Enlightened Scorpio Studio 

5.0

Encinitas, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

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

I have nothing but great things to say! Katie was both personable and professional with both of our family photo shoots! She really went the extra mile by scouting out gorgeous places to take photos and having us meet her at the best time of day for lighting. My son was only 2, and she had so many great tricks up her sleeve to make him smile! She also had the perfect mix of a calm demeanor and an excited tone that made my son enjoy the experience! She got the photos back to us in such a timely fashion and her website was really easy to navigate. I get SO many compliments on the photos and they are my favorite ones that my family has ever taken! Thank you Katie!!

A special shoutout to Amy, Union Kitchen and Taps event coordinator! Amy made the overwhelming process of wedding planning fun, easy and truly enjoyable. She is personable, down to earth, kind and radiated a calming presence that helped ease all the nerves that come along with a big event. Her knowledge and experience in the field shows and her passion for making our vision come to life was evident. She was extremely patient with us and took the time to understand our vision and then was able to execute it with such grace.

A former Pro Snowboarder and French TV personality, Franck's boundless creativity ensures each frame narrates your unique love story. 💡 Turning Dreams into Reality Innovation defines us at DSide Productions. We enhance your ideas, promising an extraordinary experience that exceeds expectations.

I can’t say enough good things about Franck from dSide Productions! We found out about him from our wedding venue, CRC, and right from our first chat, I felt like we were in good hands. I was a bit worried about whether we could afford him, but after seeing his amazing work, I was convinced it was worth it. Everyone kept telling us that investing in quality photography and videography is important, and Franck really showed us how true that is. He was super accommodating and worked with us to find a great price, even including a Save the Date video! On our wedding day, October 10, 2025, Franck and his fantastic team, Josh and Chris, were absolutely incredible! Franck brought such great energy and made everyone feel comfortable and involved. Josh, our photographer, was so much fun! He helped calm my nerves with jokes and even helped me with my necklace, which was a really sweet touch. Chris, our second videographer, went the extra mile by assisting my sister and the cellist, ensuring everything went smoothly. Our guests absolutely loved them! Franck is a truly genuine person—he even gave us recommendations for local places to eat and took extra photos that weren’t included in our contract. Just a couple of hours after the wedding, he sent us sneak peeks of the photos and behind-the-scenes moments, which was so exciting. Two days later, we received the first look teaser, and it was amazing! Not only did we find a fantastic photography and video team, but we also felt like we were all part of the same family. I’m so grateful we chose dSide to capture our wedding—it was truly the best decision we made!

CONNER UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT!! My husband and I gave him a few "must have" songs and explained the vibe/type of music we like- leaving him pretty much in charge of the playlist. HE NAILED IT.

I can't put into words how happy we are with Dakotah and the work he did on our wedding. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our original videographer fell through. We found Dakotah and loved everything we saw in his portfolio. We reached out and we were immediately struck by his professionalism. We knew we had found our guy. On the day of the wedding, he arrived on time and immediately began getting B-roll of the venue. He did work with my groomsmen and I as well as my wife and her bridesmaids. We also hardly even noticed him during the ceremony. The finished product was stunning. In beautiful cinematic fashion, he perfectly captured the emotion and love we felt. We honestly can't thank Dakotah enough. If you are looking for a videographer for your special day, look no further.

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.
