Gleimlight Photography & Productions

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves La Mesa, CA

After 10 years of marriage, the memories from our special day have slowly faded. With weddings going by in a flash, it's nearly impossible to commit it all to memory and with time, it will fade. The work we do, the memories we capture will last you a lifetime. We know that decades from now you will be flipping through your photo album or watching your wedding video; overflowing with love and joy. Knowing this is what motivates us!

Awarded Best of Zola
We came across Gleimlight Photography during our wedding planning last year, and fell in love with their work. My now husband used to own his own production company and is big into film and photography, so, he had incredibly high standards and I was so excited we had found a photographer that met and exceeded our expectations! Working with Christina and Jake was effortless. 2020 was definitely a challenging year, and planning a wedding amongst the chaos was even more challenging, but, they went with the flow of our constantly changing plans (like changing up until the week of), and made what was an extremely stressful time in our lives that much easier. We're both camera shy, and they just made it easy and comfortable, and man oh man, our photos are breathtaking. Thank you, Christina and Jake, for sticking with us and your patience, for your professionalism, your can-do attitude, and for giving us such an amazing gift with our photos. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! It wasn't the wedding we originally planned, but, it was a beautiful day and we're so grateful you were there to capture it for us. xoxo H&C

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.

Absolutely LOVED our engagement photoshoot with Wellington. I didn’t know my fiancé and me could look so beautiful in the photos. He took some great romantic photos. He was very responsive, flexible, and knew how to make my fiancé and I comfortable during our photoshoot. I highly recommend booking him as your photographer for those special moments in life you want to capture! I had booked him for out wedding next year and his videographer since they have such a good price for the combo and outstanding photos.

Hi there! I'm Sam, a laid-back, down to earth gal! My love for photography started at a very young age. I thrive off of connecting with amazing people and creating beautiful visual art. I'm a 'go with the flow', free-spirited human. I am based in San Diego but travel all over the USA and world to capture stunning weddings. Travel is encouraged! I love visiting Miami, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, San Fransisco, and other major cities in America. So excited to connect with you and create some stunning photographs that will last a lifetime!

Sam was one of the first vendors that we booked, and from the intro call, Sam was so kind and communicative with all of our questions. She walked us through her process, editing style and expectations from her, and answered all of our questions no problem. She made it easy to book and was so excited to work with us as well. From there she was happy to answer any of our questions and touched base with us leading up to the event till the day of. She showed up very professional but was still her kind self and didn’t hesitate to step up to help us find the best shots for bridal portraits, first looks, and more. She had no problem wrangling our families for photos, and blended in so well in some instances to get the shot. She helped us get photos with every single person at our wedding, and even led the line dances for our guests. Then when it came time to get our photos back, I was BLOWN AWAY by her editing style and hand picked photos to send back to us. You can tell that she is passionate about all of her work from being behind the camera to editing. She went above and beyond her contract and duties, and truly was so instrumental to capturing our day for us, as every time I look at our photos, I feel the emotion she captured from them. Sam is an absolute must for photography and editing!

I'm Erin. I'm a photographer, traveler, and wide-eyed wonderer. I split my time between the Midwest and my bungalow near the beach in Oceanside, CA. My favorite pastimes include exploring Disneyland, watching Schitts Creek & Ted Lasso, and cuddling my dog. I have a loud laugh. I love cabernet franc, chocolate chip cookies, and I'm on a constant search for the best tacos in the world.

Erin was just so easy to work with from the first point of communication on email prior to the wedding to tidying up before to during the wedding and after. It's a full service experience and she is just easy-going and great at capturing the moments! I even saw her dancing and enjoying herself during the Money Dance- so fun! Highly Recommend

Sandra Yvette Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves La Mesa, CA

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 loved working with Sandra during the entire wedding process! I was stressed finding the perfect photographer, and she was so responsive to my first inquiry, hopped on the phone, and immediately gave me such great vibes. She's sweet, understanding, gave me a lot of peace of mind, and stood out among other photographers I spoke with at a similar price range (not to mention very experienced and a pro at what she does!). While I didn't book an engagement session, we met in person before our wedding and she was so fun to hang out with, listened to my concerns without judgment, and was so comforting! She was calm and orderly and kept to schedule on our wedding day, was so kind to our guests, and got all of our photos without putting too much pressure on us or taking us away from the event. I don't love taking photos, and she made me feel so beautiful, confident, and natural on the day. We absolutely love our photos, and am so happy to have worked with Sandra!!

