“Lulan created our pre-wedding ceremony photos at Caesar's Palace and the Botanical Garden at the Bellagio. Lulan outdid himself on this day in 103-degree weather.

Our elopement took place on a very cold and windy day, but somehow our pictures turned out looking like we were having the time of our lives in the most comfortable of settings. She also works with you on any specific requests you may have, she doesn’t stick to just one style.

“We booked Katherine to shoot our wedding day, which also came with an engagement shoot session, and we cannot recommend her enough! Within the first few minutes of our engagement session we immediately could tell we were in good hands and that our pictures would be amazing. Seeing how incredible our engagement shoot turned out only made us more excited for our wedding day. Katherine was so amazing to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She was professional and punctual and even gave us great advice when discussing other areas of our wedding! Our family and friends could not stop complimenting her direction and vision the day of the wedding and Katherine was so willing to look through some inspo photos I sent her prior to the day and looked for ways to recreate them at our venue. We were absolutely floored by her work when we received the photos back. The images are so crisp and the colors are gorgeous and she gave us so much variety! It is going to be so hard to decide which photos we want to hang on our walls!”

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.

I’m a people person. I’m observant, intuitive, and deeply inspired by real connection. I care about experiences, emotion, and the kind of moments that can’t be staged. I love photography because it’s storytelling in its purest form. It’s the ability to capture energy, emotion, and meaning in a split second. What drives me is creating images that go beyond aesthetics — photos that hold memory, movement, and feeling. For me, photography is about preserving what’s real, so you can return to it again and again.

“Maya exceeded every expectation. Her eye for detail, light, and emotion is truly exceptional. She captured our wedding day with such elegance and authenticity — every image feels intentional, refined, and full of feeling. Beyond her talent, Maya is professional, kind, and a joy to work with. Our gallery is timeless, emotional, and absolutely stunning. We would book her again in a heartbeat.”

“Kristen has long been our go to photographer I’m San Diego, CA. From maternity, to newborn, and even large group family photos we have always felt at ease and comfortable working with her. Not only does Kristen put everybody at ease, but she laughs, coaches, and encourages along the way. Flashback to 2012 when 23 year old Nina and 28 year old Brian decided to get married after knowing each other for 6 months, we did so quietly, secretly, and without the love and support we needed. We had always said we would do a ceremony and time seemed to be slipping by with constant military deployments, two adorable boys, and family heath concerns. In Jan 2022 we decided we had to do it on our 10 year anniversary in March. If you can’t tell spontaneity is kind of our thing. Before we secured the venue or picked our attire we called Kristen, we knew that not only would she be able to capture our day and energy perfectly but also help us with the details. Kristen helped guide our decisions in outfits, flowers, where we would stand for Vows, and made sure day of we got pictures with every person. The day was perfect, every person there was free to be themselves, including the kids, and Kristen was able to capture the beautiful unique energy of ever being.”

I'm Mirjana, a San Diego photographer specializing in elopements, intimate weddings, and surprise proposals. I've photographed nearly 500 couples over the years, and I still love the part of photography that happens in between the “big moments” — the nervous laughs, the little looks, the hugs, and everything that makes a day feel like yours. I photograph throughout San Diego and Southern California, and I'm also available for Joshua Tree elopements and destination elopements throughout California. I’m here for couples who want beautiful photographs but don't want their entire day to feel like a photoshoot.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mirjana and Replica Photography, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She has such an incredible ability to make you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, even if posing doesn’t come naturally to you. She guides you through everything while still making the photos feel natural, effortless, and completely like you. She also has an amazing eye for locations and scenery. She knows exactly how to choose the right setting, find the best light, and use the surroundings to create absolutely beautiful photos. Every session we’ve done with her has felt relaxed and fun, and somehow she always manages to capture those little candid moments in between the posed ones that end up being some of my favorites. Beyond being incredibly talented, Mirjana is warm, patient, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in the people she photographs. I can confidently say that I would trust her with any important milestone or special occasion. She has a way of capturing not just how a moment looked, but how it felt. Anyone choosing her to photograph their elopement or intimate wedding will be in wonderful hands. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

“Hailey and David do an incredible job! My photos are beautiful and perfect. They are easy to be around, creative, and really on top of it throughout the whole day. They had great communication when it came to giving directions for different poses and provided tons of positive feedback for me and my husband which really put us at ease. I had a ton of friends and family who mentioned how great they were throughout the day, which made me happy we chose them to be our photographers. I would recommend them to anyone!”

At SD Wedding Films, photography is about preserving more than how your wedding looked—it should bring you back to how it felt. Our photographers blend genuine candid moments with comfortable, natural direction, creating polished images without making the day feel like a production. From the quiet anticipation of getting ready through the energy of the reception, we thoughtfully document the people, emotions, and details that make your celebration entirely your own.

“Gleimlight Photography & Productions was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was prompt, clear, and they were easy to reach throughout the planning process. The quality of their work is truly exceptional - the photos and video they captured are absolutely beautiful and comprehensive, perfectly preserving every special moment of our wedding day. Christina and Jacob have an incredible eye for detail and elegance, and we received our full gallery so quickly after the event. We would highly recommend Gleimlight to any couple looking for a talented and professional photography and videography team to help document their special day. They did an amazing job for us and we are thrilled with the results!”

I’m a wedding photographer based in Southern California, capturing natural, emotional, and unposed moments. My approach is calm and unobtrusive—I don’t over-direct or force stiff poses. Instead, I focus on genuine connection, movement, and the quiet moments that tell the true story of your day. Along with timeless photographs, I also create short highlight videos to complement your gallery. Now booking 2026 weddings, elopements, and engagement sessions across San Diego and Southern California.

“Absolutely amazing, I’m glad i got to work with Liubov for my wedding. Her communication was tremendous, very polite, easy to work with and her pictures came out amazing. I highly recommend. Thank you for all you did”

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.

“We worked with Khoa for our wedding ceremony and reception and it was everything we wished for and more! 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!”
