We had the best experience with Mia, Laron, and Nafas for our August wedding at the Old Rancho Estate in Carlsbad. They were such a fun and professional team to work with, capturing both candid and posed moments beautifully. They made us feel at ease, and their guidance helped us look and feel our best throughout the day. They were also super efficient, keeping everything on schedule while making sure we didn’t feel rushed. The package pricing was competitive, and we’re thrilled with the value we received. We highly recommend Mia and her team for anyone looking for talented photographers who bring both creativity and joy to your big day. We’d happily work with them again!

Born in the Netherlands, I grew up in 4 time zones, 3 countries and 2 continents, but finally put my roots down here in SoCal. Now my husband, our two dreamboat kids, our fur-baby, (and the box turtle I've had since I was 10) live in a little beach town just north of San Diego. By day I'm beach bound, but in the evenings I'm often editing away, though you might also catch me making jewelry, curled up on the couch watching re-runs of Schitt's Creek. I consider myself a Citizen of the World and use my dual passports to experience as much of it as I can. Next stop: Bali for our 10-year. Some day: an African Safari!

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’m Cecilia, a photographer, entrepreneur, and creator. For me, photography is more than just my job, it’s a central part of who I am. Since I was a kid I’ve felt the need to document life as I see it, to capture beautiful moments that last. I am so in love with this art form in every sense. It brings me such joy and fulfillment to be able to document people’s stories and bring them to life through my lens. At the end of the day, I do this job out of love. Love for people, the earth, and connection. I want to capture who you are as people. Your energy and vibrancy are at the heart of what I do and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cecelia is everything you want in a wedding photographer - professional, creative, approachable, chill, and very intuitive as to reading you and your partner while taking photos. With natural direction, she let us be in the moment and captured the magic of just us being us. She made us feel very comfortable and our photos did not feel posed or forced, she was amazing at giving direction for a pose and letting us sink into it, capturing a lot of natural candid in-between moments - which is what I was wanting! She has a genuine light about her and puts so much heart into her work, and it shows. We met Cecelia through Instagram and had her take our styled engagement photos. She was very communicative beforehand and was responsive to my personal vision for the photos. She helped with wardrobe choices, met us on location, was a joy to be around. She also delivered our photo gallery in a very timely fashion. Oh and the photos - WE. WERE. BLOWN. AWAY. They were everything we wanted, and her edits were perfection - not too much, and still captured what the light looked like that evening. We are so glad Cecelia was able to capture these unforgettable moments in our life, we can’t thank her enough!

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.

Not enough positive things can be said about this lady - she is just phenomenal. She made the whole day so smooth & really listened to what my Fiancé and I were looking for in our photos. She gave us suggestions & just made us feel so comfortable. She is also like the ultimate hype girl - she made me feel so beautiful all day! She just goes above and beyond in every aspect of her job - she really prioritizes her couples. She made sure to ask in advance about what photos were important to us, what group shots we wanted, and what we wanted our timeline to look like. She arrived early, she left late, and ran on all cylinders the entire day. Oh and our engagement photos were beautiful & made us both so comfortable with her on our wedding day. I can’t say enough good things & I believe I found both a friend & photographer for life!

I started with shooting landscapes to portraits and have expanded to wedding photography + videography 3 years ago and it was the most. fulfilling. decision ever!!

Cristina was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! From start to finish she was hands on, very communicative and just a doll to work with. I was going back and forth on whether or not I could afford video for my wedding day. I went back and forth and finally did all the research and found Cristina since she was in my budget. It was weeks leading up to my wedding and I kept changing the length of time I would need Cristina and she was so very professional and sweet and very patient with me. Fast forward to the wedding day and Cristina was just as sweet in person and I was super excited that I decided yes on video. The night after my wedding I had my sneak peak already in my inbox…talk about FAST. Then two months went by and we had THE BEST video full of the best moments from our wedding day. People who didn’t attend the wedding that watched the video felt as if they were there. I can’t thank Cristina enough for capturing the best day of my life.

From the start, they were clear, concise and detailed in their communication, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of our wedding, they helped us stay on schedule without ever feeling rushed, capturing all the special moments we wanted. The final photos exceeded our expectations - they have a true talent for framing shots and highlighting the natural beauty of the day. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Berlynn Photography to any couple looking for a talented, professional photography team to document their big day.

I'M PARIS! I'M A FULL-TIME WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, ADVENTURE SEEKER, AND PURVEYOR OF HEARTFELT MOMENTS. I AM BASED OUT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND AM GRATEFUL TO CALL SUNNY SAN DIEGO MY HOME. I LOVE TO WITNESS LOVE AND FREEZE FLEETING MOMENTS THROUGH IMAGES THAT UNFOLD TO BE YOUR STORY. THE BEST MOMENTS OF YOUR LIFE, FROZEN IN TIME, FOREVER.

Paris Karsh Photography is always so wonderful to work with on our bride's big days! We've been blessed to have several weddings with her and her team and every time, they go so smoothly! The quality of her work is absolutely beautiful and it's always so exciting to see photos after each wedding. As a fellow vendor, Paris is such a pleasure to be around which sadly isn't always the case with many vendors we've encountered. However, her kindness, professionalism, and understanding of the hair and makeup space help make it so easy for us to complete our job before she fully takes over and works her magic! You can tell Paris truly loves what she does and is amazing at helping couples feel comfortable in front of the camera, which results in stunning, natural-looking photos that can be cherished forever.
