Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves San Diego, CA

After 10 years of marriage, the memories from our special day have slowly faded. With weddings going by in a flash, it's nearly impossible to commit it all to memory and with time, it will fade. The work we do, the memories we capture will last you a lifetime. We know that decades from now you will be flipping through your photo album or watching your wedding video; overflowing with love and joy. Knowing this is what motivates us!

Gleimlight Photography & Productions was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From the first time we spoke with them, they demonstrated a clear and thoughtful communication style, asking all the right questions to truly understand us as a couple and the specific photos we wanted to capture on our special day. Their work was absolutely beautiful - they had an incredible eye for detail and perfectly framed every moment, using flattering lighting and editing to make our photos look stunning. Gleimlight worked seamlessly throughout the event, maintaining a professional demeanor while also being a calming presence. We couldn't be happier with the final photos, which beautifully immortalized all the joy and love of our wedding day.

Madison Wilson Photography was a fantastic photographer for our wedding. She was very responsive and thorough in her communication with us leading up to the big day, answering all of our questions in detail.

We are excellent and experienced photographer and videographer for weddings and engagements. I have been a lifetime photography hobbyist since I was a teenager. I enjoy taking pictures and playing around with different advanced equipment. I am confident that my work is just as good or even better than what you paid $3000 for the most professional photographer for a wedding. I am using a top-notch full frame Nikon DSLR camera with top notch Nikon lenses. I also have a Sony 4K camcorder that can record excellent 4K videos. Therefore, we can be your excellent videographer too for your wedding or party.

Wellington is 5 stars, no doubt. My husband and I had a hard time committing at first because choosing a photographer is a huge decision. That, and it always seems expensive at 3,000 and up (remember, most of their time is truly spent planning and editing, not just being there day of). We need to pay most of our wedding ourselves. That is why we hold off our photographer selection until just 2 months before our wedding. After much research and requested quotes from about 30 photographers. We found Artistic Pro Photography and Wellington to be within our budget and actually below our budget. We were both skeptical at first, so we took the engagement session first. Wellington took us to a resort just 3 days after our request. The resort is beautiful with a duck pond and a beach. We had a fun time posing for him. He asked us to do multiple poses at the resort. The photos came out fabulously. We love his many poses. I showed off the photos to my friends and my parents. They all love them. I then booked them for our wedding. We were happy with his flexibility and ability from start to finish - everything from putting a photo/video package together, to understanding what we wanted, to wedding timeline feedback, to their unobtrusive and seamless participation day of. He took our photos, and his wife took our videos. We enjoyed the attention to detail they had. They got nearly every moment we asked for. They delivered in the number and quality of photos. The video also came out well and very sharp at 4K. One of our biggest joys was that we didn't even have to wait to see the images - we got the photos just 2 days after our wedding! We would 100% recommend Wellington and Sarah. Their price is also 5 stars. You cannot find such a good deal.

Hi! I’m Paige Hill — a San Diego-based wedding photographer with a heart for storytelling, a love for romance, and 12+ years behind the camera. With 200+ weddings captured across the U.S., my style is genuine, joyful, and deeply connected. I believe photography should feel effortless and true to you—like stills from your favorite romantic comedy or the lyrics to your favorite love song. I’m here for the real, joy-filled moments that feel beautifully and authentically you.

We chose Paige Hill Photography and couldn't have made a better decision. From our first conversation, Paige was responsive and supportive, making the entire process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, she captured stunning photos with that vintage vibe we loved, and her editing brought everything to life. What really stood out was how efficient she was, she got the shots we needed without eating up our timeline, which meant we actually got to enjoy the party instead of being stuck in photos all night. Paige helped us stay on schedule and made sure we hit every moment that mattered. She's truly the best at what she does and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who gets things done right.

  • Fine art style

Hi! I am so happy that you've found my page! I am an Elopement Photographer based in San Diego, CA and Park City, UT. My speciality is helping couples plan epic elopements that represent their values, personalities and love for nature.

If you’re considering eloping in San Diego—or anywhere, really—Talya is the person you need! She helped us plan our elopement at the San Diego County Administration Building, complete with fun activities for a sunny January day by the water and through Balboa Park. She created an itinerary that truly felt like us and was such a joy to work with—so communicative, organized, and fun every step of the way. Talya even visited our locations beforehand to ensure everything was perfect. She made us feel like absolute models with her posing guidance, while also ensuring we had those special moments to ourselves. The photos turned out incredible! Her creativity, attention to detail, and ability to capture the moment were flawless, no matter the weather or lighting. Her use of digital and film feels like the perfect combination for documenting our elopement to become a future family keepsake. She also sent sneak peeks by the next morning, which was the best way to wake up! We can’t recommend Talya Herring enough to anyone looking for an elopement photographer who feels like a friend on your big day.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Southwest Productions Photography for our wedding. Kin was our photographer, and he was outstanding. Not only was he punctual, he was genuinely one of the nicest, most easygoing people we worked with the entire day. Super friendly, great energy, and just made everything feel effortless. He drove two hours to get to our venue and showed up with a smile on his face like it was nothing. That kind of attitude makes a huge difference on a wedding day, it honestly took a lot of stress off us. On top of that, his photography was amazing. He knew exactly what he was doing, guided us when we needed it, and captured everything without making it feel staged or awkward. He went above and beyond in every way. We seriously cannot say enough good things about Kin or the experience as a whole. Just got the photos back and they look perfect.

