We recently had the pleasure of working with Heather Elise, and I can't say enough good things about the experience! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, friendly, and talented. Heather took the time to understand our vision and preferences, which made a huge difference in the outcome. She had a fantastic eye for detail and captured moments beautifully, turning ordinary scenes into stunning works of art. Each photo tells a story, and I truly appreciate how she managed to capture both candid moments and posed shots with such skill. Throughout the wedding, Heather made everyone feel at ease, which really helped to bring out our natural smiles and personalities. Her creativity and enthusiasm were infectious, making the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. The sunset images exceeded our expectations! The quality and composition are simply breathtaking.

I’m here to capture nostalgic memories and help you remember the emotions behind the photos. I love capturing those truly candid moments. The kind of photos that put you right back in the moment five, ten, fifty years later. I'm a Southern California based photographer that will travel wherever you want to document your love! I'm constantly exploring with laid-back couples that want to capture genuine moments about their relationship. When I'm not taking pictures, you can usually find me hanging out with my loved ones, hiking, watching sitcoms, or taking a spontaneous trip.

Emily’s photography portfolio and aesthetic captured my attention, I just knew that my husband and I had to work with her. She captured our love, laughter, and happiness so beautifully. She made us feel comfortable and the session felt effortless, which I was worried about since we’ve never had professional photos taken before. She’s magical, please please work with her! You won’t be disappointed!

Khoa Photography

  • Serves Lemon Grove, CA

Hi there! I'm Khoa, a San Diego based wedding photographer who enjoys spending time with good people and road trips. I love all things weddings because witnessing couples' happiness brings me joy and fuels my creativity. I want to create photographs that can stand the test of time so couples can relive their day years from now and for generations to come.

Khoa was our wedding photographer from getting ready until the end of the night and we had an amazing experience with him the entire time! He is incredibly sweet and easy to work with, and made us feel very comfortable from the get-go. He was very thoughtful and thorough in using all aspects of our venue to provide amazing photos capturing the whole day. He worked very efficiently with us leading up to the ceremony to get us photos while still keeping us hidden away from our arriving guests, and then, during the ceremony and reception, he was amazingly unobtrusive but still able to capture all the great moments of our night! Khoa sent us a few preliminary photos which were all so perfect for personalizing our thank you cards. Once we got the full complement of photos from him we were blown away by the quality, editing, and energy he was able to capture from our wedding day. He is immensely generous with the number of photos he provides, and we have to stress that he somehow manages to deliver on both quantity AND quality. He is also very talented in composition and there were more than several photos that we never noticed him getting - everything perfectly captured the energy and feeling of the day and felt like we were reliving it again. Overall he feels like the complete package and we recommend him without hesitation!!!

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

Irina is an awesome and experienced photographer which is helpful when you have no idea what to expect on your wedding day. She works with you and your coordinator to make sure you get the shots you want. She even recommended some based on previous weddings she did at our venue. The planning process was straightforward and her rates were reasonable. On the day of the wedding she helped us get ready and reassured us that everything would be okay. She never stopped taking pictures and captured some wonderful moments throughout the night. We anxiously awaited our photos and they turned out better than we expected. She did a wonderful job capturing all the important memories. All of the pictures were gorgeous and she really made you feel special. We definitely recommend her to anyone getting married in the Carlsbad area!

Hey there! I'm Linda. San Diego wedding and portrait photographer. I've been photographing weddings for 5 years and have loved every minute of it. I'd love to chat with you and share how I can help you get the best possible images on your special day while giving you a great experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Linda for our elopement, and she exceeded all expectations in every way possible. From the moment we booked her, the process was incredibly easy and user-friendly. The booking system was straightforward, and I immediately felt confident in our choice. Her communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. She was in constant touch with us, especially when it came to the venue. Not only did she provide guidance and suggestions, but she also took the initiative to visit the site earlier in the week to scout locations with the best lighting and backdrops. Her attention to detail made the day go smoothly. Our elopement took an unexpected turn when it ended up being filmed for the news, causing us to go overtime. Despite the extended hours, Linda stayed well past her scheduled time and even took stunning photos of our interviews. Her dedication to capturing every moment, even the unplanned ones, was above and beyond. With her extensive experience with elopements, particularly at the San Diego courthouse, she had a deep understanding of the best timing and locations for photos, which made everything flow effortlessly. Her knowledge truly helped us maximize our time and get the most out of our special day. On top of her professionalism and expertise, she was a delight to work with. She brought a warm and calm energy to the day, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Her price point was also very reasonable for the level of service she provided. Without a doubt, I would book her again for any future events and highly recommend her to all my friends. If you're looking for a skilled, dedicated, and genuinely wonderful photographer for your elopement, Jalea Photography is the one!

