Hi, I'm Heather. I'm a wedding photographer and I will travel anywhere in the world to photograph your day. My style is loose editorial. I bring real direction so you feel confident and know what to do, and then I back off and let the genuine moments happen. You get bold, stylish portraits and real in-between feelings in the same gallery. I want your photos to look incredible and actually feel like you, not a version of you that's been posed and polished into someone else.

My wife and I had a destination wedding. We were lucky enough to come across Heather, and we are more than thankful that we did. She took a special day and made it even more special. She went above and beyond and captured everything we could have hoped for and then some. It felt like we had known her for many years thank you for being a great person.

We had a great experience with true photography and video! The company was very professional, organized, and was quick to respond to any questions we had during the wedding planning process.

For our wedding we were assigned Megan O and Anthony for photography and Kyle Garrett as our videographer. Megan O and Anthony had great energy throughout the night and were so helpful! Megan created a detailed organized checklist of all the photos that I wanted and made sure to capture each picture that I had noted on my shot list. Kyle zoomed around during the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception to capture wonderful videos.

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.

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!

We both agreed on our honeymoon that we actually had a lot of fun taking all of our photos and want to hire them for a 1 year anniversary shoot. Also, the finished product of all our wedding photos are even better than I could have imagined. We will definitely be hiring The Brews Photography again and recommending them to all our friends getting married

I’m here to capture nostalgic memories and help you remember the emotions behind the photos. I love capturing those truly candid moments. The kind of photos that put you right back in the moment five, ten, fifty years later. I'm a Southern California based photographer that will travel wherever you want to document your love! I'm constantly exploring with laid-back couples that want to capture genuine moments about their relationship. When I'm not taking pictures, you can usually find me hanging out with my loved ones, hiking, watching sitcoms, or taking a spontaneous trip.

Emily was truly a dream to work with during our engagement session. From brainstorming photo locations to fit with the theme of our wedding, to outfit inspiration, to timing to utilize the best lighting... she was on top of it all. We were blown away by the quality of our photos, both on film and digital. We had such variety of photos to choose from (settings, poses, lighting, angles) etc. One of our biggest insecurities was looking comfortable in front of the camera and not too "posed". Emily was wonderful a guiding us behind the camera and giving us prompts to make the photos feel natural and genuine. I cannot recommend her enough! Plus, we wanted to incorporate our new puppy into the photoshoot and Emily gave us all the tips and guidance to make sure that went smoothly! The extra photos with the pup are just perfect!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Alan from Love Story Photography for our Safari Park wedding! Soon after sending off our inquiry, we heard from Alan right away who scheduled a FaceTime call with us. Little did we know, he had his lovely wife, Heidi, join the call as well. We immediately felt their warmth and love, and were eager to book them as our wedding photographer and ceremony officiant! We had a great experience working with Alan prior to the wedding, as he was always so kind in answering any logistical and timeline questions we had. Having Alan and Heidi so in tune with each other really helped move the planning process along very well. They are true wedding experts and their guidance was instrumental to us! The morning of my wedding, I was a ball of nerves, I was late to my first look, and to top it all off, as soon as I got my wedding gown on, my maid of honor discovered there was a huge black spider on it, which freaked me out even more! But, before I even had a chance to lay eyes on the creepy spider, Alan was down on the floor, cupping it in his hands and eliminating it from the room. I think that was the moment I finally began to relax and let it sink in that I was in the best hands possible with Alan. I can't say enough great things about his talent and tact. He was organized and had many deadlines to meet to follow our timeline, but was still always kind and amicable to everyone who crossed his path. He delivered beautiful photos that had meaning to us, which had exactly the elements we wanted in terms of details, animals, and family and friend shots. I love the vibrancy and timelessness of the photos he produced. I can't recommend Alan and Heidi enough. You won't regret working with these two awesome and kind people. They are wonderful wedding vendors, and even greater humans!

Our wedding was genuinely a DIY wedding ran by the power of Hashem and our community way back in August 2025. We had one of our close friends, Jordan Daniels, who offered his phenomenal photography for our wedding ceremony. Unfortunately, Jordan had a previous obligation that did not allow him to stay very long past the ceremony, and that’s where Jessica comes in and shines. Jessica was another last-minute investment for us, as it was so important to capture as much of the day we possibly could. Although the wedding ceremony photos are so essential to capture the wedding party, traditions, and family, the reception photos Jessica provided us revealed the authentic joy and celebration the afterparty brought. Jessica was consistently responsive in her communication and fair with her pricing. Her turnaround speed after editing was also surprisingly fast. She understood, because she was popping in later during the reception, there was no need for her to ask to start her photography. She is familiar with the wedding venue scene in San Diego and knew exactly where the reception was without any issues. She is a natural and got started right away on capturing those genuine candid moments. She paid attention to the small details on the tables, the décor, the cake, the dancing, the friends, and the music. We are so happy to see these memories that will be here with us for a lifetime thanks to Jessica Paige.

