Image In Love Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves La Jolla, CA

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.

Toby was fantastic! From beginning to end, he was very professional and accommodating. He artistically captured our special day and worked well coordinating photos with our large families. We love his edits, the angles, creative shots and all of the special candids! We requested a second photographer and a videographer as well; the entire crew was very professional and skilled & worked well together. He was very detailed in gathering information about the specific kinds of shots we wanted, and it was a relatively high bar given that my wife’s dad is a wedding photographer by trade. Toby did not disappoint, and had good chemistry with our family and guests, even connecting with Dad in the process. We're very thankful to have chosen Toby and his team to capture our special day!

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!

Hello Darling! I'm so glad you're here! I'm Tara - the eye behind the lens in all the photos you see here. It's a privilege and an honor to get to do what I do. It is so much more than a job to me. Every photograph I take is a little pieces of my heart that I leave with every one of my couples. I'm committed to documenting the heirloom moments of your family legacy. I am a historian curating timeless moments for you to live over and over again. I see beauty in everyone and it is my joy and privilege to show my clients how beautiful they are. <3

If I have the option to work with Tara, that is who I will hire to second for me, without a doubt. I have literally flown her to locations where I didn't "have" to because she really is so lovely to work with. I know I don't need to manage Tara at all, she know how to get the photographs that the clients are dreaming of without being intrusive or overhearing. She is professional, and kind, and so fun to be around. I wish 2020 weddings were happening just so we could shoot together, dang it Corona.

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.

I am really passionate about my job. I love meeting and connecting with people. Making them laugh and having fun during the photo session is one of my main purposes. I love when clients they tell me they don't like to have their pictures taken, that is a challenge; and I promise I will change their minds. When you put your heart and soul in what you do, everything comes naturally.

We had the most pleasurable experience with YC Photography! The first time I met Yrsina she was well prepared and organized. She brought along portfolios so I could see her work and I was impressed! She’s very detailed and professional but what really stood out was her warm and caring Heart. She went above and beyond to not only provide me with the best photography experience for our wedding but in other areas I needed help in regards to our wedding! She’s the best! We loved our experience with YC Photography so much we had our engagement photos, wedding photos and maternity photos all done by Yrsina! we are forever grateful for the memories she’s captured for us!

Wellington worked with my husband and I for our engagement and wedding pictures. He was awesome to work with from him as a person to his attention to all the details and professionalism. When we first took our engagement photos, he made the experience fun and the pictures really expressed who my husband and I are together. Before our wedding day, Wellington came to our rehearsal for no pay. He did a walk through with us and helped plan out the pictures and locations. On our wedding day, he captured everything that we had talked about and so much more. Everything he did had a purpose and at the end of it our pictures came out great. All of the photos are amazing. I would highly recommend Wellington for any event. If you hire him, you won’t be disappointed. He is a nice guy too.

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.

We worked with Khoa for our wedding ceremony and reception and it was everything we wished for and more!

Khoa not only met our expectations but exceeded them and we recommend him highly to everyone. Not only did he make us feel so at ease, but he was so kind, patient, and professional. Khoa helped make our wedding day so effortless and we thank him greatly for that. From the minute he arrived, myself, my husband, and all of our loved ones felt so comfortable with Khoa.

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 :)

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.

Brittany was amazing to work with from start to finish! We absolutely loved how our maternity photos turned out and I still tear up looking through them. As people who aren't super comfortable taking photos to begin with, this whole process was a bit out of our comfort zone, but Brittany made the experience super enjoyable, comfortable, and fun which we really appreciated! She got to know us as a couple and did not ask us to do any overly posed shots which we loved. Plus we got our full gallery within a couple weeks! Highly recommend booking with Brittany for your photo needs. She's a wonderful human and super talented!

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 is amazing! She is professional, super sweet, and a pleasure to work with. She was willing to help with anything to make the day go perfect-from fixing my lip liner to bustling my dress she is all hands on deck and makes it happen! Not to mention her photos are unreal!

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.

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.

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!

I am a full-time wedding photographer based in San Diego and first things first, I want you to know your wedding is a huge deal to me. As your wedding photographer, I'm your ultimate third-well and your right-hand-woman. I’m like your bridesmaid / groomslady with a camera. More than just a hired vendor, I’ll be your cheerleader, encourager, organizer, drink-getter, and the gal screaming “YAYYYY" because I’m so excited about the awesome photos we’re creating together. With the experience, knowledge, and expertise of photographing nearly 300 weddings, I am here with you every step of the way. Can’t wait to be along this journey with you!!!

