Zeus Holbrook Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Calipatria, CA

I came to wedding photography after 14 years managing large-scale events at the San Diego Maritime Museum. That job taught me to stay calm when timelines collapse and find the shot when nothing goes to plan. I shoot weddings and engagements across San Diego and Temecula with a style that puts you in the scene — photos that feel alive, like you could step back into the moment. Easy direction, no stiff poses. Just you, actually feeling it, while I capture the rest.

Zeus was able to find me a location to propose to my now wife. I flew out from Ohio and had no clue where to go. He scouted a location and he sent a video of the area for me. I was nervous but he told me how to help him capture the moment. The photos were loved by all of my family

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

We enjoyed the overall experience with Indigo West from the start. He understood our preference for mostly candid photography and he did mostly that, leaving us plenty of time to mingle with guests. The photos he did direct we also loved it was nice he kept that quick, which made it very easy for us! Very happy with this vendor!

I’m Kirstin! An emotionally driven, film-forward wedding photographer based in the desert Southwest. I work with wildly-in-love couples who want their wedding to feel like them: artful, offbeat, deeply intentional. I photograph elopements and micro-weddings with a storytelling lens- capturing not just how your day looked, but how it felt. My work blends digital + 35mm film to preserve the honest, unposed, heart-full moments in all their textured, tear-filled, windswept beauty. My couples tend to be nostalgic, a little nontraditional, and full of feeling. If that’s you- you’re in the right place.

As someone who works with a lot of wedding vendors, I can honestly say Kristin is a true gem. If you want memories that feel timeless and beautiful, she’s the one. Wholeheartedly recommend - 10/10!

We are incredibly grateful Xenia was our engagement/wedding photographer and couldn't be happier with the results! The photos will speak to her technical talent; her professionalism and dedication to her craft are evident in every shot. It was so hard for me to only select 6 photos. What the images don't explicitly show is that Xenia was an absolute joy to work with. She is clear, transparent, and helpful in her communication. Her straightforward and friendly communication ensured we were always on the same page and felt supported throughout the process. While shooting, she is organized and efficient. We got every shot we hoped for and then some. Her enthusiasm and joy were infectious. She made these two awkward nerds feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We cannot recommend Xenia enough! We will cherish the photos you took forever!

Hi! I'm Jess, a wedding photographer based in Southern California. I'm passionate about wedding photography and making this experience positive and unforgettable for my clients. Whether your celebration is an intimate gathering or a grand event, I focus on telling your story in a way that feels genuine and effortless. My favorite moments to capture during wedding days are the grandparent hugs, parent reactions and that walk back down the aisle full of happiness after saying your I do's.

My husband and I hired Jess to do our engagement/wedding photos and we are so happy with the results!! Jess is lovely to work with and had great communication throughout the process. My husband and I are both very awkward in front of the camera but she did an amazing job guiding us through different poses and capturing flattering angles. She has a good eye for picking out photo ops/backdrops and caught all of the special moments at our wedding. Not to mention, I absolutely love her editing style; it's classy and timeless and not overdone. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a quality photographer they can trust!!

Ozan Ulucan Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with Ozan, his communication was comprehensive, outgoing and clear. It was evident he has a creative, artistic eye that would capture our day in a unique way. On the wedding day, Ozan arrived early and hit the ground running, snapping photos right away and keeping up the energy and pace throughout the entire event. His experience shone through as he was comfortable facilitating numerous group photos and offering great suggestions on positioning. Ozan also scoped out the venue ahead of time and brought us to multiple spots for one-of-a-kind photos we hadn't even thought of taking on our own. The final edited photos were delivered quickly after the wedding, and the quality was truly professional and a cut above the rest. We received so many photos organized by different times during the wedding including getting ready, ceremony, portraits, family portraits, reception, night, and details including photos of our venue, flowers, and place settings. We are thrilled with the memories Ozan was able to create for us through his exceptional work.

Hello there! I’m Brittany, a San Diego based wedding and elopement photographer who loves to travel all over the globe! I’m just a human first who's a sucker for connection. I’m not here to stage manage your relationship or turn your day into a styled shoot...or worse, something fabricated to go viral on the ‘gram. Your real life is so, so much more important. I’m here to witness what’s already there and hold up a giant mirror to it. Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or a cliffside elopement just the two of you, my goal is to create a relaxed, welcoming space focused on the unique, ordinary details that make your connection yours. If that’s what you’re looking for, then I would truly love nothing more than to hear from you!
