James Korin Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves El Cajon, CA

Hello Friends! I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Long Beach, CA. Weddings are my absolute favorite type of photography and I love hearing about my couples love stories. My commitment to you is to provide with the best images of your life and a feeling that we are going to be friends for awhile. I will walk you through the whole process from start to finish and I'll make sure you take the time to enjoy your special day.

James Korin Photography is WONDERFUL. If you want your wedding day or other special event to run smoothly, be fun, and to capture the important details, look no further. James Korin Photography was recommended to me by a friend whose sister used them for her wedding day. The quality of the photos are awesome. A lot of photos nowadays are super contrasted or look like a preset threw up on them, but James Korin photos are timeless and beautiful — not trendy preset photos. Our wedding photos are beautiful! Thank you!

Melissa Atle

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves El Cajon, CA

After 10 years and over 200 weddings, I know how to fold into a large group of people, how to be there and make it feel like I'm not. I've been documenting weddings for nearly a decade and I love it even more now than when I started. My work is candid, emotional, and comfortable. I love to infuse editorial and documentary moments into my galleries, but mostly I just love to be able to photograph moments as they unfold.

It’s been a year since our wedding and I still look at the photos Melissa captured of us on a daily basis. When we were going through the painstaking process of planning and budgeting for our wedding, photos were at the top of my list in terms of their importance. Enter Melissa—we met a year and a half before our wedding day when she took our engagement photos and it was basically love at first sight. We felt so incredibly comfortable with her almost immediately and by the end of our session, we were bantering and joking around like old friends. Flash forward to our wedding day—not only did Melissa take gorgeous photos of our ceremony, first look, reception, etc, but she was a support system and that is something that is truly invaluable on one of the biggest days of your life. I can’t recommend her more.

I highly recommend her to any couple looking for timeless, beautifully captured memories!

At Elizabeth Kane Photography, we’re not just photographers; we’re your personal storytellers. Our mission is to capture your day with an authentic blend of documentary and editorial styles, highlighting the raw emotions and timeless moments that make your story uniquely yours. From the softest whispers to the grandest celebrations, we’re here to ensure every detail reflects the essence of your love.

There are many things that can go wrong in your wedding, but I can wholeheartedly say that choosing Elizabeth Kane Photography was one thing that was absolutely the BEST CHOICE we made for our Disney wedding! From beginning to end, Elizabeth was not only working as our photographer but was also making sure we developed a friendship to further build trust that we were in amazing hands. She traveled all the way from California to Orlando for our wedding and even went above and beyond her "behind the lens" duty to help with other areas of our wedding day! Honestly, long story short, words cannot describe how grateful we were (still are) that we chose Elizabeth for our wedding day. It was seriously the best day ever and she captured everything so perfectly; now, we'll have it all beautifully captured forever.

  • Serves El Cajon, CA

My superpower is the way I connect with your vision. I see you guys on the best day of your lives. I see how well you two fit together, how in love you are, how perfect it all looks. And then I use my camera to make sure that’s exactly how you look in your photos. As someone who grew up *hating* all photos of me, I'm ultra aware of that for others. I still cringe a little when I think about having my photo taken, but I’ve found that it’s always easier when a friend is there to keep me laughing. My sense of humor (and obsession with bad puns) is the perfect way to break the ice for effortless, fun photos that help you feel your best!

Sienna Plus Josh

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves El Cajon, CA

We are Sienna plus Josh, adventure elopement photographers [who also eloped!] in 2011 and we have been shooting weddings and adventuring ever since. We are here to help you navigate the path of forging your OWN path. Going the adventure elopement route is intimate, authentic, and empowering...with a day that is truly reflective of your relationship and defines the two of you! One of the best things about eloping is that you get to throw away the rule book and write your own. Whether that is spending your wedding day on a mountaintop in Oregon, among the waterfalls in Iceland, or the warm desert of California.

I have been lucky to style a few elopements Sienna Plus Josh have photographed. They are so kind and professional, always putting their nervous clients at ease- in the end creating an incredible gallery. Their work speaks for itself, but as someone who has met them personally they are a joy to hang out with as well.

Hello! My name is Katya! I am thrilled you are interested in choosing me to document your special day! I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who inspires you, and someone who eases wedding day jitters. And, hopefully someone who eventually becomes a friend. I'm excited to give you a little tour so you can learn more about me - the process of working together - and my wedding collections!

Katya was so amazing to work with! She was so efficient, kind, and took gorgeous photos! The spot she took us in Farragut had a beautiful background and was perfect! The photos turned out so beautiful and were everything we were hoping for! I got married at a church, and so the lighting was difficult, but Katya still managed to take great photos inside as well! Thank you Katya, for doing such a wonderful job!

Hi, I'm Jessica! I’m a documentary wedding photographer with a passion for fine art and film photography. With six years of experience, I specialize in capturing genuine, heartfelt moments throughout a wedding. I aim to work unobtrusively, preserving the best moments without disrupting your day. And my goal is simple: I want you to enjoy your celebration - just be yourselves, and I'll create a natural, visual narrative of your love story.

