Hi I'm Halley I’m a couples, wedding, and elopement photographer based in San Diego, Big Sur, and Seattle, but I’m ready to follow you anywhere! I was born and raised in the PNW, I’m 28 years old, I have a husband and 2 puppies who I love with my whole heart. I’m an extroverted introvert who loves all-night brewery hangs just as much as home game nights, and my love languages are words of affirmation and sushi.

Halley was our wedding and engagement photographer and the entire experience was amazing, more than we could have asked for. She really captured our personalities and relationship in our engagement photos and leading up to our session she location scouted for us and gave her professional opinion on best time to meet based on sunset and weather. On our wedding day she captured all the in between moments and candid personalities of all our guests, as well as documented all out precious moments. She helped with keeping on schedule during the day, helped me manage any stress I was feeling, and was there to adjust my dress and veil all day long. She was the best investment we made for our wedding day by far and the memories she captured are truly priceless.

As a photographer, my goal is to capture stories in the form of images. Photos have the power to help you relive a specific moment in time and recall all of the emotions and details surrounding that moment. When I work with you on a photo project, my goal is to provide you with photographic records of those moments. I want you to be able to look back at your photos years from today and be able to relive that moment in time.

We can't explain how happy we were with our decision in trusting you with our day the photos you took were absolutely beautiful. I was really impressed that you listened to exactly what we wanted (we definitely didn't want these fake posed photos you often see from weddings) and you were so perfect at fulfilling that and producing the most natural collection of memories. I haven't had the time to print them yet but I can't wait to have all of them up in the house. We were also super impressed by the speed of receiving our album we got 15 pictures the next day and the whole album after only 1 month of our wedding I must admit I cried when receiving them since they are so beautiful! The communication, reliability, and security we had with you we will forever be so grateful. Honestly best experience for our wedding and I would recommend this beautiful photography company to anyone.

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.

Khoa was our wedding photographer from getting ready until the end of the night and we had an amazing experience with him the entire time! He is incredibly sweet and easy to work with, and made us feel very comfortable from the get-go. He was very thoughtful and thorough in using all aspects of our venue to provide amazing photos capturing the whole day. He worked very efficiently with us leading up to the ceremony to get us photos while still keeping us hidden away from our arriving guests, and then, during the ceremony and reception, he was amazingly unobtrusive but still able to capture all the great moments of our night! Khoa sent us a few preliminary photos which were all so perfect for personalizing our thank you cards. Once we got the full complement of photos from him we were blown away by the quality, editing, and energy he was able to capture from our wedding day. He is immensely generous with the number of photos he provides, and we have to stress that he somehow manages to deliver on both quantity AND quality. He is also very talented in composition and there were more than several photos that we never noticed him getting - everything perfectly captured the energy and feeling of the day and felt like we were reliving it again. Overall he feels like the complete package and we recommend him without hesitation!!!

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.

From the table settings to the rings to the families, Irina was able to capture every moment with a level of skill and expertise that is truly spectacular. It's not easy to capture the joy and love that are present at a wedding, but Irina did it effortlessly, resulting in a set of photographs that truly capture the essence of our special day. Beyond her obvious talent as a photographer, Irina also proved to be a trustworthy professional who was dedicated to ensuring that her clients were happy with the final result. It's clear that she takes great pride in her work, and her commitment to providing her clients with the best possible experience is evident in everything that she does. Overall, if you're in search of a wedding photographer who is both talented and dedicated to her craft, Irina is definitely the one to choose.

Black Hat Studio captured the emotions at our wedding phenomenally! We had a simple wedding in Riviera Maya with a last minute venue change because of a storm and the team calmly rolled with the punches and made the most of the changes. We were worried all the changes would reflect poorly in our photos and videos, but they turned out wonderfully and we've not tire of flipping through them!

Hello! I'm Natalie, a passionate documentary photographer dedicated to capturing the authentic and heartfelt moments of your special day. My approach to wedding photography is all about storytelling. I believe the most beautiful photos come from genuine, unscripted moments that reflect the true emotions and unique story of each individual couple. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me spending time with my family, traveling to new places, or just cuddled up with a good show and a comfy blanket. I’m always inspired by the beauty of everyday moments and bring this inspiration into my work.

Working with Natalie was a dream. It can be overwhelming having a camera on you and all this attention on you but Natalie carries herself with such a beautiful energy that puts you at ease. She really helps pose you and feel comfortable and before you know it you’re posing on your own. The confidence really shows in her images. My husband and I couldn’t be more happy with our photos! Can’t wait to work with her again, would recommend to all of my friends!

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!

We couldn't be happier that Pol was our wedding photographer! I gave him a Pinterest mood board with my vision, and he delivered that and so much more. He used two different cameras, including one that gave us the beautiful film look I had dreamed of. He gave wonderful direction on poses. He captured heartfelt moments with our families and was incredibly dedicated, making a huge effort throughout the entire day. His creativity, style, and professionalism truly shone through in every shot. The way he captured our day and the happiness, was beyond what I had hoped for, and I’m so grateful for the stunning memories he helped create. We hiiighly recommend Pol of SweetPaperMedia!!

