I was raised in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California. I was drawn to photography in middle school and would enter photos of our family pets or family backpacking trips in our local county fair. My passion for photography grew while working as a hiking guide in Yosemite National Park. I mean… who wouldn’t want a stunning photo of Half Dome? El Capitan? Yosemite Falls? But it has been photographing wedding and couples that I find the most fun and rewarding. I have found loving hearts, wild souls, and adventurous spirits to be my people. I strive to visually capture the “spirit” of my subjects and record an emotional memory of the occasion.

I would recommend Katie to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer who will capture the beauty and joy of their special day!!

DJ Preston Foreman 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves Santee, CA

Hey there, I'm DJ Preston! My DJ journey began at 15, and it's been an incredible ride ever since. Starting in 1995, I spun tracks for school dances, bars, and clubs, then moved into radio, spending 8 years on air. I've performed at award shows, corporate events, weddings, and traveled the country for nightclub gigs, even sharing stages with big-name artists. Recently, I was honored as one of the best wedding DJs in San Diego by California Wedding Day in 2024. I love creating unforgettable atmospheres where everyone can dance and have an amazing time.

We interviewed several DJ's before settling on DJ Preston for our wedding at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. We were impressed with Preston's responses to our interview, we could tell he cared about attention to detail and enjoyed his craft. On the day of the wedding Preston was an absolute professional. The music was the perfect volume from pre-ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dancing. The audio for all speeches was perfect as well. I heard from several of our guests "the DJ was great!" so what else is there to say? I didn't have much banter with Preston before or after the wedding, but if you're looking for a professional who pays attention to the details and delivers a great set, then Preston is your guy! He did a great job reading the vibe for our dollar dance and facilitating an amazing night. Thanks Preston!!

Im a San Diego based wedding photographer who specializes in shooting film. I love shooting in natural light and capturing people as they are. I try not to pose but to create photos that tell your story as a couple.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Colman as our wedding photographer! We can't stop looking at all the beautiful photos from our wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum, a somewhat atypical venue that Colman (and his second photographer Miro) did a great job shooting at. Colman is so friendly and really put us at ease thoughout the whole process, and was flexible in accommodating our desire to balance some great posed photos with also having plenty of time to enjoy ourselves and talk to our guests. He was also extraordinarily generous in taking several glamour shots of our guests which have been so fun to send out to our loved ones. We also appreciated the included engagement shoot prior to the wedding, which aside from the photos provided an opportunity for us to get to know Colman a little before the hectic wedding day. Colman shoots on both film and digital, which we love, and the product is the perfect combination of elevated and natural. We have some gorgeous traditional shots, some really fun ones, and several beautifully artistic ones that we'll cherish forever. They feel timeless and capture all the joy of our wedding day. We are so grateful and highly recommend Colman!

This also means that we are engaged throughout the whole process with our clients from beginning to end to deliver the vision of your special day.

From the very first phone call, sticking with us two years later, and finally having our wedding, Dennis and Marlon were AMAZING!!! Dennis knew exactly what to play from the ceremony music to reception to get everyone moving and grooving. My husband and I are from the Bay Area and we had one request - Hyphy music. Boy did Dennis deliver! He was playing hit after hit of all the bangers, and the only reason we stopped dancing was due to timing and we had to cut the music. He listened to our very specific song requests, great communication/professionalism throughout, and just the absolute best! Marlon is a vibe!! He also stepped in to make sure everything was going smoothly. We truly appreciate all of his efforts throughout the night to keep things on schedule. He was also taking pictures throughout the night which we loved!! My family and friends could not stop saying how wonderful he was. Having a wedding with this dynamic duo is a MUST! Thank you both for everything and making sure our day was one we could truly remember. We are filled with nostalgia and awe, and have you both to thank for it!

