She has such a bubbly personality to really pull you out of your shell so that you're having fun at all your shoots. Plus, she is super responsive and easy to get a hold of when you're a panicked bride dealing with covid postponements. Even when she was out on maternity leave, we still got our wedding pictures back within the quoted time window. We would absolutely book her again for all of our photography needs!

THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER IN SAN DIEGO! I found Briana when I…read moredecided to find a photographer a week before my courthouse wedding. Something about her drew me in and I'm sooooooo happy I went with my gut! She responded quickly and was accommodating to our last minute arrangements. Briana is incredibly kind and friendly and you will love her the second you meet her. She makes you feel so comfortable and at ease from start to finish. She does everything in her power to make you happy and she also takes AMAZING photos so that helps too! I was extremely impressed with not only Briana and her work but also with how quickly she got our edited photos back to us. If you're looking for someone to take photos of whatever special moment in your life then she is your girl! You will not be disappointed, I promise.

Paige is amazing! She shot my wedding at the Admiral Kidd Club in Point Loma. I found her more than…read morea year before my wedding but she remained consistent from Day 1 to wedding day. She sets a mood that you can only really understand once you've met her, lol. Every meeting was calming and left me feeling better than before I'd met with her. Professional to the max. Our last meeting before the wedding, we took a walk in the area of my hotel, just scouting for possible places to take first glance/wedding party/family portrait photos. She spotted an area that we ended up using and it turned out great! Now the pictures. They're amazing and I haven't even received all of them (my wedding was just a week ago). She did provide me with a few images and they're perfect. I found Paige on Instagram and knew right away I wanted my wedding story to be told by her pictures and she did NOT disappoint. If you're considering Paige as your photographer, do yourself a favor and book her. You absolutely will not regret it.

She is very efficient with her time knowing exactly where to take the best photos and giving us directions on how to stand and pose naturally. We've worked with other photographers who didn't give us much direction which wasted a lot of time and made us feel lost and you can see them in the photos. So glad we found her and we can't wait to take our future holiday and baby milestone photos with her.

Her work is amazing. This is my 2nd shoot with her and I probably wouldn't go to anyone else in the Cali area. Being from out of town it's scary to work with someone you're literally meeting the day of but from the first moment everything clicked flawlessly. I currently have 3 of her photos in my office and there's not a single person that doesn't come in and compliments them! If you're considering her - just go ahead and book .. you'll be happy you did!

This review is not specific to their photography skills - we did not end up using them as…read morephotographers. Here's my story: I live in LA and there is a well-known wedding photographer who is also named Katherine Rose. Katherine Rose (LA) shot our very good friends' wedding two years ago and also came highly recommended by one of the partners of 100 layer cake that we're also very close with. I looked at Katherine (LA)'s portfolio via a link sent to me and my fiancé and I loved her work. We chatted about photographers over dinner one night and decided to go with Katherine Rose, so from my phone I googled her name and was directed to Katherine Rose (Escondido)'s website unbeknownst to me that there were two wedding photographers with the same name. I emailed Katherine Rose (Escondido) specifically mentioning all the people close to us that had recommended her and how excited we were to have her shoot our wedding. She did not acknowledge nor tell me that she didn't actually know any of the people who I said recommended her. Long story short, I signed a contract and paid a $1k deposit for the WRONG Katherine Rose. I discovered my mistake when we decided to push our date back a couple weeks. Of course, I'd already signed a contract and given a "non-refundable" deposit. Katie did give me back 60% of deposit, which of course per the contract she didn't have to, but it still left me feeling pretty disappointed. I felt misled. However.. I'm also very grateful that I discovered the error before the wedding and was able to book the Katherine Rose I intended to book.

She made it all so incredibly easy and was very communicative and responsive. When we did the shoot, she was so sweet to my 2 year old toddler and made sure she was engaged and having fun while simultaneously suggesting different spots to take pictures, poses, etc. It was very impressive! She was able to turn around the pictures quickly at my request and there were SO MANY good ones - we are so happy with how they turned out. I will definitely be reaching out again for any photography needs we have in the future. Thank you Danielle, you were fantastic!

I recommend her hands down!