Stop looking for photographers - you’ve found the best one!! Here’s why: 1. She’s a tremendously talented photographer. Kami does her research, keeps you relaxed/comfortable, and is super creative. She was extremely prepared for our engagement shoot and on our wedding day and achieved amazing results (look at her albums). On our wedding day, she positioned herself thoughtfully, and respectfully. 2. Kami is a true professional, super fun and keeps it light. She brings amazingly positive energy, is fun to be around (an absolute bundle of joy) and has a higher level of emotional intelligence than anyone we know. She made us so comfortable in our pictures which reflected in how much we loved how they turned out. 3. Kami is a leader in both her field and as a person. If you could create a perfect photographer (and person) to go through a pandemic with, it would be her. Throughout some of the most difficult times of the COVID-19 crisis, she was calm, empathetic and so committed to making sure we were doing well, even when we had to reschedule, etc. We talked to her multiple times about our situation and she not only made us feel better afterwards, but feel on top of the world. She was with us at the worst moments and of course at the best (our 7 person wedding). Take a second to reflect on the impact that the COVID-19 crisis had on photographers. 4. Kami is a great communicator. Always proactive, respectful, and timely You learn a little bit about a person during the good times, but you truly learn about a person through the worst of times. We’ve known Kami over the last 1.5 years including through the COVID-19 pandemic and have learned about how she is an amazing photographer (again look at her albums!!), but more importantly an amazing person. She will be with you through it all. Congratulations on finding your photographer (and likely a great friend)!

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.

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!

I love cabernet franc, chocolate chip cookies, and I'm on a constant search for the best tacos in the world.

Working with Erin and her team was awesome! They’re so friendly and don’t miss a thing! It’s a real pleasure to work with vendors who make you feel like a priority and are so easy-going. Erin is amazing and we highly recommend her.

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!

At the heart of why I love to photograph weddings and couples is because of how much my heart yearns to serve others. I truly want to know about you and your partner and get to know what you are passionate about and why you fell in love with your significant other! I’ve been photographing weddings and elopements for 4 years now and have loved every minute of it! I currently reside in Vista, CA with my two adopted/rescued fur babies. In my spare time I volunteer as a photographer for a local dog rescue!

I was stressed out looking for a photographer for our backyard wedding. When I found Leah, she was super friendly and easy to communicate with. She made sure she knew what kind of pictures I wanted. Her questionnaire was very detailed. During the day of, Leah was very accommodating. She sent us the previews very quickly. We just received the final photos and love them so much! We enjoyed working with Leah and highly recommend her! :)

Robyn was amazing. From the beginning, she was great at communication and always got back to me very quickly with super clear answers and tons of recommendations to help my photography vision come to life! 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! She goes above and beyond and even had safety pins (which I completely forgot to bring) so we could do our money dance! She helped me with so many extra small things I didn't even think about and I really appreciated it. 10/10 recommend.

Hi there! I'm Sam, a laid-back, down to earth gal! My love for photography started at a very young age. I thrive off of connecting with amazing people and creating beautiful visual art. I'm a 'go with the flow', free-spirited human. I am based in San Diego but travel all over the USA and world to capture stunning weddings. Travel is encouraged!

I believe that love inspires art. Your wedding day will most likely be a blur of joy, nerves, and excitement with some extraordinary moments in between. Using both film and digital mediums, I balance a combination of both editorial and photojournalistic styles with a fine art approach. This collaboration will allow you both to fully enjoy each and every moment, as we tell the story of your wedding day. Wedding photography is an investment that lasts a lifetime, it’s the part of your wedding day that lives on. This is your love story, told in a classic, authentic, and timeless way.

Here is your super sweet review: My husband and I love our engagement and wedding photos! I especially loved working with her as she is organized, professional, warm, so enthusiastic, and passionate about what she does!! She was also encouraging and made us feel comfortable during our engagement/maternity photo session and wedding day. I am so happy she was there on our wedding day, as she was a joy to be around and all of her pictures she sent us are beautiful!

Hiii! I'm Kayley and I'm so glad you're here. I’m energized by meeting new people, so please say hello! I’m a go with the flow kind of person – which explains my love for spontaneous trips and the excitement of weddings. I love to dance and have a good time (seriously, I WILL be out there on the dance floor with you).

