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.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Ronalyn! From start to finish, she captured every moment beautifully. The photos are stunning—full of life and emotion. Ronalyn made us feel comfortable, resulting in natural, candid shots that tell our story. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to capture special moments!

Katherine was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer! She arrived on time, was very friendly and has an approachable demeanor. I mentioned to her that I was expecting at the time of the wedding photoshoot which she took into much consideration by making sure we took breaks in-between and offered me water throughout the entire event. She was very patient with all of us and we fell in love with her work, we hope we get the chance of working with her for family photos in the future!

True photography was just amazing! Jen was our initial contact who ended up serving as the lead photographer on our team. She helped us set our schedule starting a month out from the big day, and was super accommodating to all our adjustments. We had them for 8 hours of coverage, and they knew just how to direct us and capture all the right moments. We had so much fun with them the whole night, and we got the photos back just a week later. They are BEAUTIFUL! They'll be doing a maternity shoot for us later this year and we can't wait for more amazing shots!

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!

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!

Hi & Welcome to Otto Kelly Photography. My name is Susan and I am the Lead Photographer. Otto Kelly Photography is also a wife & husband team when hiring both Photo + Video. We are San Diego based and have been capturing weddings since 2016. We love traveling throughout Southern California and get the opportunity to capture so many amazing couples every year.

Susan was amazing to work with. My fiance and I were wanting formal engagement photos for our Save the Dates and social media and the photos turned out amazing! Susan was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. She was so knowledgeable, friendly and professional with helping us pose naturally as it was our first formal photo shoot and were very nervous and inexperienced at the time. She was very open to adding in any props/shots that we wanted but also was able to take the lead when we needed. The delivery of photos was easy and her editing style is gorgeous. I would highly recommend her, I still love looking at the photos, they were perfect for wedding decor.

From the first moment I talked to Nicole at Nicole Reyes Photography, I felt like we were old friends. She was so kind and welcoming, asking detailed questions and learning more about my fiancé and I. We talked about venues, and she even gave me valuable feedback that the initial location I was considering would have some challenges. I'm so thankful for her guidance! I landed on my dream venue :). When I mentioned we would love to have our engagement photos taken in our town in Texas, Nicole was totally on board and travelled to meet us the next month! On the day of our wedding, Nicole and her team captured stunning, beautiful photos. The team was attentive to all the little details, and even did a little extra detail session when some of our details didn't make it to the venue! I could not be happier with the value and quality of Nicole Reyes Photography's work, and I highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding. You will love Nicole, and do family pictures and more with her! Thank you, NRP!

I'm a caretaker by nature. (Enneagram fan? I'm a 2w3) I love to laugh and am often told I have a calming presence. My friends tell me I have a huge heart and am a good listener. Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Melissa working in the industry on one of the most difficult shoots I've ever been on. That night she was a total professional and amazing photographer and we quickly bonded. I trust her so much that when it was time for my wedding she was who I asked to capture it. She travelled to France to photograph our wedding and was there like one of our family. She kept us calm and having fun in the stressful moments and her creativity made some of the most incredible wedding photos we could have imagined. Now years later Melissa is the person we call first when it is time to capture our family growing. If her photographs aren't enough to convince you, take it from someone who filmed weddings for 13 years; Melissa is the person you want capturing your day.

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.

Her work is absolutely flawless and she will do anything and everything to make sure your day is spotless!

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!

We absolutely loved working with Erin! We was responsive and on top of things from the beginning. She had such a great attitude and energy, which really eased a lot of our uncomfortable-ness of being in front of a camera. For our engagement photos, she spent a lot of time scouting out the best locations at our venue to ensure we got some really beautiful photos. Which of course we did! For the wedding, she made sure to get every single specific photo I told her was important to me. Even ones I had forgotten about in the moment. I was truly grateful for how patient she was the day of and how organized she was. We’ve only gotten our sneak peek photos but so far but they are incredible! She is so talented and has such a beautiful eye for photography! Book Erin!
