From the moment I saw Pauline's photos, I knew she had to be my photographer. Then once I spoke to her, I knew she was someone special. She is truly the kind of photographer I would recommend to every single bride without hesitation. If I could give one piece of advice to future brides, it would be to choose true professionals who are not only talented but also deeply experienced. That is exactly who Pauline and why she is the photographer every bride needs in her corner on wedding day. From the very start, Pauline made me feel so supported. She didn't just show up with a camera, she brought wisdom, calm, and the kind of guidance that is needed. She also connected me with two other incredible creatives, Carly from Black Shutter Media for videography and Bianca from BTS by Beee for content creation. Together, they were the DREAM TEAM working seamlessly to capture every angle of the most important day of my life. Pauline's shooting style is unlike anything I've ever seen before. She takes the time to understand your vision and then elevates it into something even more breathtaking. The photos she delivered bring me to tears every time I look at them. Guests still can't stop raving about how amazing our photographer was and I couldn't agree more. read more

During the wedding planning process, there was nothing more important to me than finding the right photographer. Photos are forever and it felt like a lot of pressure to find someone who we could trust to both capture our day authentically and in a style that felt like us, while also keeping us calm and comfortable in the process (I mean- you end up spending just as much time with your photographer as you do with your spouse!) We took careful time to research many different photographers and there is no doubt in my mind that we made the BEST choice by hiring Pauline. She exceeded all expectations and was truly such a special part of our day. From our initial conversation, I was immediately drawn to Pauline's kind, gentle spirit. We also fell in love with Pauline's timeless photography style. Her photos look real (not overly filtered as so many often do). She captures moments in such a beautiful, classic, and authentic way. We knew that the photos she took would never go out of style and would perfectly capture this moment in time for us. Pauline photographed both our engagement photos and our wedding. She was highly communicative and organized throughout the entire process. She worked hand in hand with our coordinator and other vendors to ensure a smooth day. She was one of the first vendors we booked. As we booked other vendors and told them we were working with Pauline, they immediately sung her praises and were excited to get to work with her again, too! There were a lot of photos I wanted captured and she built out a clear and organized timeline that we were able to share with everyone who needed to be photographed. The day ran so smoothly that we were actually ahead of schedule! Your wedding day can be filled with little butterflies, but Pauline just has such a naturally calming presence. She helped us all feel at ease and so comfortable. What I also really appreciated was that she allowed my husband and I the space to soak in the tiny in between moments and enjoy every bit of the day together. When we got our sneak peek photos back from her, we were floored! They are SO GOOD. We could not be more grateful to have gotten to work with Pauline. read more

Pauline captured our wedding and we cannot recommend her enough. Pauline was professional, organized, and delivered an incredible amount of priceless images. She even edited some shots for us a year later (!) when we realized we wanted some of our key favorites in black and white. She really goes above and beyond for her couples and is a true, trusted professional. Thank you so much Pauline! - Kayla and Mitchell read more

Finding a photographer that fits your ideal photo style is of top importance when booking wedding vendors. Pauline was one of the first vendors we booked more than 15 months prior to our wedding! We recently got our full wedding gallery back and she truly made all my wedding photo dreams come true! Our gallery is filled will the perfect mix of light, bright, airy, dreamy, fun, candid, intimate, and stunning photos from our wedding day. I am SO happy with them. It is hard to pick a favorite because they're all so fantastic! Pauline was great to work with from day 1. She is super quick to respond to emails and even IG DMs, which I was very appreciative of. We did our Engagement shoot with her 10-months before our wedding, which provided a good teaser to the quality of her photos and ease of working with. Taking couple photos definitely isn't the most comfortable thing at first, but Pauline made us feel at ease and was able to instruct us in a way that still produced natural candids that captured pure joy. This shoot helped us feel prepared and comfortable for our wedding day portraits. You cannot go wrong with booking Pauline. She is extremely organized and flexible. I sent her multiple 'inspiration' photos and she delivered on all of them. Thank you, Pauline! read more

Couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Pauline is incredibly professional, organized, and talented. She was a delight to work with, and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went as smoothly as possible - she even helped us with a last minute issue with a different vendor. Above everything, she captured moments from our wedding with such beauty, composition and style. She captured the essence of the day and we will cherish these photos forever! read more

FIVE STARS ALL AROUND - Pauline is an AMAZING photographer and person! We are SO happy and grateful to have had her do our engagement and wedding photos - there is no better choice!!! From the start she made the whole process easy, was so professional, kind, communicative, and organized. She was all on board for our fun engagement shoot ideas, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and had all the details covered/thought of (like checking the tide/sunset to coordinate timing of our shoot, giving us tips on colors to wear based on location + more) - she is ON it and truly a natural at what she does! We also had many photo requests with family/friends for our wedding which she accommodated with ease; even getting our adored dog into some photos at both events. She created an amazing timeline for our wedding day so we could enjoy the moment and relax knowing our special day was being captured into treasured memories. We are truly happy we hired Pauline - she was the BEST choice and we could not recommend her more for any occasion!! We LOVE our photos and will cherish them forever. Thank you so much, Pauline!! read more