Jessica did a truly amazing job as our wedding photographer! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a crisp, clean editing style, lots of candids, and fun posed shots. I was surprised that she was one of the least expensive quotes I got from wedding photographers (even including a second shooter) because her wedding portfolio was so beautiful. You will not regret booking, I promise.

We're both a little goofy, love to dance, adore all fur babies, and will love you forever if you buy us tacos. We are best friends who get to work together which is really great. We started photographing weddings 11 years ago and are truly grateful that our work has filled our lives with so many incredible people. If you were to ask us what we love most about being wedding photographers we would tell you, it's the people, hands down! Experiencing and documenting the love and joy between couples and their families and friends is the best job ever.

We are SO happy with our decision to have Briana shoot our wedding! We booked them back in 2018 and they did our engagement shoot in 2019. Bria was great about communicating and getting to know us prior to our shoot date! It truly felt like we were just hanging out with an old friend. Fast forward to 2020 when we learned our wedding would have to be cancelled due to COVID. Again, Bria was wonderful in her communication and we were able to shift gears and turn our would be wedding into an elopement shoot. Bria and Andrew are going to continue with us in our journey as we throw our big bash in 2022! Our photographs are absolutely STUNNING. Her style is very candid -- doesn't feel too pose-y. We got so many great shots at both of our events. She also works with GREAT local businesses for prints. We are absolutely in love with our gallery wall and our albums. Such high quality. Briana Morrison Photography is worth every penny and then some!

Brandon Toma Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves El Cajon, CA

I first fell in love with photography more than 20 years while working for my high school yearbook. After that, I pursued photography as a hobby while I studied Electrical Engineering, but in 2014 I decided that I still wanted to do something more meaningful. So started to pursue wedding photography by working for my friends company as a 2nd shooter. After gaining a lot of experience and 40 weddings later in 2015 I launched my own business and have be loving it ever since.

Brandon is truly the greatest photographer ever!! He came well recommended by one of our friends and we loved his work. We researched and interviewed many other photographers but we chose Brandon and couldn’t have been happier!! We had a few meetings with Brandon on the type of photos (poses, editing, lighting, etc) we wanted and he delivered on everything! Whenever we see our photos we’re always in shock! We can’t believe how good we look and how perfect everyone else looks! Brandon is truly an artist who captures the absolute perfect moment that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Weddings can be stressful and the last thing you want to worry about are photos and I can honestly say I never had to worry about Brandon. He’s very communicative, does everything in a very timely manner, and is super thorough. More importantly Brandon is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met and he truly wants to give you the wedding of your dreams. Simply talking to him puts your stress and heart at ease and we couldn’t have been happier with Brandon and his work! We highly recommend him and he’s the absolute best!!!

Kiernan Michelle Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,950
  • Serves El Cajon, CA

My favorite part about what I do is working with all of the great couples I get to meet. I love getting to know my clients and discovering what is most important to them about their wedding day. Each and every wedding is different and each deserves a unique approach to capture thoughtfully. It is exciting that I get to see into so many different little worlds every day. My motto is to do everything in love, and I feel like that is reflected in my work and attention to detail. Also, its great getting to be around happy people all day!

On your wedding day things go by so quickly and it can be difficult to think back on specific moments or individual details. So, I can't overstress the importance of getting great photos that capture things as they were, rather than just an exciting blur of color and familiar happy faces that your memory will likely be left with. Keeping that in mind, the photographer you choose and trust with such an integral part of your wedding day has to be someone you have full confidence in and, wholeheartedly, I can say that Kiernan meets and exceeds all the expectations of what makes an incredible wedding photographer. She was able to make my (now) husband and I feel relaxed, while also offering VERY helpful and necessary directions of how to pose (down to the way to tilt our head, where to look, where our hands should be, etc) and that was so appreciated! It made me feel so much more confident to know that if something needed to be changed or corrected in order to get the best photo possible, she would notice it and then she’d let us know what we need to do to get that shot. Then, after the wedding, when my husband and I received our sneak peek photos, (which were sent so quickly that we got them while we were still in our post-wedding hotel suite) and we were blown away by how beautiful they turned out. There were so many amazing shots that I loved, I couldn’t pick a favorite... I had at least 10-15 top favorites. To wrap it up, Kiernan is an insanely talented photographer, a true professional and just an overall sweet, lovely person. If you are getting married soon and are looking for a photographer that will be able to deliver photos you will cherish forever AND who will make you feel comfortable and confident while the photos are being taken... I highly recommend Kiernan Michelle Photography, as I sincerely believe she is the best you will find... I know she was for me!

These candid photos will live in your memories. In a time where moments are fleeting, our goal is to go beyond just a “photo”, but the story and emotion behind each frame. Documenting belly laugh, kiss and small glance is a story waiting to be told.

