I'm in love with taking photos and I spend all of my time working on fine-tuning my photography but also getting deeper than just taking photos. I am taking photos with the purpose now more than ever. Its been my years of experience that has helped me develop my photography into art and not just a picture taker. From the moment I meet my clients, I want to know as much as I can. Getting closer to a client really transcends into the photographs I am taking of them and their special day.

If I could give 1000 starts I would! Image in love was so amazing it captured everything I wanted at my wedding and 30th birthday party. To this day I am still in awe with the beauty of my pictures.

Hello there. Holy moly, I've been photographing all the pretty things, places and people for 12 years! I am a proud Mama to 3 kiddos, so I get the chaos that comes with love, life and the little ones. I love to dive right in and figure out what story I've been invited to tell. Who are you? I want to know your why. Why do you want your pictures taken and why me. Together we'll create your wardrobe with intention and choose a location that speaks to you. I always encourage connection, music, kisses and your best dance moves.

Kristen has long been our go to photographer I’m San Diego, CA. From maternity, to newborn, and even large group family photos we have always felt at ease and comfortable working with her. Not only does Kristen put everybody at ease, but she laughs, coaches, and encourages along the way. Flashback to 2012 when 23 year old Nina and 28 year old Brian decided to get married after knowing each other for 6 months, we did so quietly, secretly, and without the love and support we needed. We had always said we would do a ceremony and time seemed to be slipping by with constant military deployments, two adorable boys, and family heath concerns. In Jan 2022 we decided we had to do it on our 10 year anniversary in March. If you can’t tell spontaneity is kind of our thing. Before we secured the venue or picked our attire we called Kristen, we knew that not only would she be able to capture our day and energy perfectly but also help us with the details. Kristen helped guide our decisions in outfits, flowers, where we would stand for Vows, and made sure day of we got pictures with every person. The day was perfect, every person there was free to be themselves, including the kids, and Kristen was able to capture the beautiful unique energy of ever being.

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.

I have worked with Morgan on multiple occasions and her ability to seamlessly flow through the day while being a photographer, constant helper, and team player is unmatched!

I can finally be in professional pictures and not feel like a clown. I don't pose well, I smile goofy, I'm way taller than my wife- and it didn't matter. Robyn made us look incredible, and through the entire process (which I usually dislike at a baseline) I actually had a really great time. She's patient, doesn't waste time, and has an incredible vision for anything you throw at her. Excellent experience overall and the pictures don't take forever to get sent to you either. Highly recommend.

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!

Bree is absolutely the sweetest woman ever and an incredibly talented photographer! It’s hard for me to know where to start! I was looking for a light and airy, timeless photography style and Bree totally emulates that! From the beginning, Bree was so accommodating and helpful. She sent over a welcome packet with tips to make your shoot look the best possible including outfit suggestions. She also provided resources about wedding planning and vendor selection! She truly goes above and beyond to make wedding planning and your wedding day flawless! We had our first shoot with her for our engagement session in winter 2019 in Kent, OH! I was excited to be in front of the camera but my fiance (now hubs) was not as excited (tip: ALWAYS do an engagement shoot for this reason.) After about the first 20 minutes into the shoot my fiance loosened up and began feeling more and more comfortable and I credit that all to Bree. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her cueing is perfection. She turned around our engagement photos in a timely manner and they were BEAUTIFUL. Leading up to the wedding Bree was more than a photographer! She helped listen to some of my wedding stresses and give some advice, especially with COVID happening halfway through my wedding planning. She was flexible with all the changing situations and always reassured us that she would do everything in her power to make our wedding day perfect and she delivered! After filling out my pre-wedding shot list packet about a couple weeks before the wedding, Bree and her assistant arrived on time and ready to go! They were very organized and knew exactly how to take charge of the group. She flawlessly wrangled my hubs and his groomsmen for photos, directed ALL of my family quickly through family formal photos, and captured every important moment of our evening. Even my bridesmaids were saying how sweet she was for days after my wedding! Bree was amazing and sent over a few sneak peek photos in a couple days and they are GORGEOUS! It makes us so beyond excited to get all of our photos back. My husband and I 110% recommend Bree as your weddings/engagement/senior portrait/family photos or anything-you’d-ever-need photographer! I hope to have another reason to work with her in the future!

Fueled by equal parts caffeine and passion, I spend my days capturing images that make you stop, smile and wish that time would slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in photographs you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the back patio. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

We wish we could give Cate 10 stars - she is seriously a ROCKSTAR talent! She seamlessly captured everyone's personality, and let us just live in our special day. We loved watching her get excited about awesome shots, and truly enjoying what she does. In addition to being an incredible professional, she's also a BLAST to have around, has all the positive energy, is an organizational master, and was a big source of calm in the midst of a crazy day. Our photos were extremely important to us, as the majority of our guests traveled from our of town and we had tons of special moments and memories we wanted to capture. We are absolutely thrilled with how they turned out - cannot recommend her enough!

I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer specializing in natural, warm, true-to-life photography. My business isn't just about photos, it's about people. It's not about transactions, it's about relationships. And it's not about one day, it's about a lifetime. At my core, I believe no moment is too mundane to capture, no day too average to celebrate. Hiring a photographer is an investment for you, sure, but it is also a gift to the generations that follow. Photographs are heirlooms, memories, and your visual legacy. I can't wait to connect with you and tell your story.

I've always been a creative junkie and appreciated the fine arts since I was a little girl. I knew I wanted to do something creative as my career, and against all odds of "old school, you should be a nurse" Filipino parents, I achieved it. I've been a graphic designer for 14 years and after being sorely disappointed in my own wedding photographs I decided to learn photography.

We love Ronalyn! She is always sure to capture a variety of great moments with her different cameras. The B&W prints she selects show her eye for artistry. 3 sessions later (Engagement, Wedding, Family) we do not doubt she will continue to be No.1 choice photographer for us.

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

10/10 would recommend randall!! We booked him for our engagement shoot and wedding and we are beyond appreciative and impressed. RDL is the only photographer my husband and I could agree on. We liked his photography style, the quality of the work, the price, and his personality. He even guided us with the timeline to make the most of the time and photography. For both the engagement shoot and wedding day, he guided us and made us feel comfortable. We’re def not models but he made us look great! We were able to get some posed shots and some Candids. He was PATIENT with us and didn’t make us feel awkward at all. The day of the wedding, I got so many compliments from our families with how they appreciated his presence. He kindly directed people and was patient with us and our guests. Def professional guy and just honestly a good personality. He’s also priced well. Def recommend booking a consult and booking him for your events!! You won’t regret it
