Mirage and Light Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Lakeside, CA

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

My husband and I cannot rave enough about how amazing Amanda is as a photographer!! We live in NYC and had our wedding in southern California, so it was extra important for us to find someone who was professional and responsive. Amanda was both right from the beginning, and she made all the preparations very easy for us. We first met her in person to take our engagement photos, and we felt like we bonded with Amanda right away. We both feel awkward in front of a camera, and Amanda was a pro at helping us to relax and look natural in the photos. And her photos from our wedding are absolutely stunning! She did an incredible job capturing the natural light of our outdoor venue and all of the special moments, big and small, from the day. We are so, so happy with our photos, and with the wonderful memories Amanda helped us create. The icing on the cake is that Amanda puts personal touches on everything that she does and provides, and it's clear she loves her job. It's not a stretch to say I recommend Amanda every chance I get, and although we don't live in southern California, I genuinely hope we'll have more opportunities to work with Amanda again. Thank you, Amanda - you're a treasure!

That’s why I’m so passionate about creating art with you and your loved ones in mind.

They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it!

I thrive on making your photos a completely comfortable, fun and utterly painless process! I absolutely LIVE for this.

We worked with Amanda/Oh Lovely Wedding for our Coronado based wedding this summer and it was one of the best investments we made for the entire event. Leading up to the big weekend, Amanda was so easy to get in touch with and communicate our vision and needs for the day. My fiancé a few months back was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy and Amanda was so great to work with his best angles to minimize any major signals that something may be off. She was kind, professional, and took absolutely killer photos. Which brings me to my next point, Amanda’s work is next level. The photos she produced came out even better than I hoped. Our tones and lighting in every photo was so perfect and I couldn’t be happier with the results. We’ve gotten loads of compliments from our guests who love their photos and enjoyed Amanda’s engagement at the wedding. I would absolutely recommend Amanda and Oh Lovely Wedding, and I know we’ll be using her in the future! Thank you Amanda!

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.

We did our maternity and holiday family picture with Cassy, and our family love it! I have a golden retriever and a 3-year old toddler so you can imagine how chaotic it can be to take a good family picture with two goofy balls. Cassy is amazing! She has this special magic to make the photo session a fun game for them and capture the precious moments for the family (the interaction, the laugh and etc.). She is patient with all our requests (e.g. different combination of family members) and she is good at guiding us for poses that looks natural but aesthetic. The whole session was like a fun activity and the whole family enjoyed it. We got our picture in about a week ( it's just like a blink considering it is holiday season!) and everyone loves it - the photo gallery is super easy to access and share with family members. Perfect if you want to do a digital holiday cards :) I'd highly recommend Cassy to capture the precious moments for every special occasion.

Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Abby made our day unforgettable. She had this ease about her that calmed me throughout the day. Anything I wanted to make sure we included she made it happen - even the smallest detail that I had forgotten about she remembered. She drove me up a mountain for first look photos. That right there is dedication. Not only was she supportive as a professional, it was great to have her there as a friend. I would recommend this amazing photographer to anyone. The quality of her work shows through her photos and her work ethic. She had sneak peak photos emailed to me the literal next day. Abby is an absolute wonder, and I will forever be grateful she was there to capture the most perfect moments of the most beautiful day. Thank you, Abby!

Emily is amazing!!! She was able to photograph our welcome party and wedding day this past September. She was easy to communicate/coordinate with and such a sweet person. Emily helped curate a shot list and ensure all of our little moments were captured for the wedding weekend. Emily made us all feel at ease for all the event photos and did a great job hitting our "must haves" on our shot list. She was able to do a fun combo of Polaroid and digital photographs of our wedding weekend. Emily was quick with our sneak peak photos after the weekend and she did such a great job capturing all the fun! I would HIGHLY recommend her services for any big event

Hiii all! I'm Kylie - owner of K Bady Photo. I am a kind, warm, silly person who loves art and people. I am a hopeless romantic with a love for celebration so naturally I fell into wedding photography. If you're looking for someone to capture your big day in a way that really feels like you, Im that person!

Awarded Best of Zola
When I say that our photos had us laughing, crying and screaming (in the most excited and happy way), I am not exaggerating. And the pictures were just part of it. Not only did Kylie deliver stunning galleries, but she curated a whole experience. Right from our first phone call, Kylie made us feel both excited and at ease, which was a theme throughout our time working with her. We had the pleasure of working with Kylie for both our engagement shoot and wedding. When she arrived to the engagement shoot, she brought allll the happy energy and creativity, despite it being like 6 AM on a chilly morning at the beach. She immediately made us feel more comfortable in front of the camera than I thought was possible, and then proceeded to ask us really thoughtful questions about what kind of posing we preferred, which meant a lot to us as a queer couple where assumptions could have been made… Kylie was incredibly quick with the editing and had our gallery back to us the next day, and our photos were literal treasures. She captured our personalities so well. They were a far cry from the stale, cookie-cutter engagement photos I see on instagram all the time. Before the wedding, Kylie provided two calls and made herself available for any questions that came up in between. She worked with our wedding planner to make sure our day-of timeline would run smoothly and that we’d get all the pictures we wanted. By the time the wedding came, we were excited to introduce all of our friends to Kylie and see what magic she would work. She was confident, calming and encouraging the whole day and even handled a delicate family dynamic beautifully. The photos she and her talented assistant, Jordan, delivered were incredible, and we got so many compliments from our friends and family. Booking Kylie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and I am so grateful we got to work with her!

