Image In Love Photography

  • Serves Vista, CA

I'm in love with taking photos and I spend all of my time working on fine-tuning my photography but also getting deeper than just taking photos. I am taking photos with the purpose now more than ever. Its been my years of experience that has helped me develop my photography into art and not just a picture taker. From the moment I meet my clients, I want to know as much as I can. Getting closer to a client really transcends into the photographs I am taking of them and their special day.

Toby has done my daughter’s newborn photos and other Christmas time photos of our family. He always makes us feel so comfortable. Recently he did our family photos again and we tried a new venue - the beach. The outcome brought me to tears! I was so impressed with his ability to get our daughter’s personality and to capture the moments of love between us. It is truly endearing and memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

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!

Gleimlight did such a great job with our engagement photos, wedding photos and our wedding video. Everytime they sent photos I was always so extremely happy with their final products. They were sooo fast getting the images back to us too. They even would send me a sneak peek photo, which was so great to get. They really care and are so easy to work with. We didnt know the first thing about how to pose for photos and they told us exactly what we needed to do to make for great photos. I highly recommend them!

We are Hayes and Bree, your San Diego wedding photo and video duo! In 2020, we met online, but were stunned that both of us had been capturing weddings through photography and videography separately for years! After getting married, we combined our businesses to create one where we not only get to continue doing what we love, but get to do it together. Whether it's a local wedding in San Diego or traveling to gorgeous spots like the European countryside, we would love for you to come along for the journey!

Bree is absolutely the sweetest woman ever and an incredibly talented photographer! It’s hard for me to know where to start! I was looking for a light and airy, timeless photography style and Bree totally emulates that! From the beginning, Bree was so accommodating and helpful. She sent over a welcome packet with tips to make your shoot look the best possible including outfit suggestions. She also provided resources about wedding planning and vendor selection! She truly goes above and beyond to make wedding planning and your wedding day flawless! We had our first shoot with her for our engagement session in winter 2019 in Kent, OH! I was excited to be in front of the camera but my fiance (now hubs) was not as excited (tip: ALWAYS do an engagement shoot for this reason.) After about the first 20 minutes into the shoot my fiance loosened up and began feeling more and more comfortable and I credit that all to Bree. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her cueing is perfection. She turned around our engagement photos in a timely manner and they were BEAUTIFUL. Leading up to the wedding Bree was more than a photographer! She helped listen to some of my wedding stresses and give some advice, especially with COVID happening halfway through my wedding planning. She was flexible with all the changing situations and always reassured us that she would do everything in her power to make our wedding day perfect and she delivered! After filling out my pre-wedding shot list packet about a couple weeks before the wedding, Bree and her assistant arrived on time and ready to go! They were very organized and knew exactly how to take charge of the group. She flawlessly wrangled my hubs and his groomsmen for photos, directed ALL of my family quickly through family formal photos, and captured every important moment of our evening. Even my bridesmaids were saying how sweet she was for days after my wedding! Bree was amazing and sent over a few sneak peek photos in a couple days and they are GORGEOUS! It makes us so beyond excited to get all of our photos back. My husband and I 110% recommend Bree as your weddings/engagement/senior portrait/family photos or anything-you’d-ever-need photographer! I hope to have another reason to work with her in the future!

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.

I'm so grateful I found Emma and her team on Zola. In addition to my wedding, I also had her shoot a boudoir shoot and that was the first time I met her. Since that was totally out of my comfort zone, I was nervous but she immediately made me feel at ease and comfortable. The photos came out great and my husband loved the gift. For my actual wedding, Emma enlisted Solveig and second shooter Shiloh, who were also fantastic. Even though I barely knew them, they jumped right in and everything was so calm and organized. I even got my sneak peeks within a week and a half! I can't wait to see how they captured the rest of my big day. I would definitely refer Emma and her team to anyone looking!

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 got married in Spring of 2021 and this review is LONG overdue! Sandra and her husband Fernando were amazing to work with! I still look back and think about how easy it was to be around them and feel comfortable. They were recommended by our wedding planner. Their videography skills were top notch and we loved our classic long and sneak peek short films. I am forever grateful for their talent and guidance throughout the wedding day festivities, constantly keeping everything in order to capture the best moments. And their wonderful personalities were a joy to be around! Sandra has that artistic eye and somehow kept things light by making us laugh a lot:) She also communicated well giving us updates on when to expect the videos. Thank you for everything!! I highly recommend Sandra Yvette Photography to anyone looking for those raw, natural moments on such a special day.

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.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Irina and Carlsbad Photo for our wedding photography, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Irina was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. She took the time to understand our vision for the day and helped us create a timeline that would ensure we captured all the important moments. On the day of the wedding, Irina arrived early and was ready to go. She worked quickly and efficiently to capture all the details, from the getting ready process to the ceremony and reception. She even managed to get some great shots of our first dance and all the dancing that followed, which we absolutely love. When we received our photos back, we were blown away. They are absolutely stunning and perfectly capture the joy and love of our special day. We especially love the candid shots that capture all the emotions of the day. We would highly recommend Irina and Carlsbad Photo to anyone looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer. She is truly amazing at what she does, and we are so grateful that she was a part of our special day.

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough.

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!

I love telling the messy, beautiful stories of life and each person’s own unique experience being human. I'm a people-person to my core and I thrive on creating a space where you can feel free to be your incredible self. I want us to know each other as real people, not just as commitments on each other’s calendars. Let's be friends and make photos that are lovely and messy and true. This is an inclusive, anti-racist space for all humans, all love, and all body-types. You, your love, and your story are welcome here. Come as you are.

