  • Serves Lemon Grove, CA

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.

Khoa was our wedding photographer from getting ready until the end of the night and we had an amazing experience with him the entire time! He is incredibly sweet and easy to work with, and made us feel very comfortable from the get-go. He was very thoughtful and thorough in using all aspects of our venue to provide amazing photos capturing the whole day. He worked very efficiently with us leading up to the ceremony to get us photos while still keeping us hidden away from our arriving guests, and then, during the ceremony and reception, he was amazingly unobtrusive but still able to capture all the great moments of our night! Khoa sent us a few preliminary photos which were all so perfect for personalizing our thank you cards. Once we got the full complement of photos from him we were blown away by the quality, editing, and energy he was able to capture from our wedding day. He is immensely generous with the number of photos he provides, and we have to stress that he somehow manages to deliver on both quantity AND quality. He is also very talented in composition and there were more than several photos that we never noticed him getting - everything perfectly captured the energy and feeling of the day and felt like we were reliving it again. Overall he feels like the complete package and we recommend him without hesitation!!!

We loved working with Emily! She was so responsive and really made us feel so much less anxious over the photography for the wedding ! The guide and photo planning document she shared in the lead up really helped us make a game plan prior to wedding day. We got every photo we wanted and then some. Our recommendation is to go in with a few must haves and then just trust Emily to do what she does best. We couldn’t have had a better experience!

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.

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.

We used Carlsbad Photo for our wedding and our photographer Irina was phenomenal. Neither my husband nor I were very comfortable with having our pictures taken and she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed for both our engagement and wedding. She took so many beautiful candid photographs and gave direction to make our pictures look both beautiful and natural. She was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her.I chose Carlsbad Photo before I even picked my dress! When you meet people with a good heart who are loving life, everything around them is that much better. Why would you not want someone like that shooting your special day when you are surrounded by everyone you love? Her energy enhances everything and she will make you laugh so much! She will help you with questions beyond photos for your big day - she has a lot of experience and literally knows everything about weddings! She was pretty much our coordinator. She instructed us when to stop and kiss after we headed out of the isle, how to cut the cake, and even how to toss my bouquet to get the most beautiful pictures!!!And to me, the best part of booking Irina is that you will have someone on your special day who truly is the TEAM BRIDE!

My style is all about telling stories of love, laughter, tears, joy, and all the beautiful chaos in between. Just like your wedding day, every photo shoot is a unique, amazing, and important experience.

We're not just making photos, we're making memories.

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!

Freshly landed from Paris, France. Christophe has been a travel photographer for the past ten years and decided to expand his creative horizons toward white dresses and bow ties here in California. His European touch will definitely bring something special to your wedding day.

I worked with Heather and her team for the day of wedding planning and Christophe was our photographer for the day. They were both amazing. They are detail oriented, professional, and kept us on schedule throughout the day. Despite having a more “difficult” wedding venue (military base), they made everything as easy as it could be with all of our vendors. Christophe went above and beyond to get beautiful photos that we will be able to look back on for the rest of our lives and remember our special day. He also took care to get some very sentimental photos with my father’s military uniform. You won’t regret hiring them, but you’ll definitely be missing out if you don’t.

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.

Yrsina did our wedding pictures and I just loved her personality and professionalism so when we got pregnant we just had to call her to do our pregnancy photos and of course once our baby was born I had to call her again… I have to say when it comes to babies… she has so much patience and she just loves what she does… the end result shows it!!! Wouldn’t have any anyone else taking our pics… we definitely made the right choice! We highly recommend her!!!

Shaun takes the most gorgeous photos while capturing the authenticity and emotion behind the wedding day! After being part of several wedding parties with overly-posed photos, we knew we wanted a photographer who captures the real moments, facial expressions, and joy of a wedding day. Shaun did all of that and more! The photos turned out absolutely incredible, he has an amazing personality and has a way to put anyone in front of the camera at ease. Not only that, half the time we forgot the cameras were even there, which meant we got to be in the moment at our wedding and soak it all in. Now the only problem is figuring out which of the photos to print as canvas wall art because there are so many good ones!

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!

Your love is so beautifully unique, and deserves to be celebrated. If you’re about genuine connection, laid back romance, and getting in touch with your weird and wild side, chances are we’re going to be best of friends.

as a very socially awkward couple, we were nervous about being in front of a camera, but Moriel made us feel so at ease. her kindness and calm energy helped us relax and just be ourselves. the photos they captured feel like something out of a storybook — full of genuine moments and emotion. we’ll cherish these memories for the rest of our lives. I can’t wait to get them printed and framed!

Kami Olavarria Photography

I am a full-time wedding photographer based in San Diego and first things first, I want you to know your wedding is a huge deal to me. As your wedding photographer, I'm your ultimate third-well and your right-hand-woman. I’m like your bridesmaid / groomslady with a camera. More than just a hired vendor, I’ll be your cheerleader, encourager, organizer, drink-getter, and the gal screaming “YAYYYY" because I’m so excited about the awesome photos we’re creating together. With the experience, knowledge, and expertise of photographing nearly 300 weddings, I am here with you every step of the way. Can’t wait to be along this journey with you!!!

Stop looking for photographers - you’ve found the best one!! Here’s why: 1. She’s a tremendously talented photographer. Kami does her research, keeps you relaxed/comfortable, and is super creative. She was extremely prepared for our engagement shoot and on our wedding day and achieved amazing results (look at her albums). On our wedding day, she positioned herself thoughtfully, and respectfully. 2. Kami is a true professional, super fun and keeps it light. She brings amazingly positive energy, is fun to be around (an absolute bundle of joy) and has a higher level of emotional intelligence than anyone we know. She made us so comfortable in our pictures which reflected in how much we loved how they turned out. 3. Kami is a leader in both her field and as a person. If you could create a perfect photographer (and person) to go through a pandemic with, it would be her. Throughout some of the most difficult times of the COVID-19 crisis, she was calm, empathetic and so committed to making sure we were doing well, even when we had to reschedule, etc. We talked to her multiple times about our situation and she not only made us feel better afterwards, but feel on top of the world. She was with us at the worst moments and of course at the best (our 7 person wedding). Take a second to reflect on the impact that the COVID-19 crisis had on photographers. 4. Kami is a great communicator. Always proactive, respectful, and timely You learn a little bit about a person during the good times, but you truly learn about a person through the worst of times. We’ve known Kami over the last 1.5 years including through the COVID-19 pandemic and have learned about how she is an amazing photographer (again look at her albums!!), but more importantly an amazing person. She will be with you through it all. Congratulations on finding your photographer (and likely a great friend)!

Hi, I'm Joni! I've been photographing couples for over 10 years now and I just can't seem to get enough of it! My warm, bubbly personality always seems to keep EVERYONE in good spirits throughout the wedding day! I’m a calming force when things start to get stressful and ready to keep the energy up to dance the night away together! Sometimes wedding days don't go exactly as planned. I’m extremely flexible and prepared to provide expert, judgment-free guidance to help you pivot and get right back to having the time of your life!

Joni was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication was efficient, timely, and kind throughout the planning process, which helped keep things running smoothly. On the big day, Joni brought a wonderful energy while capturing countless beautiful, timeless photos that we will treasure forever. She has such a talent for making couples feel comfortable in front of the camera. You can tell photography is her passion! Joni helped ensure the day flowed well by directing us for photos while making the process fun. We were thrilled when she delivered a full wedding album to us in just a few short weeks after our wedding. The turnaround time was unbelievably fast! 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!