Awarded Best of Zola
Kayley was recommended to me by a good friend who had worked with her for years. To say that I was impressed with her work would be an understatement - she blew me away. Not only did she fit within my budget needs, she came up with a plan that captured everything I wanted. My husband had a photographer there when he proposed, so we didn't do the traditional engagement and then wedding sessions. We ended up with an amazing motorcycle couples shoot, a boudoir shoot, and wedding coverage. Kayley was quick on her feet at our wedding - we had 300 guests spread out across a decent sized park with multiple buildings. She not only kept up, she also kept it together during an insane thunder storm at the end of the night! It was such a lovely and easy experience for my husband and I while we planned such a large wedding, we will definitely be coming back to her for future photography needs!

Have you ever met someone you just knew immediately was your person? We bet you have since you're here now! In 2015, Paul was the photographer at Crystal’s younger brother’s wedding, where she was a bridesmaid. We loved everything about that special day, but from the moment we locked eyes it was like time stood still. We knew then and there that we just hit the jackpot! Not only did we meet at a wedding, but we have both been in the events industry for well over a decade. Paul Douda Photography & Video offers full service wedding coverage for your big day in San Diego and beyond! We love to travel and destination weddings are a favorite!

If there was an option to award Paul Douda Photography 1000 stars, we would! We simply can't say enough great things about Paul and Crystal! From our engagement session to our wedding, everything they did was perfect! We aren't just talking about their products, either. They are fantastic at what they do and it's complimented by their wonderful and kind personalities; the complete package! If I had only one word to describe our experience with Paul Douda Photography, it would be easy. Planning? Easy! Vibe? Easy! Getting along? Easy! Day-of? Easy! Above all else, the perfect pictures, the heartwarming video, the overall experience, the best part is the friendship we developed with Paul and Crystal. From the bottom of our hearts, we couldn't be happier. A million and one thank yous!!

I’m Cecilia, a photographer, entrepreneur, and creator. For me, photography is more than just my job, it’s a central part of who I am. Since I was a kid I’ve felt the need to document life as I see it, to capture beautiful moments that last. I am so in love with this art form in every sense. It brings me such joy and fulfillment to be able to document people’s stories and bring them to life through my lens. At the end of the day, I do this job out of love. Love for people, the earth, and connection. I want to capture who you are as people. Your energy and vibrancy are at the heart of what I do and I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cecelia is everything you want in a wedding photographer - professional, creative, approachable, chill, and very intuitive as to reading you and your partner while taking photos. With natural direction, she let us be in the moment and captured the magic of just us being us. She made us feel very comfortable and our photos did not feel posed or forced, she was amazing at giving direction for a pose and letting us sink into it, capturing a lot of natural candid in-between moments - which is what I was wanting! She has a genuine light about her and puts so much heart into her work, and it shows. We met Cecelia through Instagram and had her take our styled engagement photos. She was very communicative beforehand and was responsive to my personal vision for the photos. She helped with wardrobe choices, met us on location, was a joy to be around. She also delivered our photo gallery in a very timely fashion. Oh and the photos - WE. WERE. BLOWN. AWAY. They were everything we wanted, and her edits were perfection - not too much, and still captured what the light looked like that evening. We are so glad Cecelia was able to capture these unforgettable moments in our life, we can’t thank her enough!

INQUIRE ON MY WEBSITE! I've been doing this for 8 years now, & it really does get better with time. There are countless memories of laughter, holding back tears (mostly happy ones), surprises, & moments that my heart didn't see coming. The opportunity to meet couples that become friends is something I will always feel blessed to have. I love building that connection as much as possible! You two together is your own little piece of art. At least that’s how I see it! So with that being said, I don’t want to try & copy someone else’s art. How you interact together should be captured purely.

I'm so grateful I found Emma and her team on Zola. In addition to my wedding, I also had her shoot a boudoir shoot and that was the first time I met her. Since that was totally out of my comfort zone, I was nervous but she immediately made me feel at ease and comfortable. The photos came out great and my husband loved the gift. For my actual wedding, Emma enlisted Solveig and second shooter Shiloh, who were also fantastic. Even though I barely knew them, they jumped right in and everything was so calm and organized. I even got my sneak peeks within a week and a half! I can't wait to see how they captured the rest of my big day. I would definitely refer Emma and her team to anyone looking!