Brittany was amazing to work with from start to finish! We absolutely loved how our maternity photos turned out and I still tear up looking through them. As people who aren't super comfortable taking photos to begin with, this whole process was a bit out of our comfort zone, but Brittany made the experience super enjoyable, comfortable, and fun which we really appreciated! She got to know us as a couple and did not ask us to do any overly posed shots which we loved. Plus we got our full gallery within a couple weeks! Highly recommend booking with Brittany for your photo needs. She's a wonderful human and super talented!

Black Hat Studio captured the emotions at our wedding phenomenally! We had a simple wedding in Riviera Maya with a last minute venue change because of a storm and the team calmly rolled with the punches and made the most of the changes. We were worried all the changes would reflect poorly in our photos and videos, but they turned out wonderfully and we've not tire of flipping through them! A wonderful group that we would book again in a heartbeat!

Hello! I'm Natalie, a passionate documentary photographer dedicated to capturing the authentic and heartfelt moments of your special day. My approach to wedding photography is all about storytelling. I believe the most beautiful photos come from genuine, unscripted moments that reflect the true emotions and unique story of each individual couple. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me spending time with my family, traveling to new places, or just cuddled up with a good show and a comfy blanket. I’m always inspired by the beauty of everyday moments and bring this inspiration into my work.

Working with Natalie was a dream. It can be overwhelming having a camera on you and all this attention on you but Natalie carries herself with such a beautiful energy that puts you at ease. She really helps pose you and feel comfortable and before you know it you’re posing on your own. The confidence really shows in her images. My husband and I couldn’t be more happy with our photos! Can’t wait to work with her again, would recommend to all of my friends!

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 a small town girl living in the big city of San Diego. You know the saying, “Home is where the heart is?” For me it has two meanings. If home is a physical place, mine is the magical little town where I was born – Ojai, California. It is a place where people can breathe deep and feel the wholeness of their lives. It's a magical little valley of peace happiness. If home is truly where the heart is, then mine is my family. In 2016, I married my best friend and the father of our beautiful son and daughter. We are a squad of awesomeness and those three hold my heart in the palm of their hands.

Morgan will be your best friend, wedding planner and confidant aside from taking the most beautiful pictures!! I can’t imagine anyone else to have taken our beautiful engagement & wedding pictures and look forward to taking family pictures in the future! She loves to travel so even if you’re not based in CA, reach out to her! Look no further, Morgan is the best of the best!

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 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
She is so fun to shoot with and makes you feel so comfortable even if you have never taken professional photos before. My fiancé (now husband) and I had so much fun during our session! Every time I have shot with Katie I am over the moon when I get the photos back, she does an incredible job and has such a unique eye!! We have shot with her multiple times and had her shoot at our wedding, I can’t recommend her enough!

My husband and I worked with Adrianna as our lead photographer for our wedding day at Canopy Grove in Escondido, California. She is absolutely AMAZING! Adrianna and the team were incredibly kind, professional, and easy to work with. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera and Adrianna made us feel confident throughout the whole process. She is incredibly detail-oriented and made the entire day go smoothly with her leadership skills and flexibility. Truly ALL of our photos are absolutely gorgeous, and we are so blessed to have such beautiful memories to take with us that will last a lifetime. Would highly recommend Adrianna for all brides and grooms looking for a creative, fun, and talented photographer! :)

Robyn was amazing. From the beginning, she was great at communication and always got back to me very quickly with super clear answers and tons of recommendations to help my photography vision come to life! She has a good amount of experience and was able to help us out a lot with the timeline of things so we could get the exact photos we wanted and with who we wanted them with. Robyn is a rockstar and is really good at making you feel comfortable being photographed and just have fun! She goes above and beyond and even had safety pins (which I completely forgot to bring) so we could do our money dance! She helped me with so many extra small things I didn't even think about and I really appreciated it. 10/10 recommend.

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!

I am a full-time wedding photographer based in San Diego and first things first, I want you to know your wedding is a huge deal to me. As your wedding photographer, I'm your ultimate third-well and your right-hand-woman. I’m like your bridesmaid / groomslady with a camera. More than just a hired vendor, I’ll be your cheerleader, encourager, organizer, drink-getter, and the gal screaming “YAYYYY" because I’m so excited about the awesome photos we’re creating together. With the experience, knowledge, and expertise of photographing nearly 300 weddings, I am here with you every step of the way. Can’t wait to be along this journey with you!!!

Stop looking for photographers - you’ve found the best one!! Here’s why: 1. She’s a tremendously talented photographer. Kami does her research, keeps you relaxed/comfortable, and is super creative. She was extremely prepared for our engagement shoot and on our wedding day and achieved amazing results (look at her albums). On our wedding day, she positioned herself thoughtfully, and respectfully. 2. Kami is a true professional, super fun and keeps it light. She brings amazingly positive energy, is fun to be around (an absolute bundle of joy) and has a higher level of emotional intelligence than anyone we know. She made us so comfortable in our pictures which reflected in how much we loved how they turned out. 3. Kami is a leader in both her field and as a person. If you could create a perfect photographer (and person) to go through a pandemic with, it would be her. Throughout some of the most difficult times of the COVID-19 crisis, she was calm, empathetic and so committed to making sure we were doing well, even when we had to reschedule, etc. We talked to her multiple times about our situation and she not only made us feel better afterwards, but feel on top of the world. She was with us at the worst moments and of course at the best (our 7 person wedding). Take a second to reflect on the impact that the COVID-19 crisis had on photographers. 4. Kami is a great communicator. Always proactive, respectful, and timely You learn a little bit about a person during the good times, but you truly learn about a person through the worst of times. We’ve known Kami over the last 1.5 years including through the COVID-19 pandemic and have learned about how she is an amazing photographer (again look at her albums!!), but more importantly an amazing person. She will be with you through it all. Congratulations on finding your photographer (and likely a great friend)!