TOMORROW ISN’T PROMISED TO ANYONE, SO IT’S UP TO YOU TO DOCUMENT YOUR TODAY. YOUR RIGHT NOW. YOUR LIFE. Everybody has a story and I’m fascinated to learn yours. I come from a close knit family of 7, grew up in Sacramento, CA, and now have a super supportive husband while raising 2 fun, spunky children in San Diego, CA that mean the world to me. I believe that FAMILY IS EVERYTHING. I promise to capture the details, but most importantly, the people and moments that surround you on your wedding day.

Sandra is truly talented at what she does in making sure that your vision for your wedding comes true and I’m so happy that I chose her as my wedding photographer. She is super sweet and patient with answering questions and making sure your needs are met. I am so in love with the photos that she captured of my special day that I will forever cherish.

Hello, I’m Megan! Legacy preserver, fine art creator, wedding photographer...and completely-obsessed dog mom. (Send me an email with a picture of your fur baby attached and see how fast I respond!) Of all the things I could share about My Sun and Stars and my work as a wedding photographer, here’s the first thing I want you to know: I don’t believe in imposing a mood onto your memories. Trendy edits, filters, and lighting choices don't add anything to the meaningful moments you share on your wedding day. In fact, they can actually detract from your remembrance of them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Megan and her husband for our engagement session was such a lovely experience. It was our first time being professionally photographed ever and we were expecting to feel super awkward. But it turned out to be a perfectly tolerable and even enjoyable few hours. We were given enough instruction to help some poses look better, but not so much that we couldn’t feel comfortable to be ourselves or settle into what felt natural — especially since most of the session was in our home. We were given a few Polaroid sneak pics on the day of that’ll attach. Megan has a great eye for detail and we can’t wait to work together again at our wedding!

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 was just so easy to work with from the first point of communication on email prior to the wedding to tidying up before to during the wedding and after. It's a full service experience and she is just easy-going and great at capturing the moments! I even saw her dancing and enjoying herself during the Money Dance- so fun! Highly Recommend

Paige is a California wedding and portrait photographer, specializing in romantic wedding days for couples who value art and intentionality in their planning and imagery. Based in San Diego, but available for destinations worldwide.

When we came across Paige's work on the internet, we just knew that we wanted her to be our photographer for our wedding. Her eye is so great and she does what few photographers can, capture the emotion present with her lens. Our wedding was supposed to be a very large, 2 day affair. Then covid decided to put the kibosh on it all and our wedding turned out to be the 2 of us, an officiant and Paige. She beautifully rolled with the punches during this time and elegantly communicated with us and gave us wonderful client service in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. She is a true class act. We ended up shooting 2 different days in 2 different cities, both indoor and outdoor and even next to the Palm Springs windmills in 60 mph wind gusts! Paige was a true trouper and had all the right gear for every occasion. My (now) husband and I previously didn't really like the way we looked in photos hardly ever and were a bit concerned. We expressed this to Paige. The photos that we got back from her blew our minds. We loved all of them! It was so hard to narrow it down to show people! She not only captured light beautifully and has a wonderful eye for detail but she truly captured our love through her lens and made us feel beautiful. To top all of that off, she is an amazing human as well. Paige is a joy to work with and a brilliant photographer. I highly recommend working with her for any occasion.

Hi!!!! I am Nikki and it is my joy to provide you with beautiful images of your day. Seeing you relaxed, laughing and feeling beautiful is what fills my personal love tank.

No matter what your wedding day looks like I am here to capture all of the sweetness, tears and laughter of the day.

Nikki and Taylor were absolutely AMAZING!! Their energy is fantastic and they are very professional. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with them and they turned out incredible! I could not recommend them more! Nikki was willing to have a Plan A, B and C in place depending on if a family member was going to be able to make an appearance-it meant so much that we had plans in place depending on if the family member could make it.

I'm a light and airy wedding photographer in the San Diego area who loves pretty details and glowy light. I've been capturing weddings for 9 years. My images are warm, joyful and fun! I help my couples extensively with timelines to ensure we have the perfect photography timeline to capture all of your important photos.

Amira is absolutely amazing and not only talented but truly such a beautiful person inside and out. Her calming and engaging presence is so comforting and has a perfect blend of guiding a client organically, yet can assist with a pose to feel most feminine/masculine and enhancing the best of one's features. Her ability to capture beautiful moments, heartfelt feelings and joy between her couples, families and everything in between is goosebump worthy. She stops time through her camera and produces images that reflect a story; although the images are still, they are not motionless. She has the ability to capture that moment in its raw form and somehow layers an illusionary movement to the mind. Her photos, and editing combined produces an album of images that encompass a story. Simply put, Amira is magic *heart eyes*
