About

I have always loved taking photos. Landscapes and cityscapes, but most especially portraits in all forms. I love the individuality that comes out in an image; an expression will flash across a face and often the lens is the only way to grab it. To be able to capture the true personality of my subject, to meet new people, travel to far off places and have fun? This is why I do what I do! Weddings have been part of my life since 2002 when I signed on as an assistant for a well known photographer in South Florida. Over the years I've had the pleasure of working with talented photographers and have amazing clients in Florida, Georgia, Colorado, and New England and now San Diego... A few other things about me: - My first camera was a blue plastic Fisher Price when I was seven. - If I wasn't a photographer I'd be a marine biologist. You know, so I could ride around in a boat all day playing with whales and dolphins. - Molly's my 12-year-old puppy. She goes everywhere with me and has traveled to 38 states. (That's her kissing me below.) - Sometimes I add things that I've already completed to my "to do" list just so I can cross them off. - I've been all over the continental US, so if I could go anywhere I'd travel to Nepal, Australia, New Zealand (again), Africa (everywhere), Russia, Hawaii, Spain, and Ireland. (This is not an all-inclusive list.) - A major goal: to learn more than 10 words of Spanish. - And another one: learn to play piano.

Hi, I'm Avalon :) I've been interested in photography ever since my mom gifted me a polaroid camera as a child. Then I fell in love with film photography; developing photos in the dark room of my high school. I became captivated with measuring light. That passion lead to my graduation from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a Film and Digital Media degree. By being raised in a family of creative individuals, I've come to love how to think outside of the box. Also having a mother who has been a wedding planner since I was born has allowed me to fall in love with love, and how people express their unique love on their wedding day. I know every client's style is unique and I'm are here to capture original and authentic imagery. Photography and/or cinematography, to me, is the measurement of light and happiness in every environment and my goal is capturing that moment; allowing it to last on forever more through image and video. Let me help you create the imagery that leaves you and I smiling, and all others speechless.

I am the link that captures moments in time that will last forever in the mind's eye. I am the link between you and the camera that I hold in my hand. Knowing that I create lasting memories for happy brides, close families, loving couples, and playful children keeps my passion in what I do constant, free flowing, and creative in the moment. It truly feels good to love what I do. I won't stop. After spending years in the corporate world and never truely feeling content I found my passion and talent in photography. My first wedding came by chance in the summer of 2005 and it was then that I decided to put all my energy and time into learning the art and the craft of photography. It was an excellent decision. It feels good to wake up every morning and love what I do! I wish that everyone could find his or her passion and follow it with as much reward as I have. I continue to learn, I continue to grow, I continue to fuel my passion and I continue to capture real people, real emotions, and essential events.

San Diego Photographer

About

Background My name is Shaun Hagen, and I have lived in north San Diego County for most of my life. During the past two decades I have taken my camera with me wherever I could. I have traveled throughout Asia, Europe and the United States. To be out in the world, camera in hand; there's nothing better. For the past several years I have focused the camera more on people. I quickly went from photographing landscapes to photographing babies, couples and weddings. Having a passionate hobby grow into a full-time business has been a dream-come-true. Education I graduated from San Diego State University with a B.A. degree in Graphic Design. Over the past 20 years I have taken many photography classes ranging from black & white, color film, classic darkroom methods, and a variety of digital classes. Philosophy I try to approach photography in a very casual manner. I like to capture scenes as naturally as possible. I want to showcase the people, the environment, and the emotions of the occasion while interfering as little as possible. I believe in building relationships with my clients; especially for weddings. I don't like to just show up, shoot some photos and leave. I want everyone involved to be familiar and comfortable with each other, so together we can come up with the best experience and quality photos as possible.

About

I love seeing new places. I drink way too much coffee. If I could have dessert for every meal, everyday, I definitely would. If I shoot your wedding there is a 100% chance of tears, I just can't help it. I am in love with love and that's why I am obsessed with what I do. I love staying in on a Friday night just as much as a fun night out. I love my boyfriend Nathan, who is the most sarcastic person you will ever meet. I love my babies featured above; my puppy Bella and my cat Autumn. I love languages. I know Spanish, Sign Language and I am trying to learn Serbian! (That's where Nathan is from.) I love staying up late, finding cute coffee/icecream shops, ordering pizza and buying cute workout clothes even though I don't work out. I started taking piano classes a few months ago and I love it. I receive Amazon packages practically daily. When I got my first camera, I started out with obsessively taking photos of my pets (kinda still do) and from there I was hooked. I wanted to take pictures of everything, literally. But what I quickly learned, is what makes my heart the happiest, is capturing the moments that make others happy. My boyfriend and number one supporter of 7 years is the one who pushed me to leave my restaurant job of almost 8 years. He knew this is what I wanted and I am so, so grateful for his encouragement.

