Hiring Vlad & Aida was the BEST decision we could have made! We had a wonderful experience working with them for both our engagement and wedding photos. From the very beginning, we both felt very comfortable with them and had so much fun shooting. Vlad and Aida provided us with a detailed timeline of shots to take on the wedding day where to be and how long it would take. It as a perfect timeline to share with my wedding coordinator and wedding party, it made day of stress free! We received our wedding photos in about a weeks after our wedding. If you are looking for a wedding photographer this is the perfect duo for your special day! Also their pricing is so competitive and if you give them your budget my experience was they did everything in their power to get you what you want in your budget, which not a lot of people did!! They easy to work with and totally open to all options in terms of traveling and locations. Cannot recommend enough!! Seriously having The Theodors capture our big day was the best decision ever and I will be recommending them to all my friends and family Will definitely be reaching out to them again for our next big life moments! :)

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 is the best! If you need an amazing, trustworthy photographer that will do an awesome job then he’s your guy! Super reliable and easy to work with. Thank you Toby! - Jared Sislin

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.

Say Cheese Photography is the best company I have ever worked with. She was incredibly organized, detail oriented, and friendly this was so helpful throughout our planning process - she was communicative and quick to respond to any & every question I had with tons of helpful information. I had no doubt that not only would she take amazing photos but I wouldn't have to worry about any detail not being captured or something feeling unorganized. She totally delivered. We're obsessed with the photos from our wedding weekend everything was captured perfectly & the photos really feel organic and like "us". Not to mention there are so many photos, we keep looking back and finding new favorites or little memories captured that we forgot happened! Neither me or my husband love having our photos taken and She made the entire process fun, easy, and very efficient (which was especially key given how hot it was on our wedding day). Our family and friends continue to rave about our wedding and how amazing it was. She is so talented and professional but also personable. It was so fun working with her I will recommend her to any couple looking for a wedding photographer!!

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.

Irina is an awesome and experienced photographer which is helpful when you have no idea what to expect on your wedding day. She works with you and your coordinator to make sure you get the shots you want. She even recommended some based on previous weddings she did at our venue. The planning process was straightforward and her rates were reasonable. On the day of the wedding she helped us get ready and reassured us that everything would be okay. She never stopped taking pictures and captured some wonderful moments throughout the night. We anxiously awaited our photos and they turned out better than we expected. She did a wonderful job capturing all the important memories. All of the pictures were gorgeous and she really made you feel special. We definitely recommend her to anyone getting married in the Carlsbad area!

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

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.

Yrsina did our wedding pictures and I just loved her personality and professionalism so when we got pregnant we just had to call her to do our pregnancy photos and of course once our baby was born I had to call her again… I have to say when it comes to babies… she has so much patience and she just loves what she does… the end result shows it!!! Wouldn’t have any anyone else taking our pics… we definitely made the right choice! 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!

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 absolutely incredible! I knew she was the photographer I wanted to work with years before I even got engaged and I was so thrilled when she agreed to work with me. She is warm, talented, professional, and also makes you feel so comfortable. I am in love with our photos and wish we could do the day all over again so that I can be immersed in Morgan's positive energy.

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.

I can’t rave enough about Photography by Robyn Disher. Robyn made our special day even more amazing than I could have imagined. She not only captured beautiful photos that I will treasure for a lifetime, but she also acted as a problem solver for anything that came up on the day of our elopement. She made my wife and I feel so comfortable while taking photos it felt like she was part of our family. She really got down and dirty to get some amazing images (she laid on the ground next to a cliff side to get the perfect angle, and she got soaked while she captured us spraying a bottle of champagne in the air to celebrate our elopement). I highly recommend this amazing person and company!

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 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.

I highly recommend this photographer. My wedding day was very stressful for me and my husband, Kin did everything to keep us stress free, it was fun and nice, and the end result is a great souvenir. I wanted to capture "moments" and emotions and he did it. I would highly recommend.

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)!

Hi, I'm Joni! I've been photographing couples for over 10 years now and I just can't seem to get enough of it! My warm, bubbly personality always seems to keep EVERYONE in good spirits throughout the wedding day! I’m a calming force when things start to get stressful and ready to keep the energy up to dance the night away together! Sometimes wedding days don't go exactly as planned. I’m extremely flexible and prepared to provide expert, judgment-free guidance to help you pivot and get right back to having the time of your life!

Joni was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication was efficient, timely, and kind throughout the planning process, which helped keep things running smoothly. On the big day, Joni brought a wonderful energy while capturing countless beautiful, timeless photos that we will treasure forever. She has such a talent for making couples feel comfortable in front of the camera. You can tell photography is her passion! Joni helped ensure the day flowed well by directing us for photos while making the process fun. We were thrilled when she delivered a full wedding album to us in just a few short weeks after our wedding. The turnaround time was unbelievably fast! Overall, Joni is a gem and we couldn't be happier that she was able to photograph our special day.

I've had the pleasure of working with Tara at multiple events and I have nothing but love for this human! As a DJ, I can say that it's important to have a vendor team that work together and communicate well. Tara is everything you could ask for in a wedding photographer and such a sweet person. I tell all my couples, when shopping for your photo/video vendor, book the person you wouldn't mind hanging out with all day...because that's truly what has to happen! I know any couples booking with Studio Vieren will not only have wonderful photos but have a wonderful experience on wedding day. Much love!

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.

So happy with Brittany! Her eye is incredible and she's been wonderful to work with. We at WNDR Museum highly recommend Brittany for anything that calls for visual documentation, as she can elevate any event!

I'm Erin. I'm a photographer, traveler, and wide-eyed wonderer. I split my time between the Midwest and my bungalow near the beach in Oceanside, CA. My favorite pastimes include exploring Disneyland, watching Schitts Creek & Ted Lasso, and cuddling my dog. I have a loud laugh. 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.

To me, capturing the moments of your wedding day is not only about making photos. It is about seeing your love in every single detail. The way you look, smile, touch and hold each other’s hands are those tiny things that help me portray the story of your big love without any words being said.

I really enjoyed Natalia so much! So creative with the film shots. The eventual overall photos were beautiful. I’m not sure how she ran around and captured it all in such a way! She was very punctual and very cooperative about the multiple locations over the course of the day. Wonderful photos I’ll adore forever. Thanks so much Natalia!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Heather Elise, and I can't say enough good things about the experience! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, friendly, and talented.

Throughout the wedding, Heather made everyone feel at ease, which really helped to bring out our natural smiles and personalities.

Kayley was such a pleasure to work with! My husband and I booked her engagement and wedding photo package. We are so glad we did this because it gave us an opportunity to get to know Kayley, and at our wedding it felt like reuniting with a friend! Kayley is so fun to work with, professional, and personable. Kayley was organized and had our shot list ready to go when it came time to take our family and bridal party photos. We are already so happy with our wedding photos after receiving our sneak peek and cant wait to see the rest! We would absolutely recommend Kayley!
