Paul Douda Photography & Video 

5.0

La Mesa, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100

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!

We were looking for a photographer to capture our wedding day. We had specific requests one of them being we wanted the photos to be of the actual day as it was happening, not staged photos. Paul heard our request and went about the wedding mostly unnoticed, except where the group shots or special moments needed to be memorable. Crystal did the Video OMG. She captured everything we asked for and more. And the video trailer she made for us, wow!!! The first time I watched it I was thinking is this for real!!! Way over and above what we expected! I watch it all probably once a month. The first month 20 times a day and I still cry.. I love to send the video link to friends and Family. She made us look so good. Chad my husband and I went to a wedding show at the Grant hotel and literally search high and low for a photographer. Everyone had a package to sell, however no one listened to what we were trying to capture. When I said we search high and low I mean it. We found Crystal in the basement of the hotel, Chad fell in love with crystal first, being next to a brewery stand probably helped!! She listened to everything we were trying to accomplish for our special day. Even customized a special package based on our requests. Nothing was ever a problem or issue. The final results,Love these guys!!!!!!! Literally trust them for your day let them spoil you like they did for us. You will NOT be disappointed, not one bit!!!!!!!!!!

For us, we chose DJ Jimn and he was so nice to run through the program the week before the event, and make sure we were on the same page. On our wedding day, since we were on a time crunch, he needed to move around minimal details and everything went well! As for the party, all age groups enjoyed and danced!!! I'll recommend DJ Jimn to our friends and families! Just let the DJ know not to finish all the music and change it every 1-2 chorus. Budget-wise, you can have a host/DJ all in one.

DJ Conner was absolutely amazing and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the dancing music and all the music played throughout the evening. He listened to our music needs, which were not the clearest at times, but nonetheless he came up with a great playlist that fit the diverse age range and what we were envisioning. It seemed that all the guests were dancing on the dance floor at some point in the evening. Just recently a guest from the wedding reached out commenting how Conner was the best wedding DJ they have ever heard. Conner brings a cool, sophisticated vibe that is truly great for all age demographics. Additionally, Conner was super professional, on time, and had state of the art sound equipment. He also did an incredible job micing the night and keeping the pace. The fact that I didn't want the night to end speaks volumes to how much I enjoyed our wedding and a big part of that was the music. Hiring the right DJ is one of the best wedding decisions we made and was also way more cost effective than a live band. To wrap this up, we are so thankful Conner decided to take his DJ talents to the wedding industry. I am sure his business will take off. Thank you Conner, we will always remember how you made our night so special and my brother's EPIC speech :)

DJ Cameron and his team gave us the celebration of our dreams. Our family and friends wouldn’t leave dance floor and that’s the exact outcome we asked for and were hoping for when we sought out Cam's services. He asked us for a list of our favorite songs and filled in the gaps when we needed some inspiration. He's a HIGHLY skilled professional and we were through the roof happy that he pulled together all of our preferences of Motown, country, Latin, and hip hop into a nonstop party where each song the dance floor was packed! The sound quality was excellent and he navigated an outdoor courtyard setting and an indoor banquet hall and the sound was full, balanced and clear in each of the venue spaces. The PhotoBooth and uplights were a fantastic touch, the props were also super fun and we captured moments we’ll cherish forever.

I've been djing since I was 15 years old. I had a fascination for parties and events at an early age. I tagged along with my brother who dj'd at house parties back in the early 80's. I was hooked after seeing how much joy the music brought out in the crowd. I started buying my own 12" records, and it evolved into doing my own gigs: house parties, jr. high & high school dances, colleges, raves, underground parties, night clubs, weddings, corporate events, and so on. I started my DJ business in 1987, and have been honing my craft now for 3 decades. Thirty plus years later, I continue to love what I do. Now let's get the party started.

Sound Prodigy and DJ Pat was awesome to work. The app he had us use to add music to so he could get a feel for what we like was very easy to use. He’s clearly very experienced and knew how to get the crowd energized and keep the dance floor packed all night. Their intuitive sense of the vibe and flow of the evening was spot on, and they kept the music going seamlessly through all the key moments. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our wedding celebration so memorable. We also booked a photo bus through him and I highly recommend that.

