Nancy is an incredibly talented photographer and an even more amazing person to work with! From the moment we first spoke with her during our consultation, she inspired so much confidence in us with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine excitement for capturing our story. She made us feel so welcomed and at ease, which carried through to our engagement shoot and, ultimately, our wedding day. Nancy is not only a true artist behind the camera but also someone who genuinely listens to your dreams and brings them to life. She was eager to incorporate every wedding shot our hearts and souls desired, and the results were beyond anything we could have imagined. She went above and beyond, exceeding every expectation and leaving us with photos we will treasure forever. I’ve been raving to my friends and family about Nancy’s talent ever since the wedding! Her ability to capture both the raw emotion and little details of the day is unmatched, and she makes the entire process so joyful and stress-free. If you’re looking for a photographer who is easy to be around, makes you feel comfortable and confident, and creates stunning work, Nancy is "THE ONE". We are so grateful for her and will cherish her photos for a lifetime!

Artistic Pro Photography and Videography

We are excellent and experienced photographer and videographer for weddings and engagements. I have been a lifetime photography hobbyist since I was a teenager. I enjoy taking pictures and playing around with different advanced equipment. I am confident that my work is just as good or even better than what you paid $3000 for the most professional photographer for a wedding. I am using a top-notch full frame Nikon DSLR camera with top notch Nikon lenses. I also have a Sony 4K camcorder that can record excellent 4K videos. Therefore, we can be your excellent videographer too for your wedding or party.

Wellington is 5 stars, no doubt. My husband and I had a hard time committing at first because choosing a photographer is a huge decision. That, and it always seems expensive at 3,000 and up (remember, most of their time is truly spent planning and editing, not just being there day of). We need to pay most of our wedding ourselves. That is why we hold off our photographer selection until just 2 months before our wedding. After much research and requested quotes from about 30 photographers. We found Artistic Pro Photography and Wellington to be within our budget and actually below our budget. We were both skeptical at first, so we took the engagement session first. Wellington took us to a resort just 3 days after our request. The resort is beautiful with a duck pond and a beach. We had a fun time posing for him. He asked us to do multiple poses at the resort. The photos came out fabulously. We love his many poses. I showed off the photos to my friends and my parents. They all love them. I then booked them for our wedding. We were happy with his flexibility and ability from start to finish - everything from putting a photo/video package together, to understanding what we wanted, to wedding timeline feedback, to their unobtrusive and seamless participation day of. He took our photos, and his wife took our videos. We enjoyed the attention to detail they had. They got nearly every moment we asked for. They delivered in the number and quality of photos. The video also came out well and very sharp at 4K. One of our biggest joys was that we didn't even have to wait to see the images - we got the photos just 2 days after our wedding! We would 100% recommend Wellington and Sarah. Their price is also 5 stars. You cannot find such a good deal.

Sandra Yvette Photography

TOMORROW ISN’T PROMISED TO ANYONE, SO IT’S UP TO YOU TO DOCUMENT YOUR TODAY. YOUR RIGHT NOW. YOUR LIFE. Everybody has a story and I’m fascinated to learn yours. I come from a close knit family of 7, grew up in Sacramento, CA, and now have a super supportive husband while raising 2 fun, spunky children in San Diego, CA that mean the world to me. I believe that FAMILY IS EVERYTHING. I promise to capture the details, but most importantly, the people and moments that surround you on your wedding day.

We got married in Spring of 2021 and this review is LONG overdue! Sandra and her husband Fernando were amazing to work with! I still look back and think about how easy it was to be around them and feel comfortable. They were recommended by our wedding planner. Their videography skills were top notch and we loved our classic long and sneak peek short films. I am forever grateful for their talent and guidance throughout the wedding day festivities, constantly keeping everything in order to capture the best moments. And their wonderful personalities were a joy to be around! Sandra has that artistic eye and somehow kept things light by making us laugh a lot:) She also communicated well giving us updates on when to expect the videos. Thank you for everything!! I highly recommend Sandra Yvette Photography to anyone looking for those raw, natural moments on such a special day.

Paige Nelson Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Carlsbad, CA

Paige is a California wedding and portrait photographer, specializing in romantic wedding days for couples who value art and intentionality in their planning and imagery. Based in San Diego, but available for destinations worldwide.

When we came across Paige's work on the internet, we just knew that we wanted her to be our photographer for our wedding. Her eye is so great and she does what few photographers can, capture the emotion present with her lens. Our wedding was supposed to be a very large, 2 day affair. Then covid decided to put the kibosh on it all and our wedding turned out to be the 2 of us, an officiant and Paige. She beautifully rolled with the punches during this time and elegantly communicated with us and gave us wonderful client service in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. She is a true class act. We ended up shooting 2 different days in 2 different cities, both indoor and outdoor and even next to the Palm Springs windmills in 60 mph wind gusts! Paige was a true trouper and had all the right gear for every occasion. My (now) husband and I previously didn't really like the way we looked in photos hardly ever and were a bit concerned. We expressed this to Paige. The photos that we got back from her blew our minds. We loved all of them! It was so hard to narrow it down to show people! She not only captured light beautifully and has a wonderful eye for detail but she truly captured our love through her lens and made us feel beautiful. To top all of that off, she is an amazing human as well. Paige is a joy to work with and a brilliant photographer. I highly recommend working with her for any occasion.

Oury Memories

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Carlsbad, CA

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Booking Grace and Oury Memories just three and a half weeks before our wedding was a stroke of luck! From our first meeting to the wedding day, Grace's professionalism and warmth shone through. She effortlessly directed us and our families during wedding sessions, ensuring every shot was perfect. I'm sure that Grace's creative ideas for poses will add a unique touch to our album, capturing the essence of our love story beautifully. We look forward to seeing her photos in about 8 weeks. Her calm presence on the day put us at ease. Grace is not just a talented photographer; she's a joy to work with. Thank you, Grace, for immortalizing our special day so beautifully!
