Image In Love Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Solana Beach, 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.

Image In Love Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography and family photography. From the very beginning, their communication was quick and responsive, putting our minds at ease during the planning process. On the day of the wedding, they were punctual and efficient, capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. The quality of their work was excellent - the photos were beautifully detailed and captured the essence of our day perfectly. This continued on to all our special moments, having a family etc. Toby, the lead photographer, has been doing our photos for over 10 years and never disappoints. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend Image In Love Photography to any couple looking for an experienced, talented team to document their special moments in time.

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. The work we do, the memories we capture will last you a lifetime. 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We came across Gleimlight Photography during our wedding planning last year, and fell in love with their work. My now husband used to own his own production company and is big into film and photography, so, he had incredibly high standards and I was so excited we had found a photographer that met and exceeded our expectations! Working with Christina and Jake was effortless. 2020 was definitely a challenging year, and planning a wedding amongst the chaos was even more challenging, but, they went with the flow of our constantly changing plans (like changing up until the week of), and made what was an extremely stressful time in our lives that much easier. We're both camera shy, and they just made it easy and comfortable, and man oh man, our photos are breathtaking. Thank you, Christina and Jake, for sticking with us and your patience, for your professionalism, your can-do attitude, and for giving us such an amazing gift with our photos. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! It wasn't the wedding we originally planned, but, it was a beautiful day and we're so grateful you were there to capture it for us. xoxo H&C

Welcome to PKA Photography! We are a dynamic husband-wife duo, our journey began when our own wedding visuals left us unsatisfied in 2022. Instead of dwelling on discontent, we took charge, giving birth to PKA Photography in June 2022. In this short span, we've joyfully captured over 300 weddings and events, spanning from intimate elopements to heartwarming civil ceremonies. Each event embodies a unique tale, a celebration of love, and an opportunity to freeze magical moments in time. In every project, we step into your shoes, ensuring that your experience with us aligns with everything we'd desire for our own wedding.

We had the best experience with Mia, Laron, and Nafas for our August wedding at the Old Rancho Estate in Carlsbad. They were such a fun and professional team to work with, capturing both candid and posed moments beautifully. They made us feel at ease, and their guidance helped us look and feel our best throughout the day. They were also super efficient, keeping everything on schedule while making sure we didn’t feel rushed. The package pricing was competitive, and we’re thrilled with the value we received. We highly recommend Mia and her team for anyone looking for talented photographers who bring both creativity and joy to your big day. We’d happily work with them again!

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.

From our conversation on the phone a few months before our wedding to our engagement session we immediately knew this was the team for us. Her warm, approachable personality and sense of humor made her a perfect fit for our event. The communication leading up to the wedding was timely and precise, reassuring us that she understood our vision--someone who could blend into the background yet engage with guests to capture every special moment. After the wedding, we were thrilled with the hundreds of stunning photos she provided. We were so shocked by all the little details they were able to capture. Our entire wedding day was captured and you feel like you were there just by looking at all the pictures. Nothing was missed and everything was absolutely stunning. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer.

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!

Hi there! I'm Khoa, a San Diego based wedding photographer who enjoys spending time with good people and road trips. 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.

Khoa was our wedding photographer from getting ready until the end of the night and we had an amazing experience with him the entire time! He is incredibly sweet and easy to work with, and made us feel very comfortable from the get-go. He was very thoughtful and thorough in using all aspects of our venue to provide amazing photos capturing the whole day. He worked very efficiently with us leading up to the ceremony to get us photos while still keeping us hidden away from our arriving guests, and then, during the ceremony and reception, he was amazingly unobtrusive but still able to capture all the great moments of our night! Khoa sent us a few preliminary photos which were all so perfect for personalizing our thank you cards. Once we got the full complement of photos from him we were blown away by the quality, editing, and energy he was able to capture from our wedding day. He is immensely generous with the number of photos he provides, and we have to stress that he somehow manages to deliver on both quantity AND quality. He is also very talented in composition and there were more than several photos that we never noticed him getting - everything perfectly captured the energy and feeling of the day and felt like we were reliving it again. Overall he feels like the complete package and we recommend him without hesitation!!!

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.

