This was the first time we had family photos taken so I was a little uneasy but John made the entire experience smooth. He was quick to communicate, friendly and flexible on location (did the photos at a small park by our house). John is also incredibly patient, which is much needed with our toddler and dog. Without hesitation, I highly recommend John and plan to use him again for our future family photos.

Look no further you have found the photographer your wedding needs!!!…read moreWe booked Ian after extensive research and looking at many photographers based on quality alone because at the end of the day you only get married once and he definitely didn't disappoint. Just like the pictures in his gallery ours came out amazing as well. So many compliments by family and friends. I just can't say enough. He will also help you during the day with tips here and there and make the day a lot easier. The delivery of the pictures is extremely fast within 3 weeks we received our pictures threw a link that downloads them to your computer quick and easy to use.

Ian is hands down the best wedding photographer in San Diego!…read more First off, he is great at responding to calls, emails, and texts. So many vendors I have encountered don't even return your messages! He is so easy to work with and makes the whole shoot so much fun. After interviewing a few photographers and also attending the bridal expo, we decided to hire Ian for both our engagement and wedding photos. We took pictures at Balboa park and Coronado. Ian is patient and was also good at directing us into poses which looked amazing and so natural. We used the engagement for our save the date magnet, and have gotten so many compliments on them. As for the wedding day, which is super stressful it was so great to have Ian around. He is not only a great photographer, but he is also great at keeping things on track and making sure you are in the perfect pose and lighting. I worked for months on all the details...Favors, signs, custom crafts...Ian made sure to get pics of all of them! Our venue which is a golf course in Rancho Santa Fe is so impressed with how the pictures turned out they even asked if they can feature them on their website... That is the ultimate validation that our pictures are amazing! I would highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for the best wedding photography.

We were blown away by how professional Sydney was and how comfortable she made us feel. She was very accommodating to us, and included our dog in many of the photos.

There were so many great options to choose from for our Christmas card. We will definitely be using Sydney again in the future for all our photography needs!

Three grandkids under 3 were no problem for her (despite some tantrums and tears) and she always came up with great ideas for how to get great shots both at the house and outside. I love her documentary style for more candid images, but she also got plenty of more traditional portraits. She has a great energy and has been super quick to respond to emails. We did the photos as a birthday gift for my mom's 70th and she was thrilled at the results. Highly recommended, and hope we get to work with her again.

As my husband and I were going through the photos, we were astonished at how he got some of those shots! We had not noticed him running around but somehow he got every shot we wanted and better yet- some we would never have thought to get!! His talents as a photographer are limitless and the joy of working with him is invaluable. The entire essence of the day was captured beautifully, from the romantic details, to the dancing, to the special hugs and kisses. We wouldn't change a thing! David Manning is the real deal. Professional, talented, flexible, and a genuinely great human being that brings out the best in other people allowing his subjects to relax and producing the truest shots.

My experience before, during and after the all-day shoot was so smooth and so fun.The photos are EXACTLY what I envisioned and are perfect for my business needs. Whether you are looking for a photographer for your business or a personal shoot - Love Captured is the right choice!

Love Captured has recorded all our first memories as a family...our engagement, our wedding, our…read morepregnancy & newborn photos were all taken by Aprill. Aprill is creative & can also elevate your own ideas. An example of her creativeness; you're standing in a handful of trees in your beautiful neighborhood park & when you receive your photographs you are displayed in a flourishing forest. She reminds you of details you've either forgotten of or simply never thought of. She makes you pose awkward so your photos show your best angles. (I love it & use her tricks when taking pictures.) Her results are breathtaking! On top of beautiful photographs, she is kind, reassuring & a delight to work with. She is always my recommendation when someone is looking for a photographer.

When the Beach Village Concierge at the Del referred us to Amy, and I looked at her portfolio. What…read morecaught my eye and initially impressed me was her unique use of natural light...I especially loved the photos she takes with the human reflections in the water. Our photo session was created to honor an incredible milestone - my Mom's 80th birthday. After my parents flew in from Dallas, we surprised her with an entire weekend of celebrations. Having these precious moments professionally captured was the perfect finale to our special time together. The photographs preserve not just images, but the joy and love we shared during this once-in-a-lifetime celebration, ensuring these cherished memories will live on for generations to come. When planning this family photo session, I had a vision for photos that would serve dual purposes - a Christmas card for our big family, but also a Christmas card for my Brother, Sis in Law and Luke and Rowan (my nephews). It was a "Gift to the entire family" as I saw it. I also envisioned my parents and family members turning the photos into a "statement piece" for our home (or my parents). The first thing that struck me with Amy was how easy it was to talk to her and how empathetic and personable she is. Additionally, Amy asks copious questions prior to the shoot...And these are VERY DETAILED questions. They ask things such as "What is your (childs) favorite color?" or "What gets them excited?" or "What are they into?" -- This all helps with the shoot and she comes prepared. Further, she asks questions about every family member. She asks every family member's name, relationship, "Gotchas", where they are from, etc. This shows and defines amy as showing genuine interest and empathy in her clients. It shows she cares. Implicitly. When she arrives, she calls everyone by name. She references familial relationships. She speaks with kindness. She is focused on keeping things moving and getting the best shot, but also very engaged in ensuring she connects with her audience. She makes sure everyone is being called by their name, that she captivates their attention, and is empathetic to someone in the group that might be having trouble. I highly recommend Amy for ANY shoot - she's a ROCKSTAR!!