From the moment I spoke to Carolyn during our initial phone consultation, I was filled with ease and knew she was the person I could trust in the process of coordinating our special day! Carolyn’s calming and positive demeanor was such a Godsend in the otherwise overwhelming process of making many small decisions leading up to the big day. Communication with Carolyn was such a breeze and she was available through text and several phone call meetings where we would talk through ideas and details. I shared my ideas with her, and she immediately understood my vision and helped so much in executing everything we wanted in our wedding day and more.

  • Serves La Mesa, CA

Hi! My name is Ayleen and I have been a makeup artist for 5 years. In my few years of experience I have been able to learn a lot from working in photoshoots, along with other artists and at countless weddings. From my first bridal makeup I’ve done on a close friend, I knew that’s what I wanted to do as my job. It took a few years to build my career and I am so glad I chased after my dream of becoming a bridal makeup artist. My favorite part of what I do is being able to be a part of such a special day in your life and there’s nothing that makes me happier than making girls feel their best.

Awarded Best of Zola
My mother and I did a trial with Ayleen prior to booking and immediately knew as soon as she arrived that she was our gal. She is so organized, very communicative, and just so talented. I also love that she continues to learn and improve her skills! During our trial, Ayleen first took the time to understand what our skin concerns were (mom having dry, aged skin and myself having oily skin). She took that information and did the appropriate skin prep to have our makeup stay on all day. My mom was absolutely blown away by her makeup and felt so beautiful! I ended up going with a look that turned out to be a bit too warm on my extra-pale skin, but Ayleen had the knowledge to suggest something that will work better for my complexion! However, the look was stunning, falsies applied flawlessly, and overall it was blended to perfection. Do yourself a favor and book with her now while she’s available! Pro tip: if you’re extra pale like I am and are planning to get a spray tan for your big day, do it for your makeup trial as well! It will give you a much better idea of the final look:)

Hello and Welcome! I'm Lily, a dedicated and enthusiastic event planner on a mission to turn your celebrations into unforgettable experiences. Armed with a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, I possess the expertise to seamlessly manage all aspects of your wedding, ensuring that every detail assigns with your vision and goals.

There are a lot of wedding industry people that I've had the pleasure of getting to know and Slay Events with Lily stands out. These are the traits that you will find in her and her group: 1. Detail Oriented - SO SO much detail goes into a memorable wedding and Lily is the kind of person to ensure that EVERY detail is accounted for, allowing you to relax and ENJOY the experience. I've seen several couples OVERJOYED with her team on their wedding day because every detail was taken care of. 2. Charming - Here's a hidden truth about the industry -- as a vendor, it pays to be magnetic and charming because it greases the wheels and makes things happen. If you look tired, unfriendly, and unreliable, no one will want to work with you. HOWEVER, if you are positive, well put together, and professional, then vendors, coordinators, and caterers take you seriously and will work well with you. This means getting all the puzzle pieces to the perfect wedding in place on your special day. Lily's company is not only respected by the clients she works with but also among those in the wedding industry. For myself as and wedding venue, I breath a sigh of relief whenever I hear that Lily is on the job. Her magnetic personality is a perfect fit as So Cal's premier wedding coordinator. 3. Hard Working - Lily goes that extra mile to make sure the lead up to your special day is worry free and enjoyable as possible. My tell tale sign of a good coordinator is that on wedding day, they are BUSY and COMMUNICATING. Lily is a buzz of activity, directing the couple and their families, and staying in touch with vendors and caterers. She understands that she is the linchpin who ensuring that the day is a success. Highly HIGHLY recommend Slay Events.

My two favorite musical genres are hip hop & country. These are both very clashing styles. My wedding coordinator said she knew "just the guy" and that he already had a mix that he could share with us. My fiancé and I listened to it and we knew we had to connect. We saw the reviews and when we spoke with Jimmy we knew he was exactly what we were looking for. He was supper communicative and his playlist helped us to pick out some bangers we had forgot about. The wedding was super smooth and everything ran perfectly. He is a great Emcee, but more importantly a MIX MASTER!! He blended two completely clashing styles and had both sides of our families rocking. I can't say enough about how smooth he is on the decks, but the music set the tone and our dancefloor was yee-hawing and dropping it low at the same time! Thanks a milli and book this fella if you want a party you won't forget!!

I do wedding and event flowers. From bridal bouquets to centerpieces to arbor to installations, I do them all. All customized to your taste and style. To make sure your vision and vibes come to life. Flowers have always been my thing.