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!

Grace was just amazing. For a day that was overwhelming and very stressful, I cannot thank her enough for her calm and kindness. My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.

Hello lovely! Let me introduce myself—I’m Sarah. Welcome to my little creative space—I hope you love it here & make yourself at home. My goal as your photographer is to put you at ease and therefore be able to capture your moments authentically and beautifully. As a film and digital photographer ("hybrid" if you will!), I take a big step back to capture your memories with intention, love, and honesty - my promise to you, is to treat your day as if it were my own. Film is my favorite medium to capture wedding days on, as I feel it brings back a level of authenticity, imperfection, and refined elegance that is irreplaceable.

Luxury wedding photography in California and worldwide... You want your photos to be as unique as you are. You want photos that capture the intimacy and emotion of your day. I have spent the past decade developing my approach to wedding photography, learning how to be unobtrusive, when to take the lead, and when to take step back and anticipate the moment. The resulting experience is one that allows you to be in the moment. The resulting images are authentic, beautiful and timeless.

Awarded Best of Zola
Roberta is AMAZING! Our wedding venue includes the photographer in the package, so we reached out to her to see if she could do our engagement photos, without a wedding package. She was so flexible, able to meet us at our chosen location and even let us reschedule last minute because of rain. She made us feel so relaxed even though it can be awkward acting couple-y in public in front of a camera. Our photos turned out perfectly, really capturing our love for each other. I am particularly impressed with her use of lighting and ability to capture the movement of my hair. I would highly recommend her for your big day or other photo needs! Update: Because of COVID, we chose to host a small, intimate wedding rather than working with our original venue. We loved Roberta's work for our engagement photos and asked her to photograph our mini-wedding as well. She helped us work out a timeline that made sense for such a small ceremony and captured our special day beautifully.

Cassy Velazquez Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves La Mesa, CA

I have always loved story-telling. I loved writing stories as a kid (I even tried to get a book published at age 12) and I love writing my own D&D campaigns now. Through storytelling, I see the paths laid ahead for our heroes, and beautiful adventures that need to be documented. Through storytelling, I started to see the pictures. And from these pictures, I began to photograph. I am crazy passionate about your day. I want to help you capture those moments. I want you to have the most amazing time, and the happiest memories. I want you to have photos so good that you can’t wait to show it off to the people you know, and even those you don’t.

My Husband and I were scrolling through Instagram to find our wedding photographer and came across one of Cassy’s posts. We immediately fell in love with her photography style and aesthetic. We reached out to her for our engagement session and it was absolutely wonderful. To start off, I will give HUGE kudos to Cassy for getting onto a Ferris wheel to take our engagement pictures. We later found out she was afraid of heights. This will just prove my point that Cassy will go the extra mile & what she does for her clients. During the engagement session, she helped my husband and I feel comfortable as she took our photos and once we received our photos we were so thrilled at how amazing they came out. We knew right then and there we had to secure her for our wedding date. My husband and I had never planned a wedding, & we were also looking for a videographer and had no luck in our search. I reached out to Cassy for any referrals or previous videographers she recommended. She asked us what we were looking for and what our budget was and gave us a list of videographers. We found our videographer through her and we are thankful to her because they were exactly what we were looking for. A few weeks before my wedding, I had to find a new makeup artist and Cassy came through again! She gave me a list of makeup artists and helped me find a MUA for my wedding day. Fast forward to our wedding day, Cassy & her team got there early to set up and first things first, they congratulated me. As a bride on your wedding day, it can be wonderful moment but it can also feel a tiny bit Overwhelming , like you have no control of what happens at that moment. BUT, I felt so calmed and reassured as soon as I saw her. It really helped knowing a professional familiar face on my wedding day. Having her as our photographer during our engagement and my family photography session, prepared myself what to expect on our wedding day. She made me feel assured & calm and kept us ON TIME to our wedding timeline. Cassy & her team went above and beyond to capture all of our important moments and asked for any last minute details we wanted to make sure we got photos off. My favorite part during the wedding was that Cassy was not shy to interrupt to keep us on track with our wedding timeline. And you need someone to make sure you are on track so you can get to all of your activities and make sure your photographer captures all the moments that you have planned for. Cassy worked so well with all other vendors and was professional. Cassy was responsive and on time with the delivery of our photo galleries and we loved them all. My husband and I cried all over again. Cassy was the BEST, ABSOLUTE BEST.