Hi my name is Amber and I cannot wait to embark on this next journey in life with you. I picked up my first camera almost 20 years ago when I was 13 and I haven't put one down since. As a wedding, elopement and adventure photographer I am here to document your memories, tell your stories and capture those moments you ordinarily wouldn't even see. I am beyond passionate about what I do. I'm not simply taking your photos, I'm telling your stories and I cannot wait to start your next chapter with you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anyone thinking of booking Amber for a wedding, engagement shoot, or just some family photos… Do not hesitate! Where to begin… Amber is outstanding! We booked Amber for our elopement to San Francisco from the UK in Nov 2023. At first we were apprehensive about making the big commitment to a photographer, we wouldn’t have the chance to meet face to face before the big day. But we were quickly put at ease after speaking with Amber. From our initial enquiry, right through to Amber putting us in the cab back to our hotel after our ceremony, Amber was a dream to work with… The relationship we developed was so professional, yet friendly and fun. Amber was super organised, and very responsive to all our questions and emails, communicating from the UK was not an issue at all… Even up until the morning of our ceremony, Amber was in regular contact with advice, and guidance on how everything would run. Amber listened to our all ideas and worked with us to put together a package that captured exactly what we wanted, and more! Both my husband and I were very nervous about having our photo taken, but Amber immediately put us at ease, and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed.. We weren’t even aware of onlookers, and the photos came out amazing. We’re so thankful we have such beautiful photos to look back on. We are truly so grateful for Amber and the time she spent with us, we could not recommend Amber enough… She smashed it, and we couldn’t have done it without her!

Welcome. I'm D e r e c k. I've been doing photography and videography since 2017. It wasn't until the pandemic of last year that I decided to take a leap of faith and make it a full-time career. I feel like I've always had a burning passion for photography and editing, I love photography because it captures a moment in time. Whether that moment is your wedding day or an annual family portrait, pictures enable us to relive and remember special occasions again + again. Why I specifically dove into Wedding Photography? Simple!! My love for creativity and seeing passionate couples that aren't afraid to show their personalities

Dereck Davis Photography was a joy to work with for our wedding photography. Dereck has an incredibly friendly, welcoming, and fun communication style that put me at ease, as I'm usually shy and awkward posing for photos. His artistic eye and casual style resulted in gorgeous, natural-looking photos that perfectly captured the laidback vibe of our wedding day. Even during more orchestrated moments like the family portraits, Dereck kept things upbeat and moving smoothly. His easy-going manner encouraged everyone to relax and enjoy themselves rather than stress about getting the perfect shot. Our wedding photos are stunning yet look effortless due to Dereck's ability to work with the existing lighting and scenery. We felt like we were hanging out with a close friend rather than posing stiffly for a photographer. I wholeheartedly recommend Dereck for wedding photography - his beautiful, joyful images will help you remember the love and delight of your special day for years to come.

I moved around a lot growing up and I can remember not always loving it. But now, truly grateful for how it's shaped me. My husband was the exact opposite. He had a hometown, graduated high school with childhood friends, knowing every street, and watching every change. I think that is part of the reason we were attracted to each other. One yearning for roots, and the other for branches. Finding them within each other. Finding in each other a home and an adventure. It is hard to remember who I was before him, and hard to imagine my life without him. When I think of him... I smile, I cry, I laugh. This is what makes me feel alive.

Gabby is FANTASTIC! I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for a photographer. My husband and I are introverted and not super comfortable in front of the camera but Gabby made it easy. The communication throughout the whole process was perfect. She checked in often enough to ease my anxiety, but not so much that it added extra stress through the wedding planning process. We had her do our engagement and wedding photos and she did an amazing job at capturing our love in a way that felt authentic to who we are as a couple. She truly listened to what we wanted. On the actual wedding day, she literally saved my life by sewing a button to my dress so that I could have a bustle for my train to make sure I enjoyed the dancing without tripping or ruining my dress. She was so much more than our photographer, she was our friend who looked out for us and supported us the entire day. You will not be disappointed if you choose Burlap and Blossom!