DJ Joseph was great!! I recently had him DJ (and his son helped out at the photo booth) for my wedding this past weekend. From start to finish, DJ Joseph brought incredible energy, kept the dance floor going, and made the entire evening flow seamlessly. He was professional, communicated well, and was able to make changes when we asked for it. The music selection was great—he took our playlist and added and took away songs (with our permission) that kept all ages dancing. Our guests are still talking about how fun the reception was, and we know DJ Joseph played a huge role in that! His lights and photobooth add ons were perfect too, it was a HUGE hit with my guests. Thank you so much Joseph!! :)

Flora

San Diego, CA
  • Venue
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor

An event at Flora presents itself polished and turnkey with features like wainscot walls, custom doors, and bespoke furnishings. Visualize lofted ceilings, a 70-foot long living wall, two 12-foot custom skylights, hanging garden chandeliers, and over 130 plants. The amenities give the venue a life of its own with a state of the art sound system, wooden house tables, chairs, movable partitions, and built-in color LED lighting. To top it off, Flora blends an entirely renovated interior with original, exposed wood beams from its initial construction in 1922 as a tribute to our past. We invite you to walk the botanically-lined path of Flora’s entrance and into a space unlike that of any San Diego event venue before it - we have made a statement; make yours at Flora.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Lush gardens
  • Pets can join the celebration
  • Historic touches

Venue considerations

  • No free parking
  • No on-site bridal suite
  • No all-inclusive dining options
Choosing Flora as our venue was by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We initially had viewed other downtown San Diego locations and just happened to find them and get them on the schedule, and it was absolutely the right decision. Full disclosure up front, they do have a relatively strict contract regarding the rules and regulations of the venue. With that being said, their team was incredibly open and responsive in having conversations about the contract, and personalized it when we identified some very specific circumstances as it related to us. Due to a smaller guest count we were owed money after the wedding, and we received the check in the mail, along with the security deposit, two days after the event had taken place which was a great weight off our shoulders. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The live foliage indoors with the skylights immediately sold us as soon as we entered the building. The floor layout is perfect for small to mid-sized guest counts, with ours seating 80 people perfectly. With the gorgeous tables, chairs, and other décor housed on-site it makes planning rentals and decorations that much easier not needing to deal with outside vendors. The staff could not have been more professional if we had asked. Katherine, Jameson, Erin, and the rest of their team were consistently responsive in the planning and execution of the wedding, constantly providing feedback and information when it was required. We had a handful of elderly/handicapped guests, and Jameson personally went to each and every one of them throughout the night to ensure that if there was anything they needed it would be taken care of. Especially on the day-of the wedding, Jameson was absolutely exceptional along with the bar staff in ensuring that transitions went smoothly and the guests had a great experience. He was always available for a phone call or email, and worked with us directly in problem solving and brainstorming ideas to make our day as special as possible. There have been countless guests who have given us feedback on how great the bar service was, which we could not have been happier with. All-in-all, Flora was an incredible venue to host our special day. We cannot give their team and the location better recommendations for couples looking to have a downtown San Diego wedding.

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 amazing! She is professional, super sweet, and a pleasure to work with. She was willing to help with anything to make the day go perfect-from fixing my lip liner to bustling my dress she is all hands on deck and makes it happen! Not to mention her photos are unreal!

They also pitched in ideas for additional rentals and reviewed our final rentals list to make sure we were covered. On the day of our wedding, their staff was friendly and professional, ensuring the food service went off without a hitch. The quality of their work was truly outstanding - the presentation of the dishes was beautiful, and our guests raved about how delicious and filling the meal was, from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the entrees. We were blown away by the value we received, as the food was worth every penny. Of course, there were some unplanned moments and guests, all of which were quickly and professionally taken care of by TWTC whether it be an additional plate or serving. The tasting we did prior to the big day was also such a memorable experience, with the chef and event coordinator going above and beyond to make us feel special. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience, and we're so grateful to The Wild Thyme Company for helping make our wedding day so perfect.

Heather and Christophe are the best and we were so fortunate to work with them during our wedding planning process!! Heather is incredibly organized, patient, and kind -- she is the person you need on your team. She is there for you (even from across the world). During all of the wedding planning craziness, she was our biggest advocate and support. We are incredibly appreciative. During our wedding weekend, she took care of everything so we could really enjoy the moment! Christophe brought his positive energy, enthusiasm, humor, and amazing talent to our special day. Everyone who met him at the wedding loved him instantly and he made taking photos enjoyable. He took the most beautiful photos & videos -- we have not stopped admiring them. They really speak for themselves. The quality is just so so good!! Together they make the best team. They took on a big challenge with helping us with our crazy two-day 200 person wedding and we absolutely could not have done it without them. Everything came together and if there were any bumps during the actual events we had no idea because they took care of everything. There are not enough thank yous in the world. Love, Abby & Gus

