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.

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.

As a friendly face behind the scenes, Kristen is one of our go-to for all things client care! She’s been part of the True Photography family long before she officially joined the team—starting as a bride herself over 20 years ago. In fact, her own wedding was photographed by True, and she’s been singing our praises ever since! Kristen and Aaron the founder have been friends since high school, so when the opportunity came up to bring her warmth and attention to detail into the studio, it was a perfect fit. Now, she’s a total wizard when it comes to the ins and outs of our process and packages, and she loves helping couples feel confident, informed, and excited every step of the way.

About

I’m Aaron Feldman, the Chief Visionary Officer and founder of True Photography. My journey in photography began after graduating from Brooks Institute of Photography, when I launched True Photography in 2000. In the early days, I wore many hats—photographing weddings, handling marketing, retouching images, managing accounting, and designing albums. While my clients were happy, I quickly realized that in order to provide the highest level of service and creativity, I couldn’t do it all alone. Fast-forward to today, after years of refining and evolving, True Photography is now a small, hand-picked team of highly talented individuals. We are not a photo factory—we are passionate artists dedicated to capturing incredible, timeless imagery. We share a unified vision of what exceptional wedding photography should be, a philosophy that has taken years to perfect. As we continue to grow together as creative professionals, our technical expertise and innovative mindset allow us to push boundaries and create truly stunning imagery for every couple we work with.
