Ella Truelove Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Descanso, CA

Inspiration for my photography is rooted in my passion for nature, sunshine and capturing special moments in people’s lives. I focus on events such as weddings, engagements, proposals, portraits, and family sessions. I’ve been fortunate to call San Diego home and thankful I get to work with some wonderful clients, vendors and venues around Southern California. I’m excited to hear from you and create some beautiful images together!

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding and engagement photographer than Ella! She is so warm and friendly, which made us immediately feel comfortable and at our best. I was worried that I would feel awkward or my smile would be forced, but Ella totally put us at ease, encouraged us, and reassured us that our photos were beautiful. She is very open and excited about the client’s ideas and will give you several options while making professional recommendations, which was so helpful to us. During our wedding, she managed to remember all the specific details and requests we gave her, make everyone feel comfortable, get a huge variety of shots, and let us enjoy our day without being pushy or intrusive (like we have seen at other weddings). She has an amazing eye for lighting, composition and how to position people in a way that will look natural in the photo. We got married almost two years ago and we still have frequent conversations with our guests about how great of a job Ella did. We highly recommend her anytime you need a photographer!

Welcome! My name is Maisie but I also so by my nickname, Maze! I am a professional photographer based in San Diego, California! I have been in the wedding industry for 6+ years now - I am so proud of the work I create and the connections I form. To ensure I perform at my best, I only take on around 12 weddings a year. I truly cannot wait to meet you and answer any questions you may have.

I wanted to gatekeep cause she's the best photographer in San Diego and I don't want her to get too busy for me. LOL jk but Maze is seriously a pro yet she is so personable and she felt like an extra bridesmaid, coordinator, and friend on my wedding day vs just another wedding vendor. No one could figure out how to bustle my dress but maze stepped in and literalllyyyy saved my dress. She also fixed my eyelashes when my glue was coming off and made sure my hair was perfect in the photos. A woman of MANY talents! I will forever cherish our photos. As usual they turned out amazing and I could not picked a better photographer to capture our day. I am eternally grateful for you!

Shaun Baker is San Diego’s Premier Wedding Photographer. Shaun grew up studying film/television and the art of story telling. “I love people and I am fascinated by the way we interact. I love the stories that each of us carry around. That’s what makes us all great. I have a need to capture the individuals raw emotions and give it back in a beautiful way. “When the camera is in my hand, normalcy is the furthest thing from my mind. It is normal for me to be in a tree, on a rooftop, or laying on the ground during a wedding so I am always in the best position to get the most creative shot possible. I'm always striving to exceed expectations.

Colman McVaney Photography

I was raised in Denver, Colorado. For most of my life, I took for granted the beautiful, jagged landscapes of the Rocky Mountains. It was not until I moved to Africa for a ministry internship after I graduated high school that I started to admire the beauty that constantly surrounded me. This also was when I got my first camera. I took photos to remember my experiences in Africa. This is when I fell in love with the art form. Photography opened my eyes to the beauty that surrounded me everywhere I went. I quickly learned that every person, place, and thing has a good side— you just have to find it.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Colman. He has experience and has great pose ideas which was great because we didn’t really know what we wanted. He’s super easy to work with and some of my favorite photos were his more creative ones. He also did our engagement shoot and we loved everything. I would 100% recommend him for your wedding or other event.

Wildly Free Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Descanso, CA

I believe that every love story is the best story, and I am passionate about telling those stories through photography. My goal during every session is to create such a fun experience that my clients relax into each other and open up in their natural state. I see people as radiant, inside and out, especially when in their relaxed and happy states. My goal is always to deliver not just a service, but an experience that lets my couples see and feel how extraordinary they truly are.

Miranda was referred to us by good friends of ours. I saw their engagement shoot pictures and they were all amazing. Miranda has the ability to make even the most akward/camera shy (aka me) feel so comfortable and have it not translate in the photos. She has a great editing style, I didn't want to overly bright washed out look. Our pictures were rich with color, and just moody enough. After our engagement shoot and being very happy with the photos we booked Miranda for our wedding. Fast forward to March 2021 and our original venue extending their closure, we ended up re-planning our wedding in 3 weeks. Miranda was kind enough to create a special package to accommodate our short micro wedding. All of our pictures turned out amazing! Highly recommend Miranda for any photography needs.

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.

