The 12 Best Wedding Photographers in San Diego

Shaun Baker’s first dream was film, but somehow he just fell in love with photographing weddings. The quality of his photos is stunning, especially when you consider his price point. Take a look at his Instagram and you’ll see elegant compositions side by side with daring, adventurous shots on the tops of mountains.

Shaun will help you remember your dream wedding forever using the most memorable style imaginable.

Ian Andrew, like many on this list, is a perfectionist. He’s shot hundreds of weddings, but every time he picks up the camera, he’s still looking for that perfect shot. His photos are organic, clean, and feature plenty of rich colors. Ian leans into shadows with his photos in a way many other wedding photographers don’t, and it adds something special and mysterious. He also offers a variety of photo packages that should fit into most price points.

We also love all the rave reviews we came across on Ian’s site! Here is one particularly helpful and informative testimonial to ponder. “[Ian] is very organized which is a HUGE plus on your wedding day. He is quick to respond to emails and is extremely professional. We had multiple over-the-phone meetings where he walked us through a step-by-step wedding itinerary and addressed any questions or concerns we had. Not only did he capture everything we had requested, he worked hard to capture all the little moments and details that we weren’t able to notice throughout the busy day.”

Cavin Elizabeth’s wedding photography shows remarkable attention to the delicateness of detail. When you see her photographs, it is not at all surprising to discover she’s interested in and inspired by architecture and ballet. This comes through as clear as day in the way she uses space and texture in her photographs. We also see it in the way she captures the beauty of the human form, both in movement and at rest.

And like the others on the list, she does an amazing job of catching the simple, joyous things — like two people in love sharing a happy secret smile. It’s what makes her one of the best wedding photographers in San Diego.

Anza Foto + Film’s wedding photographs do an incredible job of capturing the rich and dense connections between everyone in attendance. They tell the story of how much love must first go into two people’s marriage — not just the bride and groom, but their whole tribe.

They are especially adept at photographing and filming Indian weddings, which are especially colorful and intricate. Anza makes you feel like you’re right there with them, celebrating with the elated bride and groom.

Derren Raser is the “primary storyteller at The Rasers.” Since the company formed in 2010, Derren’s been recognized as one of the most talented wedding photographers in San Diego.

Francis Ralph of Francis Ralph Potograpiya has been recognized by The Knot as being one of the best wedding photography studios in San Diego every year since 2011.