Bridgette is the most incredible photographer around. Not only is she insanely talented, she also brought a calmness to the whole day. She has such a great knowledge of wedding day timelines and acted as our wedding planner in helping us structure our day efficiently where we could take a lot of photos but also have so much time with each other and our guests. Our venue was not traditional and required a lot of moving around. Bridgette took it all in stride and helped direct us to stay on track! And her photos!! She captures incredible genuine images and has such great attention to detail. We look at our photos daily and love every one of them!

(She even helped fill some gaps in our day that we didn't even think about). After booking, her communication was outstanding, not only with her consistent follow ups, but she was able to really vibe with us. Day of, we felt really comfortable with her taking our photos. Our guests commented on how professional, friendly, and helpful she was. At the end of the experience, it felt like a friend was taking our photos and not someone we just met on Zola.

Wild Irish Rose Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves El Cajon, CA

I run on shenanigans, sassiness, and an obscene amount of coffee. And I grew up in the mountains so that makes me a wildflower at heart and a mountain girl through and through. When we meet be prepared for me to crack jokes, laugh loudly, gesture wildly, and run full sprint towards something I think is pretty (while trying not to die). I believe in embracing life with a whole lot of weirdness, far too much smart-aleck humor, and every single ounce of fierce passion, obsessive gratitude, profound inspiration, and reckless joy that I can forcefully wring out of this adventure called life. So that's me.

Writing a review for Kristin is really hard because there are so many good things to talk about. When I started looking for a photographer, I became quickly discouraged when looking at so many websites but found they weren't easy to navigate or find information on. When I found Kristin's, I immediately felt enlivened and excited because first off, her website had so much information and was so easy to use. The more I explored, the more I was impressed by her organization, information provided, galleries uploaded, and how she presented herself. She was the first and only photographer I showed my fiancé and then immediately booked a consultation with. On our first call, we were immediately struck by how comfortable she made us feel and excited about taking photos as neither of us knew what to expect. We went in to the appointment expecting no availability and/or to not be able to afford her with our budget. We were blown away that she was free on our date and that our budget would work. The follow-up email was so helpful as it featured different galleries to showcase the options of packages we talked about of time length. Her packages are so easy to work through and so customizable, we were just amazed at the ease of it! She made the engagement photo session so easy to laugh in and get to know her and the location she picked was amazing. We're both awkward people in front of the camera and she made it so easy to be ourselves. I love her spontaneity to just say, "here's a great spot, let's try this!" She was conscientious to ask about our level of PDA that we were comfortable with and suggested great poses. It didn't even feel like we had someone taking photos of us! As the wedding got closer, her emails provided great resources for me to make a timeline and photo list. She was so gracious when we explained family complications and helped create a photo order for how to navigate that. I honestly felt so cared for and prepared by her in how easily reachable she was, the information provided in emails, and in her thoughtful responses. We had her do rehearsal coverage and we're so thankful we did so that the lightning was adjusted the night before so that it didn't have to be done the day of. The photos of just us and our out-of-town guests and family are priceless. On our wedding day, she was an anchor. She so thoughtfully brought fancy hangers for my dress, extra cloth for detail shots, ring boxes, and you name it, she had it. Despite a million questions, she and the second shooter kept everyone calm and were so gracious even when part of their lunch didn't show up (forever mortified by that.) My getting ready photos/first look with my family are some that I'll treasure as some of my favorites because of the emotion captured. She and her second shooter also got us AHEAD of schedule after the ceremony despite playing having to play catch up. Our private couple's session was so easy to enjoy time together and forget that she was there. Her spontaneity and creative eye found amazing locations on site that created the most amazing photos. The reception photos capture the life and joy that made it such a fun time. We managed to almost run her over during our first dance, but she reacted with such grace that it wasn't noticed by our guests. The sneak peaks were incredible and we were shocked that we got them the next day! They were so special and made us even more eager to see them all. All that said, I can't recommend Kristin enough!

Your photos should do more than simply capture a moment. They should spark memories of how it felt. The laughter, the tears, the warmth of a shared embrace, and the electric energy of moments too extraordinary to put into words. Years from now, I want you to hold these images and be transported back: to the sound of joy, the glow of love, and the memories you never want to fade.

Where do I even start!! Rachael was absolutely amazing to work with! We had the pleasure of taking our first family photos with Rachael Hulse Photography & we couldn't be happier! Having a 5&1/2 month old, we were very nervous to see how it would go, but Rachael went above and beyond to make it such a memorable and fun experience for us. She worked amazing with our baby girl & even sang along with us to "twinkle twinkle little star" to get her playful and smiling! Photos can always feel a little nerve wracking, but Rachael eased our minds right away with how calm and professional she was. She put us into so many great poses and we are obsessed with every photo she delivered. I highly recommend her & we already can't wait to book with her again! Thank you so much Rachael!
