From the moment I saw Pauline's photos, I knew she had to be my photographer. Then once I spoke to…read moreher, I knew she was someone special. She is truly the kind of photographer I would recommend to every single bride without hesitation. If I could give one piece of advice to future brides, it would be to choose true professionals who are not only talented but also deeply experienced. That is exactly who Pauline and why she is the photographer every bride needs in her corner on wedding day. From the very start, Pauline made me feel so supported. She didn't just show up with a camera, she brought wisdom, calm, and the kind of guidance that is needed. She also connected me with two other incredible creatives, Carly from Black Shutter Media for videography and Bianca from BTS by Beee for content creation. Together, they were the DREAM TEAM working seamlessly to capture every angle of the most important day of my life. Pauline's shooting style is unlike anything I've ever seen before. She takes the time to understand your vision and then elevates it into something even more breathtaking. The photos she delivered bring me to tears every time I look at them. Guests still can't stop raving about how amazing our photographer was and I couldn't agree more.

Pauline captured our wedding and we cannot recommend her enough. Pauline was professional,…read moreorganized, and delivered an incredible amount of priceless images. She even edited some shots for us a year later (!) when we realized we wanted some of our key favorites in black and white. She really goes above and beyond for her couples and is a true, trusted professional. Thank you so much Pauline! - Kayla and Mitchell

We wanted an open land/outdoorsy engagement photo shoot. He suggested to meet at Cuyamaca Park and found a great spot to shoot. He walked us all over to get the photos we requested.

He was really quick with our first look and photos with our bridal party in family. But he really shines with his candid shots, the detail is amazing. I don't even know how he got some of the shots because he's very good at "being invisible" I would 100% recommend Pierre to anyone! He was so easy to work with and even helped us stay within our budget. He offers a flat rate instead of hourly, which is so rare to find. He also through in the rehearsal dinner for free! You will be so happy you went with Pierre!

I do…read morenot normally look forward to taking family photos, especially with a toddler who loves to push his limits, but Claire made the whole process so fun and effortless. She has a true gift working with children and by the end of our session my son didn't want her to leave! The photoshoot itself was such a wonderful experience, but we were even more amazed when we received our portfolio. Claire captured the true essence of our family in the most magical way possible and I already know I will treasure these pictures for the rest of my life! I can't thank you enough for preserving these precious memories and little details I never want to forget. I can't recommend Claire enough and am already looking for an excuse to work with her again!

Jessica is absolutely amazing! She took pictures for our maternity session as well as our newborn…read moreson. A year later, she took our family's pictures for our son's one year birthday (cake smash) as well as for the holiday cards. She has a studio at her home with plenty of snacks while you do your sessions. It's also heated for those chillier winter months. The props she has are amazing and add a lovely style to her photos. She has a natural talent for finding perfect poses and the experience to get great angles. She also does locations other than her studio for photo shoots. For our maternity pictures we were at the beach and for our family pics we went to a hiking trail. She's able to taylor yo meet your needs. Her turnover to get pictures back to you is always quicker than she stated which is so lovely (especially when you want to get out holiday cards!) I highly recommend Jessica for her stellar services! You won't be disappointed! Loop

We were quite nervous, as our son isn't exactly always cooperative, but Jessica wasn't frazzled in the least, and just totally put our minds at ease. Even though it seemed like our son cried for most of the shoot (toddlers!), Jessica promised she got tons of great shots of him smiling, and she DID! We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the photos, ha! Jessica was fantastic to work with from the very beginning, offering lots of help with wardrobe choices, location choices, etc. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of our photoshoot and can't wait to hire Jessica again for more photos :) Thank you, Jessica!!!!

There aren't enough words of praise in the English language for Shaun of Top Shelf Photo! We were…read morelucky enough to find him on Yelp for our engagement photos, and in mid-November of 2024 he braved the chill of Palomar Mountain to take spectacular photos of us. Nonstop compliments from friends and family, and received much quicker than anticipated. Once we got into wedding planning, Shaun was the obvious choice for our photography needs. Along with his second shooter Jess (Jessica Christie Photography), he again knocked it out of the park. Couldn't have asked for more perfect photos. On a more personal note, Shaun is the above-and-beyond type of person to take the absolute best shots possible. Like, fixing the boutonniere on my suit himself for the exact right angle, or gently shoo'ing away stinkbugs while helping my wife to re-tie her wedding shoes type of person. His passion and dedication for his craft are inspiring, and I guarantee if you don't love being in photos as a general rule (like myself) he will absolutely put you at ease and make it look like you've been modeling all your life. Thank you for everything Shaun, from the bottom of our hearts.

A Magical Family Photoshoot Experience in San Diego…read more We had such a wonderful experience at Irina Dream Photography in San Diego ! From the moment we walked into her beautiful studio, we felt welcomed and at ease. Irina has created such a cozy, thoughtfully designed space that immediately made our kids feel comfortable -- which made all the difference for our family photoshoot. She guided us through the whole process with such patience and professionalism. From outfit suggestions to helping us with gentle posing and capturing candid moments, Irina made sure every detail was taken care of. The session never felt rushed, and she truly has a gift for working with children -- even our shy toddler warmed up quickly! The final images took our breath away. Every photo felt like a piece of art -- timeless, emotional, and full of love. We'll treasure these forever. If you're looking for a talented family photographer in the San Diego area, I highly recommend Irina Dream Photography. Her studio is a hidden gem!

You will make the right choice by choosing Pam Birmingham Photography! I was referred to Pam by my…read moreco-worker who had hired Pam to capture her son's 1st birthday and cake smash photos. I loved her work since before I even had my own children! Then when my baby girl was born, I contacted Pam to see if she could do a newborn photo shoot. My family and I love the quality of Pam's photos, her attention to detail, and all of the props she had for us to choose from (blankets, buckets, crates, headbands, accessories, etc...). What we love equally as much as her photos, is Pam's easygoing and friendly personality, her patience with our baby, and how obvious it is that she loves her job. Unlike some photographers, her prices were clearly communicated before scheduling the photo shoot. We felt that Pam was generous with her time and final products, which we greatly appreciate. She was quick to reply to us, and was professional from beginning to end. Check out her website for lots of examples of her work!

She made sure that my baby was in a comfortable environment and his needs came before all else which was very comforting for a new mom like myself. The pictures turned out so great! They were creative and cute and even had my husband gushing with ohh's and ahh's. We wound up buying every single photo she took because we could pick just a few. We also ordered some prints and mini brag books for myself and the grandmas and they came two days EARLY!! When does that ever happen?? We will definitely be using her for all of our future children and look forward to his one year photos.
