I knew right then and there that she was going to be our person! Jonathan and I are not a photogenic couple, we are awkward and hate being the center of attention. We met Lauren and Toby the day of our wedding and automatically felt comfortable.

Have you ever met someone you just knew immediately was your person? We bet you have since you're here now! In 2015, Paul was the photographer at Crystal’s younger brother’s wedding, where she was a bridesmaid. We loved everything about that special day, but from the moment we locked eyes it was like time stood still. We knew then and there that we just hit the jackpot! Not only did we meet at a wedding, but we have both been in the events industry for well over a decade. Paul Douda Photography & Video offers full service wedding coverage for your big day in San Diego and beyond! We love to travel and destination weddings are a favorite!

“We were looking for a photographer to capture our wedding day. We had specific requests one of them being we wanted the photos to be of the actual day as it was happening, not staged photos. Paul heard our request and went about the wedding mostly unnoticed, except where the group shots or special moments needed to be memorable. Crystal did the Video OMG. She captured everything we asked for and more. And the video trailer she made for us, wow!!! The first time I watched it I was thinking is this for real!!! Way over and above what we expected! I watch it all probably once a month. The first month 20 times a day and I still cry.. I love to send the video link to friends and Family. She made us look so good. Chad my husband and I went to a wedding show at the Grant hotel and literally search high and low for a photographer. Everyone had a package to sell, however no one listened to what we were trying to capture. When I said we search high and low I mean it. We found Crystal in the basement of the hotel, Chad fell in love with crystal first, being next to a brewery stand probably helped!! She listened to everything we were trying to accomplish for our special day. Even customized a special package based on our requests. Nothing was ever a problem or issue. The final results,Love these guys!!!!!!! Literally trust them for your day let them spoil you like they did for us. You will NOT be disappointed, not one bit!!!!!!!!!!”

Hiii! I'm Kayley and I'm so glad you're here. I’m energized by meeting new people, so please say hello! I’m a go with the flow kind of person – which explains my love for spontaneous trips and the excitement of weddings. I love to dance and have a good time (seriously, I WILL be out there on the dance floor with you).

“Kayley was recommended to me by a good friend who had worked with her for years. To say that I was impressed with her work would be an understatement - she blew me away. Not only did she fit within my budget needs, she came up with a plan that captured everything I wanted. My husband had a photographer there when he proposed, so we didn't do the traditional engagement and then wedding sessions. We ended up with an amazing motorcycle couples shoot, a boudoir shoot, and wedding coverage. Kayley was quick on her feet at our wedding - we had 300 guests spread out across a decent sized park with multiple buildings. She not only kept up, she also kept it together during an insane thunder storm at the end of the night! It was such a lovely and easy experience for my husband and I while we planned such a large wedding, we will definitely be coming back to her for future photography needs!”

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.

“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!”

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!”

“This photography team exceeded all our expectations! From the beginning, their communication was fantastic and they were quick to answer any questions we had. Their affordable pricing made us feel like we’d found a real gem and the artistic quality of the photos was beyond what we’d imagined. Plus, they delivered everything so quickly! We’re so grateful to have had them capture our wedding day and can’t recommend them enough.”

Hi there! I'm Taylor, I've been a professional commercial photographer for around 7 years now. I'm just starting my shift to the wedding and engagement space so I'd love the opportunity to give you an amazing wedding or engagement photo shoot for a great value to get that side of my portfolio started!

“TS Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Their communication style was professional, kind, warm, and friendly from the very first time we spoke with them. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - the photos are absolutely stunning, with a beautiful, moody quality that captures the emotion of our special day perfectly. Taylor, the lead photographer, had a happy, warm presence and was extremely well-organized, making the entire experience easy and comfortable. He was on top of everything and his warm personality put us at ease. The final photos turned out incredible, and we couldn't be happier with the 5-star service provided by TS Photography. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.”

“Miranda and Trevor are the ultimate wedding dream team, and they make you feel like one of their friends! We booked them for an engagement shoot and our wedding, which I highly recommend doing to help get you and your fiance comfortable with them and in front of the camera. At the engagement shoot, my fiance and I were a little nervous as we'd never done professional photos before, but Miranda and Trevor made us feel so at ease, and the photos look absolutely phenomenal. Miranda was also a huge help with developing my timeline -- I had a number of requests and was stressed about how quick the day would go especially with an early sunset time, but she helped me manage the schedule beautifully so on the day, we actually ended up having a little bit of extra time and never felt rushed! The whole wedding day was totally relaxed, and she and Trevor captured the BEST shots.”
