  • Serves Carlsbad, CA

I’m Ashley Checkos, a wedding photographer with a background in management and photography. With 3 years of experience, I bring a detail-oriented, organized, and efficient approach to every event. My philosophy is to see clients through my lens, letting their unique energy set the tone for their day. I’ve worked at diverse venues, from intimate courthouses to grand historic hotels, connecting deeply with each couple to capture their story. I’m excited to create lasting memories of your special day.

I highly recommend MyselfLens for any occasion to take your photos. Ashley is so easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable even when I was 7 months postpartum and didn't love my body. She moved throughout my busy day with ease and it felt like she wasn't even there at times which made it possible for her to catch candid moments. I still look back at my wedding photos in complete awe that she could capture those moments and make them so aesthetically beautiful! She's so professional yet also feels like a friend. I will use her time and time again! She really made me feel like a princess.

When Kristy showed up, Kristy had a plan and activated the plan. Her timing was down to a T!

I don’t just take photos of your wedding to mark the special event. I make sure that when you look back at them in a decade, the soft shadows, lights, and sillouttes in those photographs bring back the nostalgia of the day you got married to your lifelong partner. As my art grows infinitely, I aspire to be meet my greatest potential in my craft. But for now, I believe everyone deserves timeless, quality, and beautiful photographs capturing their special day. So I choose to provide my services to as many as possible for as low as possible.

We feel so lucky to have found Suhana! We originally weren’t planning on hiring a photographer for our Central Park elopement, but booking her turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. From the start, Suhana was incredibly warm, communicative, and thoughtful. She helped us think through timing and logistics, offered helpful suggestions, and even surprised us by showing up early to capture getting-ready photos at our hotel. They are fun, joyful and something we’ll always treasure. Suhana has a true gift for capturing moments as they naturally unfold. If you're looking for beautifully candid, non-rehearsed photos that still feel elevated and artful, she’s your girl. Her presence made the day feel even more special...she was fun, grounding, and genuinely excited for us. She also worked with us to make both film and digital photos fit within our very humble budget, which we really appreciated. Her turn around time with unheard of (less a week from our elopement!!) so we got to enjoy the photos right away. We’re obsessed with our photos - they feel like us in the most magical way. If you are looking for an elopement photographer, do not look further, you will not regret working with Suhana. Check out her work and you’ll see what I mean. Suhana is simply the best.

I cannot recommend Nick enough! He did both our engagement and wedding photos. He is incredibly talented at what he does! He listens and is super patient. (At the time, we had a wiggly 4 year old daughter that he understood had a limited attention span!) We didn't want a ton of still shots of us...and he still managed to get the most important ones on our wedding day. He knew we wanted to capture the fun/touching moments of our day and he did just that. Additionally, our engagement photos were so beautiful too! We plan to use Nick throughout the years as our family grows...thank you so much for locking our most precious day in time!

Hi! I'm Hannah, your So Cal (but traveling) elopement and intimate wedding photographer! I'm so glad you're here. My photography style is a documentary/natural photographer. This means I'm more about documenting your moments and helping you create genuine smiles/moments in photos, opposed to just posing you, i want you to dance and have fun, snuggle into your partner and get those intimate moments. (I'll of course help you figure out what to do with your hands, because lets me honest, even I don't know what to do with my hands in photos. Haha) I love traveling, I love adventure, and I love making friends out of my clients.

Hannah was a wonderful choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, she was quick to respond, pleasant, and inviting in her communication. Her work was above and beyond our expectations - the photos are absolutely beautiful and showcase her skillful eye. She catered to what we wanted, picking out amazing photo spots in various stunning locations. Hannah was so open to our ideas and prioritized our wants and needs throughout the entire process. She captured all the shots we requested, and even some we didn't think of, creating a truly beautiful set of memories from our special day.

Kristina Lee Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Carlsbad, CA

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was referred to Kristina by my wedding venue's coordinator. I was having a destination wedding at a private estate and she had shot several weddings and shoots there before. Knowing that she knew the venue and seeing her work, I knew she was a top contender. Having great quality photos was hugely important to me, and that was something I wasn't willing to sacrifice quality on. Her style was exactly what I wanted—natural, soft, minimally edited, and not overly posed. However, a good wedding photographer is an investment, so I wanted to meet with her first. Luckily, she lives in the same town as I do, so I didn't have to travel to the destination to meet her.When I joined her for a glass of wine, we instantly clicked and I was immediately a YES. Before my husband would sign on the dotted line, he wanted to meet her as well. We met for a 2nd time, all three of us, and he also loved her right away. Having that connection to a photographer is SO important to make you feel comfortable throughout the event and truly trust them (photos are awkward, right?). The day could not have run more smoothly, thanks in large part to Kristina. She made taking photos fun for everyone and our bridal party also fell in love with her. Aside from being fun and personable, she was professional and kept us on a tight timeline. She also made sure we fit everything in on my wishlist: first look, first look with my dad, bridal party photos, family photos, table photos, dancing, the hora...didn't miss ANYTHING. I'm so in love with my photos from that day and so happy to have those lifelong memories. Since then, she's become a great friend. Anytime I want photos taken for a life event, I will ONLY use her. She's taken family holiday photos, photos of my pups, professional photos for my husband, and I will keep using only her for family photos in the future.

I’m a husband to my high school sweetheart, I’m a dad to three gorgeous little girls, and I love my city of Costa Mesa, CA. Me in a nutshell...good coffee, bacon, and whiskey are my jam. A perfect day off consists of a mountain bike ride, some tacos, and swimming in our pool with my wife and daughters. I spent over 8 years in jobs that sucked the life out of me, but now I have one that breathes life back into me. You see, photography is not my identity…but it's definitely an extension of how I was created to see life. And I got into capturing meaningful moments because I am all about the life behind the moment, not just the event.

She had great direction when we felt awkward posing but she would make us feel comfortable to let go and really take in the moment. We noticed her talents through yellow paddle photography and through them I was able to pick out who fit best as well as style in photography and we are so happy to have found her.

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

I'm a portrait photographer capturing love & beauty in sunny southern California & beyond. I believe being able to freeze a moment in time to look back on and cherish again is such a beautiful gift. As a kid, my family would host gatherings at home often, and I would pause and blink my eyes really hard trying to take a “photo” in my mind during the fun. Haha :) I never wanted the time spent with loved ones to end. In college, when I tried searching for what I wanted to study and become, I was reminded of those memories - the things that brought great elation, the things that felt like home. I want to capture moments like that for you, too.

We had a fantastic time with Alex. This was our family's first photo shoot and Alex went above and beyond, helping us feel comfortable and have fun while getting our pictures taken. I was especially thankful for how thoughtful she was in finding ways to keep our toddler entertained and engaged during our photo session. I would highly recommend her for any photo needs. Can't wait to book with her again! -SF
