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.

I cannot recommend Wellington and his videographer from Artistic Pro Photography enough! They had worked with us as a DJ for a wedding and a party. They were very friendly with us and helped us on moving our equipment. I saw their photos and videos from the wedding gallery and they are very good. The bride and groom are very happy with their works. We would love to work with them again or give them referrals.

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.

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.

We seriously could not be happier with how our photos turned out!!!

She directed us very well in moments where we didn't know what to do & kept coming up with new, exciting ideas the whole time, which allowed us to feel confident in each pose and space. 10000/10 would recommend Talya!!!

My Sun And Stars Co.

  • Serves San Luis Rey, CA

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!

Erin Evangeline Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Fine art style

  • Serves San Luis Rey, CA

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!

Paige Nelson Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Serves San Luis Rey, CA

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.

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*
