We could not have asked for a better photography and videography team for our wedding reception! Bayo was truly a mind reader — constantly in the right place at the right time and somehow captured every special moment without ever feeling staged or forced. Arlene worked quietly behind the scenes, capturing every emotional, joy-filled detail so naturally that it feels like we’re reliving the night every time we watch our video. Their professionalism, creativity, and teamwork made the entire experience effortless. We’ll cherish these memories forever!

The Sound Originals team were fantastic people to work with, not only due to their professionalism, but also because they were great people to have around. They were extremely comfortable and friendly while working with us and taking photos. Even when it came down to the dogs, 2 of which were panicking because they are rescues and being around so many people stressed them out, this didn't even phase the Sound Originals team which impressed me the most. Their professionalism with their gear was truly amazing to see (we have some professional photographers in our family who were commenting on this too), you could tell they knew how to handle their equipment. One thing that I loved was that they took the time to create cute photogenic moments to capture with the camera that would normally be over so fast, you would probably miss it. Every photo, from the goofy spur of the moment reactions - to the posed adorable moments, came out beautifully. Thank you Sound Originals for working with us! We couldn't have asked for better photographers.

Hi there! I'm Khoa, a San Diego based wedding photographer who enjoys spending time with good people and road trips. I love all things weddings because witnessing couples' happiness brings me joy and fuels my creativity. I want to create photographs that can stand the test of time so couples can relive their day years from now and for generations to come.

As photographers ourselves, it takes a lot of trust to feel comfortable with another person doing the job. Khoa not only met our expectations but exceeded them and we recommend him highly to everyone. Not only did he make us feel so at ease, but he was so kind, patient, and professional. Khoa helped make our wedding day so effortless and we thank him greatly for that. From the minute he arrived, myself, my husband, and all of our loved ones felt so comfortable with Khoa. Thank you, Khoa, for everything - your professionalism, patience, great direction, photography knowledge, kindness, we could go on and on! We look forward to working with Khoa in the future. Don’t hesitate to find any other photographer – Khoa is THE ONE!

PHOTOGRAPHER/DRONE PILOT - Katie Doner - Drawn to the arts since I was young, my passion continued into college, where I studied for my BA in Fine Arts. My love of photography found me unexpectedly in high school. I fell in love with every aspect of it. You can find me traveling the world, surfing or photographing beauty & love wherever I find it. PHOTOGRAPHER-Joey Licata  As a child, I dabbled with my mom’s film camera, and my interest in the craft never waned. Following years of graduate work, I taught myself photography. My camera grants me freedom and joy. Behind its lens, I observe and find beauty in the unscripted, capturing raw emotion

Enlightened Scorpio Studio was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, the photographers were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process.

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

We used Carlsbad Photo for our wedding and our photographer Irina was phenomenal. Neither my husband nor I were very comfortable with having our pictures taken and she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed for both our engagement and wedding. She took so many beautiful candid photographs and gave direction to make our pictures look both beautiful and natural. She was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her.I chose Carlsbad Photo before I even picked my dress! When you meet people with a good heart who are loving life, everything around them is that much better. Why would you not want someone like that shooting your special day when you are surrounded by everyone you love? Her energy enhances everything and she will make you laugh so much! She will help you with questions beyond photos for your big day - she has a lot of experience and literally knows everything about weddings! She was pretty much our coordinator. She instructed us when to stop and kiss after we headed out of the isle, how to cut the cake, and even how to toss my bouquet to get the most beautiful pictures!!!And to me, the best part of booking Irina is that you will have someone on your special day who truly is the TEAM BRIDE!

Eduardo was very nice to work with since the beginning. He is very kind and professional and just does a great job without adding any stress. He provided some portfolios of previous work he had done, which were very photo journalistic, not just the posed shots, and we knew he was the one! He definitely has an eye for placement, reflections, and catching people’s authenticity. He spent the whole wedding day with us, from getting ready all the way till the sparkler exit. I never even saw him take a break. He even ran with us to get some sunset photos at a nearby vineyard while guests were having dinner. He even got some good shots of everyone on the dance floor without being too in your face, I didn’t even notice he was there! We got all of the photos we wanted and more. Eduardo definitely doesn’t treat his clients as a number, he understands the importance of the day and ensures that he captures it in a way that tells the story of the day. Highly recommend Eduardo for your photography needs!

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.

Working with Katie for our wedding was an absolute dream!! Her communication was perfect, efficient, clear, and professional from start to finish.

I would recommend Katie to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer who will capture the beauty and joy of their special day!!

From the very first email to the delivery of our final gallery, Brittany made the entire process feel effortless. She was responsive, organized, and genuinely excited for us, which made us feel so supported and cared for. Every step of the way, she communicated clearly and made sure we felt confident and comfortable. What stood out the most was how personal she made the experience. She remembered the little details we mentioned, checked in to see how we were doing, and made us feel like our wedding was just as important to her as it was to us. Those thoughtful touches made us feel extra special and truly valued as clients. During our session, Brittany was such a calming and encouraging presence. She guided us when we needed direction but also gave us space to be ourselves. We never felt awkward in front of the camera because she created an environment that was fun, natural, and full of genuine joy. I hope we get a chance to work with Brittany again someday, and I know that anyone else who does will absolutely love their photos like we do.

We are beyond thrilled that we chose Linda as our photographer for our intimate ceremony! From the very first conversation, she made everything feel so personal and special. She answered every question we had and guided us through the entire process with such care. It honestly felt like she was part of our day, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Linda’s professionalism was incredible. She knew exactly where to position us for the best shots and how to make us feel at ease in front of the camera. We completely trusted her, and the results speak for themselves — the photos are absolutely stunning! What sets Linda apart, though, is how warm, friendly, and easy-going she is. It was like having a friend there with us. We are so in love with the photos she captured — they’re just perfect. If I could offer one small suggestion (though it’s really not a critique of Linda), it would be to have someone there to help with the dress — adjusting it and making sure everything stays just right. Overall, Linda truly exceeded our expectations in every way. We’re beyond grateful for her and so happy we chose her to document such a special day!

