  • Serves San Diego, 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 was fantastic! From beginning to end, he was very professional and accommodating. He artistically captured our special day and worked well coordinating photos with our large families. We love his edits, the angles, creative shots and all of the special candids! We requested a second photographer and a videographer as well; the entire crew was very professional and skilled & worked well together. He was very detailed in gathering information about the specific kinds of shots we wanted, and it was a relatively high bar given that my wife’s dad is a wedding photographer by trade. Toby did not disappoint, and had good chemistry with our family and guests, even connecting with Dad in the process. We're very thankful to have chosen Toby and his team to capture our special day!

I represent San Diego's top wedding photographers. I have sought out award winning talent that is technically savvy, creative, and very personable. Talent , experience, a great positive energy, and capturing a wide range of emotions, poses and backgrounds, are just a few of ingredients that goes into being successful for our clients .

The photos taken by Erin were great. The beginning process was really easy, but somehow the communication didn't connect to the actual photographer. We had a few miscommunications, but they quickly resolved the matter. The video came back not to the satisfaction of the client, so we pushed the video back to be reviewed and reworked. The quality hands down was excellent. I would certainly recommend them and work with them again.

Wellington worked with my husband and I for our engagement and wedding pictures. He was awesome to work with from him as a person to his attention to all the details and professionalism. When we first took our engagement photos, he made the experience fun and the pictures really expressed who my husband and I are together. Before our wedding day, Wellington came to our rehearsal for no pay. He did a walk through with us and helped plan out the pictures and locations. On our wedding day, he captured everything that we had talked about and so much more. Everything he did had a purpose and at the end of it our pictures came out great. All of the photos are amazing. I would highly recommend Wellington for any event. If you hire him, you won’t be disappointed. He is a nice guy too.

Choosing a wedding photographer is no small decision, especially when it comes to preserving the memories of your special day. We were fortunate to have found Eduardo and his team for our wedding in Mexico, and they exceeded our expectations. From the start, Eduardo was incredibly professional. He took the time to meet with us multiple times before the wedding, ensuring he understood our vision and preferences. His attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our specific requests put us at ease, knowing that our day would be captured just as we imagined. During the wedding, Eduardo and his team were discreet yet omnipresent, capturing the natural flow of events without intruding on the intimate moments, which was particularly important to us. Eduardo also had a swift turnaround. Within two months, we received our stunning photos and video, surpassing our contract's expectations. For anyone seeking a photographer who blends professionalism with a keen eye for natural shots, Eduardo comes highly recommended.

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.

If you want a photographer that is go with the flow ready for anything MORGAN is your girl! She is very responsive throughout the entire process before the event. She is kind and is always smiling which makes clients smile too! She is a hard worker (she shot a 16 hour day and took over eight thousand photos!!). She is full of energy and always has her camera ready to go at any moment! She is truly such a sweet and kind person! Her photos truly speak for themselves they are beautiful and will last a lifetime! Hire Morgan and you won't regret it!! :)

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.

I have had the unique pleasure of working with Katie both behind the camera and being in front of hers! She is an incredibly talented photographer and an absolute joy to work with.

I have also loved working with her as a fellow photographer. She is very professional, great at working with many brides and grooms and their guests, and has a wonderfully creative eye!

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 was raised in Denver, Colorado. For most of my life, I took for granted the beautiful, jagged landscapes of the Rocky Mountains. It was not until I moved to Africa for a ministry internship after I graduated high school that I started to admire the beauty that constantly surrounded me. This also was when I got my first camera. I took photos to remember my experiences in Africa. This is when I fell in love with the art form. Photography opened my eyes to the beauty that surrounded me everywhere I went. I quickly learned that every person, place, and thing has a good side— you just have to find it.

I believe that love inspires art. Your wedding day will most likely be a blur of joy, nerves, and excitement with some extraordinary moments in between. Using both film and digital mediums, I balance a combination of both editorial and photojournalistic styles with a fine art approach. This collaboration will allow you both to fully enjoy each and every moment, as we tell the story of your wedding day. Wedding photography is an investment that lasts a lifetime, it’s the part of your wedding day that lives on. This is your love story, told in a classic, authentic, and timeless way.