Hello! I am a Mexican-American who grew up in San Diego and loves nature and being on the go-go. On my free time, I enjoy rollerblading, pretending to be a professional musician and exploring new parts of the world. When I am not super high-energy and wanting to try everything (this includes food), I enjoy family time. My family is a huge part of who I am which is what makes it really easy for me to work with all different personalities and families. I am SO thankful to have the opportunity to work with so many different people and meet their families. By the end of a photo session or wedding day, I have become besties with a mom, auntie or sister. It's so easy to make these connections and friendships. I believe portrait photography is a form of art that highlights different personalities and relationships. My goal is to capture the moments you may have missed, brining to light the love for each other and spark joy! Storytelling is the heart to photography, and I wish to tell a story that you will cherish forever...

About

I bought my first DSLR the day before I earned my Bachelor’s degree in 2014, and I simply could not get over how much clicking was going on when I would take pictures: from the shutter and it feeling perfectly aligned with who I am and what I was made for. I decided to forgo pursuing a job in my field to learn anything and everything I could about photography, and two years later, I started shooting full-time. Choosing that career path has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I truly come alive when I get to make pictures. My ultimate goal with wedding and lifestyle photography is to make you feel incredibly at ease and excited in order to produce images that capture and reveal your genuine essence and emotion. I want the natural, real, authentic you to radiate through each and every collection of pixels, and I will go to great lengths to make sure you have an enjoyable time while doing so. When I’m not taking pictures of people, you can find me over at I’m the Blue Dot, a travel blog I started in 2017.

I am a San Diego lifestyle and wedding photographer specializing in capture beautiful natural light. You might be thinking what is lifestyle photography and, why is it so awesome? In my mind it’s completely natural, organic photography that captures the heart & soul of the subject being captured. Solely in the moment and completely authentic, I use it to create imagery with movement and depth. Life presents us with moments worth sharing and keeping all the time. Capturing couples, families, and individuals with a fresh and creative perspective to celebrate the joy, giggles, and even those silent moments in between. Timeless photography specifically created just for you. Beautiful, artistic, highly emotional and 100% genuine.

I love magic, adventure and telling stories. It would be an honor to help tell your fairy tale.

About

Experience: I have been photographing professionally for fourteen years and capture mainly weddings (with family shoots and fun events sprinkled in here and there)! I was also the Global Peace Foundation's main photographer at hundreds of national and international events at venues including the United Nations Headquarters, The World Bank and Capitol Hill. I have shot at over 45 wedding venues (with some favorite repeats) in the past two years since moving to San Diego! I am grateful for all of the amazing clients that have allowed this transition to the west coast to be so seamless. I work with each couple to create a wedding day schedule that is unique to their wants and how they want to enjoy their day. On the big day, I always suggest that couples put away their phones and let them know I got it. I want them to be in the moment and just enjoy, letting me make sure everything runs smoothly and gets captured. Style: My style is modern artistic and documentary, capturing weddings with a natural look that portrays the romance, excitement and joy of the big day. My favorite photos to take are fun and dreamy. For couple photos, I do a mix of formal and semi-candids, with a lot of guided action shots (walking, lifting, hugging, and more) so it’s really creating authentic experiences with genuine expressions that you can look back on and remember how amazing it was in that moment (not how microposed it was). My Life: Every chance I get, I go outdoor rock climbing, hiking and traveling. I love everything adventurous and fun, always trying to live life to the fullest. I bring that to my photography, striving to take photos full of life and showing the natural raw beauty in new and creative ways. I have an amazing life partner and best friend for 12 years, Ryman, and we take our tiny house truck all over the States exploring.

I have photographed weddings and couples throughout San Diego since 2004. I love to artistically blend print worthy imagery with an alert and attentive perspective of your vision to create something one-of-a-kind: your story that you can relive and enjoy through the years.

About

Amber was born in Nuremberg, Germany, to a military household. The family eventually settled in Las Vegas, where Amber attended a performing arts high school. The curriculum encouraged students to explore different artistic pursuits, and Amber found herself drawn to photography and the darkroom. One day, she claimed her dad’s old Canon AE1 as her own, and she never looked back.

