling my dress before the reception and even moved guests around so we could do our first look without any stress. You can tell they're passionate about their work and will go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. Their photos are stunning, and their talent is clear in every single shot. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for photographers who truly care about their job.

    Absolutely a dream to work with!

    Russ and Clara were amazing to work with and I would 100% recommend them! We had an Albanian bridal shower and the wedding day where we needed photos and video done and they made it happen. They also did our engagement photos and I could not be more grateful for all our beautiful photos and videos. We have family and friends from all different ethnicities and races and every single photo they took was perfect! The raw images they took and showed us on the day of were amazing so we knew the edits were going to be so beautiful! Where I found myself rushing, they calmed me down and made sure I stayed present. They also always made sure we got every photo we wanted before moving onto the next section of the bridal party photos. Overall just the best!

    Good Experience

    Choosing Chasing Light Photography was the easiest decision we made for our wedding. Russ and Clara are incredibly talented and so kind. Our engagement session completely prepared us for the big day, making us feel natural in front of the camera. On the wedding day, they kept everything moving smoothly without making us feel rushed. They looked out for me the whole time, helping with my dress train and veil details. They were also so thoughtful with our older family members who needed a bit of extra assistance. The high-quality photos and beautiful highlight video are things we will cherish forever.

    Good Work

    Everything worked out wonderful! All the photos and videos capture every precious moment and they will last a lifetime. The photos are edited in a timeless fashion and are gorgeous. They also took our engagement photos free of charge and we really like those. We loved that we get the rawedited photos and video which makes it easy to make amateur edits for IG reels and YouTube. Overall it was a great experience and they delivered tremendous value for the price.*

    Best photographer & videographer

    Chasing Light is a MUST! From the day I got engaged I was on the hunt for the best photographer & videographer. I read through a bunch of reviews and talked with a few, but I knew Russ & Clara were who we wanted to work with. From the initial phone call with Russ, he was professional, honest, and had great energy. Before committing to a vendor, he gave me insight on what to look for/ ask before booking and signing contacts. We initially chose a photo only wedding package, but after our incredible engagement photoshoot, we booked them for video the day of and a photographer for our rehearsal dinner. (Rehearsal dinner photos are a must!) When we met it felt like we already knew them, they made us feel relaxed and at ease. My husband hates photos, yet we ended up taking pictures in the ocean because we were having such a fun time. We got our photos/ video back quickly, & get to keep all the proofs! They were very responsive and answered all my random questions leading up to the day. I can go on and on but seriously, I had the most perfect day & so happy we decided to capture it all with Chasing Light!


Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. We have 6 Full-time shooters so this is not an issue.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
Yes we have video as well as content creators on staff.
We have a 7-14 day turnaround. We have an in house editor that does not use Ai or anything batch editing. Everything is individually edited.
