Katherine was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer! She arrived on time, was very friendly and has an approachable demeanor. I mentioned to her that I was expecting at the time of the wedding photoshoot which she took into much consideration by making sure we took breaks in-between and offered me water throughout the entire event. She was very patient with all of us and we fell in love with her work, we hope we get the chance of working with her for family photos in the future!

Morgan McCanne Photo

San Diego, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,000

I’m a small town girl living in the big city of San Diego. You know the saying, “Home is where the heart is?” For me it has two meanings. If home is a physical place, mine is the magical little town where I was born – Ojai, California. It is a place where people can breathe deep and feel the wholeness of their lives. It's a magical little valley of peace happiness. If home is truly where the heart is, then mine is my family. In 2016, I married my best friend and the father of our beautiful son and daughter. We are a squad of awesomeness and those three hold my heart in the palm of their hands.

Morgan is absolutely incredible! I knew she was the photographer I wanted to work with years before I even got engaged and I was so thrilled when she agreed to work with me. She is warm, talented, professional, and also makes you feel so comfortable. I am in love with our photos and wish we could do the day all over again so that I can be immersed in Morgan's positive energy.

Maya Gray Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
San Diego, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,600

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!

Peter Jonathan Images 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
San Diego, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

I have traveled and photographed weddings and engagement shoots all over the country including internationally. I still get nervous before every wedding I photograph. If I didn’t have nervous tension, I probably would have lost the drive and passion for what I love doing the most. The reason for my love of wedding photography is simple: I love spending the day with brides and grooms creating wedding day memories that will last a lifetime. I hunt for moments that cannot be recreated or relived. I love capturing the raw emotion of a wedding day. I want to be the best not only for myself but especially for my clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
Just book Peter! You won’t regret it. Super cool and personable from our visit video call with him. He was very flexible with our engagement shoot and generous with his time. Let me tell you…his vision!? Oh my. We have GORGEOUS photos from our engagement sesh as well as our wedding. I literally could not believe my eyes once I saw the photos! Anyone can take photos but Pete has the vision and artistic eye for epic photos! I cannot recommend him enough!

  • Classic style

I cherish the moments spent with my family. Watching my kids grow and experience life has been inspiring, scary, and exciting at the same time. Life moves pretty fast, so you don't want to miss it. One of the reasons I love photography so much is because a photo has the ability to instantly bring us back in time to a particular moment and relive the emotion and joy that it captured. I love spending time with old friends and making new friends. Getting to know couples and capturing the intimate moments of their special days is incredibly rewarding and I consider myself very fortunate to truly love what I do for a living

We loved working with Jason, he did both our engagement shoot and wedding photos. Jason is very professional, talented, communicative, and easy going- which is exactly what we were looking for. We would highly recommend him for your special day or any shoot.

Hi & Welcome to Otto Kelly Photography. My name is Susan and I am the Lead Photographer. Otto Kelly Photography is also a wife & husband team when hiring both Photo + Video. We are San Diego based and have been capturing weddings since 2016. We love traveling throughout Southern California and get the opportunity to capture so many amazing couples every year.

Susan was amazing to work with. My fiance and I were wanting formal engagement photos for our Save the Dates and social media and the photos turned out amazing! Susan was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. She was so knowledgeable, friendly and professional with helping us pose naturally as it was our first formal photo shoot and were very nervous and inexperienced at the time. She was very open to adding in any props/shots that we wanted but also was able to take the lead when we needed. The delivery of photos was easy and her editing style is gorgeous. I would highly recommend her, I still love looking at the photos, they were perfect for wedding decor.

Cate Batchelor Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
San Diego, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Fueled by equal parts caffeine and passion, I spend my days capturing images that make you stop, smile and wish that time would slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in photographs you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the back patio. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

Cate has been a longtime event photographer for me, and I trust her implicitly with my events. We have a wonderful working relationship and I never worry whether my client's vision or my designs for them will be well represented, and they are flawlessly done. My business would not be as successful as it is if I didn't have her to document what I do and what I can offer to my clients. What I love in particular is her talent for documenting finer details, things that are often overlooked in the larger event scale. I truly appreciate all of her work and can't imagine not having her on my go-to list of product and client services.

