Sound Originals did a fantastic job photographing our wedding! Ari and Ali were very professional and they understood how to set up good shots. I'm amazed by how good the lighting was in most of the photos, even in some rooms at the church that weren't as well lit. There are a few photos I wish had been full body rather than cut off at the ankles, oh well. At the end of the night when our coverage had ended before the wedding did, they waited till the end of a song before saying goodbye instead of interrupting, which we greatly appreciated.

HRichardson Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Vista, CA

I started my photography business with a simple goal in mind: to capture real, authentic moments that tell a love story in the most genuine way possible. Photography has been a passion of mine for years, and weddings quickly became my favorite because of the emotion, joy, and once-in-a-lifetime moments they hold. I love creating a comfortable environment where couples can relax and just be themselves while I document the magic. Every wedding is unique, and I feel honored every time a couple trusts me to preserve their memories.

HRichardson Photography was absolutely wonderful to work with for our daughters birthday. Hanna communicates very well and responds super quick! She puts the most effort into capturing memorable moments. Hanna made my whole family happy and involved, and even made my baby smile and laugh. We were very pleased with her work and attention to detail. If anyone wants photos they'll look back at every single day, she is the person to take them. Hanna made us very happy and delivered our album of photos the next day. I am just in AWE with how great she is - everyone needs photos taken by her!!

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.

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!

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.

We are Hayes and Bree, your San Diego wedding photo and video duo! In 2020, we met online, but were stunned that both of us had been capturing weddings through photography and videography separately for years! After getting married, we combined our businesses to create one where we not only get to continue doing what we love, but get to do it together. Whether it's a local wedding in San Diego or traveling to gorgeous spots like the European countryside, we would love for you to come along for the journey!

I have worked with Hayes and Bree now twice and their work is simply astonishing. Not only do they capture all the key moments of the day, but they also notice every little detail; the venue, other vendors, the energy of the guests and more! They are so nice to be around: they keep the environment relaxed, and you will always be met with a smile and encouraging words! And they deliver the gallery super fast! They are the best!

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!

Hello! I'm so glad you're here. I’m Emma, a full-time wedding and engagement photographer. When hiring a photographer for the sweetest moments of your life, it’s important to know what to expect not only from the photos you will be given but also from the experience you will have while having them taken. What to expect when hiring me as your photographer? Expect me to cry through your vows at your wedding. I’m the biggest sucker for love (hence why I became a wedding photographer!)

My wife and I hired Emma for our wedding in Costa Mesa and we are so happy that we did! Emma made us feel instantly comfortable and captured such beautiful photos of our wedding. We were originally a bit nervous because my wife and I don’t typically do photoshoots and sometimes feel uncomfortable being romantic in front of a camera (we didn’t even do an engagement shoot for that reason), but with Emma it was so easy and natural. We had a great time taking photos with her and loved her visions for our wedding party, detail shots, golden hour photos, and everything else. Thank you so much Emma!

As a mom, all you want is for your daughter to feel special on her wedding day. They made her feel like a QUEEN. The photos of her walking down the aisle took my breath away, I can still hear the music when I look at them. The video captured my husband’s tears, and it melts my heart every time I watch. The editing is so elegant, nothing feels cheap or rushed. They even included the smallest moments, like my daughter fixing her veil with me by her side. Those pictures I will treasure forever. I can’t thank them enough for being so kind and patient with our whole family. They truly gave us a gift for life. Everytime I see the photos I cry happy tears. This was worth every single penny and more.

The photos taken by Erin were great. The beginning process was really easy, but somehow the communication didn't connect to the actual photographer. We had a few miscommunications, but they quickly resolved the matter. The video came back not to the satisfaction of the client, so we pushed the video back to be reviewed and reworked. The quality hands down was excellent. I would certainly recommend them and work with them again.

Hi there! I'm Khoa, a San Diego based wedding photographer who enjoys spending time with good people and road trips. 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.

We found Khoa after searching through dozens of photographers in SD County. We planned to have an elopement at the County Clerk's office and wanted someone to be able to capture the intimate moments of the day very artfully since we wouldn't have a big wedding or any guests. Khoa had excellent communication, was very professional, and made our day even more special by agreeing to be our witness. In a way, he brought me a lot of comfort since we didn't have any friends or family there. My now husband and I rarely take photos even for socials or anything personal and are super awkward in front of the camera, but Khoa provided just enough guidance and direction that it felt very natural posing for the camera without it feeling like an entire production or feeling too stiff. I really appreciated that he asked us what we prefer the focus environment should be-- whether its architecture or nature, to ensure that he captures the vibe we were looking for. He delivered the final products very quickly and his post edits were beautiful-- the colors, light, and balance of us and the backdrops were absolutely stunning. I highly recommend his service to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Kayla was absolutely amazing to work with! From the moment she arrived, her sweet and bubbly personality made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured our wedding day so beautifully…every emotion, every moment, and all the little details we might have missed in the chaos of the day. I’m so obsessed with her flat lays and how she incorporated our special keepsakes. I had mentioned wanting my colors to really pop, and she captured them perfectly! Her eye for detail is incredible, and she somehow managed to make every photo feel natural yet timeless. The turnaround time was so quick… we received a sneak peek soon after the wedding, which made us even more excited for the full gallery. Kayla also brought along a second shooter who was just as wonderful, and together they didn’t miss a single moment. We’re beyond grateful to have these photos to look back on forever. I couldn’t recommend Kayla enough to any couple looking for someone who not only takes beautiful photos but also brings such warmth and joy to their day.

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough.

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.

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!!

Hey there, I'm Ben! I believe photography is not just about clicking the shutter at the right moment. It's about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotion, the feeling, and the story behind it. My style is all about telling stories of love, laughter, tears, joy, and all the beautiful chaos in between. Just like your wedding day, every photo shoot is a unique, amazing, and important experience. That's why I pour my heart and soul into creating and capturing the special moments that make each photo shoot memorable. I'm not just taking pictures, I'm crafting narratives. We're not just making photos, we're making memories.

We worked with Ben for both photography and videography at our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From our very first phone call, where he carefully went over every detail, to the time he dedicated to planning the schedule with us, everything was handled thoughtfully and professionally. On the wedding day, Ben was organized and a pleasure to work with—our guests loved him. He captured so many beautiful, genuine moments that we’ll cherish forever. The final photos and video turned out amazing: natural, authentic, and professionally edited to perfection. We highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for outstanding photography and videography services and will absolutely work with him again for future events.