Vanessa has an amazing eye and her work is gorgeous. She's creative, easy to work with, and has an attention to detail that's hard to beat. I couldn't be happier that I had the opportunity to work with her. I highly recommend Vanessa Rose Photography.

I truly cannot wait to meet you and answer any questions you may have.

I wanted to gatekeep cause she's the best photographer in San Diego and I don't want her to get too busy for me.

No one could figure out how to bustle my dress but maze stepped in and literalllyyyy saved my dress. She also fixed my eyelashes when my glue was coming off and made sure my hair was perfect in the photos. A woman of MANY talents! I will forever cherish our photos. As usual they turned out amazing and I could not picked a better photographer to capture our day. I am eternally grateful for you!

Shaun Baker is San Diego’s Premier Wedding Photographer. Shaun grew up studying film/television and the art of story telling. “I love people and I am fascinated by the way we interact. I love the stories that each of us carry around. That’s what makes us all great. I have a need to capture the individuals raw emotions and give it back in a beautiful way. “When the camera is in my hand, normalcy is the furthest thing from my mind. It is normal for me to be in a tree, on a rooftop, or laying on the ground during a wedding so I am always in the best position to get the most creative shot possible. I'm always striving to exceed expectations.

My family has always cherished photos, so I placed a lot of importance on hiring an ace-level photographer for our wedding. And the first time I came across Shaun’s photos online I literally gasped out loud at his stunning work. He truly captured the couples’ and guests’ emotions—and he did the same for ours. Shaun and his partner Annie, of course, took the pre-planned photos we had asked for, but the joy was in the unstaged moments they captured. The photos of our mothers hugging with tears in their eyes, of my grandma dancing and whooping with my friends at the reception, of my now-husband kissing my forehead during our first dance…. they captured moments and emotions we didn’t see or realize were happening that day the first time around, and their work is priceless to us. They put our families at ease with their humor and professionalism, and it was fun to watch them come up with creative ways to capture moments, but it never felt intrusive. Shaun and Annie also completed our photo editing in a fraction of the time that was agreed to in the contract, and sweetened the (short) waiting period with a handful of sneak-peek photos, as well as a 10 minute video slideshow of some of the best photos set to music. It was a lovely way to share memories of the day with friends and family who couldn’t make it and wanted to feel a part of the event. We would recommend them to anyone.

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 did an absolutely beautiful job for both our engagement photos and wedding. She was communicative from start to finish, and sought to understand our style and wishes. I often say my wedding was my Pinterest board come to life, and she played no small role in making my dreams come true :) Her kindness, passion, and thoughtfulness shines through everything she does. All of our friends and family at our wedding commented on how great she was, which speaks to her professionalism and kindness. She managed to capture seemingly every moment, yet I hardly even noticed she was there. It’s truly amazing how much of our special day she was able to capture on camera and film. We are so grateful she was available to be with us on our special day, and will cherish the photos forever! I highly highly recommend her to capture any of your special memories!!! Thank you!!

Hello There! I'm Paige, San Diego Wedding Photographer, Adventure Enthusiast, and Your NEW BEST FRIEND! I am happily married to my Best Friend, Jeff, together we live in Sunny San Diego, California and we rescued the sweetest Pup you will ever see (We might be slightly biased!). We love to travel, camp, hike, and explore together. Does going to Disneyland count as traveling (When you have annual passes)?!

Being amazing at your job is something everyone hopes for. Paige exceeds those expectations daily! Paige goes above and beyond what is expected for a photographer.

I could sit here and write novels about how much I love her and the work she does but, Bottom line is hire Paige Hill for any photography need. You will NEVER regret your decision!