Pauline's value far surpasses her cost when you hire her as your photographer. She is so gentle and kind with an amazing eye for lighting and composition. We were immediately made comfortable after meeting her for our complimentary engagement shoot. She spent so much time preparing for our wedding day assuring she had all the right people, equipment and timing which made the day so smooth. Pauline and her team captured every single one of my inspiration shots I wanted and I have more amazing photos than I could have dreamed. I receive endless compliments on my wedding photos all thanks to Pauline! If you want timeless photos that you can cherish for a lifetime, look no further. read more

I have so much to say about Pauline, but the bottom line is hiring her was hands-down one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning! She is communicative, flexible, fun to be around, and takes STUNNING photos! We're not the type of couple that's used to being the center of attention, so it was awesome to have someone who could tell us how to pose and what to do. She always finds the best backdrops and lighting and really has an eye for detail. Plus, when our coordinator was nowhere to be found, she basically ran the entire show at our wedding and kept everything on time. Not sure what we would have done without her! Thank you so much for everything, Pauline! read more

We had our family photos taken with Pauline and couldn't love them more! We have a 2 year old daughter and a 8 month old and so as you can imagine, we're not the easiest group to photograph. Pauline did such a great job at keeping my daughter engaged and getting smiles from her (which is very rare whenever a camera is out). As both a photographer myself and as a client, I am blown away by the variety of shots we got back from just a 20 minute mini session. These will be family heirlooms. Thank you so much, Pauline! read more

Pauline exceeded all of our expectations and was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. I felt so comfortable during our initial call and her work speaks for itself (it's AMAZING) so we booked before taking our engagement pictures. My husband and I are self-described "non-photo people" but Pauline made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot. She was so gracious with us postponing our 2020 date too. Fast forward to 2021 and we feel just as lucky to have had Pauline in our corner in the weeks leading up to our wedding day. She was so helpful in finalizing our timeline, including squeezing in some sunset pictures in a sentimental spot a few blocks for our venue. She got all the photos we requested and was very efficient - we feel like we hardly spent any time taking photos, an important detail to us to we could spend as much time as we could with our guests. I could go on and on and in our winding road of an engagement, I would hire Pauline again and again without hesitation. My shy husband continues to rave about Pauline. She is as genuine as she is talented and we're so thankful she was our wedding photographer. Thank you so again, Pauline!! read more

Pauline was referred by our venue (Paradise Falls). We loved the feel and the look of her photography and knew we wanted her as our wedding photographer. She has several different packages to pick from. We went with the engagement and wedding package. Pauline was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to our emails. She was very organized as well and had a detailed photography timeline for the day of the wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. We received our wedding photos about 2 months after our wedding and couldn't have been more pleased with how they turned out. She is super sweet and knows what she is doing. I highly recommend her, especially if you are getting married at Paradise Falls. read more

We were so incredibly lucky to find Pauline. When we had to push our larger reception to 2021, we were looking for a photographer who could bring our micro-wedding with 10 guests to life at the last minute. Luckily Pauline was available. She was so warm and friendly from the first conversation that I knew we would get along. I told her I loved details, and she really delivered with capturing the best photos of all of our tiny details along with soft lighting. She was incredibly organized and had a detailed timeline for photography and was able to remember all of our guests names and line us up to get all of the photos on my list. Our whole family commented on what an amazing job she did and she delivered beautiful photos from our microwedding only a month after. Thank you, Pauline for everything! read more

Amazing! Sooo incredibly talented! We are beyond thrilled with Pauline's work and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I recommend her to anyone who need a photographer, whether it be for a wedding, maternity or just family portraits. You surely will not be disappointed! read more

We booked Pauline as soon as we secured our date and venue! After our first initial conversation, my fiance and I were so excited to hire her! Our engagement shoot with Pauline in Coronado was amazing! Pauline helped keep us calm and organized as we dealt with uncharacteristic rainy SD weather. She made my fiance and I feel so comfortable the whole time during our shoot and the photos were more amazing that we could've even imagined! WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE our engagement photos so much! Pauline is not only amazingly talented, she is supportive and kind beyond words. As our May 30th, 2020 wedding gets closer and the COVID-19 situation begins to push us into potentially rescheduling, Pauline has been such an amazing support system. We are truly so thankful for her and cannot wait to have her document our wedding day whenever that might be! Thank you so much Pauline! read more