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 would love to connect more with you at katieclarephotos. com! I was raised in Northern California and 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 strive to visually capture the “spirit” of my subjects and record an emotional memory of the occasion.

We had a wonderful experience with Ben as our photographer! The day started out very stormy & rainy & it was a little chaotic with getting the wedding party from place to place but Ben did an awesome job getting great shots during the rain storm before the ceremony. After the rain cleared up, we were also able to get beautiful shots in the courtyard, all our family photos, & even sunset photos with some time to hang out with our guests during cocktail hour! Throughout the whole reception Ben & the photographers were awesome with all of our guests & with us! Ben asked us if it would be ok to pull us away for some quick rain photos & he ended up getting the most amazing shot ever (had to upload a compressed version)! Overall would 50000% recommended anyone to book Ben for their wedding (or any event) photography!

Linda did our wedding photos and she did an amazing job. We went over everything in detail before the big day to make us feel comfortable and ready. She scoped out the venue before hand and was able to take us to some great photo spots during the day. Our wedding day was very sunny and we were tight on time, but Linda still made sure to get all the shots we wanted and they look amazing. She was so nice and helpful and very affordable for the quality of photos. We will definitely go to her for anniversary for family photos in the future!

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.

Irina is an awesome and experienced photographer which is helpful when you have no idea what to expect on your wedding day. She works with you and your coordinator to make sure you get the shots you want. She even recommended some based on previous weddings she did at our venue. The planning process was straightforward and her rates were reasonable. On the day of the wedding she helped us get ready and reassured us that everything would be okay. She never stopped taking pictures and captured some wonderful moments throughout the night. We anxiously awaited our photos and they turned out better than we expected. She did a wonderful job capturing all the important memories. All of the pictures were gorgeous and she really made you feel special. We definitely recommend her to anyone getting married in the Carlsbad area!

Moe was our photographer for our wedding ceremony and reception and she is an absolute gem! She had such a long day with us at two locations, and constantly went above and beyond! Her energy was so fun it elevated our happiness. We had multiple guests complimenting her photography and personality throughout the night. Moe is professional, meeting with us early on to get a feel for our priorities. She is detail-oriented and had lists of shots we wanted and shots she wanted to make happen for us. We really appreciated her help with natural posing and her use and knowledge of multiple techniques including drone footage and film. There is not one sweet moment that was missed. We tend to be camera shy and feel awkward, but she made us so comfortable it felt like hanging out with a friend. She also pulled off having a large sample of our intimate ceremony pictures to be broadcasted just hours later for our larger reception. She more than accommodated all of our requests and we trust her vision completely. We cannot praise Moe enough. We're going to have to find more reasons for photoshoots with her because she is so talented and lovely to work with! If you want a kind, fun, talented photographer to capture all of your favorite details and more, Moe is your gal!

Paige Hill Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Julian, CA

Hi! I’m Paige Hill — a San Diego-based wedding photographer with a heart for storytelling, a love for romance, and 12+ years behind the camera. With 200+ weddings captured across the U.S., my style is genuine, joyful, and deeply connected. I believe photography should feel effortless and true to you—like stills from your favorite romantic comedy or the lyrics to your favorite love song. I’m here for the real, joy-filled moments that feel beautifully and authentically you.

We chose Paige Hill Photography and couldn't have made a better decision. From our first conversation, Paige was responsive and supportive, making the entire process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, she captured stunning photos with that vintage vibe we loved, and her editing brought everything to life. What really stood out was how efficient she was, she got the shots we needed without eating up our timeline, which meant we actually got to enjoy the party instead of being stuck in photos all night. Paige helped us stay on schedule and made sure we hit every moment that mattered. She's truly the best at what she does and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who gets things done right.

I love telling the messy, beautiful stories of life and each person’s own unique experience being human. I'm a people-person to my core and I thrive on creating a space where you can feel free to be your incredible self. I want us to know each other as real people, not just as commitments on each other’s calendars. Let's be friends and make photos that are lovely and messy and true. This is an inclusive, anti-racist space for all humans, all love, and all body-types. You, your love, and your story are welcome here. Come as you are.