Brittany was amazing to work with from our very first interaction until receiving our full album; even afterwords she continued to help us by answering questions about which types of print to order for our home. We were really drawn to her candid style of photography and outgoing personality. From the first email she was genuine and personable, making us feel extremely comfortable and excited for the process. Brittany spent a great deal of time getting to know us and what we were really looking for from our wedding photos. When the day came, we both felt relaxed and ready to have fun. It felt like we had a close friend taking our photos and not some random person. I would highly recommend working with Brittany, we look forward to continuing to work with her for future family photos!

I was raised in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California. I was drawn to photography in middle school and would enter photos of our family pets or family backpacking trips in our local county fair. My passion for photography grew while working as a hiking guide in Yosemite National Park. I mean… who wouldn’t want a stunning photo of Half Dome? El Capitan? Yosemite Falls? But it has been photographing wedding and couples that I find the most fun and rewarding. I have found loving hearts, wild souls, and adventurous spirits to be my people. I strive to visually capture the “spirit” of my subjects and record an emotional memory of the occasion.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Katie for our wedding (which was a small intimate ceremony). Prior to booking a photographer, I was nervous that I would feel awkward in front of the camera but the second I met Katie I knew she was the right fit for us. She came into the bridal suite with an amazing energy/vibe and was so laid back but extremely professional throughout the whole experience. We actually had such a blast taking photos! When I got them back I was amazed by the quality and how well she capture us and our families - we looked so natural but also so elegant. 10/10 experience would HIGHLY recommend booking her for your wedding!

I have traveled and photographed weddings and engagement shoots all over the country including internationally. I still get nervous before every wedding I photograph. If I didn’t have nervous tension, I probably would have lost the drive and passion for what I love doing the most. The reason for my love of wedding photography is simple: I love spending the day with brides and grooms creating wedding day memories that will last a lifetime. I hunt for moments that cannot be recreated or relived. I love capturing the raw emotion of a wedding day. I want to be the best not only for myself but especially for my clients.

Just book Peter! You won’t regret it. Super cool and personable from our visit video call with him. He was very flexible with our engagement shoot and generous with his time. Let me tell you…his vision!? Oh my. We have GORGEOUS photos from our engagement sesh as well as our wedding. I literally could not believe my eyes once I saw the photos! Anyone can take photos but Pete has the vision and artistic eye for epic photos! I cannot recommend him enough!

She worked with me on my timeline to make sure it was the most efficient timeline while considering everything I wanted to include in my day. She had so many great suggestions that really helped me with my timeline. Everything went SO smoothly! On the day of the wedding, she brought so much fun and light energy which calmed our nerves so much! She somehow even made family and wedding party pictures FUN! Everyone LOVED her. She is a true pro, super knowledgeable, and she put so much care and love into our day! The images from our wedding are TO DIE FOR! I seriously can't stop staring at them.

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!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Studio Vieren for our wedding day and it was the best decision we made! We can't say enough good things about Tara. From beginning to end — Tara was warm, kind, attentive, and truly passionate about her art and work. It is evident that she cares so much about what she does, as well as the couples she works with. She gives her all to ensure a truly wonderful and special experience. To begin, our consultation with her went amazingly. As soon as we started speaking with her, there was no question that she would be the artist to capture our wedding day. Not only was she a great listener (often later remembering the tiniest detail mentioned during this initial meeting that took place before we even hired her), but the love she has for making wedding days beautiful shone through. We initially found her and were captivated by her cinematic, warm, romantic, and in-the-moment style, and we were only further convinced to hire her by her lovely personality and the passion she showed us in that initial consultation. Once we hired her, Tara only kept impressing us. Throughout the entire planning process, she was always organized, prepared, detail-oriented, available, and creative. Every step of the process was clearly outlined for us and she always put our needs first while ensuring she would be able to deliver the vision we were hoping for. On the wedding day, Tara was nothing short of an angel. Not only did she excel in her own role as documentarian extraordinaire, but she also stepped up to help us navigate the day when our day-of-coordinator wasn't meeting expectations. She went above and beyond — making us feel taken care of and at ease (as much as a bride can be on her wedding day, haha). So many of our guests even went out of their way to tell us how outstanding they thought she was. She showed an unwavering commitment to ensuring that our day was unforgettable. And once we received the photos and film (which she delivered in a timely manner) — just wow! Everything turned out so beautifully. Tara captured our wedding day (the big and little moments alike) with so much warmth and magic. Seeing her incredible work allowed my husband and I to relive the day, and appreciate and love it more than we thought we could. Tara has such a gift and we can't thank her enough for everything she did for us.

