I was raised in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California. I 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 have found loving hearts, wild souls, and adventurous spirits to be my people. I strive to visually capture the “spirit” of my subjects and record an emotional memory of the occasion.

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
I had the pleasure of working with Linda for our elopement, and she exceeded all expectations in every way possible. From the moment we booked her, the process was incredibly easy and user-friendly. The booking system was straightforward, and I immediately felt confident in our choice. Her communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. She was in constant touch with us, especially when it came to the venue. Not only did she provide guidance and suggestions, but she also took the initiative to visit the site earlier in the week to scout locations with the best lighting and backdrops. Her attention to detail made the day go smoothly. Our elopement took an unexpected turn when it ended up being filmed for the news, causing us to go overtime. Despite the extended hours, Linda stayed well past her scheduled time and even took stunning photos of our interviews. Her dedication to capturing every moment, even the unplanned ones, was above and beyond. With her extensive experience with elopements, particularly at the San Diego courthouse, she had a deep understanding of the best timing and locations for photos, which made everything flow effortlessly. Her knowledge truly helped us maximize our time and get the most out of our special day. On top of her professionalism and expertise, she was a delight to work with. She brought a warm and calm energy to the day, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Her price point was also very reasonable for the level of service she provided. Without a doubt, I would book her again for any future events and highly recommend her to all my friends. If you're looking for a skilled, dedicated, and genuinely wonderful photographer for your elopement, Jalea Photography is the one!

I am really passionate about my job. I love meeting and connecting with people. Making them laugh and having fun during the photo session is one of my main purposes. I love when clients they tell me they don't like to have their pictures taken, that is a challenge; and I promise I will change their minds. When you put your heart and soul in what you do, everything comes naturally.

We used Yrsina for family photos, engagement photos, wedding photos and business photoshoots. Its because we have had such an amazing experience with Yrsina and YC photography that we continue to use her. She is always professional, courteous, extremely patient, and everything you expect from a professional photographer.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Helen, a truly exceptional photographer who has beautifully captured every milestone in our lives — from our wedding day to maternity, newborn, and family sessions. From the very beginning, Helen impressed us with her warm personality, professionalism, and an eye for detail that goes far beyond just taking pictures. She doesn’t just shoot photos — she captures moments, emotions, and memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Our wedding photos were beyond stunning — elegant, emotional, and full of joy. She was discreet yet always present, catching the little in-between moments that made the day uniquely ours. We received so many compliments on how natural and heartfelt the photos felt, and it’s all thanks to Helen’s talent and intuition. During our maternity shoot, Helen made us feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease, even in our most vulnerable moments. She found the perfect balance between artistry and authenticity — highlighting the beauty of the experience in such an effortless way. The newborn session was where Helen’s patience and gentle nature really shone. She was incredible with our baby — soothing, calming, and respectful of the pace we needed. The results were absolutely magical, filled with tenderness and love. Most recently, our family session felt like a relaxed afternoon with an old friend — and somehow, amidst the chaos of kids being kids, Helen delivered images full of life, laughter, and connection. Every photo tells a story. What we value most about Helen is her ability to see people — to truly understand what matters to each family or couple, and to bring that to life through her lens. Her style is timeless, her editing is impeccable, and her passion for what she does comes through in every frame. We can’t recommend Helen highly enough. She’s not just our photographer — she’s now part of our family’s story, and we’re so grateful for everything she’s given us.

Whether you're getting married in San Diego or halfway across the world, I focus on the honest moments that make your story yours. With a blend of film and digital, I craft galleries that feel timeless, cinematic, and true to the day.

Teresa was so great to work with! We booked her as our wedding photographer, and it was everything we dreamed of and more! Leading up to the wedding, the process was extremely easy and clear. Teresa was always prompt in answering emails and happy to jump on a FaceTime call to discuss any questions or talk through the day ahead of time. We already thought she had a beautiful portfolio, and when talking together, she understood the vision of telling the story of the day through an artistic and romantic lens. On the day, she was super easy to work with, and when the timeline ran long due to other factors, she stayed calm and we figured out a way to rework the timeline to get what we needed. We felt very comfortable with her, and she helped direct us into some poses to get some amazing shots. We received our sneak peeks just about a week later and were blown away. Friends and family said they looked like they were out of Vogue or Vanity Fair. We're so excited to see the rest, and would definitely recommend!

Overall, Joni is a gem and we couldn't be happier that she was able to photograph our special day.

I've had the pleasure of working with Tara at multiple events and I have nothing but love for this human! As a DJ, I can say that it's important to have a vendor team that work together and communicate well. Tara is everything you could ask for in a wedding photographer and such a sweet person. I tell all my couples, when shopping for your photo/video vendor, book the person you wouldn't mind hanging out with all day...because that's truly what has to happen! I know any couples booking with Studio Vieren will not only have wonderful photos but have a wonderful experience on wedding day. Much love!

Delaney Shoots Film 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves La Jolla, CA

I’m a passionate 35mm film photographer with a love for the slower, more intentional process that film brings. My work blends documentary storytelling with portrait, editorial, and creative styles, capturing both candid moments and artful details. Inspired by vintage nostalgia and the beauty of modern life, I aim to create wedding photographs that feel timeless, personal, and true to your story.

Delaney was the perfect choice for our engagement photos! From the very first interaction, she was communicative, prompt, and professional. Her warm demeanor immediately put us at ease during the shoot. Delaney's work has a raw, nostalgic, and romantic quality that truly captured the airy, dreamlike feel we were going for! If you are fearful of stale stock photo-like engagement photos like I was, then Delaney is your girl. She delivered artistic stills worthy of vogue! She’s a true visionary, she did all the planning and expertly guided us on poses and locations. And to top it off, she delivered the gorgeous film photos to us incredibly quickly. We are overjoyed with the results and would highly recommend Delaney to any couple looking for wedding photography that is both timeless and real.

I worked alongside Kayley at a bridal shoot in Seattle. Kayley is a complete professional and had excellent communication when she was coordinating the event. I saw that she was able to execute a beautiful vision and work well with all the vendors and people involved in the shoot. I really enjoyed working with her, and her works speaks for itself. She made the day even more fun and I would 100% recommend Kayley to photograph any special moment in your life.