I cannot recommend Emily enough! We found her a few months out from the wedding and did a call to talk about our budget and our vision for our wedding. Emily was so accommodating, shaping a photography and videography package that fit us perfectly! On our wedding day she was incredibly hard working and well prepared. She makes everyone she meets feel comfortable, confident and beautiful in their pictures! On top of honoring our "shot list" and getting all of my top priorities taken care of, Emily scoped out the venue and came up with fun locations and ideas that we hadn't considered! She also played with traditional photography, shooting on film, and polaroids all of which gave us unique looks that we love!

Hey there! Kataryna here. Thanks for checking out my work. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet you and everyone else that I have throughout my photography journey. I started photography in high school and fell in love with all that my camera and I could do. In my college years at the University of Iowa, I was able to strengthen my photography skills by taking an internship with a wedding company. Shortly after graduation, I moved back to the Chicago suburbs and began growing my business. A few years later, and I am extremely grateful for everything I have been able to accomplish. ​

Kat Beatty Photos is one of our favorite photographers to work with! She has a beautiful editing style and is a master of the candid photo. She's professional, kind and easy to work with. We're always excited to hear when our couple book with Kat. Book her and you won't regret it!

As a devoted wedding and portrait photographer, my primary focus is on authentically capturing the genuine emotions that make up your unique story. My goal is to ensure that your special day is not just visually documented, but deeply felt.

Rafael is hands down one of the best photographers I have worked with. I used his services previously for my mothers wedding and when the day came for mine I knew he was the photographer for us. He is detail oriented, patient, creative and kind. When my husband and I decided to elope we only gave ourselves a week and a half to plan. Rafael was very accommodating to our last minute plans and made us feel as if we had planned our special day a year in advance. Rafael took the time to learn the site and plan beautiful photos accordingly. Rafael gave us great directions on how to pose and what angels would make us stand out. My husband and I are not huge on taking photos and when we received the photos we were amazed ! The photos looked natural and captured who we are as a couple. I look at these photos and feel confident and beautiful! I appreciate all the work Rafael put in to our special day ! We are so excited to share these photos with our loved ones for generations to come.

I’m Ashley Checkos, a wedding photographer with a background in management and photography. With 3 years of experience, I bring a detail-oriented, organized, and efficient approach to every event. My philosophy is to see clients through my lens, letting their unique energy set the tone for their day.

I’m excited to create lasting memories of your special day.

I highly recommend MyselfLens for any occasion to take your photos. Ashley is so easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable even when I was 7 months postpartum and didn't love my body. She moved throughout my busy day with ease and it felt like she wasn't even there at times which made it possible for her to catch candid moments. I still look back at my wedding photos in complete awe that she could capture those moments and make them so aesthetically beautiful! She's so professional yet also feels like a friend. I will use her time and time again! She really made me feel like a princess.

 These are the values behind what we do. These three words are the heart and soul of our work and everything we do is based around adventure and authenticity. When you hire us, you are hiring photographers who truly care about the experience you will have on your day. We don’t mind getting a little dirty or wet. We don’t mind staying until after dark to get the perfect shot. We don’t mind the hikes, or the time in-between each event. We are truly there for you and to tell the story of your day exactly as it happens

I don’t even know where to begin to express how much we loved Candance and her husband Corey. My husband doesn’t easily warm up to new people, and he especially hates being the center of attention and hates taking photos. Both of the photographers made each of us feel so comfortable. We really felt like we had a great connection with them. Our engagement photos and our wedding photos are above and beyond what we could have hoped for. They are absolutely a work of art and you can tell that they love what they do. We absolutely believe that this team was meant to be a part of our lives and our big day. Even our wedding party told us how cool the photographers were. Thank you so much for being a part of our dream. We love you

Mattie does incredible work and is so sweet! From our engagement photo session to our wedding day Mattie was wonderful. We just received our sneak peaks and I am so excited to see the rest. Watching her work throughout the wedding day was impressive. She was able to put us at ease and take beautiful natural photos. We love her vintage inspired vision!