Fueled by equal parts caffeine and passion, I spend my days capturing images that make you stop, smile and wish that time would slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in photographs you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the back patio. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

Cate has been a longtime event photographer for me, and I trust her implicitly with my events. We have a wonderful working relationship and I never worry whether my client's vision or my designs for them will be well represented, and they are flawlessly done. My business would not be as successful as it is if I didn't have her to document what I do and what I can offer to my clients. What I love in particular is her talent for documenting finer details, things that are often overlooked in the larger event scale. I truly appreciate all of her work and can't imagine not having her on my go-to list of product and client services.

This means answering your emails quickly, freely sharing all of my knowledge & expertise with you, and walking alongside you throughout your entire planning process.

Liz is a gem! She is so much fun to work with and truly caring of her clients.

She was so on top of everything and didn’t miss a beat. She has such an amazing and happy easy-go personality that makes working with her so much fun! She captures rad and intimate moments so seamlessly. If you want someone that truly loves what they do and cares about you, she’s your gal!

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.

I love the love!! I am a hopeful romantic! I channel that when shooting weddings, elopements and engagement shoots. I look for the small gestures between you two while you interact, the way you look at one another in utter comfort and confidence, the way you laugh and crack each other up! I love observing how couples embrace and find each other's nooks. This is your person, the one that you can be your complete self with, how cool is that! It sounds corny, but being a wedding and elopement photographer really is a privilege.

Melissa did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos! She is so talented at finding great shots, working with the lighting, and keeping things fun! She was extremely easy to work with, and so flexible when changes happened. She also made sure to check out locations in advance which helped a lot in saving time on the day. She is great at keeping timelines and fitting everything in... and made sure we got photos with everyone there. The pictures came out so beautiful!!! It’s absolutely worth hiring the right photographer because the day goes by so fast, but pictures last forever! We will cherish our wedding and engagement photos for years to come. Thanks for making it such a special and memorable time for us. We highly recommend Melissa!

I fell in love with photography in high school and studied photojournalism in college. Before my wedding photography days, I honed my craft taking portraits – and chasing down breaking news stories for newspapers in my home state of Texas. I’m still a photojournalist at heart; telling your story is the soul of my work. I spend my free time outdoors as much as possible: hiking in the Laguna Mountains, camping in Joshua Tree, swimming at La Jolla Cove, sailing to Catalina Island.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nick has been just fantastic to work with. We had met with him back in the summer of 2019 to discuss and had planned for our wedding for May 2020. Of course we had to pivot and change plans due to COVID, which unfortunately included pushing the date to August (who knew COVID would linger on for so long...). He has been nothing but flexible and understanding throughout the whole process. Working with him on the day of the wedding was seamless - he is a true professional who clearly knows what he is doing. Neither I nor my husband (!!) are too comfortable in front of the camera, but the direction and guidance Nick provided for us made the whole photo-taking experience so much easier and fun! We were also expecting our photos months after our wedding, but they arrived extremely fast! The quality of the photos is just as praise-worthy as Nick's professionalism. The photos are absolutely fantastic and are just perfect. We could not have picked a better photographer to capture this special day for us. 11/10 Recommend!!! If you are reading this and you pick another photographer - YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!

I’m Erin Wiese, a Southern California/Texas based photographer who’s obsessed with storytelling for the wildly in love and the adventurous at heart.

Most days you can find me taking pictures of humans in love, going on walks during golden hour, exploring new places, listening to true crime podcasts, and petting alllllll the dogs. I'm here to make you feel loved, seen, laugh + have a good freaking time. I can’t wait to meet you and hear your story!

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with Erin! We was responsive and on top of things from the beginning. She had such a great attitude and energy, which really eased a lot of our uncomfortable-ness of being in front of a camera. For our engagement photos, she spent a lot of time scouting out the best locations at our venue to ensure we got some really beautiful photos. Which of course we did! For the wedding, she made sure to get every single specific photo I told her was important to me. Even ones I had forgotten about in the moment. I was truly grateful for how patient she was the day of and how organized she was. We’ve only gotten our sneak peek photos but so far but they are incredible! She is so talented and has such a beautiful eye for photography! Book Erin!

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!