Fueled by equal parts caffeine and passion, I spend my days capturing images that make you stop, smile and wish that time would slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in photographs you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the back patio. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

We wish we could give Cate 10 stars - she is seriously a ROCKSTAR talent! She seamlessly captured everyone's personality, and let us just live in our special day. We loved watching her get excited about awesome shots, and truly enjoying what she does. In addition to being an incredible professional, she's also a BLAST to have around, has all the positive energy, is an organizational master, and was a big source of calm in the midst of a crazy day. Our photos were extremely important to us, as the majority of our guests traveled from our of town and we had tons of special moments and memories we wanted to capture. We are absolutely thrilled with how they turned out - cannot recommend her enough!

Genuine, adventurous, emotion filled images. From oceanside to mountain top, from winery to backyard, from urban to countryside- we create timeless and beautiful images that are not only memories of your day, but also pieces of art for you to cherish.

Madison was such an amazing photographer but that only tells a part of the story. From the moment we contacted her through all the way past our wedding day, she was the best decision we made. Not only does Madison have such a calming presence, but she is full of great ideas and so comfortable to be around. We did our engagement photos and knew from the first moment, that we wanted her for our wedding as well. She was also willing to share ideas and ask questions and put us at so much ease. We were new to this process and she helped so much. Our photos came out so beautiful and could not be happier. Book her now!!!

I'm thrilled you're here and planning one of the biggest days of your lives! I've had the privilege of capturing weddings at some of the most beautiful venues San Diego has to offer. Whether you're planning your big day at a beach resort, a winery, or even the zoo, you can count on me to capture both stunning portraits and raw candid moments of you and your loved ones on your wedding day. My style uses natural light and vivid colors, while keeping skin tones rich and true to life. I also love to emphasize storytelling with a few black and whites for an overall feel that is magically timeless yet still modern.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to begin to start singing Alyssa’s praises other than to say, hire her immediately if not sooner! My partner and I got married at Stone Brewing Liberty Station in May 2023, and Alyssa captured the day (and more) so beautifully and in a way that truly captured us. We looked through a lot of photographers recommended by our venue and others, and none of their work really stood out to us until we saw Alyssa’s photos. Her photography is truly stunning and exudes warmth and depth. We wanted someone who could capture us, not make things feel overly forced, and emphasize candid moments. Alyssa did that and more. From the moment we reached out to her to the end of the evening at our wedding, she was a true gem to work with. We even ended up doing an engagement session with her, as it was part of her package, and an opportunity to meet. She took time to get to know us, helped make sure we felt comfortable, thought through timelines with our other vendors, made wonderful suggestions that helped make the photos (and day) even more memorable, and truly was all around such a joy to work with. Lastly, multiple friends and family members came up to us throughout our wedding and said how they could truly feel so much love and warmth in the air. Alyssa’s photos captured that feeling for a lifetime.

Freshly landed from Paris, France. Christophe has been a travel photographer for the past ten years and decided to expand his creative horizons toward white dresses and bow ties here in California. His European touch will definitely bring something special to your wedding day.

Due to COVID, our wedding was postponed twice and ultimately cancelled. During each postponement, Willmus Weddings was still able to work with us. Ultimately the wedding was cancelled last minute due to the current restrictions and the fact that we were moving out of state in the next few months. The USS Midway was able to accommodate us to take the photos on the ship and even provided a beautiful intimate ceremony on the ship. Christophe and his videographer were there to capture this absolutely spectacular day. His professionalism along with his AMAZING talent could never go unnoticed. Thank you Christophe for helping create and capture the best memories and day of our lives! We are so grateful and thankful for you!!!

I love the love!! I am a hopeful romantic! I channel that when shooting weddings, elopements and engagement shoots. I look for the small gestures between you two while you interact, the way you look at one another in utter comfort and confidence, the way you laugh and crack each other up! I love observing how couples embrace and find each other's nooks. This is your person, the one that you can be your complete self with, how cool is that! It sounds corny, but being a wedding and elopement photographer really is a privilege.

Melissa did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos! She is so talented at finding great shots, working with the lighting, and keeping things fun! She was extremely easy to work with, and so flexible when changes happened. She also made sure to check out locations in advance which helped a lot in saving time on the day. She is great at keeping timelines and fitting everything in... and made sure we got photos with everyone there. The pictures came out so beautiful!!! It’s absolutely worth hiring the right photographer because the day goes by so fast, but pictures last forever! We will cherish our wedding and engagement photos for years to come. Thanks for making it such a special and memorable time for us. We highly recommend Melissa!

