About Teresa LoJacono Photography

Teresa LoJacono Photography

Artist

As a documentary wedding photographer, I’m here to capture your day exactly as it unfolds—real, unposed, and full of heart. Whether you're getting married in San Diego or halfway across the world, I focus on the honest moments that make your story yours. With a blend of film and digital, I craft galleries that feel timeless, cinematic, and true to the day.

With a background in art and photography shaped by years of study and creative exploration, my work is rooted in a deep appreciation for honest storytelling. Influenced by both critical theory and contemporary art, I’m drawn to the sweet spot where classic documentary photography meets the beauty of real, unscripted moments. My goal is to create images that feel raw, genuine, and deeply human—capturing the heart of your day as it truly was.

    in awe of her and her work!

    Teresa was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding day. Not only did she provide perfect photos capturing our wedding day, but she was kind, welcoming, compassionate, and such a calming presence on a chaotic day. I had complete faith in her with how she handled the wedding planning process with me, and she delivered and more. Looking back on the photos she took, I am overjoyed and in awe of how beautiful she made the day look. 1000000x and more I recommend Teresa to any and all who need memories captured in the most beautiful way.

    Artistic and Incredible!

    Teresa was so great to work with! We booked her as our wedding photographer, and it was everything we dreamed of and more! Leading up to the wedding, the process was extremely easy and clear. Teresa was always prompt in answering emails and happy to jump on a FaceTime call to discuss any questions or talk through the day ahead of time. We already thought she had a beautiful portfolio, and when talking together, she understood the vision of telling the story of the day through an artistic and romantic lens. On the day, she was super easy to work with, and when the timeline ran long due to other factors, she stayed calm and we figured out a way to rework the timeline to get what we needed. We felt very comfortable with her, and she helped direct us into some poses to get some amazing shots. We received our sneak peeks just about a week later and were blown away. Friends and family said they looked like they were out of Vogue or Vanity Fair. We're so excited to see the rest, and would definitely recommend!

    A dream come true!

    Teresa did an absolutely beautiful job for both our engagement photos and wedding. She was communicative from start to finish, and sought to understand our style and wishes. I often say my wedding was my Pinterest board come to life, and she played no small role in making my dreams come true :) Her kindness, passion, and thoughtfulness shines through everything she does. All of our friends and family at our wedding commented on how great she was, which speaks to her professionalism and kindness. She managed to capture seemingly every moment, yet I hardly even noticed she was there. It’s truly amazing how much of our special day she was able to capture on camera and film. We are so grateful she was available to be with us on our special day, and will cherish the photos forever! I highly highly recommend her to capture any of your special memories!!! Thank you!!

There is a complete list of all the venues I have worked at bellow. If your location is new to me that's great in my eyes! Your my first couple to have that experience with and I will never forget it! I'd be happy to meet you there for a walkthrough to reassure you that your day will be flawless, and talk ideas of course!
Personally, I do not send clients RAW files. It's rare that any photographer does, and to be honest not many computers have the proper software to read/open a RAW image.
I use 2 Canon Mark IV bodies. Most of the day I have a 35mm attached, but also jump between 50mm and 24-70mm. I work mostly with natural light, but when need choose to work with Canon speedlites for on camera flash. And all the extra batteries I could possibly need. I got you covered.
Absolutely. Thank goodness for Facetime and Zoom! We can schedule this as soon as you like to get the ball rolling. If you are a SD local, we can even meet at your favorite coffee shop or brewery. Let's start this journey off right shall we!
I work to get my galleries out asap! Typically it takes at least 4 to 6 weeks for a full gallery turnaround.
Every couple/session will receive a link to a custom online gallery were you will be able to do a digital download of all your images. You will also have the opportunity to share your album with friends and family, post to social media and make prints directly.
This is a question I receive often actually, and it's OKAY. You wont offend me or hurt my feelings. I totally understand and respect your feelings.
Post editing includes the basics: Light adjustments, cropping, color adjustments as needed in my own style. It does not include beauty touchups, or extensive photoshop work. I'll leave Photoshop to the pros. It has never been in my line of expertise. That's the truth.
Is that a real question? I love to travel. I am based in San Diego, but travel worldwide. All weddings outside SoCal will receive custom quotes depending on cost of lodging, flights and rental cars. Stateside weddings require an additional fee of $400 and international travel fees range from $800 to $1500.
Absolutely! 100%! A few months before the wedding I will send you a questionnaire on all the wedding details. This will help me create your custom wedding photo timeline. Remember that the timeline doesn't have to be a rigid schedule and can be adjusted as you need.
Yes! I require a 25% retainer at the time of booking. It is a non-refundable retainer and secures your wedding date. The final 75% is due 2 weeks before the wedding/session.
Ready to move forward?! I'm so there with you! To make everything official and lock-down your wedding date/shoot date, you will have to pay your 25% retainer and sign a contract.
Wouldn't step out the door without it! Some venues do require all vendors to have insurance. If this is something you need I got you.
Probably the most asked question, and truly no one is that awkward. It's all in your head, I promise! However, I got your back with a few tips and tricks that will make the experience for you so easy and fun.
In the very unlikely case that this should ever happen, I will find you the most kickass incredible replacement. I hope it never happens, but you can't control unforeseeable events.
It's a loaded question, and one of the hardest things for an artist to verbalize. I like to break down my esthetic to a few simple words. Intentional. Artful. Cinematic. I'm a story teller and I feel every image should tell a complete story. There are no special bells and whistles with me. I'm here to document your story as it truly unfolds in front of me.
Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of shooting. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
