Allen Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Oceanside, CA
  • Offer

Hi, I'm Heather. I'm a wedding photographer and I will travel anywhere in the world to photograph your day. My style is loose editorial. I bring real direction so you feel confident and know what to do, and then I back off and let the genuine moments happen. You get bold, stylish portraits and real in-between feelings in the same gallery. I want your photos to look incredible and actually feel like you, not a version of you that's been posed and polished into someone else.

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!

Indigo West 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Oceanside, CA

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

Awarded Best of Zola
We enjoyed the overall experience with Indigo West from the start. He understood our preference for mostly candid photography and he did mostly that, leaving us plenty of time to mingle with guests. The photos he did direct we also loved it was nice he kept that quick, which made it very easy for us! Very happy with this vendor!

I’m here to capture nostalgic memories and help you remember the emotions behind the photos. I love capturing those truly candid moments. The kind of photos that put you right back in the moment five, ten, fifty years later. I'm a Southern California based photographer that will travel wherever you want to document your love! I'm constantly exploring with laid-back couples that want to capture genuine moments about their relationship. When I'm not taking pictures, you can usually find me hanging out with my loved ones, hiking, watching sitcoms, or taking a spontaneous trip.

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!

Erin Evangeline Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Oceanside, CA
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600

I'm Erin. I'm a photographer, traveler, and wide-eyed wonderer. I split my time between the Midwest and my bungalow near the beach in Oceanside, CA. My favorite pastimes include exploring Disneyland, watching Schitts Creek & Ted Lasso, and cuddling my dog. I have a loud laugh. I love cabernet franc, chocolate chip cookies, and I'm on a constant search for the best tacos in the world.

Erin is an incredibly warm person and immediately made us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot. We had never done a shoot like this and were nervous and worried about feeling awkward, but her easygoing demeanor and natural instructions took all the stress off of us and we really enjoyed the experience. Erin has a detailed eye and a talent for capturing the natural beauty of the outdoors which was important to us. After our first great experience, we asked her to shoot our wedding as well on a cliff overlooking Sedona, AZ. She captured the scenery and golden hour lighting in breathtaking shots that were flattering of us and perfectly captured the grandeur of the red rocks around us. We will treasure the photos forever. Thank you Erin!

HRichardson Photography

Oceanside, CA
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,750

I started my photography business with a simple goal in mind: to capture real, authentic moments that tell a love story in the most genuine way possible. Photography has been a passion of mine for years, and weddings quickly became my favorite because of the emotion, joy, and once-in-a-lifetime moments they hold. I love creating a comfortable environment where couples can relax and just be themselves while I document the magic. Every wedding is unique, and I feel honored every time a couple trusts me to preserve their memories.

HRichardson Photography was absolutely wonderful to work with for our daughters birthday. Hanna communicates very well and responds super quick! She puts the most effort into capturing memorable moments. Hanna made my whole family happy and involved, and even made my baby smile and laugh. We were very pleased with her work and attention to detail. If anyone wants photos they'll look back at every single day, she is the person to take them. Hanna made us very happy and delivered our album of photos the next day. I am just in AWE with how great she is - everyone needs photos taken by her!!

I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Melissa working in the industry on one of the most difficult shoots I've ever been on. That night she was a total professional and amazing photographer and we quickly bonded. I trust her so much that when it was time for my wedding she was who I asked to capture it. She travelled to France to photograph our wedding and was there like one of our family. She kept us calm and having fun in the stressful moments and her creativity made some of the most incredible wedding photos we could have imagined. Now years later Melissa is the person we call first when it is time to capture our family growing. If her photographs aren't enough to convince you, take it from someone who filmed weddings for 13 years; Melissa is the person you want capturing your day.

We went from the beach to some really cool spots in downtown Oceanside, and each location brought out a different side of my stepdaughter’s personality. Pamela made the whole experience fun and relaxed, which really helped her feel at ease in front of the camera. The photos came back so fast, and they’re absolutely fantastic! If you’re looking for a photographer who’s talented, creative, and just gets it, Pamela is your go-to. We’re thrilled with the photos and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Oceanside, CA
  • Photojournalistic style

I'm a restless wanderer with a new project always brewing in my head. It could be building a custom camper van, a new character to develop, or designing my dream off grid compound. Photography helps me to be completely in the moment, focused on what's happening in the here & now. It allows me to fully connect with the energy of the situation, & to capture that energy as I feel it. My images are meant to be timeless, to maintain their feeling as styles change and fads come & go. When in nature I find myself always in a state of awe, thinking of the ancient feet that have walked the same path & the wandering eyes that have seen the same sights.

Hi! My name is Madison, but you can call me Maddi. Raised in Maryland, I've lived in Colorado, South Dakota, and Germany. I now live in San Diego with my husband and our two dogs. I've always had a love for photography and I feel privileged to bring my passion to life. I want my photos to capture the genuine feeling of the moment and to reflect you and your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are absolutely thrilled with our experience with Madison! From the moment we met, she was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. 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. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for not just a photographer, but someone who genuinely cares about making your day perfect.

There honestly aren’t enough words to describe how grateful we are for David and Hailey. From the booking process, to our engagement session, and all the way through our wedding day, they made us feel so seen, cared for, and completely at ease. Neither of us are naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but somehow they created an environment where we could just be ourselves. Nothing ever felt forced or overly posed. They guided us with so much patience and intention, and because of that, every photo felt genuine. On our wedding day, they brought such a grounding presence. In the middle of all the excitement and emotions, they helped us slow down, breathe everything in, and truly experience the day together. They were thoughtful, organized, and incredibly attentive. What stands out even more than their talent is the heart they put into what they do. You can feel how deeply they care about their couples and about preserving moments that actually matter. They noticed the quiet in-between moments, the emotional reactions, the small details, and somehow captured the feeling of the entire day so perfectly. When we received our gallery, we both cried. These are memories we’ll cherish forever, and we truly couldn’t have imagined trusting anyone else with them. David and Hailey are not only incredibly talented photographers, but they are genuinely kind people who pour so much love and intention into their work. Having them by our side on our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made, and we cannot recommend The Brews Photography enough!
