Katie Clare Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,875
  • Serves Spring Valley, CA

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.

Working with Katie for our wedding was an absolute dream!! Her communication was perfect, efficient, clear, and professional from start to finish. The quality of their work was truly magical, dreamy, out of this world, and amazing. I never felt like she didn't know exactly what she was doing. I would recommend Katie to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer who will capture the beauty and joy of their special day!!

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.

Emily was truly a dream to work with during our engagement session. From brainstorming photo locations to fit with the theme of our wedding, to outfit inspiration, to timing to utilize the best lighting... she was on top of it all. We were blown away by the quality of our photos, both on film and digital. We had such variety of photos to choose from (settings, poses, lighting, angles) etc. One of our biggest insecurities was looking comfortable in front of the camera and not too "posed". Emily was wonderful a guiding us behind the camera and giving us prompts to make the photos feel natural and genuine. I cannot recommend her enough! Plus, we wanted to incorporate our new puppy into the photoshoot and Emily gave us all the tips and guidance to make sure that went smoothly! The extra photos with the pup are just perfect!

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.

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’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 recently had the pleasure of working with Irina and Carlsbad Photo for our wedding photography, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Irina was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. She took the time to understand our vision for the day and helped us create a timeline that would ensure we captured all the important moments. On the day of the wedding, Irina arrived early and was ready to go. She worked quickly and efficiently to capture all the details, from the getting ready process to the ceremony and reception. She even managed to get some great shots of our first dance and all the dancing that followed, which we absolutely love. When we received our photos back, we were blown away. They are absolutely stunning and perfectly capture the joy and love of our special day. We especially love the candid shots that capture all the emotions of the day. We would highly recommend Irina and Carlsbad Photo to anyone looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer. She is truly amazing at what she does, and we are so grateful that she was a part of our special day.

Brittany spent a great deal of time getting to know us and what we were really looking for from our wedding photos. When the day came, we both felt relaxed and ready to have fun.

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.

Despite COVID making us change plans constantly, YC photography with Yrsina made it less stressful to plan and a no brainer to use her for our special day. She will fight for that perfect shot, telling random people strolling by to step to the side or get out the shot while still being professional. She is a joy to work with and will make sure to capture your memories to look back on for years to come.

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.

I’m a passionate 35mm film photographer with a love for the slower, more intentional process that film brings. My work blends documentary storytelling with portrait, editorial, and creative styles, capturing both candid moments and artful details. Inspired by vintage nostalgia and the beauty of modern life, I aim to create wedding photographs that feel timeless, personal, and true to your story.

Delaney was the perfect choice for our engagement photos! From the very first interaction, she was communicative, prompt, and professional. Her warm demeanor immediately put us at ease during the shoot. Delaney's work has a raw, nostalgic, and romantic quality that truly captured the airy, dreamlike feel we were going for! If you are fearful of stale stock photo-like engagement photos like I was, then Delaney is your girl. She delivered artistic stills worthy of vogue! She’s a true visionary, she did all the planning and expertly guided us on poses and locations. And to top it off, she delivered the gorgeous film photos to us incredibly quickly. We are overjoyed with the results and would highly recommend Delaney to any couple looking for wedding photography that is both timeless and real.

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!!!!!!!!!!