Freshly landed from Paris, France. Christophe has been a travel photographer for the past ten years and decided to expand his creative horizons toward white dresses and bow ties here in California. His European touch will definitely bring something special to your wedding day.

I worked with Heather and her team for the day of wedding planning and Christophe was our photographer for the day. They were both amazing. They are detail oriented, professional, and kept us on schedule throughout the day. Despite having a more “difficult” wedding venue (military base), they made everything as easy as it could be with all of our vendors. Christophe went above and beyond to get beautiful photos that we will be able to look back on for the rest of our lives and remember our special day. He also took care to get some very sentimental photos with my father’s military uniform. You won’t regret hiring them, but you’ll definitely be missing out if you don’t.

I am really passionate about my job. I love meeting and connecting with people. Making them laugh and having fun during the photo session is one of my main purposes. I love when clients they tell me they don't like to have their pictures taken, that is a challenge; and I promise I will change their minds. When you put your heart and soul in what you do, everything comes naturally.

Despite COVID making us change plans constantly, YC photography with Yrsina made it less stressful to plan and a no brainer to use her for our special day. She will fight for that perfect shot, telling random people strolling by to step to the side or get out the shot while still being professional. She is a joy to work with and will make sure to capture your memories to look back on for years to come.

As a documentary wedding photographer, I’m here to capture your day exactly as it unfolds—real, unposed, and full of heart. Whether you're getting married in San Diego or halfway across the world, I focus on the honest moments that make your story yours. With a blend of film and digital, I craft galleries that feel timeless, cinematic, and true to the day.

Teresa was so great to work with! We booked her as our wedding photographer, and it was everything we dreamed of and more! Leading up to the wedding, the process was extremely easy and clear. Teresa was always prompt in answering emails and happy to jump on a FaceTime call to discuss any questions or talk through the day ahead of time. We already thought she had a beautiful portfolio, and when talking together, she understood the vision of telling the story of the day through an artistic and romantic lens. On the day, she was super easy to work with, and when the timeline ran long due to other factors, she stayed calm and we figured out a way to rework the timeline to get what we needed. We felt very comfortable with her, and she helped direct us into some poses to get some amazing shots. We received our sneak peeks just about a week later and were blown away. Friends and family said they looked like they were out of Vogue or Vanity Fair. We're so excited to see the rest, and would definitely recommend!

Hey there, I'm Ben! I believe photography is not just about clicking the shutter at the right moment. It's about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotion, the feeling, and the story behind it. My style is all about telling stories of love, laughter, tears, joy, and all the beautiful chaos in between. Just like your wedding day, every photo shoot is a unique, amazing, and important experience. That's why I pour my heart and soul into creating and capturing the special moments that make each photo shoot memorable. I'm not just taking pictures, I'm crafting narratives. We're not just making photos, we're making memories.

I don’t even know where to begin with how grateful I am for Ben. From the moment we started working together, he brought such warmth, patience, and kindness to the experience. He wasn’t just professional—he was calming, grounding, and genuinely supportive during moments when I felt overwhelmed or stressed. There’s something truly special about someone who can quiet your nerves with just a few words and guide you through the process with such ease. He made me feel seen, comfortable, and confident, and that meant more to me than he probably realizes. And the photos? They are beyond anything I could have hoped for. He didn’t just capture images; he captured emotion, connection, and memories I’ll cherish forever. If you’re searching for someone who has both extraordinary talent and an extraordinary heart, Ben is the one. I cannot recommend him enough.

Hi, I'm Joni! I've been photographing couples for over 10 years now and I just can't seem to get enough of it! My warm, bubbly personality always seems to keep EVERYONE in good spirits throughout the wedding day! I’m a calming force when things start to get stressful and ready to keep the energy up to dance the night away together! Sometimes wedding days don't go exactly as planned. I’m extremely flexible and prepared to provide expert, judgment-free guidance to help you pivot and get right back to having the time of your life!

Joni was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication was efficient, timely, and kind throughout the planning process, which helped keep things running smoothly. On the big day, Joni brought a wonderful energy while capturing countless beautiful, timeless photos that we will treasure forever. She has such a talent for making couples feel comfortable in front of the camera. You can tell photography is her passion! Joni helped ensure the day flowed well by directing us for photos while making the process fun. We were thrilled when she delivered a full wedding album to us in just a few short weeks after our wedding. The turnaround time was unbelievably fast! Overall, Joni is a gem and we couldn't be happier that she was able to photograph our special day.

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).

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked alongside Kayley at a bridal shoot in Seattle. Kayley is a complete professional and had excellent communication when she was coordinating the event. I saw that she was able to execute a beautiful vision and work well with all the vendors and people involved in the shoot. I really enjoyed working with her, and her works speaks for itself. She made the day even more fun and I would 100% recommend Kayley to photograph any special moment in your life.

Shaun Baker Photography

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shaun takes the most gorgeous photos while capturing the authenticity and emotion behind the wedding day! After being part of several wedding parties with overly-posed photos, we knew we wanted a photographer who captures the real moments, facial expressions, and joy of a wedding day. Shaun did all of that and more! The photos turned out absolutely incredible, he has an amazing personality and has a way to put anyone in front of the camera at ease. Not only that, half the time we forgot the cameras were even there, which meant we got to be in the moment at our wedding and soak it all in. Now the only problem is figuring out which of the photos to print as canvas wall art because there are so many good ones!
