  • Serves Idyllwild, CA

Chasing Light | Photo & Video is a San Diego-based wedding photography and videography team devoted to capturing the real moments that make a wedding unforgettable. The quiet glances, the uncontrollable laughter, the tears during a first look—these are the moments that matter most. With a documentary-style approach, the team focuses on preserving the genuine emotion and natural beauty of each couple’s story as it unfolds. Russ and Clara, a husband-and-wife team with more than a decade of experience documenting weddings together. Their shared passion for storytelling allows them to see moments from both an artistic and emotional perspective.

Hiring Russ and Clara for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! From our very first meeting, they were warm, professional, and clearly passionate about their work. On the big day, they were a calming presence, blending in effortlessly while still managing to capture every important moment and so many beautiful candid ones we didn’t even realize were happening. The photos are breathtaking. Every image tells a story full of emotion, light, and all the little details that made our day special. Clara has such an incredible eye and a true talent for capturing the feeling of the moment, not just the image. We received our gallery faster than expected, and we were blown away by the quality and care put into every photo. These are memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime, and we’re so grateful to have had such a skilled and thoughtful photographer by our side. If you're looking for someone who will not only deliver stunning photos but also bring calm, kindness, and professionalism to your wedding day they are it. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Ripple Rain Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Idyllwild, CA

The moments you remember most aren’t usually the ones that were planned. My approach is documentary-driven and unhurried, focused on connection, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that tend to mean the most later. I work best with couples who value presence over perfection and want images that feel honest, intimate, and timeless. Whether your day is big or small, traditional or unconventional, my goal is to create space for you to be fully yourselves — and to tell your story as it naturally unfolds.

Sharyce was amazing from the first phone call we had. Sharyce quickly became not only our photographer but a confidant and friend. She traveled from CA to WI to shoot our wedding and she was worth every single penny! Her kindness, leadership, eye for detail, creativeness and her vision brought our wedding together and we are dying to see our full wedding album!! Book her! Now!!!! Sharyce holds a level of professionalism that is unmatched, while simultaneously being a friend. As my wife and I are apart of the LGBTQ community, we would love to give her a shoutout for her love and safety towards us and our love. We will forever be grateful to Sharyce for capturing our day and building a friend in the process. Thank you for capturing every detail with so much love.

Hi, I'm Samuel Hui, a wedding photographer driven by a passion for creating unforgettable memories through my lens. What sets my work apart is my commitment to blending experimental creativity with a deep respect for the natural flow of each wedding day. I believe in capturing genuine moments that reflect the authentic emotions and unique personalities of my couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got some really great photos from Samuel! We really love his true-to-reality editing and that he tries to capture every detail. Be sure to tell him ahead of time how you want your day to go. He leans hard toward the Instagram-y, fabricated style and it was difficult to redirect to a more candid style in the moment.

Abdulla was so easy to work with and absolutely fantastic on our wedding day! He was unobtrusive but somehow always in the right place, and was able to get some amazing shots in a venue with tricky lighting. His editing style fell exactly in line with how the memories felt to me - warm, colorful, and romantic. He also did an amazing job coordinating with the videographer so they both got the shots they needed without being in each other's way. Excellent communication throughout and a pretty quick turnaround time - we had previews a few days after the wedding and the full album about a month later. I'm so happy with our wedding photos!

I’m a thrift shopper who loves cozy blankets and good pasta. Now that I'm a mom (of twins!), I'm reminded every day of how important the little moments are and how important it is for me to capture them before they're gone! I like to think that my style is natural and genuine :) I smile big, love to laugh but also might cry at your first dance.

I can’t begin to say how amazing, and how talented Emily is! Any couple that is looking for a photographer, needs to stop right here. My husband and I are the most awkward people when it comes to taking photos. But Emily is such a freaking pro and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Especially with me, and how much I hate taking photos of myself. But she was just so great with giving direction and so personable. Not only that, but we had multiple people compliment her on her work. We ended up hiring Emily as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos, and couldn’t be happier! I’m so happy I found her, she’s honestly going to be my main girl when it comes to taking any other professional photos down the road. Emily is the absolute best!