I was raised in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California. I 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 have found loving hearts, wild souls, and adventurous spirits to be my people. I strive to visually capture the “spirit” of my subjects and record an emotional memory of the occasion.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have had the unique pleasure of working with Katie both behind the camera and being in front of hers! She is an incredibly talented photographer and an absolute joy to work with. She is so fun to adventure with during the session and made it so easy for my Husband and I to feel comfortable in front of her camera! She was able to capture our love easily and perfectly! I have also loved working with her as a fellow photographer. She is very professional, great at working with many brides and grooms and their guests, and has a wonderfully creative eye! I can't wait to work with her again!

Salt and Sol Studios captures life's authentic moments, blending creativity with heartfelt storytelling. My passion lies in immortalizing memories, crafting images that resonate with emotion and timeless beauty.

We couldn't have had a better photographer than Adrianna. She absolutely nailed it with our wedding photos! We don't take ourselves too seriously and wanted our wedding pictures to reflect that, and she didn't disappoint. Our wedding teasers definitely felt like us rather than being super posed and dressed up versions of ourselves. All the photos felt like they captured exactly who we are as a couple. Not only did Adrianna take amazing photos, but she was like our personal wedding hero, making sure everything ran smooth. Our reception was a little chaotic since it was raining, and she took all our stress away with her thoughtful ideas. We thought she was reading our minds because everytime we were stressed or overwhelmed, she backed us up and helped us sneak out to take breaks. If we even mentioned something we weren't fans of, it was taken care of quickly and quietly. She seriously saved our butts more times than we could count. Throughout the whole day she was thoughtful, intuitive, non-judgmental, and so nice. We may have just met her on thr wedding day, but we were treated like she'd known us forever. We were worried it'd be weird to have someone following us around with a camera who we didn't know to well and it was the exact opposite with her! Long story short, if you want someone who's not just going take your photos but also make your wedding day feel like a breeze, Adrianna is your person.

She has a good amount of experience and was able to help us out a lot with the timeline of things so we could get the exact photos we wanted and with who we wanted them with.

I have traveled and photographed weddings and engagement shoots all over the country including internationally. I still get nervous before every wedding I photograph. If I didn’t have nervous tension, I probably would have lost the drive and passion for what I love doing the most. The reason for my love of wedding photography is simple: I love spending the day with brides and grooms creating wedding day memories that will last a lifetime. I hunt for moments that cannot be recreated or relived. I love capturing the raw emotion of a wedding day. I want to be the best not only for myself but especially for my clients.

Just book Peter! You won’t regret it. Super cool and personable from our visit video call with him. He was very flexible with our engagement shoot and generous with his time. Let me tell you…his vision!? Oh my. We have GORGEOUS photos from our engagement sesh as well as our wedding. I literally could not believe my eyes once I saw the photos! Anyone can take photos but Pete has the vision and artistic eye for epic photos! I cannot recommend him enough!

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!

Anyone looking for a photographer who not only captures all those special moments but also just knows what and how to shoot, is very professional and kind, and LOVES to shoot weddings, then look no further. Bree is all of that and more. Her photos are fabulous and her easy and cheerful personality is one that makes her easy to work with! I highly recommend Bree for your special day.

Freshly landed from Paris, France. Christophe has been a travel photographer for the past ten years and decided to expand his creative horizons toward white dresses and bow ties here in California. His European touch will definitely bring something special to your wedding day.

Due to COVID, our wedding was postponed twice and ultimately cancelled. During each postponement, Willmus Weddings was still able to work with us. Ultimately the wedding was cancelled last minute due to the current restrictions and the fact that we were moving out of state in the next few months. The USS Midway was able to accommodate us to take the photos on the ship and even provided a beautiful intimate ceremony on the ship. Christophe and his videographer were there to capture this absolutely spectacular day. His professionalism along with his AMAZING talent could never go unnoticed. Thank you Christophe for helping create and capture the best memories and day of our lives! We are so grateful and thankful for you!!!

Born and raised in New Jersey, I’ve always had a passion for storytelling through art, which led me to photography. Now based in San Diego, I specialize in event and wedding photography, capturing moments with a journalistic and editorial approach. My goal is to document authentic emotions and connections that reflect the true spirit of every event. When I’m not behind the camera, I love to paint, cook, bake, and spend time with my dog, Willow, and my growing collection of plants.

Having Brittany as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. She didn’t just capture beautiful images; she captured the emotion and essence of every moment. She made us feel so comfortable, and it felt like she was always in the right place at the right time without being intrusive. We are beyond thrilled with the memories she gave us! I highly recommend 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. The work we do, the memories we capture will last you a lifetime. 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We came across Gleimlight Photography during our wedding planning last year, and fell in love with their work. My now husband used to own his own production company and is big into film and photography, so, he had incredibly high standards and I was so excited we had found a photographer that met and exceeded our expectations! Working with Christina and Jake was effortless. 2020 was definitely a challenging year, and planning a wedding amongst the chaos was even more challenging, but, they went with the flow of our constantly changing plans (like changing up until the week of), and made what was an extremely stressful time in our lives that much easier. We're both camera shy, and they just made it easy and comfortable, and man oh man, our photos are breathtaking. Thank you, Christina and Jake, for sticking with us and your patience, for your professionalism, your can-do attitude, and for giving us such an amazing gift with our photos. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! It wasn't the wedding we originally planned, but, it was a beautiful day and we're so grateful you were there to capture it for us. xoxo H&C
