I’m so glad we went with Sound Originals for our wedding photos! Both photographers and videographer were awesome. Booking was easy and I love their online portal – they asked all the right questions and made sure everyone was on the same page with the vision for the day. We were able to have a planning call to “meet” our lead photographer, Carly, before the wedding day. I really appreciated that so we could go over some details and feel a little bit more comfortable going into the big day (husband and I are not huge picture people). Carly and team were right on time and I can’t say enough good things about how comfortable they made us feel and how hard they worked to make sure we got every shot that we wanted. It rained on our wedding day so there were some pictures I was disappointed about not getting, but Carly got out her phone and was tracking the weather so we could take advantage of every single break in the rain – even if it was only a couple minutes! We ended up getting every picture that I wanted and I’m so grateful! We got our picture gallery back ahead of what was stated in the contract and it’s everything we hoped for. The color is exactly what we chose (we went with the “Timeless” edit. Despite the rain they managed to capture every location on the property and it looks absolutely beautiful. We had an awesome experience, and I highly recommend them. Thank you for being a part of our favorite day!

I can't fabricate moments, so I don't try to. I pose you with real direction so you feel confident and know exactly what to do, then I step back and let the actual moment happen. That's loose editorial: bold, stylish portraits sitting right next to genuine in-between feelings, in the same gallery. I'm Heather, based in Arizona and Southern California, but I go wherever the wedding is. I want your photos to look incredible and still look like you, not a version of you that's been posed and polished into someone else.

Awarded Best of Zola
Allen Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our initial consultation, Heather's communication was clear, concise and effective, making the planning process seamless. On the day of, her warm personality and professionalism put us at ease, and her attention to detail resulted in truly impressive, stunning photographs that captured all the special moments we'll cherish forever. Heather took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, even meeting up with us beforehand over coffee to discuss specific shots. I cannot recommend Allen Photography enough - Heather's work is simply amazing, and she is a wonderful photographer, and person, to have by your side on your wedding day.

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 hear about your day to see if we're a fit! Can't wait to hear from you!

We were completely overwhelmed when we saw our wedding pictures! The photos' color, clarity, and authenticity perfectly capture what we remember of the day. There are also great shots of things we didn't remember, like us canoodling in the venue's background. We felt like Katherine was part of our wedding party, not just a vendor. She was great at directing us for group photos, ensuring everyone was in the right spot without feeling rushed. She is funny and a total photography pro, and now we want her to take all of our images. By the end of the wedding, we had friends asking for her information and complimenting her left and right. She helped everyone stick to the timeline, adjust clothing, engage children, and remind everyone to laugh, breathe, and smile!

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 interviewed six photographers before selecting Carlsbad Photo. Irina was so easy to deal with from start to finish. We live out of state and I was nervous about selecting a photographer I had never met, but Irina put those nerves to rest. Our wedding photos turned out so beautiful and she captured our beach wedding perfectly! Carlsbad Photo and Irina were an excellent choice! She was fun to work with and her talents behind the lens are fantastic! Irina even sent us a sneak peek the very next day after our wedding so we can share them with our family and friends!!! We recommend Irina to everyone! Irina did a fantastic job of capturing beautiful moments for our wedding we’ll treasure forever!!!

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.

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! We are so grateful for the hard work that Katie put in to create our most cherished memories and you won’t regret going with her as your photographer! We love you Katie!!

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!

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.

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.

From our engagement shoot a year before our wedding, where Clara took stunning photos by the beach, to this March where Russ and his team came to the desert for photo and video, we could not have been happier. Photoshoots can be daunting if you're not used to them, especially with poses that feel awkward, but they make you feel so comfortable and the poses don't come out awkward once captured. When it comes to wedding day, Chasing Light is such a well oiled machine. They know what shots will be perfect and keeps everything on schedule. The photos came back SO quickly and friends and family couldn't stop commenting about how great they all turned out to be. Then comes the video and it's so special to relive everything. You get allllll the content, not just selects or highlights. It was such an advantage working with the same team that does your engagement shoot and wedding day of content because a relationship and trust forms over that time. I honestly could not recommend Chasing Light enough. If you care about your photos and videos, it's a no brainer to book Chasing Light!

To me, capturing the moments of your wedding day is not only about making photos. It is about seeing your love in every single detail. The way you look, smile, touch and hold each other’s hands are those tiny things that help me portray the story of your big love without any words being said.

Natalia , she’s a great photographer with an amazing eye for unique shots. Her photography tells a story and on our courthouse wedding day, her photography truly showed a beautiful perspective. She communicates great; and delivers the gallery very timely. She’s professional and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely be using her again for future life events !

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!
