Katie Clare Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Descanso, CA

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. The quality of their work was truly magical, dreamy, out of this world, and amazing. I never felt like she didn't know exactly what she was doing. I would recommend Katie to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer who will capture the beauty and joy of their special day!!

  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves Descanso, CA

Hey there, I'm DJ Preston! My DJ journey began at 15, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. Starting in 1995, I spun tracks for school dances, bars, and clubs, then moved into radio, spending 8 years on air. I've performed at award shows, corporate events, weddings, and traveled the country for nightclub gigs, even sharing stages with big-name artists. Recently, I was honored as one of the best wedding DJs in San Diego by California Wedding Day in 2024. I love creating unforgettable atmospheres where everyone can dance and have an amazing time.

We interviewed several DJ's before settling on DJ Preston for our wedding at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We were impressed with Preston's responses to our interview, we could tell he cared about attention to detail and enjoyed his craft. On the day of the wedding Preston was an absolute professional. The music was the perfect volume from pre-ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The audio for all speeches was perfect as well. I heard from several of our guests "the DJ was great!" so what else is there to say? I didn't have much banter with Preston before or after the wedding, but if you're looking for a professional who pays attention to the details and delivers a great set, then Preston is your guy! He did a great job reading the vibe for our dollar dance and facilitating an amazing night. Thanks Preston!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Colman as our wedding photographer! We can't stop looking at all the beautiful photos from our wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum, a somewhat atypical venue that Colman (and his second photographer Miro) did a great job shooting at. Colman is so friendly and really put us at ease thoughout the whole process, and was flexible in accommodating our desire to balance some great posed photos with also having plenty of time to enjoy ourselves and talk to our guests. He was also extraordinarily generous in taking several glamour shots of our guests which have been so fun to send out to our loved ones. We also appreciated the included engagement shoot prior to the wedding, which aside from the photos provided an opportunity for us to get to know Colman a little before the hectic wedding day. Colman shoots on both film and digital, which we love, and the product is the perfect combination of elevated and natural. We have some gorgeous traditional shots, some really fun ones, and several beautifully artistic ones that we'll cherish forever. They feel timeless and capture all the joy of our wedding day. We are so grateful and highly recommend Colman!

I’m a small town girl living in the big city of San Diego. You know the saying, “Home is where the heart is?” For me it has two meanings. If home is a physical place, mine is the magical little town where I was born – Ojai, California. It is a place where people can breathe deep and feel the wholeness of their lives. It's a magical little valley of peace happiness. If home is truly where the heart is, then mine is my family. In 2016, I married my best friend and the father of our beautiful son and daughter. We are a squad of awesomeness and those three hold my heart in the palm of their hands.

Morgan will be your best friend, wedding planner and confidant aside from taking the most beautiful pictures!!

On the wedding day, she handled setup and styling with such care and professionalism. Every detail was perfect, and walking into the finished space felt like stepping into my dream. Emily is sweet, calming, and so easy to work with. Dainty Daydream is a truly special company, and having her as part of our vendor team was one of the best decisions we made.

My name is Chelsea Ravansari, owner and artist of Chelsea Rose Beauty. I've been working in the beauty industry as a hair & makeup artist for 10+ years. I am also now a self-care coach. I create calming pampering experiences for brides in the chair and coach them through bridal wellness outside of the chair. Please stay in touch with me on Instagram!

Chelsea came to my house during the holidays for my HMU trial (that alone was so kind -- I had a limited amount of time in SD and she was so accommodating!!). I was so thrilled with the results -- I don't have a lot of experience with makeup and honestly didn't provide a lot of "inspo" but she took what I had and ran. I felt so beautiful while also feeling/looking like myself (which sometimes is not always the case with glam haha). Her attention to detail was amazing, and she accentuated my natural features. And the hair...ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I felt so confident going into my engagement photos, and I cannot wait for my actual wedding day (and I'll follow up with a review then!). If you want to feel pampered and have a caring professional who will listen to your wants and needs and make you look AMAZING...Chelsea is your gal! I just know my friends and family will also love working with her on the big day :)

Oh my gosh I don’t even know where to begin… I received so many compliments from my guests saying how much they looooved listening and seeing Durell perform on our wedding day. Durell is so easy to work with and communicate with! There was a lot of back and forth of music playing between him and my DJ and Durell never complained once and collaborated so well with my DJ. However, the best part was we wanted to do a mash up of 2 songs my husband and I love as our First Dance and Durell created one for us! It was sooo great! It made our First Dance that much more magical and memorable. He accommodated all of my wishes and he was truly the highlight of our wedding! We had Durell perform my husband’s processional song (which Durell learned a new song for!!! How awesome is that!?), our cocktail hour, our first dance and continue performing music during the first half of our dinner. Please hire Durell for any Wedding (or any other) event!!

We then completed a questionnaire that was used to tell our love story. I was genuinely taken aback at the heartfelt way our answers wove together to tell the story of our relationship. I should also mention how meaningful it was that our final tarot card that we pulled was The Heirophant - literally the marriage card. It made our ceremony feel even more magical! We are so grateful for her involvement in making our day perfect — and we are glad to call her Aunt Heidi!

Lot 8 was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we started working with Kim and the team, their communication was attentive and they were incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process. On the day of, we did not have to worry about a single thing - the staff took care of everything seamlessly. The venue itself was the best value, with ample space for our 160 guests. The food from Eco Catering was delicious, and our photography team of Kristin and Mike captured all the special moments beautifully. DJ Harmz kept the dance floor packed all night long, and we and our guests had the greatest time celebrating our special day at Lot 8. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue!

Within the first 10 minutes of our first tour, we knew this was where we wanted to have our special day. The venue is beautiful, and they provide so much. They also do a wedding showcase and have tons of great local vendors, which are great for giving great ideas for your event. Lauren was such a great help in making all the planning as easy as possible; we truly couldn't have done it without all that she did for us.
