Artistic Pro Photography and Videography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Poway, CA

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.

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

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

  • Fine art style

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 is an amazing photographer! If I could give her 10 stars I absolutely would. She was amazing working with both of our crazy families and from the very beginning I knew that she’d do a great job capturing the special moments of our special day. She worked with everyone and did a great job explaining what everyone needed to do to get a perfect shot. She also was absolutely wonderful with our 2 year old son who would’ve climbed in the car and went home with her if he could. If I could do it all over again I would definitely always pick Grace to shoot our wedding! She was an amazing addition to the day and we are so thankful that we found her.

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.

Truly, I cannot express the gratitude that I have for Sarah and her team. She is kind, professional, and has the exact kind of energy everyone hopes for on their big day.

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.

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.

Cassy has that key important skill of a great photographer: how to make people feel comfortable and relaxed, while having fun! Cassy takes such beautiful pictures and all of my couples have been very happy with her. She is so friendly and. very professional. Highly recommended!

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.

Planning my wedding was definitely exciting, but had a lot of stressful moments because I can be a perfectionist and very indecisive. I think I was mostly nervous about booking a photographer because eventually people will forget the details maybe even the dress I chose, but the pictures are forever. So that was what I wanted to be absolutely perfect. Let me tell you… my prayers were answered when I found Rabab!!! I was immediately drawn by her absolutely stunning work, and I knew that was exactly what I wanted for my wedding. When I met Rabab in person, to discuss my needs for a photographer and get a quote, I was instantly put at ease when I met her. She has a way of making anyone feel very comfortable with her charismatic personality. She is also funny and made me feel like we were friends instantly! She was able to customize what I was looking for which was really nice because other photographers that I reached out before had a very rigid package that they offered. Rabab genuinely cares and always aims to please. When I first saw our engagement photos, I literally cried tears of joy. There’s only been a couple of other times in my life when that has happened. I just genuinely felt so overjoyed and completely ecstatic with Rabab‘s PERFECT work!!! I am not comfortable taking pictures because I don’t feel that I’m photogenic and again I am super picky and a perfectionist, but Rabab captured my very best features and angles, and made me look better than I ever have! I was instantly ecstatic to see what our wedding pictures would look like, and she did not disappoint me once. She is super professional, kind, genuine, and offered to help me the day of my wedding with little things that she didn’t have to do with her role as my photographer. looking back on my wedding day there are certain things I would do differently… but I am the most grateful for Rabab! I will forever be more than satisfied and overjoyed that I chose her to be our wedding photographer. Her stunning work speaks for itself!!! she is crazy talented, and absolutely brilliant! She is also a brilliant artist, it’s so inspiring to meet someone that talented in so many ways! She is someone that I consider an honor to know, and have worked with. Trust me… The best decision you can make is hiring Rabab. She is everything a wedding photographer should be and so much more, she exceeded my already perfect expectations!!

We chose her because we love her work and editing style but our experience with her surpassed all expectations. She is a genius behind the lens. She coordinated with us wonderfully and made many great suggestions. We met her in person for the first time at our engagement photo session and felt comfortable with her right away. She was very patient with me and understanding of my health/special needs. And during our wedding day she facilitated the day and kept us on schedule for photos. She worked great with our vendor team and made our experience a lovely one. She is so kind and professional. We absolutely love all of the photos we have received so far. We highly recommend her .

Real Connections. Raw Emotions. Candid Moments. 

 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.