We used Carlsbad Photo for our wedding and our photographer Irina was phenomenal. Neither my husband nor I were very comfortable with having our pictures taken and she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed for both our engagement and wedding. She took so many beautiful candid photographs and gave direction to make our pictures look both beautiful and natural. She was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her.I chose Carlsbad Photo before I even picked my dress! When you meet people with a good heart who are loving life, everything around them is that much better. Why would you not want someone like that shooting your special day when you are surrounded by everyone you love? Her energy enhances everything and she will make you laugh so much! She will help you with questions beyond photos for your big day - she has a lot of experience and literally knows everything about weddings! She was pretty much our coordinator. She instructed us when to stop and kiss after we headed out of the isle, how to cut the cake, and even how to toss my bouquet to get the most beautiful pictures!!!And to me, the best part of booking Irina is that you will have someone on your special day who truly is the TEAM BRIDE!

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.

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!

When I got engaged, I literally a week later reached out to get her booked . I had alot of changes with my elopement but she was super helpful and responsive every step of the way. My husband is not a very photogenic person . He actually hates taking photos . But she brought him out of his shell and we had the best experience, rain and all . It was so memorable and intimate.

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 highly recommend YC Photography for all of your wedding needs! Yrsina not only captures the love between two people, but the love shared among family too! We had her take photos of my son and his new bride on their wedding day and at the reception. These photos will be cherished for a lifetime!

We were really drawn to her candid style of photography and outgoing personality. From the first email she was genuine and personable, making us feel extremely comfortable and excited for the process. Brittany spent a great deal of time getting to know us and what we were really looking for from our wedding photos. When the day came, we both felt relaxed and ready to have fun. It felt like we had a close friend taking our photos and not some random person. I would highly recommend working with Brittany, we look forward to continuing to work with her for future family photos!

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.

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 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!

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!

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. Bree is all of that and more. Her photos are fabulous and her easy and cheerful personality is one that makes her easy to work with! I highly recommend Bree for your special day.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Studio Vieren for our wedding day and it was the best decision we made! We can't say enough good things about Tara. From beginning to end — Tara was warm, kind, attentive, and truly passionate about her art and work. It is evident that she cares so much about what she does, as well as the couples she works with. She gives her all to ensure a truly wonderful and special experience. To begin, our consultation with her went amazingly. As soon as we started speaking with her, there was no question that she would be the artist to capture our wedding day. Not only was she a great listener (often later remembering the tiniest detail mentioned during this initial meeting that took place before we even hired her), but the love she has for making wedding days beautiful shone through. We initially found her and were captivated by her cinematic, warm, romantic, and in-the-moment style, and we were only further convinced to hire her by her lovely personality and the passion she showed us in that initial consultation. Once we hired her, Tara only kept impressing us. Throughout the entire planning process, she was always organized, prepared, detail-oriented, available, and creative. Every step of the process was clearly outlined for us and she always put our needs first while ensuring she would be able to deliver the vision we were hoping for. On the wedding day, Tara was nothing short of an angel. Not only did she excel in her own role as documentarian extraordinaire, but she also stepped up to help us navigate the day when our day-of-coordinator wasn't meeting expectations. She went above and beyond — making us feel taken care of and at ease (as much as a bride can be on her wedding day, haha). So many of our guests even went out of their way to tell us how outstanding they thought she was. She showed an unwavering commitment to ensuring that our day was unforgettable. And once we received the photos and film (which she delivered in a timely manner) — just wow! Everything turned out so beautifully. Tara captured our wedding day (the big and little moments alike) with so much warmth and magic. Seeing her incredible work allowed my husband and I to relive the day, and appreciate and love it more than we thought we could. Tara has such a gift and we can't thank her enough for everything she did for us.

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.

Erin is an incredibly warm person and immediately made us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot. We had never done a shoot like this and were nervous and worried about feeling awkward, but her easygoing demeanor and natural instructions took all the stress off of us and we really enjoyed the experience. Erin has a detailed eye and a talent for capturing the natural beauty of the outdoors which was important to us. After our first great experience, we asked her to shoot our wedding as well on a cliff overlooking Sedona, AZ. She captured the scenery and golden hour lighting in breathtaking shots that were flattering of us and perfectly captured the grandeur of the red rocks around us. We will treasure the photos forever. Thank you Erin!

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. Heather took the time to understand our vision and preferences, which made a huge difference in the outcome. She had a fantastic eye for detail and captured moments beautifully, turning ordinary scenes into stunning works of art.

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