“1000% recommend Lulan Studios. Wow, we are beyond happy with how our wedding photos turned out. Thank you so much Lulan Studios! Luyi and Jason were amazing. They took my vision very seriously and brought it to life. They were so warm and kind and fun. The pictures speak for themselves and capture the emotion and cinematic footage I envisioned.

When we were searching for a videographer for our wedding, his services were reasonably priced, and we were very happy for what was included in his packages. He provided lightly edited footage for all of our key moments such as the service, toasts, dances, etc…something that we didn’t find in any other videographers in our search. On the weekend, he rolled with the punches, and we will happily cherish our wedding videos for so many years to come! Thank you, JD!”

If you've ever felt awkward in photos, that's my favorite problem to solve. I'm Heather, a loose editorial wedding and elopement photographer, and I'll go anywhere you're getting married. Not because I have to. Because I want to. I give you real direction so you know exactly what to do, then I step back and let something true happen inside the frame. I can't fabricate moments, so I don't try. You get bold, stylish portraits and the real in-between stuff in the same gallery, and all of it still looks like you. I'm part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and every couple, every identity, every kind of love is welcome here because of that.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I had the pleasure of working alongside Allen as the photographer for one of my weddings, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Allen was professional, attentive, and a true team player. She captured every detail beautifully while remaining unobtrusive, allowing the couple and guests to feel completely at ease. Her eye for special moments and her creative approach brought the day to life in a way that exceeded everyone’s expectations. As a wedding planner, it’s a joy to collaborate with vendors who not only deliver exceptional work but also make the day smoother for everyone involved. Allen is absolutely one of those people, and I look forward to working with her again!”

“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.

“Irina from Carlsbad Photo was an exceptional wedding photographer. Despite having to change our plans due to travel restrictions, Irina captured every moment flawlessly. She arrived early, helped organize our dressing room, and was great with our daughters. The photos she took, including our first touch, still bring tears to our eyes. Irina expertly captured all the fun and dances, as well as our crazy families. Highly recommended!”

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 is a true professional with a creative vision and great imagination. She is so talented in capturing stunning images! Maya provided helpful guidance on posing and positioning to ensure we felt comfortable and natural in front of the camera. She was attentive to every detail, helping us select the perfect backdrops and locations. Maya's calming presence and warm personality made the photography experience smooth and enjoyable. The pictures turned out beautiful!! See it yourself!”

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.

Katie and her team made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, which resulted in beautiful, natural shots that we'll cherish forever.

“Madison is soooo talented!! We first worked with Madison for our engagement shoot. It was our first time doing a professional photoshoot and she was able to make us feel comfortable and calm during the shoot. She shot our engagement shoot on film and it was beautiful. We loved working with Madison so much that we wanted her for our traditional tea ceremony and our wedding day. During our tea ceremony she was familiar with the culture and she offered to help when things were hectic. She was super professional and I loved how the photos turned out! Madison also did our wedding day and from the beginning she was on time, very professional, and kind. I gave her my Pinterest inspiration board and she was fully able to execute all my inspirations and more! During my wedding she was able to keep us on track of time and communicate to everyone. She even helped pin my veil when it was falling off or offered to hold my train. We also got our photo preview back the day after our wedding and WOW we were blown away. The photos really captured such a beautiful day and the raw emotions. I would 1000% recommend Madison to all of our family and friends. She is so professional and her work is beautiful!!

“I can't say enough about Mia, Laron and their team. Of all my wedding vendors, they were my favorite (and easiest) to work with. They were very accessible and easy to reach; I could message my random thoughts and ideas at any hour and Mia would respond almost immediately. They work tirelessly around the clock to get things done so you aren't waiting to get your photos back; mine were sent to me the next day. They are open to suggestions and ideas; I had different visions for my engagement shoot and they were willing to do things out of the norm to make it work. Our photoshoots were fun and unique. I did a boudoir shoot with Mia and she made me feel very comfortable in an intimate setting and it was not awkward at all. Mia is your hype girl! I love their willingness to go with the flow while still getting things done. Mia and Laron complement each other very well. They have different perspective from one another so when they put their heads together, there is more opportunity for creativity, visually stunning work and a unique experience. Highly recommend PKA for any event.”