Hiii! I'm Kayley and I'm so glad you're here. I’m energized by meeting new people, so please say hello! I’m a go with the flow kind of person – which explains my love for spontaneous trips and the excitement of weddings. I love to dance and have a good time (seriously, I WILL be out there on the dance floor with you).

Kayley was recommended to me by a good friend who had worked with her for years. To say that I was impressed with her work would be an understatement - she blew me away. Not only did she fit within my budget needs, she came up with a plan that captured everything I wanted. My husband had a photographer there when he proposed, so we didn't do the traditional engagement and then wedding sessions. We ended up with an amazing motorcycle couples shoot, a boudoir shoot, and wedding coverage. Kayley was quick on her feet at our wedding - we had 300 guests spread out across a decent sized park with multiple buildings. She not only kept up, she also kept it together during an insane thunder storm at the end of the night! It was such a lovely and easy experience for my husband and I while we planned such a large wedding, we will definitely be coming back to her for future photography needs!

INQUIRE ON MY WEBSITE! I've been doing this for 8 years now, & it really does get better with time. There are countless memories of laughter, holding back tears (mostly happy ones), surprises, & moments that my heart didn't see coming. The opportunity to meet couples that become friends is something I will always feel blessed to have. I love building that connection as much as possible! You two together is your own little piece of art. At least that’s how I see it! So with that being said, I don’t want to try & copy someone else’s art. How you interact together should be captured purely.

We hired Emma for our engagement pictures and our wedding photos and working with her was AMAZING. From the personalized welcome gift, to the clear direction during shoots, working with her was a breeze. She always had time for any of our questions and was so willing to help with whatever we needed! Please hire her for your photos for a stress free experience.

When it came to choosing a photographer, her name popped up on our venue’s preferred vendors and on our wedding planner’s preferred vendors. I knew right then and there that she was going to be our person! Jonathan and I are not a photogenic couple, we are awkward and hate being the center of attention. We met Lauren and Toby the day of our wedding and automatically felt comfortable. I had a little mishap with my dress and cannot thank Lauren enough for her patience in waiting for my dress to get fixed. Lauren and Toby did an amazing job with our family and friends as well, they all loved how friendly and easy it was to work with them. We received sneak peeks a week later and they are breathtaking!

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.

Unveiled Wedding Photography is one of San Diego’s most highly sought after wedding studios. Lead photographer, Mark Hillis has captured 900+ weddings. This vast experience, plus his background in commercial photography, gives him the expertise that few other San Diego wedding photographers can match. All of our collections include an experienced assistant photographer as well as a very detailed 1 hour timeline analysis done by Mark personally. Mark analyzes the entire day with you, and then types it up in detail. Unveiled's photojournalistic style ensures that your story is told as it unfolds, from the veil going on, to your sparkler exit.

Mark and his team were wonderful! I am so happy with my photos and the package I chose. The pricing was amazing and such great value. You don’t have to compromise a fantastic budget friendly price for high quality photos. We also received so many photos! I was so impressed with the work. I work in the events world and I’ve been charged a lot more for less. I highly recommend Unveiled Wedding Photography. Mark walks you through everything, gives excellent insights, and ultimately delivers a collection of memories that I’m so happy to have. I also loved that Mark brought a third person to our wedding that was paying attention to all of the details. From jacket buttons to necklaces, and stray hairs, he had us picture perfect the whole time.