Welcome to The Dainty Daydream, where together we create beautifully styled gatherings- from romantic elopements in the mountains to breathtaking ceremonies in national parks or elegantly curated weddings closer to home. With a creative eye and attention to detail, we bring your vision to life seamlessly, from planning to execution- wherever your love story takes you.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Emily from Dainty Daydream for my wedding, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. I originally found her on Zola and hired her for day-of setup and design support—but she ended up being so much more than that. From the very beginning, Emily was incredibly responsive and kind, answering questions and offering guidance in the months leading up to our big day. We really dove in a month before the wedding to finalize all the details. I had already designed and chosen the decor myself, and Emily took everything I envisioned and brought it to life beautifully. On the wedding day, she handled setup and styling with such care and professionalism. Every detail was perfect, and walking into the finished space felt like stepping into my dream. Emily is sweet, calming, and so easy to work with. Dainty Daydream is a truly special company, and having her as part of our vendor team was one of the best decisions we made. If you’re looking for someone to bring your wedding vision to life with grace, precision, and heart—Emily is the one!

My name is Chelsea Ravansari, owner and artist of Chelsea Rose Beauty. I've been working in the beauty industry as a hair & makeup artist for 10+ years. I am also now a self-care coach. I create calming pampering experiences for brides in the chair and coach them through bridal wellness outside of the chair. Please stay in touch with me on Instagram!

Chelsea came to my house during the holidays for my HMU trial (that alone was so kind -- I had a limited amount of time in SD and she was so accommodating!!). I was so thrilled with the results -- I don't have a lot of experience with makeup and honestly didn't provide a lot of "inspo" but she took what I had and ran. I felt so beautiful while also feeling/looking like myself (which sometimes is not always the case with glam haha). Her attention to detail was amazing, and she accentuated my natural features. And the hair...ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I felt so confident going into my engagement photos, and I cannot wait for my actual wedding day (and I'll follow up with a review then!). If you want to feel pampered and have a caring professional who will listen to your wants and needs and make you look AMAZING...Chelsea is your gal! I just know my friends and family will also love working with her on the big day :)

Cannot say great enough things about Creative Happens, Dan, and Chris! Dan was so kind, professional, and helped us from the beginning in planning a destination wedding at a private venue, finding the best vendors, and answering every question we had! The best part of the planning process- the online workbook Dan creates. Such an easy way to see where things are at in the planning process and an easy way to communicate with Dan and his team. Chris was also incredibly friendly, answered all of our wedding questions, and was fantastic supporting us both for our rehearsal and day of with Dan. We are so thankful to Creative Happens for all their help, and strongly recommend them for planning any event.

Durell was nothing short of incredible. He was so easy to work with and throughout the process I could tell he just wanted to make sure he delivered for us. He was patient and accommodating with our requests and I really appreciated him sending sample recordings of each of our key songs that he needed to learn for our big day. In addition, so many of our guests remarked at how beautiful the music was at our ceremony and cocktail hour. Overall we could not be more pleased with Durell and cannot recommend him enough!

Love Story Vows 

5.0

  • Officiant
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $395
  • Serves Santee, CA

Vibrant and warmhearted Officiant Heidi, creates authentic ceremonies filled with romance, love, and laughter. She will capture your personal love story. Heidi has married over 1200 people since 2016.

Heidi is an absolute gem of a human. She came recommended to us by our wedding photographers and was the perfect officiant for our LA elopement. We felt a connection to her from the very beginning and she made us feel like family. Over the course of several months, we worked together on crafting our personalized ceremony that included a hand fasting and tarot card pull. We then completed a questionnaire that was used to tell our love story. I was genuinely taken aback at the heartfelt way our answers wove together to tell the story of our relationship. I should also mention how meaningful it was that our final tarot card that we pulled was The Heirophant - literally the marriage card. It made our ceremony feel even more magical! We are so grateful for her involvement in making our day perfect — and we are glad to call her Aunt Heidi!