I can't say enough wonderful things about working with Angeline on my wedding day. From the beginning Angeline was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to every detail. She took the time to really understand my husband and I’s vision, while also offering her floral expertise on how to make each bouquet and centerpiece beautiful and impactful. The bouquet, centerpieces, and ceremony space that Angeline created was absolutely stunning. It was everything we had envisioned and more. Angeline created a romantic and classic feel by blending a variety of white, pink, orange, and taupe flowers. The flowers she picked were so unique and beautiful, some of which I have never even seen before. Additionally, when asked to created a floral arrangement for my car, for our grand exit, Angeline created the most unique and beautiful car arrangement that my guests/myself were swooning over. Angeline went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly perfect. She was so accommodating and was always available to offer guidance. Her attention to detail and commitment to making our day special really shone through in every arrangement. I highly recommend Flower Rush to any couple looking for exceptional florals that will make their wedding day even more magical. Thank you again for making our wedding day so beautiful — you truly made our floral dreams come true!

Because planning a wedding is a big deal, and a big investment, you'll want someone you can count on to take your hard work and make sure that all that time and effort pays off. With a wealth of resources available, I know that you may not need help every step of the way (and you don't want to pay for what you don't need!) so I offer foundational event management services designed to fill in the gaps with professional guidance and still remain reasonably priced. Instead of a "one size fits all" approach, I would love to work with you to create a bespoke wedding package fitted to your needs and budget!

I have been officially working as a professional wedding planner since 2017. My love of all things weddings and events began at an early age. I worked at a country club in the summers before my freshman and sophomore year of college, I worked on the food and beverage staff which included being a banquet server, and can you guess which was my favorite shift to work, you guessed it, the weddings. Once I got to the point in my life where my friends were starting to get engaged and I was a bridesmaid in their weddings, I found myself taking on extra duties and wanting to be more involved that it hit me, I need to pursue being an event planner.

Miranda was absolutely amazing. We worked with her for a year to plan for our Sonoma wedding. She was recommended from a friend whose wedding she also planned and it was stunning. Even though she was not from the Sonoma area, she did an amazing job finding everything from the venue, to the vendors, photographer, and DJ. She has great attention to detail and really makes you feel at ease in the planning process. We had absolutely no idea what we wanted or what we were doing, but she made both me and my husband way less stressed on every matter. We even had a last minute DJ issue and she found us a new one right away. She helped set up food tastings and made sure we were on track for the big day in terms of seating charts and other small details. The wedding was perfect and she did a fantastic job telling us exactly what to do and where to be. She even helped my brother, the officiant, with what he was suppose to say during the ceremony, as this was his first time officiating. She did the signage, decor, literally everything and alleviated all the stress and jitters on our day. I couldn’t recommend her enough to plan and help on your day. I’d hire her again ten times over! Thank you, Miranda!!

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.

HIRE THIS TEAM!!!!! We love everything about this company! We were lucky enough to be able to work with this wonderful team before we were even engaged, so we were blessed with not only the most magical wedding day photography experience, but also our engagement session, engagement party and bachelorette/bachelor party. Our experience was ABSOLUTELY the best we have ever had with any vendors we have ever hired. A true professional and a true friend every step of the way, the desire to make us feel safe, seen, prepared and excited leading up to our day was so clear and so deeply appreciated. The way her and her assistant made every member of our bridal party and family comfortable throughout the day and by the end of the whole process, we will forever treat them like family. The photos we've received thus far are nothing short of phenomenal. I have truly never felt more beautiful! We could not have dreamed up a better photographer or a better experience. Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts! If you are looking for an incredible all around photography experience for your wedding, you have truly found it! Extra bonus they are GREAT with dogs in pics.

I’m here to capture nostalgic memories and help you remember the emotions behind the photos. I love capturing those truly candid moments. The kind of photos that put you right back in the moment five, ten, fifty years later. I'm a Southern California based photographer that will travel wherever you want to document your love! I'm constantly exploring with laid-back couples that want to capture genuine moments about their relationship. When I'm not taking pictures, you can usually find me hanging out with my loved ones, hiking, watching sitcoms, or taking a spontaneous trip.

Emily’s photography portfolio and aesthetic captured my attention, I just knew that my husband and I had to work with her. She captured our love, laughter, and happiness so beautifully. She made us feel comfortable and the session felt effortless, which I was worried about since we’ve never had professional photos taken before. She’s magical, please please work with her! You won’t be disappointed!
