John was our photographer for our wedding (and all wedding festivities) and captured so many special photos of my now husband and I! He truly cares about executing what your vision is. He never made me feel like I was too detail-oriented or particular, and I can definitely be overly-detailed at times! haha. He is truly committed to pleasing his clients. Not only that, but the post wedding experience of designing the layout of my wedding book has been fun instead of what could have been confusing and overwhelming. He has extreme patience and helped me create the layout for my very extensive wedding album, as well assisted in communication with an awesome leather craftsman company to design the custom cover. I feel like the wedding book is sometimes a thing that couples don’t get to, and then it never gets done, so the ease of that process made me so happy I went with John. Now my family and I will be able to cherish the wedding photos in one beautiful album to display at our house.

Hi Friends! I am SO happy you're here! You're in the thick of planning! If you want to spend your day savoring, being with your people more than taking the perfect insta photo, and can't wait to dive into life with your partner - I am your GAL! You'll look back on your day seeing the emotion, the connections, and the still moments that you were present for, with me as your photographer. I also am a pair for those who consider themselves "awkward" or "doesn't like themselves in photos." With my guidance, attention to detail and direction, we are a pair! I would love to hear about your day to see if we're a fit! Can't wait to hear from you!

Katherine was an absolute joy to work with! A positive and upbeat attitude the entire night. She took the time to have conversations with fellow vendors and guests alike - which was so refreshing. Also, great turn around time on photos. Her work speaks for itself though - beautiful colors, great posed and candid shots and a dynamic talent for capturing stunning day AND indoor/evening photos (so hard to successfully do). I would highly recommend Katherine Beth Photography!

I represent San Diego's top wedding photographers. I have sought out award winning talent that is technically savvy, creative, and very personable. Talent , experience, a great positive energy, and capturing a wide range of emotions, poses and backgrounds, are just a few of ingredients that goes into being successful for our clients . Each photographer has photographed professionally at least 5 years. We seek out couples who put photography at the highest level of importance for their wedding day, and hope to get the opportunity to chat with you soon :)

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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.

Morgan will be your best friend, wedding planner and confidant aside from taking the most beautiful pictures!! I can’t imagine anyone else to have taken our beautiful engagement & wedding pictures and look forward to taking family pictures in the future! She loves to travel so even if you’re not based in CA, reach out to her! Look no further, Morgan is the best of the best!

Robyn was amazing.

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. Robyn is a rockstar and is really good at making you feel comfortable being photographed and just have fun!

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 and Hayes recently shot our engagement party and did an incredible job capturing our moment. They were extremely organized and made us feel at ease with a pre-event meeting where we went over all of the details. Their images were bright, natural, and the perfect mix of candid and posed. I would highly recommend them for any wedding or event that you're having, you will cherish the photos for a lifetime!

Hello There! I'm Paige, San Diego Wedding Photographer, Adventure Enthusiast, and Your NEW BEST FRIEND! I am happily married to my Best Friend, Jeff, together we live in Sunny San Diego, California and we rescued the sweetest Pup you will ever see (We might be slightly biased!). We love to travel, camp, hike, and explore together. Does going to Disneyland count as traveling (When you have annual passes)?! In my spare time, I enjoy being cuddled up under a blanket, with a cup of tea, and a good book

Being amazing at your job is something everyone hopes for. Paige exceeds those expectations daily! Paige goes above and beyond what is expected for a photographer. She was and is so much more than the woman who took our photos on not only our wedding day but also our engagement pictures as well. Her work is absolutely flawless and she will do anything and everything to make sure your day is spotless! We have almost been married for a year now and I still am in shock as to how beautiful our photos are. Paige is the epitome of professional, she made sure we knew exactly what we were getting into from the very start, she talked us through everything and made sure we were absolutely comfortable with everything. I could sit here and write novels about how much I love her and the work she does but, Bottom line is hire Paige Hill for any photography need. You will NEVER regret your decision!

Cate Batchelor Photography

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.

Cate has been a longtime event photographer for me, and I trust her implicitly with my events. We have a wonderful working relationship and I never worry whether my client's vision or my designs for them will be well represented, and they are flawlessly done. My business would not be as successful as it is if I didn't have her to document what I do and what I can offer to my clients. What I love in particular is her talent for documenting finer details, things that are often overlooked in the larger event scale. I truly appreciate all of her work and can't imagine not having her on my go-to list of product and client services.

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 love freezing wedding days. I stay true to color, but add in a little warmth. I love documenting the day and getting in all the emotions. My favorite part of the entire day- grooms reaction to either his bride walking down the aisle or that first look. I'm also a sucker for dad first looks. Details are also so important, it's one of the biggest day of your lives and getting it all photographed is so very important!

Ashley was pure joy to work with. She was professional and easy going while still making sure everything was orderly. My husband does not like his photo taken and he was relaxed and at ease the whole time. Our gallery came back so quickly and I still tear up at the quality of our photos! We are so thankful for her and all the beautiful memories she captured.

We couldn't have been happier with Melissa, from engagement photos to wedding, and since then every annual family photo shoot, she is the best and we gets compliments on our photos year after year! Her fun and creative personality put you at ease and she even is patient with my crazy kids and dogs! I have had friends who use someone cheaper, but they only get a couple of photos or a very restrictive shooting time etc. We love that we don't have to worry about those things, and for the product and service we get the investment is more than fair! Hire Melissa, you'll be glad you did!

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. Personable and professional!
