“Lulan created our pre-wedding ceremony photos at Caesar's Palace and the Botanical Garden at the Bellagio. Lulan outdid himself on this day in 103-degree weather. He made me look like a 1960's Chanel model. He created whimsical photo moments and good lighting balance. Highly recommend Lulan. Wish I could relive the moment all over again.”

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

I’m a people person. I’m observant, intuitive, and deeply inspired by real connection. I care about experiences, emotion, and the kind of moments that can’t be staged. I love photography because it’s storytelling in its purest form. It’s the ability to capture energy, emotion, and meaning in a split second. What drives me is creating images that go beyond aesthetics — photos that hold memory, movement, and feeling. For me, photography is about preserving what’s real, so you can return to it again and again.

“Maya exceeded every expectation. Her eye for detail, light, and emotion is truly exceptional. She captured our wedding day with such elegance and authenticity — every image feels intentional, refined, and full of feeling. Beyond her talent, Maya is professional, kind, and a joy to work with. Our gallery is timeless, emotional, and absolutely stunning. We would book her again in a heartbeat.”

I would love to connect more with you at katieclarephotos. com! I was raised in Northern California and 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 strive to visually capture the “spirit” of my subjects and record an emotional memory of the occasion.

“From the moment we first reached out to Katie Clare Photography, we were impressed by their prompt, friendly, and personalized communication style. On the day of our wedding, Katie and her team were incredibly organized and talented, seamlessly capturing all the special moments without ever being intrusive. During our engagement shoot, Katie made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which translated to beautiful, natural-looking photos. And on our wedding day, she was able to get all the perfect shots without ever being in the way. We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend Katie Clare Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience!!”

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
“Madison's not just someone with a camera and capability, she's a photographer with a natural good eye as well. We appreciated her clean subject alignments/angles and more true-to-color editing and were very impressed by the pictures we got back from reception, where we had pretty complex indoor lighting: A whole wall of windows behind us most of the time and then dark brown ballroom lighting into the evening (@Loews Hotel). Not to mention, we asked her to minimize using flash as a personal preference and she was so receptive and remembering of that too. Communicating with her was like talking to a friend. She was responsive, engaged, and inclusive. Could go on and on, but her images speak for themselves because she is consistent both in her photography style as well as personality!”

“We were so lucky to find PKA Photo and Video to capture the memories of our wedding day! We had an intimate wedding on Coronado Beach with just our family members, and we absolutely love the highlight video Mia made for us! What made it even more special was how she was able to incorporate the personal song we wrote and sang with each other. Hearing the groom's guitar strumming and our own voices singing the duet in the background was so meaningful. Listening to our vows, (which were clearly recorded - by the way), and seeing the beautiful video clips of our family on the beach is a cherished gift. We are so blessed to have this video to replay when we look back on this most precious day of our lives. It makes us so emotional thinking about what happened to us with our previous videographer, and how they came to our rescue by agreeing to be our videographer at the last minute. We are truly grateful. Mia and LaRon are an amazing team, and we highly recommend their photography services!”

I've photographed nearly 500 couples over the years, and I still love the part of photography that happens in between the “big moments” — the nervous laughs, the little looks, the hugs, and everything that makes a day feel like yours. I photograph throughout San Diego and Southern California, and I'm also available for Joshua Tree elopements and destination elopements throughout California. I’m here for couples who want beautiful photographs but don't want their entire day to feel like a photoshoot.

From our first conversation, MJ was incredibly responsive and professional, making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. On our wedding day, she helped us with posing while keeping the atmosphere light and fun—we found ourselves laughing throughout the shoot, which made everything feel natural. The photos turned out stunning, and we were blown away by how quickly she delivered the final images. Beyond being a fantastic photographer, she's also a genuinely wonderful person who made us feel comfortable and cared for. We're thrilled with the results and would absolutely recommend Replica Photography to any couple looking for someone who combines creativity, professionalism, and heart. I have hired MJ for numerous events after she did our intimate wedding because we loved her work so much.”

I love all things weddings because witnessing couples' happiness brings me joy and fuels my creativity. I want to create photographs that can stand the test of time so couples can relive their day years from now and for generations to come.

“My husband and I hired Khoa to photograph our wedding day and our engagement and we are so happy with our photos and our experience working with him. He is so talented and captured everything so beautifully, better than we ever could have imagined! My husband and I are generally quite camera shy and don’t love having our photos taken, but we genuinely had so much fun working with Khoa - it felt like getting pictures taken by a (really talented) friend. We never felt awkward or out of our depth. Khoa was so thoughtful, encouraging, and provided just enough guidance to help us along without ever being intrusive or overbearing. It was really important to us to feel like ourselves on our wedding day, without having to pose and posture too much, and Khoa struck that balance perfectly! To top it off, Khoa is professional, responsive, and so reliable. I am Vietnamese and it was also so helpful to have someone bilingual to shepherd and wrangle my family together on our wedding day.

We were blown away by the quality of our photos, both on film and digital. We had such variety of photos to choose from (settings, poses, lighting, angles) etc. One of our biggest insecurities was looking comfortable in front of the camera and not too "posed". Emily was wonderful a guiding us behind the camera and giving us prompts to make the photos feel natural and genuine. I cannot recommend her enough!

Chasing Light | Photo & Video is a San Diego-based wedding photography and videography team devoted to capturing the real moments that make a wedding unforgettable. The quiet glances, the uncontrollable laughter, the tears during a first look—these are the moments that matter most. With a documentary-style approach, the team focuses on preserving the genuine emotion and natural beauty of each couple’s story as it unfolds. Russ and Clara, a husband-and-wife team with more than a decade of experience documenting weddings together. Their shared passion for storytelling allows them to see moments from both an artistic and emotional perspective.

“Hiring Russ and Clara for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! From our very first meeting, they were warm, professional, and clearly passionate about their work. On the big day, they were a calming presence, blending in effortlessly while still managing to capture every important moment and so many beautiful candid ones we didn’t even realize were happening. The photos are breathtaking. Every image tells a story full of emotion, light, and all the little details that made our day special. Clara has such an incredible eye and a true talent for capturing the feeling of the moment, not just the image. We received our gallery faster than expected, and we were blown away by the quality and care put into every photo. These are memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime, and we’re so grateful to have had such a skilled and thoughtful photographer by our side. If you're looking for someone who will not only deliver stunning photos but also bring calm, kindness, and professionalism to your wedding day they are it. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”