Although she had creative eye, Amber knew that in order be at the top of the industry, she needed to strengthen her technical knowledge. So after high school, she made the decision to move to New York, where she attended the School of Visual Arts. Because she was a quick study, she was able to learn digital photography just as the technology was emerging, and became a pioneer in the field.

Amber excels at wedding photography because of her natural positive energy, which keeps her moving throughout the day. She has an easygoing personality, and is a calm and reassuring presence behind the camera. Her recent work has been featured throughout WeddingWire, and she enjoys writing and film in addition to photography.

Whether shooting a happy couple on their wedding day, professional head shot, photo booth, under water portrait, or a professional model, I approach every job the same way. I like shooting beautiful pictures, working with fun people, and creatively telling a story with my cameras. I think photos of loved ones are priceless… I consider myself an artist, but what makes my work special is the people in it. I’m just there to bring it out and capture it with my camera…. Photographing the most important days + most important people in my clients lives is something I consider super important, and a true honor… My approach combines the style of fashion photography, with the storytelling aspects of photojournalism. Along with the standard I have two main goals at every shoot: I want to create beautiful portraits that showcase your style and personality, and I want to capture candid pictures that tell the story of the event. My experience has taught me to make all photo shoots run quickly and smoothly, and that they should be fun for all involved! I want to you remember how much fun the photo shoot was, and it should never feel like a chore. Do you bring a backup camera? Of course! Every important piece of gear has a backup–and the backups have backups. I bring gear that will allow me to shoot in any weather or lighting environment! We even shoot our main camera with 2 cards so nothing will ever be lost or go missing. What Camera’s do you use? Right now, I’m shooting with Canon 5d III’ 6d, and top of the line L series prime lenses (good glass = great photos). I also love the 70-200 2.8 L, and that occasionally makes an appearance when I need the extra reach.

About

My biggest wish during my work is for the client to have a great experience. I strive to deliver an unforgettable moment that can be kept forever—both in pictures and in memory. I work closely with each client to ensure their experience is fantastic, and exceeds their expectations. Originally from Brazil, I come from a family of creative minds and beautiful souls. My father and grandfather are renowned photographers and architects; and my mother an avid art collector. As a child I would spend hours looking at their work, dreaming of being a photographer. When I was 15 years old my mother handed down my father’s cameras to me. With his Polaroid and 35mm Leicas, I was able to learn the fundamentals of photography and focus on acquiring technical knowledge before I took on the digital world. Even though most of my equipment today is digital, I still like to shoot 35mm and develop my own film. In 2002, I moved to San Diego to pursue my dream of being a professional photographer. Along with my vintage cameras, I brought a deep desire to create something different. After I started college, I developed a passion for sports and water photography. From spending hours practicing in the water to attending countless workshops at the renowned Brooks Institute, I worked diligently to gain knowledge and experience. Cultivating my own unique approach to surf photography, I found success in my passion; seeing my work published in some of the most iconic surf magazines in the world. While working in the photo department at a surf magazine, I stumbled into an opportunity to shoot wedding photography in San Diego. One of the people I worked with at the magazine was a wedding photographer, and he needed an assistant. I wanted to learn something new so I gave it a shot, and it was amazing! Photographing weddings felt so fluid and natural, and I enjoyed it so immensely, that I quickly started shooting them more and more. Working with seasoned industry professionals, I eagerly absorbed everything I could about becoming a Wedding photographer. I have been mastering the fundamentals, experimenting with techniques and refining my style since 2006

About

My story is a little different than those who grew up taking photos. I didn't have an interest in photography until I had kids. It's because of them that I felt inspired to pick up a camera. I wanted to document their daily lives in the form of pictures. Once I did, it opened up a whole new world for me. I joined photography clubs where I practiced shooting many genres such as landscape, portrait, street, and architectural photography. But it wasn't until a friend asked me to assist her that I fell in love with wedding photography. Here I am, 5 years later doing the best job in the world! If you had asked me years ago, I would've never believed that what started out as a hobby (or if I'm being perfectly honest an obsession), would soon grow into a passion and career and I have my kids to thank for it.

