PHOTOGRAPHER/DRONE PILOT - Katie Doner - Drawn to the arts since I was young, my passion continued into college, where I studied for my BA in Fine Arts. My love of photography found me unexpectedly in high school. I fell in love with every aspect of it. You can find me traveling the world, surfing or photographing beauty & love wherever I find it. PHOTOGRAPHER-Joey Licata  As a child, I dabbled with my mom’s film camera, and my interest in the craft never waned. Following years of graduate work, I taught myself photography. My camera grants me freedom and joy. Behind its lens, I observe and find beauty in the unscripted, capturing raw emotion

I have nothing but great things to say! Katie was both personable and professional with both of our family photo shoots! She really went the extra mile by scouting out gorgeous places to take photos and having us meet her at the best time of day for lighting. My son was only 2, and she had so many great tricks up her sleeve to make him smile! She also had the perfect mix of a calm demeanor and an excited tone that made my son enjoy the experience! She got the photos back to us in such a timely fashion and her website was really easy to navigate. I get SO many compliments on the photos and they are my favorite ones that my family has ever taken! Thank you Katie!!

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!

MJ is just a phenomenal professional to work with. I reached out to MJ to capture my proposal to my girlfriend at Windansea Beach. MJ went above and beyond with her preparations and even got on numerous phone calls with me to help me with the planning to ensure I had the perfect location on the beach for the perfect shot. MJ got to the location early to scout out the area and caught our magical moments for us. MJ is the ultimate professional and is extremely kind and easy to work with.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Linda for our elopement, and she exceeded all expectations in every way possible. From the moment we booked her, the process was incredibly easy and user-friendly. The booking system was straightforward, and I immediately felt confident in our choice. Her communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. She was in constant touch with us, especially when it came to the venue. Not only did she provide guidance and suggestions, but she also took the initiative to visit the site earlier in the week to scout locations with the best lighting and backdrops. Her attention to detail made the day go smoothly. Our elopement took an unexpected turn when it ended up being filmed for the news, causing us to go overtime. Despite the extended hours, Linda stayed well past her scheduled time and even took stunning photos of our interviews. Her dedication to capturing every moment, even the unplanned ones, was above and beyond. With her extensive experience with elopements, particularly at the San Diego courthouse, she had a deep understanding of the best timing and locations for photos, which made everything flow effortlessly. Her knowledge truly helped us maximize our time and get the most out of our special day. On top of her professionalism and expertise, she was a delight to work with. She brought a warm and calm energy to the day, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Her price point was also very reasonable for the level of service she provided. Without a doubt, I would book her again for any future events and highly recommend her to all my friends. If you're looking for a skilled, dedicated, and genuinely wonderful photographer for your elopement, Jalea Photography is the one!

Freshly landed from Paris, France. Christophe has been a travel photographer for the past ten years and decided to expand his creative horizons toward white dresses and bow ties here in California. His European touch will definitely bring something special to your wedding day.

I worked with Heather and her team for the day of wedding planning and Christophe was our photographer for the day. They were both amazing. They are detail oriented, professional, and kept us on schedule throughout the day. Despite having a more “difficult” wedding venue (military base), they made everything as easy as it could be with all of our vendors. Christophe went above and beyond to get beautiful photos that we will be able to look back on for the rest of our lives and remember our special day. He also took care to get some very sentimental photos with my father’s military uniform. You won’t regret hiring them, but you’ll definitely be missing out if you don’t.

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!!!

As a documentary wedding photographer, I’m here to capture your day exactly as it unfolds—real, unposed, and full of heart. Whether you're getting married in San Diego or halfway across the world, I focus on the honest moments that make your story yours. With a blend of film and digital, I craft galleries that feel timeless, cinematic, and true to the day.

Teresa was so great to work with! We booked her as our wedding photographer, and it was everything we dreamed of and more! Leading up to the wedding, the process was extremely easy and clear. Teresa was always prompt in answering emails and happy to jump on a FaceTime call to discuss any questions or talk through the day ahead of time. We already thought she had a beautiful portfolio, and when talking together, she understood the vision of telling the story of the day through an artistic and romantic lens. On the day, she was super easy to work with, and when the timeline ran long due to other factors, she stayed calm and we figured out a way to rework the timeline to get what we needed. We felt very comfortable with her, and she helped direct us into some poses to get some amazing shots. We received our sneak peeks just about a week later and were blown away. Friends and family said they looked like they were out of Vogue or Vanity Fair. We're so excited to see the rest, and would definitely recommend!

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).

I worked alongside Kayley at a bridal shoot in Seattle. Kayley is a complete professional and had excellent communication when she was coordinating the event. I saw that she was able to execute a beautiful vision and work well with all the vendors and people involved in the shoot. I really enjoyed working with her, and her works speaks for itself. She made the day even more fun and I would 100% recommend Kayley to photograph any special moment in your life.

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!!!!!!!!!!

Shaun Baker Photography

Shaun Baker is San Diego’s Premier Wedding Photographer. Shaun grew up studying film/television and the art of story telling. “I love people and I am fascinated by the way we interact. I love the stories that each of us carry around. That’s what makes us all great. I have a need to capture the individuals raw emotions and give it back in a beautiful way. “When the camera is in my hand, normalcy is the furthest thing from my mind. It is normal for me to be in a tree, on a rooftop, or laying on the ground during a wedding so I am always in the best position to get the most creative shot possible. I'm always striving to exceed expectations.

Shaun takes the most gorgeous photos while capturing the authenticity and emotion behind the wedding day! After being part of several wedding parties with overly-posed photos, we knew we wanted a photographer who captures the real moments, facial expressions, and joy of a wedding day. Shaun did all of that and more! The photos turned out absolutely incredible, he has an amazing personality and has a way to put anyone in front of the camera at ease. Not only that, half the time we forgot the cameras were even there, which meant we got to be in the moment at our wedding and soak it all in. Now the only problem is figuring out which of the photos to print as canvas wall art because there are so many good ones!
