He was very responsive, flexible, and knew how to make my fiancé and I comfortable during our photoshoot.

“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.

“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.”

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.

“Oh where do I begin? Sandra was such a highlight of our wedding day. Her photos are phenomenal and I am truly in awe. We did an engagement shoot with her as apart of our photo package. When we got our photos back I knew we had made the right choice. Sandra is so personable and easy to communicate with, but I think her photography can speak for itself. We only have our wedding previews and I am dying to see the rest in the photos in a couple of weeks! If you don’t hire her, you are making a mistake!”

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!”

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!”

  • Fine art style
  • 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.”

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*”

Like dating searching for a photographer can be a long, drawn-out experience that leaves you exhausted, slightly confused, and fully ready to drink that wine you just bought straight out of the bottle. You’ve already gone down that road in the process of meeting your partner, so let’s not revisit those feelings. YOU’VE FOUND ME! My name is Sage and I enjoy gangster rap, vegetarian food, and AMC A-List night (RIP MoviePass). When I’m not shooting weddings, you can find me beach lounging, at the gym staying healthy, or cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Let's take some rad portraits and bond over some of our favorite movie quotes!
