About Love Story Photography
Love Story Photography
We're Alan & Heidi, the husband-and-wife team behind Love Story Photography, who've had the honor of documenting love stories throughout San Diego for over 12 years. What started as a shared passion project has grown into something we never imagined – a thriving business built on genuine relationships, authentic storytelling, and the belief that every couple deserves beautiful wedding photography, regardless of their budget.
Having photographed over 400+ weddings, we've learned that the most treasured images aren't the perfectly posed ones – they're the authentic moments of laughter, happy tears, and connection that happen naturally throughout your day. Our style celebrates these genuine emotions while capturing the stunning background that is Southern California. We believe in letting your story unfold organically. Rather than directing every moment, we position ourselves to capture the real interactions between you and your loved ones. The result? Images that feel true to who you are, with natural colors that reflect the warmth and vibrancy of your celebration!

Wedding Photos
I chose Love Story Photography to capture my June wedding ceremony and reception. I couldn’t have been happier with photographer Alan Merrigan. He’s very professional, easy to work with, punctual, responsive and the quality of work was superb!
Engagement photos with Alan
We had the best experience working with Alan for our engagement session! He made a genuine effort to get to know us and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. The photos are absolutely beautiful, and he captured us so naturally. We couldn’t be happier with the photos! Alan is a truly talented photographer who knows exactly what he’s doing, and we’re so grateful for the memories he created for us.
A True Artist Behind the Lens
We are so happy that we chose Love Story Photography to capture our special day. Alan is the VERY BEST!! He was on it from start to finish. With the best personality, he is calming, caring, and talented. Our photos came out amazing. We recommend him to anyone looking for a true professional. You won’t go wrong choosing him.
Bride
Love Story Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. Their communication was quick, easy, and made us feel comfortable from the start. The quality of their work was fantastic - unique, beautiful, and perfect in capturing all the special moments of our day. Alan, our photographer, was an absolute sweetheart who went above and beyond to make our day extra special. After we took our photos, he became "Tio Alan" to us! His attention to detail and eye for unique shots was much appreciated, and he beautifully captured all of our highlights. I would recommend Love Story Photography 10/10 times!