About

graduated from the University of La Verne in May of 2018 with my BA in Photography. While studying I was awarded the Performing Arts Scholarship in photography and gifted an Academic Grant in 2014. In 2016, I studied Business and International Communications, abroad in London, England at CIEE. I am trained in a variety of fields of photography. I started off working in the darkroom processing and developed 35mm black and white film, then moved onto street, documentary and landscape photo using both digital and 4X5 film. In my later years of photo I was trained in a studio setting and gained experience in styling products, photographing portraits and fashion, and overall understanding the science of light. When I graduated from La Verne I published my first fashion look book, RECLAIMED. RECLAIMED features a variety of styled shoots all while using second hand clothing. The shoots portray different eras based on the type of clothing and locations shot at. The purpose of the book was to shed light on how second hand clothing is making a come back while also showing how fashion trends are recycled as well as time goes on. A year later, I have been working and photographing in DownTown LA for an automotive PR and Marketing company called The ID Agency. Some clients and events I have shot for are Robert Downey Jr. and Joe Gatts’s Mustangs for Speedkore, The Hot Wheels Legend’s Tour, FORZA and Microsoft E3 Summit, RUSNAK’s private events, EIN and Global Green Pre Oscar party and the Hydrogen powered Toyota Mirai that was featured at the event, the Luftekuhlt Porsche Air Cooled Event by Patrick Long, and SEMA... to name a few. On top of automotive photography, I still do bookings for styled shoots, graduations, weddings, family photos, maternity, and birthdays. I am an overall trained photographer that loves to photograph whatever my clients need.

About

My passion for photography started early. By age 12 I could always be found running around with a Go Pro in hand, often working to capture action shots of my buddies surfing. As I evolved as a photographer, I became fascinated with lighting as a way to bring depth and emotion into my work. I continue to enjoy experimenting with both natural and artificial lighting, whether photographing landscapes or people. Recently, I have decided to pursue my dreams and make my passion for photography a full-time career. I am currently attending the University of Redlands pursuing a business degree and taking every opportunity to develop my skills as both a photographer and videographer. I love finding that perfect shot that freezes time and truly encapsulates the moment.

About

A dreamer, passionate photographer and mom of a wonderful 3 years old boy called Noah! I was born and raised in Brazil and I’ve been living in this amazing city of San Diego since 2013. I always say that my love story with photography started since I was a little girl because I always had a memory of my mom and her little camera registering everything she could. I got my first little camera on my 7th birthday and since then photography has become one of my favorite hobbies. It was actually during the photography classes at college that I really fell in love with photography and after that I got my first professional camera. I started taking photos of my friends but it was a professional photographer (friend of a friend) who made me realize that I had talent and my passion could become more than a hobby. After a decade in this field I feel that what makes my heart beat strong about my work is capturing what’s most simple, true and beautiful between human connections and also the gratifying feeling of seeing the reaction of my clients when they look at their photos and they are able to reconnect with that memorable moment of their lives.

I’ve been happily married for almost 25 years to my soulmate, best friend, and a partner in crime. I’m a boys’ mom, I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Maui is my happy place, and if I wasn’t in love with San Diego, I would move there! 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 over 6 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

About

Hello everyone! My name is Rob Gogatz and I am a photographer in Southern California. My journey in photography started while playing soccer at UC Berkeley. While at school I got my first camera and immediately fell in love with photography and the idea of trying to convey stories through the images I captured. This passion caused me to switch my major to Film so I could further develop my skill of capturing stories. I knew once I finished my soccer career, I wanted to become a photographer. Once I graduated, I chased professional soccer for a number of years. Soccer took me to amazing places all over the world and I would never trade that experience but I always knew photography would be the profession for me. I just finished my soccer career two years ago and have been chasing my dream of photographing ever since.

About

My name is Aaron Feldman and I am the CEO / Founder of True Photography Weddings. I started True Photography 18 years ago, after graduating from Brooks Institute of Photography. At first, I began photographing alone. I would shoot weddings, do the marketing to bring in more business, retouch the images, process the accounting, and build albums. Although my clients were happy, I found that I was spread too thin to accomplish everything effectively. I would start a retouch project and then leave immediately to photograph a wedding... Then I would come home and have an album to complete. I wanted to produce the highest level of happy for my clients as well as myself, and I realized that big changes needed to be made. Fast-forward 18 years, and many refinements, today, True Photography is made up of a very small, hand-picked team of talented individuals. Not a photo factory. We are people who love to photograph and are dedicated to creating amazing images for your wedding day. We share a common vision of what we feel good wedding photography should be. This has taken years to refine, and we continue to grow together as creative artists. With the technical expertise, and innovative mindset of our team, there are no limits to what we can produce.
