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.

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.

She truly took the time to understand our vision and executed it perfectly — every shot feels exactly like “us.” The photos themselves are beyond stunning — timeless and vibrant. These are memories we will treasure forever, and we have Paige to thank for capturing them so beautifully.

Wellington worked with my husband and I for our engagement and wedding pictures. He was awesome to work with from him as a person to his attention to all the details and professionalism. When we first took our engagement photos, he made the experience fun and the pictures really expressed who my husband and I are together. Before our wedding day, Wellington came to our rehearsal for no pay. He did a walk through with us and helped plan out the pictures and locations. On our wedding day, he captured everything that we had talked about and so much more. Everything he did had a purpose and at the end of it our pictures came out great. All of the photos are amazing. I would highly recommend Wellington for any event. If you hire him, you won’t be disappointed. He is a nice guy too.

We couldn't be happier that Pol was our wedding photographer! I gave him a Pinterest mood board with my vision, and he delivered that and so much more. He used two different cameras, including one that gave us the beautiful film look I had dreamed of. He gave wonderful direction on poses. He captured heartfelt moments with our families and was incredibly dedicated, making a huge effort throughout the entire day. His creativity, style, and professionalism truly shone through in every shot. The way he captured our day and the happiness, was beyond what I had hoped for, and I’m so grateful for the stunning memories he helped create. We hiiighly recommend Pol of SweetPaperMedia!!

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!!! Not only did Talya capture incredible photos, she was also amazing to work with and created such a safe, fun space, which was especially important for my girlfriend who doesn't like being in front of the camera too much. 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!!!

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. Thank you Sandra for making my fairytale wedding come true!

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.

My Sun and Stars Co is my absolute favorite photographer to have photograph my flowers. The photos always make me soo happy! They're accurate to reality, not edited to be sepia or whatever other filter, and its really wonderful to be a package offering.

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

  • Serves San Marcos, 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.

No matter what your wedding day looks like I am here to capture all of the sweetness, tears and laughter of the day. The wedding day itself is a bleep in the lifetime of memories you will make with your partner but it is my joy to make sure you remember each and every magical moment!

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*