We believe ALL people in love deserve the most beautiful celebration that truly represents & honors their relationship. We believe in planning your wedding the way YOU want it, a wedding that will reflect and celebrate who you uniquely are as a couple - and we're here to help you do that.

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.

Hi loves! I’m Amanda, a San Diego based traveling photographer devoted to documenting romantic wedding moments and preserving the essence of the big day with imagery. I absolutely love having fun with my couples and getting them comfortable in being exactly who they are to capture in images! I have been a photographer for 10+ years and have fallen in love with being the person who showcases a couple’s love through creative imagery. I’ll be your biggest hype man, get you laughing with your partner and capture every emotional moment that should never be forgotten!

Amanda and KC are the REAL deal. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Amanda for several events, including our intimate wedding in France and our larger celebration in the Central Coast of California. From start to finish, Amanda was the calm within the storm. Our family members and other vendors raved about her for days after—she truly was the glue that held us all together! Amanda is exceptionally professional, timely, and communicative. We were absolutely blown away by Amanda’s shots. She has a fresh take on classic, timeless photos and was super responsive to our own vision. We look genuinely comfortable in our photos, reflecting the awesome connection we had with Amanda. Amanda and her partner KC also shot our larger California celebration as a team. They both worked seamlessly together, delivering the same level of professionalism and skill. Amanda and KC are so much fun that we actually forced them to put down their cameras and dance with us at the end of the night. I really can’t recommend Amanda enough for anyone in need of an event photographer. She and KC will exceed your expectations, just like they did for us.

We have enough stress in our everyday lives, and I refuse to add any more of it into yours. That's why I do everything I can to make your photography experience as stress-free as possible. This means answering your emails quickly, freely sharing all of my knowledge & expertise with you, and walking alongside you throughout your entire planning process.

I've been recommending and working with Liz personally for my company's branding (I am a wedding planner) as well as with our mutual wedding couples. She is not only a talented photographer but her ability to put couples at ease in front of the lens, show true and candid emotion through her work, and her promptness in communication are some of the many highlights of working with Liz. I can easily jump into a laidback conversation as equally as we can discuss business - the kind of friend and professional you want on your wedding dream team! I have nothing but amazing things to say about Liz and her work - truly an up and coming gem!

We're Aly & Joey Tovar. We specialize in natural, romantic, and nostalgic photography. Our images incorporate natural lighting and candid moments while still creating the narrative of your love story. Our focus is for you to feel comfortable in front of the camera and to create something that shows who YOU are. When we're not capturing love stories, we're probably road roadtripping somewhere in Cali or cozied up in our trailer home with our two pups. We're lovers of Jesus, music, coffee (more so for joey), our vintage record collection, and exploring new places. We can’t wait to meet you and hear your story!

Alyssa and Joey are a dream to work with. Very friendly, hands on, and not at all pushy or intrusive on your wedding day. They float in and calm your nerves, all the while capturing beautiful and organic images that tell a story. It has been a pleasure to partner with them on many of our smaller wedding offerings and I look forward to many more events to come!

Hi hi welcome to my page! My name is Maddy and I am based in San Diego! In my work i really love to capture the warmth that is Southern California. I love the natural movements of documentary styled photos and the luxury feel of editorial, why choose a fav?! Even though I am based in San Diego, I grew up on the South East and love to travel, so take me wherever your love story is!

Maddy Greene was absolutely incredible. She was personable, professional, and made Matt and I feel so comfortable. She is extremely easy going, but assertive in all the right ways. She knows how to give perfect direction to make sure she gets the best shot. We were blow away by the photos and could not have been happier to have her photograph such a special day. I have no reservations to recommend Maddy Greene to anyone looking for a photographer!

Adrian Burlaza Photography

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!

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!!!

Shilpa was absolutely amazing to work with! We hired her pretty close to our wedding date and she helped us so much on all the questions we had and met with us in person to go over all the small and important details and was able to accommodate to anything we needed and wanted to be done. She was able to capture every single important moment we wanted and more! The pictures came out so beautiful, vibrant and just perfectly edited to enhance the beautiful moments. She is very creative and shoots tons of different beautiful, fun poses and spots. She’s a very hard worker and she made everyone feel really comfortable and we had a great time taking fun pictures with our wedding guests! We would recommend her to anyone! The next time we need a photographer for anything we’re calling her! :)
