I started my photography business with a simple goal in mind: to capture real, authentic moments that tell a love story in the most genuine way possible. Photography has been a passion of mine for years, and weddings quickly became my favorite because of the emotion, joy, and once-in-a-lifetime moments they hold. I love creating a comfortable environment where couples can relax and just be themselves while I document the magic. Every wedding is unique, and I feel honored every time a couple trusts me to preserve their memories.

HRichardson Photography was absolutely wonderful to work with for our daughters birthday. Hanna communicates very well and responds super quick! She puts the most effort into capturing memorable moments. Hanna made my whole family happy and involved, and even made my baby smile and laugh. We were very pleased with her work and attention to detail. If anyone wants photos they'll look back at every single day, she is the person to take them. Hanna made us very happy and delivered our album of photos the next day. I am just in AWE with how great she is - everyone needs photos taken by her!!

Indigo West 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Descanso, CA

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Daniel from Indigo West as our wedding photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made. From our first conversation, we loved his calm, thoughtful demeanor and his organic, artistic approach to capturing the day. His eye for composition and detail is exceptional and the photos truly tell a story. As a same-sex couple, we wanted someone who could move beyond traditional wedding clichés, capture the grandeur of our museum venue (complete with dinosaur skeletons) while making it feel intimate, and handle dark, dramatic spaces. Daniel did all of that and more. He captured the energy, emotion, laughter, and joy of the day beautifully. Daniel was efficient but never rushed. He was professional yet playful, and it felt like he immediately understood our dynamic as a couple and with our guests. We trusted his vision completely, and it absolutely shows in the photos. Most importantly, Daniel brought such a fun, relaxed energy—it never felt like he was just doing a job. We can’t recommend him enough.

Hi! My name is Madison, but you can call me Maddi. Raised in Maryland, I've lived in Colorado, South Dakota, and Germany. I now live in San Diego with my husband and our two dogs. I've always had a love for photography and I feel privileged to bring my passion to life. I want my photos to capture the genuine feeling of the moment and to reflect you and your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Madison's not just someone with a camera and capability, she's a photographer with a natural good eye as well. We appreciated her clean subject alignments/angles and more true-to-color editing and were very impressed by the pictures we got back from reception, where we had pretty complex indoor lighting: A whole wall of windows behind us most of the time and then dark brown ballroom lighting into the evening (@Loews Hotel). Not to mention, we asked her to minimize using flash as a personal preference and she was so receptive and remembering of that too. Communicating with her was like talking to a friend. She was responsive, engaged, and inclusive. Could go on and on, but her images speak for themselves because she is consistent both in her photography style as well as personality!

We booked Katherine to shoot our wedding day, which also came with an engagement shoot session, and we cannot recommend her enough! Within the first few minutes of our engagement session we immediately could tell we were in good hands and that our pictures would be amazing. Seeing how incredible our engagement shoot turned out only made us more excited for our wedding day. Katherine was so amazing to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She was professional and punctual and even gave us great advice when discussing other areas of our wedding! Our family and friends could not stop complimenting her direction and vision the day of the wedding and Katherine was so willing to look through some inspo photos I sent her prior to the day and looked for ways to recreate them at our venue. We were absolutely floored by her work when we received the photos back. The images are so crisp and the colors are gorgeous and she gave us so much variety! It is going to be so hard to decide which photos we want to hang on our walls!

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 can't say enough good things about The Brews Photography! They were SO AWESOME to work with right from the start! During planning, I had multiple questions about the big day. Hailey and David were always available to chat and answer any question that I had. It was so helpful! On the wedding day David and Hailey were absolutely amazing! They made us feel so comfortable and at ease. They always seemed to be in the perfect spot capturing photos and multiple guests at the wedding raved about how great they were. We also wanted to take some off site photos on the beach for our first look. David and Hailey had already scouted the location and knew exactly where to go for the best photos and lighting. This made the day so much easier and helped us save on time so we could get back to our guests! After the wedding we got our photos and were blown away! Such beautiful photos and ones we will treasure forever! We would 100% recommend The Brews Photography to anyone who's looking for an amazing wedding photographer! Thank you Hailey and David for making our day so magical from the start to the end:)

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.

We loved working with Emily! She was so responsive and really made us feel so much less anxious over the photography for the wedding ! The guide and photo planning document she shared in the lead up really helped us make a game plan prior to wedding day. We got every photo we wanted and then some. Our recommendation is to go in with a few must haves and then just trust Emily to do what she does best. We couldn’t have had a better experience!

Hi there! I'm Kayla, and I'm so glad you're here! I've spent the past six years capturing love, beauty, and joy across Southern California. Photography has been my passion since I was five, and turning it into a career has been the most rewarding journey. One of my clients shared: "The pictures came out beautiful and had my mom in tears. Kayla made us all feel so comfortable and beautiful. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again." If you’re looking for someone to capture your special moments, I’d love to help you create memories that last a lifetime!

Kayla was absolutely amazing to work with! From the moment she arrived, her sweet and bubbly personality made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured our wedding day so beautifully…every emotion, every moment, and all the little details we might have missed in the chaos of the day. I’m so obsessed with her flat lays and how she incorporated our special keepsakes. I had mentioned wanting my colors to really pop, and she captured them perfectly! Her eye for detail is incredible, and she somehow managed to make every photo feel natural yet timeless. The turnaround time was so quick… we received a sneak peek soon after the wedding, which made us even more excited for the full gallery. Kayla also brought along a second shooter who was just as wonderful, and together they didn’t miss a single moment. We’re beyond grateful to have these photos to look back on forever. I couldn’t recommend Kayla enough to any couple looking for someone who not only takes beautiful photos but also brings such warmth and joy to their day.