Pauline was a dream to have as a wedding photographer! Throughout the planning process, she was always communicative and made us feel reassured we were making the right decisions. She even helped us pick our groomsmen ties and my veil & shoes! She worked with us early on to plan the photography timeline so I wasn't as stressed and then ensured the whole day went smoothly off of that timeline. She was sweet and upbeat all while keeping everyone on track. We received our sneak peek photos and we absolutely LOVE them. Her style is so timeless. We are truly looking forward to seeing our full gallery and printing the photos to have forever! Could not recommend Pauline more. read more

Pauline is so fun to work with! My (now) husband and I reached out to her to have our engagement photos taken and those were absolutely beautiful! Pauline just shot our wedding photos on 3/21/19 and she really made sure to capture all of the special moments. I am very camera shy but she really knew what to do to get me out of my shell and showed us how to pose for certain photos. Pauline is very responsive when it comes to booking and very organized. Before the wedding she coordinated with the venue and came up with a specific timeline of our photos before and during the wedding. We have only see one teaser photo of our wedding so far and we are beyond excited to see the rest! Book her! You won't regret it! read more

I can't recommend Pauline enough! Pauline did both our engagement and wedding photos, and each turned out better than we ever could have imagined. Pauline is so sweet and such a pleasure to work with, and knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. While wedding planning during a pandemic proved to be quite stressful, we always knew we could count on Pauline. Our plans went from a 200+ person wedding, to a small 10 person micro wedding, and Pauline was incredibly kind, flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. Pauline captured our wedding day so beautifully, and we are beyond grateful for her. We'll be hiring Pauline for all of life's events in the future!

I love her style and the romantic feel to all of her photos. What sealed the deal was her professionalism, organization, sweet nature, and passion for her job. We were not disappointed. In fact, she went above and beyond for us and well exceeded our expectations! Our engagement shoot photos came out amazing and our wedding pictures brought us to tears. At our wedding, Pauline and her second shooter were so on top of things. They went through our list of requested pictures efficiently and captured so many beautiful candids. My husband and I both get uncomfortable in front of the camera, but she was great at directing us and making it all fun. I could not be any happier with choosing Pauline as our wedding photographer and would highly recommend her! Thank you for capturing our day so beautifully! read more

I met Pauline last year when my clients hired her for their wedding. Her pictures always come out beautiful and she is over the top amazing. Pauline provides a questionnaire for each couple to fill out asking very specific questions to ensure she gets every shot you imagine. She then takes my (the coordinators) timeline and creates her own to show the client what their day will look like with her. She even requests the names of every person you want photos with to ensure you will get those. She is all about details which is why I rave about her so much. Pauline is one of the best photographers out there. She is so detailed and sweet. Since meeting her last year nearly almost all my couples have tried to hire her. She is the best decision you will make for your wedding :) xoxo Sandy read more

Pauline was our photographer for our wedding and she did an wonderful job! Although we have not received all of the wedding photos yet, we did receive our engagement shoot photos and a few of wedding photos and she did a stellar job! She is extremely efficient and is happy to cater to your needs!

I hired Pauline for my wedding six days ago, and my experience with her was amazing. She was so professional, but made me feel so comfortable at the same time. My husband is very uncomfortable in front of the camera, but he had no problems with Pauline. She gives great direction, but also allows you to be yourselves. I have such a love for soft, romantic photographs and that is exactly what Pauline delivered for my wedding day. She is such a professional. It wasn't even just the photography that I was impressed about, her professionalism and knowledge were beyond belief. She made sure she knew exactly what she was walking into, and I felt like I could relax on my wedding day because she knew exactly where I had to do with who to be in what picture. All of my family are raving about what an amazing job she has done with the preview that she posted online. I am in love, and would use her for every occasion if I lived in San Diego. She was so so so perfect. I absolutely recommend her to anyone & everyone. I am so excited to see how they turned out! read more

Pauline's photography is stunning! We are so thankful we booked her after our planner (Korie of Bliss Events) recommended her. Her prices are extremely fair and the quality of her photos is just beautiful. Our wonderful experience with her started when we had our engagement session in October 2015. The session was so comfortable and Pauline did a great job helping us pose and not to feel nervous in front of the camera. We had planned to use some of the e-session photos for our save-the-dates and were not disappointed! It was hard to choose which photo to use! For our wedding day, we had Pauline and one assistant from the morning when we were getting ready, until we did our wedding exit at night. She captured all of the special moments throughout the day and we are so thankful to her for that. Our wedding was full of love, joy, and fun, and Pauline captured all of it! You will not go wrong choosing Pauline! We cannot wait to use her again in the future for more couple and family photos! read more

Pauline is so talented. She did my family portraits and we were all so pleased with the result. She chose a beautiful, scenic location with plenty of options for different backgrounds.

