Awarded Best of Zola
We hired one of the photographers from this team, and she was truly one of the sweetest people we've ever met. As someone who tends to over-research and compare every little detail (yes, I looked at over 100 portfolios!), I kept coming back to their work because it stood out in both quality and emotion. You can tell they genuinely care and take their work seriously. Our photographer was incredibly kind, gave clear and gentle direction, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. We never felt awkward, and the guidance we received helped the day flow so smoothly. Our full gallery is absolutely stunning. If you're a detail-obsessed bride like me who overthinks every decision—trust me, you can stop looking. This is the team.

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.

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.

We cannot say enough good things about working with Alexis! She captured our love so perfectly and exceeded all of our expectations. The photos turned out better than our Pinterest board! Working with her was such a breeze. She’s communicative, easy going, and really knows how to hype you up so she makes any camera shy personalities (my husband) feel very comfortable! We are beyond obsessed with our photos and can’t wait to work with her again!

Hi, I’m Chris Wood—founder of SD Photo Studio and a wedding photographer with over 24 years of experience capturing authentic, timeless moments. Based in San Diego, I’ve had the honor of documenting weddings all across Southern California, In addition to my work behind the camera, I’ve spent the past 10 years teaching photography at UC San Diego, including courses in portrait photography. I believe the best photos come from a relaxed atmosphere and genuine connection. I’ll help you feel confident in front of the camera and deliver a final gallery that truly reflects your day.

My husband and I used Wedgewood for our wedding. They offered multiple vendors, but I knew after the first phone call with Chris, that he was going to be our photographer. He was very professional with a wealth of knowledge since he has so much experience with photographing weddings. He assured me that when you hire SD Photo Studio, you aren't just getting a new photographer that he sends out, you get him and his expert team. We had a few phone calls, making sure every detail was perfect and what we wanted. He would always give his opinion, but ultimately it is up to the client to decide. We pretty much let him do his thing, and during the entire wedding day, we didn't have to think about photography. He captured everything we wanted and more (even my husband watching the final minutes of the Celtics game). Wedding pictures are something you'll have for the rest of your life. I am so proud to have these pictures, and they were worth every penny. Too many great ones to choose, but I included a good range. Please don't hesitate to hire Chris and SD Photo Studio for your special day; you won't regret it!

I believe that love inspires art. Your wedding day will most likely be a blur of joy, nerves, and excitement with some extraordinary moments in between. Using both film and digital mediums, I balance a combination of both editorial and photojournalistic styles with a fine art approach. This collaboration will allow you both to fully enjoy each and every moment, as we tell the story of your wedding day. Wedding photography is an investment that lasts a lifetime, it’s the part of your wedding day that lives on. This is your love story, told in a classic, authentic, and timeless way.

Here is your super sweet review: My husband and I love our engagement and wedding photos! I especially loved working with her as she is organized, professional, warm, so enthusiastic, and passionate about what she does!! She was also encouraging and made us feel comfortable during our engagement/maternity photo session and wedding day. I am so happy she was there on our wedding day, as she was a joy to be around and all of her pictures she sent us are beautiful!

I’m a La Jolla–based photographer specializing in engagement sessions that feel effortlessly romantic, natural, and true to each couple’s story. I’m passionate about capturing connection, movement, and the kind of candid moments that happen when two people are completely themselves. La Jolla’s cliffs, tide pools, and golden sunsets offer a stunning backdrop that elevates every session, creating imagery that is both editorial and heartfelt. My goal is to guide you with ease, help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and deliver timeless photos that reflect your relationship in its most authentic light.

Daniela gave us the most beautiful engagement session. Her eye for detail is amazing—every pose, every angle, every moment felt intentional yet natural. The final gallery looks like something out of a magazine, with an editorial feel but still very emotional and authentic. Working with her was such a professional, enjoyable experience. Truly exceptional!

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!!

Hey hey! I’m Tara — your wedding-day hype girl, calm-in-the-chaos, and the one behind the lens. I’m so glad you’re here. Photographing love stories is truly the joy of my life. I’ve been doing this for over a decade (wild!), and I still get butterflies every time I show up to witness two people say yes to forever. What I care about most is making you feel at ease. The real kind — where you’re belly-laughing, teary-eyed, and fully in the moment with your person. That’s where the magic lives. My role is to help you drop in, relax, and let it unfold naturally.

If I have the option to work with Tara, that is who I will hire to second for me, without a doubt. I have literally flown her to locations where I didn't "have" to because she really is so lovely to work with. I know I don't need to manage Tara at all, she know how to get the photographs that the clients are dreaming of without being intrusive or overhearing. She is professional, and kind, and so fun to be around. I wish 2020 weddings were happening just so we could shoot together, dang it Corona.

I have been a photographer for 10+ years and a videographer for 5+ years. I started with shooting landscapes to portraits and have expanded to wedding photography + videography 3 years ago and it was the most. fulfilling. decision ever!!

Cristina was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! From start to finish she was hands on, very communicative and just a doll to work with. I was going back and forth on whether or not I could afford video for my wedding day. I went back and forth and finally did all the research and found Cristina since she was in my budget. It was weeks leading up to my wedding and I kept changing the length of time I would need Cristina and she was so very professional and sweet and very patient with me. Fast forward to the wedding day and Cristina was just as sweet in person and I was super excited that I decided yes on video. The night after my wedding I had my sneak peak already in my inbox…talk about FAST. Then two months went by and we had THE BEST video full of the best moments from our wedding day. People who didn’t attend the wedding that watched the video felt as if they were there. I can’t thank Cristina enough for capturing the best day of my life.
