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.

“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.”

“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’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.

“I've never been so excited to review somebody in my entire life!!! We were so lucky to have Irina as our photographer. I cannot say enough how important it is that your photographer on your wedding day is just as wonderful as a person as she is a professional at what she does. A good photographer makes you feel comfortable and effortless behind the camera. Posing parents, siblings, wedding parties, flower girls, ring bearers, and the bride and groom coming together perfectly in a crazy short amount of time? You feel like it’s IMPOSSIBLE. It’s not! I’ve heard that weddings are always not on time. The truth is it’s more worth. The rings may be forgotten, the very important guest is being extremely late, and a lot of other reasons. Irina was super patient, she captured each and every photo I wanted without me even having to make sure that she did it. Her creativity, eye for perfection, and professionalism are unbelievable. The wedding day does by so fast, and it's important to have all the moments captured. My now husband and I could not have chosen a better photographer. Everyone at the wedding was talking about how great our photographer was. Irina introduced herself to every guest and family member at the wedding and made sure she got every guests’ picture which we are so grateful! We had so many out of state guests and wanted to remember every moment with them on our best day. If you are looking for pricing that makes sense, photographer who cares about the quality, your happiness on your wedding day, and feeling confident throughout that entire day and every time you look at pictures afterwards, then look no further!”

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 exceeded every expectation. Her eye for detail, light, and emotion is truly exceptional. She captured our wedding day with such elegance and authenticity — every image feels intentional, refined, and full of feeling. Beyond her talent, Maya is professional, kind, and a joy to work with. Our gallery is timeless, emotional, and absolutely stunning. We would book her again in a heartbeat.”

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.

“100/10, one million stars, cannot recommend enough!!! We absolutely loved working with Katie from the moment we first met to take engagement photos. She was super friendly and made us feel very comfortable right away. For two camera shy people who felt out of their element going into professional photos, we were amazed at how quickly we got the gallery back and at how beautiful every single shot turned out. Our initial experience translated into an amazing wedding day with Katie. She was so helpful and communicative leading up to the big day and helping coordinate timelines, shot lists, etc. and did amazing adhering to everything we planned. Her guidance was incredible - she helped us achieve poses and photos that felt so natural and romantic and was our #1 hype girl all day/night. Our wedding party and family had nothing but amazing things to say about their interactions with her throughout the day and we were so happy to have her celebrate with us! The wedding gallery came back right on time and was extensive. We are so happy with the amount of photos we got back, the editing, the organized gallery, the quality - everything was perfect!

She made the whole process feel so natural and enjoyable, which was so important on such a big day. Not only was she professional, but she went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect. For example, when I was struggling to pin something to my dress, she immediately jumped in to help—something totally outside her job description, but she did it with a smile and made sure everything was perfect. It was those little thoughtful gestures that truly set her apart. And of course, the photos are nothing short of stunning! We absolutely love her style and the way she uses color. She made sure to capture every important moment, and we now have beautiful memories to cherish forever.

Khoa Photography

Hi there! I'm Khoa, a San Diego based wedding photographer who enjoys spending time with good people and road trips. I love all things weddings because witnessing couples' happiness brings me joy and fuels my creativity. I want to create photographs that can stand the test of time so couples can relive their day years from now and for generations to come.

“We found Khoa after searching through dozens of photographers in SD County. We planned to have an elopement at the County Clerk's office and wanted someone to be able to capture the intimate moments of the day very artfully since we wouldn't have a big wedding or any guests. Khoa had excellent communication, was very professional, and made our day even more special by agreeing to be our witness. In a way, he brought me a lot of comfort since we didn't have any friends or family there. My now husband and I rarely take photos even for socials or anything personal and are super awkward in front of the camera, but Khoa provided just enough guidance and direction that it felt very natural posing for the camera without it feeling like an entire production or feeling too stiff. I really appreciated that he asked us what we prefer the focus environment should be-- whether its architecture or nature, to ensure that he captures the vibe we were looking for. He delivered the final products very quickly and his post edits were beautiful-- the colors, light, and balance of us and the backdrops were absolutely stunning. I highly recommend his service to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!”

My inspiration comes from my time spent in stunning landscapes, from the sea to the mountains. I love capturing photos with natural light and specialize in elopements and microweddings with 30 guests or fewer. I have a decade of photography experience with a communications and film degree from The University of Texas at Austin. I enjoy working with couples that love the great outdoors. I am currently based in Southern California, around the San Diego area, but I am available to travel across the country for weddings.

Hello there! I’m Brittany, a San Diego based wedding and elopement photographer who loves to travel all over the globe! I’m just a human first who's a sucker for connection. I’m not here to stage manage your relationship or turn your day into a styled shoot...or worse, something fabricated to go viral on the ‘gram. Your real life is so, so much more important. I’m here to witness what’s already there and hold up a giant mirror to it. Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or a cliffside elopement just the two of you, my goal is to create a relaxed, welcoming space focused on the unique, ordinary details that make your connection yours. If that’s what you’re looking for, then I would truly love nothing more than to hear from you!