I fell in love with photography in high school and studied photojournalism in college. Before my wedding photography days, I honed my craft taking portraits – and chasing down breaking news stories for newspapers in my home state of Texas. I’m still a photojournalist at heart; telling your story is the soul of my work. I spend my free time outdoors as much as possible: hiking in the Laguna Mountains, camping in Joshua Tree, swimming at La Jolla Cove, sailing to Catalina Island.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick has been just fantastic to work with. We had met with him back in the summer of 2019 to discuss and had planned for our wedding for May 2020. Of course we had to pivot and change plans due to COVID, which unfortunately included pushing the date to August (who knew COVID would linger on for so long...). He has been nothing but flexible and understanding throughout the whole process. Working with him on the day of the wedding was seamless - he is a true professional who clearly knows what he is doing. Neither I nor my husband (!!) are too comfortable in front of the camera, but the direction and guidance Nick provided for us made the whole photo-taking experience so much easier and fun! We were also expecting our photos months after our wedding, but they arrived extremely fast! The quality of the photos is just as praise-worthy as Nick's professionalism. The photos are absolutely fantastic and are just perfect. We could not have picked a better photographer to capture this special day for us. 11/10 Recommend!!! If you are reading this and you pick another photographer - YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!

We absolutely loved working with Erin! We was responsive and on top of things from the beginning. She had such a great attitude and energy, which really eased a lot of our uncomfortable-ness of being in front of a camera. For our engagement photos, she spent a lot of time scouting out the best locations at our venue to ensure we got some really beautiful photos. Which of course we did! For the wedding, she made sure to get every single specific photo I told her was important to me. Even ones I had forgotten about in the moment. I was truly grateful for how patient she was the day of and how organized she was. We’ve only gotten our sneak peek photos but so far but they are incredible! She is so talented and has such a beautiful eye for photography! Book Erin!

I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

Awarded Best of Zola
I'm going to break this down as simply as possible...... Melissa is a dream come true. She is everything you could ask for in a photographer and SO MUCH MORE. She's professional, kind,an excellent communicator, and has the best creative eye. But that's not all that makes Melissa great; she has the ability to make you feel comfortable. My husband is a shy, introverted kind of dude - the kind who'd rather do household chores than pose in front of a camera and smile - and Melissa has this nature about her that made him feel relaxed and at ease to catch our best moments. All of that is just touching a little bit on the SKILL Melissa has. Besides her exceptional talent, she is a joy to be around, Melissa brightens a room! You can't help but feel like your best self around her... it makes for some really wonderful digital lifetime memories. Can't say enough about what a treasure Melissa is. 10 out of 5 stars, easy.

I have been a photographer for 10+ years and a videographer for 5+ years. I started with shooting landscapes to portraits and have expanded to wedding photography + videography 3 years ago and it was the most. fulfilling. decision ever!!

Cristina was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! From start to finish she was hands on, very communicative and just a doll to work with. I was going back and forth on whether or not I could afford video for my wedding day. I went back and forth and finally did all the research and found Cristina since she was in my budget. It was weeks leading up to my wedding and I kept changing the length of time I would need Cristina and she was so very professional and sweet and very patient with me. Fast forward to the wedding day and Cristina was just as sweet in person and I was super excited that I decided yes on video. The night after my wedding I had my sneak peak already in my inbox…talk about FAST. Then two months went by and we had THE BEST video full of the best moments from our wedding day. People who didn’t attend the wedding that watched the video felt as if they were there. I can’t thank Cristina enough for capturing the best day of my life.

We had the pleasure of hiring the Ethereal team for our wedding last November 2022 & sooo happy we did! Alex & Makaela are the dream team to have. Months & weeks leading up to our wedding they were communicative and really making sure to get to know us and what certain shots we wanted and style of video we wanted to have. On our wedding day they made us feel very comfortable and really wanted to showcase what our day was really about. They were really thoughtful and worked hard to give us a beautiful video right in time before the holiday rush which really meant a lot to us. Even after our wedding, they have truly turned into our friends and have recommended them time and time again. If you’re hesitating, do not! Ethereal really worked with our budget so make sure to inquire first!! They will work with you! Again, thank you Ethereal for the best service ever!!!

Candid wedding photography means working with the elements, capturing the atmosphere, soul, life, love, and energy of the day. Your wedding story deserves to be told in a way that’s real and unguarded. Let your wedding photography define your day, and capture the connection between you and your loved ones, and tell your story in its truest form. Within those candid moments you'll be able to relive your wedding day 10, 20 and 30 years from now. Deep down most of us want more then just a pretty picture to look back on, but rather images that put the butterflies back in your stomach and make you feel like you are back in your dress again.

Teresa is AMAZING!! Our photos are absolutely beautiful! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her for our wedding. She is so talented, easy to work with, and captured our dream day so effortlessly.