I’m Erin Wiese, a Southern California/Texas based photographer who’s obsessed with storytelling for the wildly in love and the adventurous at heart. Photography has been my means of expression since the age of sixteen when I received my first camera. Most days you can find me taking pictures of humans in love, going on walks during golden hour, exploring new places, listening to true crime podcasts, and petting alllllll the dogs. I'm here to make you feel loved, seen, laugh + have a good freaking time. I can’t wait to meet you and hear your story!

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with Erin! We was responsive and on top of things from the beginning. She had such a great attitude and energy, which really eased a lot of our uncomfortable-ness of being in front of a camera. For our engagement photos, she spent a lot of time scouting out the best locations at our venue to ensure we got some really beautiful photos. Which of course we did! For the wedding, she made sure to get every single specific photo I told her was important to me. Even ones I had forgotten about in the moment. I was truly grateful for how patient she was the day of and how organized she was. We’ve only gotten our sneak peek photos but so far but they are incredible! She is so talented and has such a beautiful eye for photography! Book Erin!

I’m a wedding photographer based in Southern California, focused on capturing natural, emotional, and unposed moments. My approach is calm and unobtrusive — I don’t over-direct or force stiff posing. Instead, I focus on real connection, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that tell the true story of your day. I work best with couples who value authenticity over perfection and want their photos to feel like their memories, not a production. Now booking 2026 weddings and elopements across San Diego and Southern California.

Absolutely amazing, I’m glad i got to work with Liubov for my wedding. Her communication was tremendous, very polite, easy to work with and her pictures came out amazing. I highly recommend. Thank you for all you did

Francis Ralph Potograpiya 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
San Diego, CA
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,850

Hello! I'm Francis Ralph but my friends call me Frank. I'm the owner and head portrait artist of Francis Ralph Potograpiya (also known as Team Francis Ralph). I'm just a guy with a passion for creativity, memorable moments, and everything wedding-related. Honestly, weddings make me happy. They're really special to me because they've allowed me to be my own boss plus I get to meet so many amazing people all across the country and capture their special moments throughout the day. I just love it!

In my career as an architect, I’ve learned that the most important part of a structure isn't the steel or the glass—it’s the space where life actually happens. When I set out to find a photographer for my wedding to Amanda, I didn't need a commodity or a 'scrapbook' technician. I needed a personality fit that could handle the weight of our story. ​Frank brought Maggie and they didn't just take pictures; they mapped the emotional waypoints of a soul-level experience. Their dynamic is energizing, but it’s their discernment that sets them apart. They didn't just document our day; they absorbed it. They captured the 'unfiltered reality' of our spiritual honesty—the space between us in our vows, the gravity of our first look, and the raw joy in our family’s faces. ​Frank was professional, well-equipped, and moved through the day with an intensity of purpose that allowed me to stay grounded. He didn't care if a hair was out of place; he cared if the spiritual connection of our kiss was visible. There are certainly lots of photographers, but if you want a witness to your authentic self, Frank is a good one.

Hi! My name is Brooke, and I am a Wedding, Maternity, and Boudoir photographer based in San diego, CA. Every time I get behind the lens, I look at it like a new challenge; a new way of creating a piece of art. My goal is to take a split second and breathe life into it, in an artistic and unexpected way. Capturing love, and unique beauty is something that brings me SO much joy. Something about bringing out a persons inner beauty, and letting it shine through an image makes me literally the happiest person on this earth. I feel like it is such an honor to get to capture couples during one of the most important days of their life.

Brooke has been so wonderful from booking her to the Engagement shoot to our wedding photography to the selection of photos for the album. I can't praise her enough. She is so professional and experienced, had all the best suggestions. She truly is the epitome of a perfect photographer. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process.