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.

“We chose Replica Photography for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with that decision. From our first conversation, MJ was incredibly responsive and professional, making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. On our wedding day, she helped us with posing while keeping the atmosphere light and fun—we found ourselves laughing throughout the shoot, which made everything feel natural. The photos turned out stunning, and we were blown away by how quickly she delivered the final images. Beyond being a fantastic photographer, she's also a genuinely wonderful person who made us feel comfortable and cared for. We're thrilled with the results and would absolutely recommend Replica Photography to any couple looking for someone who combines creativity, professionalism, and heart. I have hired MJ for numerous events after she did our intimate wedding because we loved her work so much.”

“As the Mother of the Bride, i cannot say enough about Helen, our wedding photographer. When my daughter and her husband researched photographers, they were drawn to Helen's photos and her editing skills. And the fact that she was competitively but reasonably priced was a plus. During the planning process she was very accessible, and answered emails with complete and clear information. She is a warm and friendly person, but at the same time very professional. She had several virtual meetings with the bride and groom, and took care of every detail so that by the big day, we knew what to expect. During the wedding and reception, Helen was there to get the best shots without ever being in anyone's way. She emailed some beautiful shots after a few days, and then it only took three weeks to get the entire portfolio sent back to us! The newlyweds are absolutely in love with their photos. These pictures captured feelings and emotions, as well as wonderful visions of a perfect day. The wedding was at TImberline/Mt. Hood, and since Helen is a master of nature photography, the end result was perfect. I cannot recommend Anchor and Pine Collective enough!”

If you’re looking for someone to capture your special moments, I’d love to help you create memories that last a lifetime!

“Kayla was absolutely amazing to work with! From the moment she arrived, her sweet and bubbly personality made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured our wedding day so beautifully…every emotion, every moment, and all the little details we might have missed in the chaos of the day. I’m so obsessed with her flat lays and how she incorporated our special keepsakes. I had mentioned wanting my colors to really pop, and she captured them perfectly! Her eye for detail is incredible, and she somehow managed to make every photo feel natural yet timeless. The turnaround time was so quick… we received a sneak peek soon after the wedding, which made us even more excited for the full gallery. Kayla also brought along a second shooter who was just as wonderful, and together they didn’t miss a single moment. We’re beyond grateful to have these photos to look back on forever. I couldn’t recommend Kayla enough to any couple looking for someone who not only takes beautiful photos but also brings such warmth and joy to their day.”

Paige Hill Photography

  • 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.

“Booking Paige as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made! From the moment we sent the inquiry, Paige was attentive, friendly, and knowledgable. Her communication was clear and she was always super responsive. On the day of, we could not have asked for a better experience. Paige kept our shot and location lists in mind the entire time and was efficient, making sure to get us to our cocktail hour and back to our reception on time (which we had emphasized was important to us). Throughout the entire day, Paige was there to hype us up and make us feel comfortable behind the camera. Our sneak peeks were more INCREDIBLE than we could have ever imagined. We are so glad we also added on some film photos, which were just as gorgeous. If we were doing this all over again, we would book Paige every single time. We are not local to the area, but have every intention of traveling so that Paige can continue to capture the milestones in our life.”

Hey there! I'm Linda. San Diego wedding and portrait photographer. I've been photographing weddings for 8 years and have loved every minute of it. I'd love to chat with you and share how I can help you get the best possible images on your special day while giving you a great experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We are beyond thrilled that we chose Linda as our photographer for our intimate ceremony! From the very first conversation, she made everything feel so personal and special. She answered every question we had and guided us through the entire process with such care. It honestly felt like she was part of our day, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Linda’s professionalism was incredible. She knew exactly where to position us for the best shots and how to make us feel at ease in front of the camera. We completely trusted her, and the results speak for themselves — the photos are absolutely stunning! What sets Linda apart, though, is how warm, friendly, and easy-going she is. It was like having a friend there with us. We are so in love with the photos she captured — they’re just perfect. If I could offer one small suggestion (though it’s really not a critique of Linda), it would be to have someone there to help with the dress — adjusting it and making sure everything stays just right. Overall, Linda truly exceeded our expectations in every way. We’re beyond grateful for her and so happy we chose her to document such a special day!”