Pauline is very professional and timely, and will definitely be using her expertise and recommending her to friends and family again in the future. read more

Pauline was a dream to work with and I'm so happy we found her for our September 2017 wedding! Booking Pauline as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made. Pauline saw our vision and then took it to the next level. During our planning meeting, she was so patient with us and worked with us to create a timeline for our wedding day and helped organize which pictures we would take before the ceremony and which ones we'd take during the cocktail hour. She really helped pull the whole thing together and the timeline she created for us is what we sent to all of our other vendors which really made it a lot easier for us. She even contacted our videographer so they would be on the same page. On the day of our wedding, by the time we got to our venue, Pauline and her team were already hard at work and Pauline was so incredible at gathering our whole party and giving us direction. With all the stress of the day, it was really great to have Pauline there to keep us organized and on schedule. Pauline was so easy to work with, so kind and friendly, always answered my emails right away and most importantly, she did an amazing job! We received our sneak peek gallery and the pictures turned out incredible and we can't wait to see the rest of our album. Pauline and her team far exceeded all my expectations and I would absolutely recommend her to everyone! read more

Pauline is truly amazing at what she does. We had the pleasure of working with Pauline for both our engagement photos and our wedding day! We couldn't be happier with the quality of our photos and the enjoyable experience we had working with Pauline. Engagement Photos: We are not from San Diego, so Pauline helped scout out locations and gave me plenty of options for where to have our shoot. She was easily accessible and quick to respond throughout the whole planning process. Once we met up on the day of our shoot she was professional and easy to be around. She helped us past the awkward "we don't know what we are doing" stage, and really helped coach us into gorgeous shots. Pauline was honest and she wasn't afraid to re-position us if we defaulted to an unflattering angle - I LOVED THIS. You want a photographer with a detail oriented eye who knows how to create the best shots during portraits! Wedding Day: Professional, organized, and wonderfully talented! Pauline completely nailed it on our wedding day. Not only did we love our photos, but she was a joy to have around throughout the whole day. She brought along a second shooter who was equally wonderful and the two of them worked great together to capture all the shots that we requested. Pauline was flexible and easy-going throughout the whole planning process, she offered plenty of insight which ended up making the day run so smoothly. She stayed on time throughout the whole day and because of her organization my wedding was stress-free! Here is a beautiful blog post of our wedding that will give you an idea of her style: http://www.artfullywed.com/real-couples/weddings/la-jolla-waterfront-wedding/ read more

Pauline is an absolute dream to work with. Not only is her work amazing, but she is one of the most sweetest/kindest photographers we have ever worked with. We booked Pauline back in 2017 for our wedding in Fall of 2018. Pauline did our engagement photos as well as photographing our wedding. I cannot begin to express how great she is. She communicated with us over the entire 20 months of our engagement, made sure everything was extremely organized leading up to our big day, she even helped us with booking other vendors to make sure we had the best possible team for our day. Our wedding day was so amazing and Pauline really made sure that everything ran smoothly. She kept everyone on time, helped my Fiancé (now husband) to relax while taking photos, and really just made sure everything was perfect for us. There is not one photo I have seen of Paulines that isn't beautiful. Pauline is a game changer and we are beyond grateful to have had her capture our day! read more

Wonderful and Professional! Pauline was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was the photographer at my Christmas wedding in December 2015 and I'm so thankful that I hired her! From day one, she was organized and efficient. She would always email me back within an hour, which I loved! At our first meeting, she came full of energy and excited to hear my ideas and share her experience. She is so kind and professional! Pauline is also creative and artistic.

We continue to look through our pictures months later and are able to relive the happiest day of our lives. read more

Pauline was our wedding photographer and I can't even tell you how amazing she is! We are not exactly the couple that likes having photos taken and she made it simple and comfortable.

Pauline offers to give you full access to all your photos and will additionally create a beautiful album. Couldn't have asked for better. Love this talented lady! read more

I just used Pauline Conway for my maternity photos and I couldn't be happier with the results! We were new in town and didn't know who to use for a maternity photographer, and I feel soooooo lucky to have found Pauline! Pauline is a true artist, especially when it comes to perfecting the lighting, location, and the poses of the photos. The pictures of my daughter, husband and I on the beach are so natural and beautiful, and the way she captures the lighting is amazing! Pauline pays special attention to detail and is great at giving suggestions in regards to fixing your hair if it is flat or in your face, or alternating your smile or poses, of fixing your wardrobe if something doesn't look right in the picture... something I definitely appreciate and was lacking with past photographers that I have used. Not only is Pauline extremely talented, she is professional and a pleasure to work with. I plan on using Pauline for any future family photo needs. read more