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.

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!

📍SoCal + Beyond 📸 Creating Immersive & Editorial Wedding Photos. AKA: Photos that make you FEEL like you were there when you look back at them & photos fit for a magazine. 🔥For ANTI-trend lovers of intention & style. AKA: Those who value personal details over trends.

Our wedding was genuinely a DIY wedding ran by the power of Hashem and our community way back in August 2025. We had one of our close friends, Jordan Daniels, who offered his phenomenal photography for our wedding ceremony. Unfortunately, Jordan had a previous obligation that did not allow him to stay very long past the ceremony, and that’s where Jessica comes in and shines. Jessica was another last-minute investment for us, as it was so important to capture as much of the day we possibly could. Although the wedding ceremony photos are so essential to capture the wedding party, traditions, and family, the reception photos Jessica provided us revealed the authentic joy and celebration the afterparty brought. Jessica was consistently responsive in her communication and fair with her pricing. Her turnaround speed after editing was also surprisingly fast. She understood, because she was popping in later during the reception, there was no need for her to ask to start her photography. She is familiar with the wedding venue scene in San Diego and knew exactly where the reception was without any issues. She is a natural and got started right away on capturing those genuine candid moments. She paid attention to the small details on the tables, the décor, the cake, the dancing, the friends, and the music. We are so happy to see these memories that will be here with us for a lifetime thanks to Jessica Paige.

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!

Eduardo was very nice to work with since the beginning. He is very kind and professional and just does a great job without adding any stress. He provided some portfolios of previous work he had done, which were very photo journalistic, not just the posed shots, and we knew he was the one! He definitely has an eye for placement, reflections, and catching people’s authenticity. He spent the whole wedding day with us, from getting ready all the way till the sparkler exit. I never even saw him take a break. He even ran with us to get some sunset photos at a nearby vineyard while guests were having dinner. He even got some good shots of everyone on the dance floor without being too in your face, I didn’t even notice he was there! We got all of the photos we wanted and more. Eduardo definitely doesn’t treat his clients as a number, he understands the importance of the day and ensures that he captures it in a way that tells the story of the day. Highly recommend Eduardo for your photography needs!

We completely trusted her, and the results speak for themselves — the photos are absolutely stunning! What sets Linda apart, though, is how warm, friendly, and easy-going she is. It was like having a friend there with us. We are so in love with the photos she captured — they’re just perfect. If I could offer one small suggestion (though it’s really not a critique of Linda), it would be to have someone there to help with the dress — adjusting it and making sure everything stays just right. Overall, Linda truly exceeded our expectations in every way. We’re beyond grateful for her and so happy we chose her to document such a special day!

I love telling the messy, beautiful stories of life and each person’s own unique experience being human. I'm a people-person to my core and I thrive on creating a space where you can feel free to be your incredible self. I want us to know each other as real people, not just as commitments on each other’s calendars. Let's be friends and make photos that are lovely and messy and true. This is an inclusive, anti-racist space for all humans, all love, and all body-types. You, your love, and your story are welcome here. Come as you are.

From the very first email to the delivery of our final gallery, Brittany made the entire process feel effortless. She was responsive, organized, and genuinely excited for us, which made us feel so supported and cared for. Every step of the way, she communicated clearly and made sure we felt confident and comfortable. What stood out the most was how personal she made the experience. She remembered the little details we mentioned, checked in to see how we were doing, and made us feel like our wedding was just as important to her as it was to us. Those thoughtful touches made us feel extra special and truly valued as clients. During our session, Brittany was such a calming and encouraging presence. She guided us when we needed direction but also gave us space to be ourselves. We never felt awkward in front of the camera because she created an environment that was fun, natural, and full of genuine joy. I hope we get a chance to work with Brittany again someday, and I know that anyone else who does will absolutely love their photos like we do.

Hello there. Holy moly, I've been photographing all the pretty things, places and people for 12 years! I am a proud Mama to 3 kiddos, so I get the chaos that comes with love, life and the little ones. I love to dive right in and figure out what story I've been invited to tell. Who are you? I want to know your why. Why do you want your pictures taken and why me. Together we'll create your wardrobe with intention and choose a location that speaks to you. I always encourage connection, music, kisses and your best dance moves.

Kristen was a dream to work with from start to finish. Our engagement shoot was fun and playful to start, then ended with some steamy sunset photos in the water. Our wedding day was just as perfect! Kristen is attentive and worked great with our planner and timeline. Our guests said she was so kind and playful. Truly the BEST investment!

Hey there! Welcome! My name is Taylor- I am so glad you’re here! I am a documentary photographer based in the West Coast. I LIVE for capturing your love! You and your love story are anything but typical, and I strive to document that in the most candid and authentic way. My style is candid, documentary with a sprinkle of editorial. I want you to be YOURSELVES so I can help tell your true story. You've got incredible style, an amazing personality, and captivating energy that's impossible to ignore. So why should you settle for photos that don't reflect that? You deserve photos that celebrate your most alive and authentic selves!

I attended a styled shoot put on by Taylor and her friend Sierra. It was so beautifully styled! Taylor communicated well beforehand, was friendly and professional. I would 100% recommend working with Taylor!