Working with Bri was such a pleasure! For starters, we planned our wedding in two months, and she worked us into her schedule (for a destination wedding at that). She reached out, was very engaging, and quick to respond to any questions we had. Leading up to both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, she arrived hours early and spent time scouting out the best locations. For our engagement photos, she found the most stunning mountain location and trekked with us through the snow to capture the stunning photos! For our wedding, we told her what we were envisioning with the scenery and people, and she made it happen in a beautiful way! She was organized and managed time well in taking the photos. On our wedding day, she arrived early and captured the day perfectly. She is such a joy to have around, brightening the room and making it easy to rejoice in the day. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out stunning, we continue to receive compliments on them as people can't believe they are real. Would HIGHLY recommend Bri for any photos you would like!

I’m Ashley Checkos, a wedding photographer with a background in management and photography. With 3 years of experience, I bring a detail-oriented, organized, and efficient approach to every event. My philosophy is to see clients through my lens, letting their unique energy set the tone for their day. I’ve worked at diverse venues, from intimate courthouses to grand historic hotels, connecting deeply with each couple to capture their story. I’m excited to create lasting memories of your special day.

I highly recommend MyselfLens for any occasion to take your photos. Ashley is so easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable even when I was 7 months postpartum and didn't love my body. She moved throughout my busy day with ease and it felt like she wasn't even there at times which made it possible for her to catch candid moments. I still look back at my wedding photos in complete awe that she could capture those moments and make them so aesthetically beautiful! She's so professional yet also feels like a friend. I will use her time and time again! She really made me feel like a princess.

I believe the best work comes from genuine connection, so I want the relationship lore, the weird habits, and the stories your friends never get tired of telling. That's how your gallery becomes a work of art that is unrepeatable and insanely unique.

We cannot recommend Bre enough! 5 stars. 10/10. When my husband and I first started planning our wedding, we asked over five of our recently married friends if they’d recommend their photographer. Not one couple could, whether it’s because they didn’t nail their aesthetic, the quality wasn’t worth the price, or the photographer wasn’t pleasant to their guests. We were getting discouraged…until we found Bre. Bre’s style is exactly what we wanted: an elevated editorial style, contrasted with effortless candids that really captured our spirit as a couple and the joyfulness of the day. Oh, and she shoots film! Not one person has seen our wedding photos without saying the words “beautiful” or “gorgeous”. Bre is incredibly professional and easy going. Whether it was photographing the small, quiet moments with just the two of us or interacting with our families as she captured the day, she was incredibly kind, fun to chat with, and fit right in. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She quickly understood us as a couple, and rather than running us through a checklist of poses, she leaned into our natural dynamic. What we got is a timeless and unique representation of us and our families. After the wedding, Bre quickly followed up with a sneak peek. We were shocked, not only at how fast we were able to see her work, but how truly beautiful and representative of us her work is. Our full gallery came earlier than we were quoted, and it’s hard to pick which ones we want to print and show off. But more importantly, Bre is now a great friend. We will always call her for a major family event, and we will always recommend her to every friend. We can’t wait to send her every Christmas card from here on out. Thank you, Bre, for being such a joy and talented artist. We’re excited to be the friends that, when someone asks if we have a photographer we love, we can undoubtedly say “yes!”

I cannot recommend Nick enough! He did both our engagement and wedding photos. He is incredibly talented at what he does! He listens and is super patient. (At the time, we had a wiggly 4 year old daughter that he understood had a limited attention span!) We didn't want a ton of still shots of us...and he still managed to get the most important ones on our wedding day. He knew we wanted to capture the fun/touching moments of our day and he did just that. Additionally, our engagement photos were so beautiful too! We plan to use Nick throughout the years as our family grows...thank you so much for locking our most precious day in time!