Both Pauleen and Myro are incredibly talented and professional photographers. Pauleen helped make us feel entirely at ease in front of the camera with her directions and constantly hyping us up. On our wedding day, she knew all the best photo spots at our venue and was able to get us a wide variety of photos for our couple's portraits. Myro did a fantastic job getting photos of all our guests during the cocktail hour. We had several guests compliment how friendly he was and how many people he captured. In the background leading up to our wedding day, the True Photography team helped put a photography timeline that aligned with our wedding coordinator's timeline. This helped ensure we got all the photos needed included first looks, couple's portraits, family portraits, etc. No special moment was missed by the team throughout the wedding. From first looks to dancing at the end of the night, we the full story of our wedding day captured!

True team helped us create a thorough timeline while offering suggestions/clarification so we knew what to expect and see the vision! Alex, Sheryl, and Dillan were assigned as our wedding day True team! Alex kept us on track with getting important photos and staying within the timeline. Alex was clear on posing directions and had such a calm demeanor/communication style that helped me feel reassured. Sheryl was our second photographer who captured the best candids and fun moments (e.g. one of the groomsmen had his shirt off and I didn't know until we saw the photos! HAHA). Dillan was here, there, and everywhere to get the best angles for our first dance, games, and guest reactions. Looking at our photos, I'm floored with how beautiful they turned out! The wedding day came and went like a flash, but now we have sooo many photos to remind us of the happy and heartwarming moments from that day. Excited to see how the videos turn out! Highly recommend considering True Photography & Video!

Last fall, we got our friend's wedding announcement in the mail. A good friend would call their…read morefriend and say "congratulations!" but what did I call to say? "WHO WAS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER?" Oops! My bad. Sorry, friend -- by the way, congratulations! Enter Erin Leigh of http://www.thebowerygirl.com who I instantly booked a session with. My husband and I went mini-golfing for our photo session 'cause we're cute like that...and it was incidentally that day in San Diego that was like 107 degrees with 100% humidity. Oops! My bad. The camera has never lied so beautifully. I mean, it was 107 and we're out mini-golfing -- you can put 2+2 together and realize we looked and felt sweaty and DISGUSTING...but the photos somehow came out incredibly! We are blessed with many friends who are amazing photographers, but Erin took one of my single most favorite photos of my husband and I of all time which I will attach to this review. & shooting with her was a blast!!! Ask Erin Leigh about her super cool heirloom techniques like daguerrotype! Or just google daguerrotype and then stare slackjawed while you think to yourself: "holy shit, there's a photographer in San Diego who can do this? DO I REALLY LIVE IN A CITY THIS COOL?" The answer is: yes & yes.

Erin is a well-kept secret that shouldn't be! When I sent my recent engagement shoot to a friend,…read morethe rapid-fire reply I got was a request for her number to do their family photo shoot. She's *that* type of good. In fact, I learned about Erin from someone else's photos, too. The way she captured the light and the unique background of how they met in their engagement photos stayed with me for years. (Let's be honest, how many other people's photos do you remember? Exactly.) That was back in my jaded single days, when I didn't bother to save photographer names! Luckily, it was my turn to start The Great Wedding Photographer Hunt and someone sent me Erin's way again last week. Fate! My fiancé and I are not the posey posey traditional wedding photo types. To be honest, finding a wedding photographer was at the top of my Dreaded Wedding Tasks list. I was nervous about meeting up with Erin (and here I thought first date jitters were done!), but she was so understanding and fun in the initial emails that I started to warm up to it. Next thing I knew, we booked a Sunday shoot and ended up laughing our way across San Diego, snapping pictures in secret locations I can't believe she found. She had creative ideas and was so easy to be around that when the pictures came back, I was stunned at how much I saw ourselves in them. She hadn't just captured us looking our best, she had captured us *being* our best. Everyone who has seen the photos has been impressed at how real they seem (and yet, flattering, ha!) She is solid talent, and the fact that she's an absolute pleasure to work with is just bonus. Trust me, your search is done. This lady has a gift for photography and I can't wait to entrust her with capturing the most important day to come. I'm doubling down on Erin. I'm not sure if this is a fan letter or a Yelp review, but do with it what you will, Yelpers!