Hello There! I'm Paige, San Diego Wedding Photographer, Adventure Enthusiast, and Your NEW BEST FRIEND! I am happily married to my Best Friend, Jeff, together we live in Sunny San Diego, California and we rescued the sweetest Pup you will ever see (We might be slightly biased!). We love to travel, camp, hike, and explore together. Does going to Disneyland count as traveling (When you have annual passes)?! In my spare time, I enjoy being cuddled up under a blanket, with a cup of tea, and a good book

Being amazing at your job is something everyone hopes for. Paige exceeds those expectations daily! Paige goes above and beyond what is expected for a photographer. She was and is so much more than the woman who took our photos on not only our wedding day but also our engagement pictures as well. Her work is absolutely flawless and she will do anything and everything to make sure your day is spotless! We have almost been married for a year now and I still am in shock as to how beautiful our photos are. Paige is the epitome of professional, she made sure we knew exactly what we were getting into from the very start, she talked us through everything and made sure we were absolutely comfortable with everything. I could sit here and write novels about how much I love her and the work she does but, Bottom line is hire Paige Hill for any photography need. You will NEVER regret your decision!

My name is Adrian Burlaza, I was first introduced into photography in 2008 when I took an intro black & white photo course. I instantly fell in love with taking images with my camera and seeing them come to life by my own hands (literally, in the dark room). From that point I committed myself to this craft of image-making and scoured the internet, learning everything from nerdy equipment specs to creative techniques.

I can’t speak highly enough of our experience with Adrian! His photos are stunning and he is so incredibly nice. My husband and I both feel a little awkward in front of the camera and Adrian gave great instructions and put us at ease. He also captured so many small sweet moments, and really got the feel of our ceremony across. He got our photos back to us super fast too, overall a really amazing experience!

Hello Darling! I'm so glad you're here! I'm Tara - the eye behind the lens in all the photos you see here. It's a privilege and an honor to get to do what I do. It is so much more than a job to me. Every photograph I take is a little pieces of my heart that I leave with every one of my couples. I'm committed to documenting the heirloom moments of your family legacy. I am a historian curating timeless moments for you to live over and over again. I see beauty in everyone and it is my joy and privilege to show my clients how beautiful they are. <3

If I have the option to work with Tara, that is who I will hire to second for me, without a doubt. I have literally flown her to locations where I didn't "have" to because she really is so lovely to work with. I know I don't need to manage Tara at all, she know how to get the photographs that the clients are dreaming of without being intrusive or overhearing. She is professional, and kind, and so fun to be around. I wish 2020 weddings were happening just so we could shoot together, dang it Corona.

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.

Hi, I'm Alexx! I grew up in San Diego and went to school in Malibu to study media production & math (I know, weird combo). Since then, I've lived in both Point Loma in SD and in West LA, so I'm always popping around all of SoCal! I absolutely adore weddings for the love, celebration, joy, and romance, so I want to make sure those are your main feelings throughout the day! What that means is I will always remain a calm presence in the chaos to help keep you grounded, but also blend into the background to give you space to just experience your day!

I don't even know where to begin. Alexx was hands down the best photographer we could have asked for. From the start she was supper communicative and within a day of inquiry, we had set up a time to chat and get acquainted. She is incredibly professional, but still super personable! We had so much fun with her at our engagement shoot, and the photos were INCREDIBLE. Her style is so organic and she makes you feel very comfortable from the start. She gave us so many tips leading up to the wedding about what to have ready for her and at what time, while still being super flexible with us if we needed to adapt. Day of with her was a breeze, too! She lead us through all of our photos and we wrapped up family photos quickly enough thanks to her that we were able to spend more time with our guests/family before the reception which was amazing! She had our previews to us within a few days and we are OBSESSED with every photo!! We cannot wait to see the full gallery :) Thank you so much for everything, Alexx!!!

Naiya Ross Photography is a wedding photography business operating out of Escondido, California. Previously working in photojournalism, I have a keen eye for capturing the candid moments of authentic emotion that reveal themselves throughout every once-in-a-lifetime celebration. I try to put passionate and creativity into every project that I take on, I strive to craft stress-free photography experiences and images that reflect each couple’s one-of-a-kind romantic bond.

As two introverts getting married, we needed a photographer that would make us feel at ease, forget we even had staff on our day of, but also had a good hand in dealing with guests who liked to get involved in the vendors' craft. Naiya's skillful and gorgeous photos speak for themselves. We really loved working with her not only for our engagement photo session, but also the day of!!! Due to some unforseen emergency family matters, our photos were a bit late. We wish she would have given a bit more proactive communication regarding this. However, the final product was worth the wait!
