Indigo West 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves National City, CA

I took up photography at the ripe age of 11 with a Polaroid I borrowed from an aunt. It quickly became my sketchbook as I worked to capture stills of the world and people around me. Those images have continued to pay emotional dividends throughout my life, helping me better understand what I have now come to see through a new scope. They are grounding, melancholic, funny and beautiful. Some of my most cherished possessions.

If you are looking for a photographer in San Diego, look no further than Daniel. We first worked with him for our engagement photos and knew immediately we had to book him for our wedding. Daniel is incredibly friendly and professional, but what we loved most was his eye for candid moments. He captured the true essence of our day and all the little things that made it special. We are completely in love with our photos! One of the highlights was his film photography option—the care package he sent with the negatives, prints, and a handwritten card was such a beautiful, personal touch. It’s clear he truly cares about his clients. Working with him was an amazing experience from start to finish, and being able to book our videographer through him made the entire process seamless. If you are in the Southern California area, you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much, Daniel, for giving us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Hi! My name is Madison, but you can call me Maddi. Raised in Maryland, I've lived in Colorado, South Dakota, and Germany. I now live in San Diego with my husband and our two dogs. I've always had a love for photography and I feel privileged to bring my passion to life. I want my photos to capture the genuine feeling of the moment and to reflect you and your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Madison's not just someone with a camera and capability, she's a photographer with a natural good eye as well. We appreciated her clean subject alignments/angles and more true-to-color editing and were very impressed by the pictures we got back from reception, where we had pretty complex indoor lighting: A whole wall of windows behind us most of the time and then dark brown ballroom lighting into the evening (@Loews Hotel). Not to mention, we asked her to minimize using flash as a personal preference and she was so receptive and remembering of that too. Communicating with her was like talking to a friend. She was responsive, engaged, and inclusive. Could go on and on, but her images speak for themselves because she is consistent both in her photography style as well as personality!

I didn’t expect to cry so much when I first saw the photos and video. It’s just pictures, right? But no, it’s more than that it’s like holding on to a piece of the day forever. They captured my husband’s face the moment he saw me walking down the aisle, and it still makes me melt. They also got the laughter, the silly dances, even the kids running around, all of it. The video plays like a highlight reel of the best day of our lives, but it feels genuine, not staged. My family has watched it over and over, and it never gets old. I feel like they put so much care into making sure we didn’t just get photos, we got memories we’ll never lose. I’ll cherish this forever.

I love all things weddings because witnessing couples' happiness brings me joy and fuels my creativity. I want to create photographs that can stand the test of time so couples can relive their day years from now and for generations to come.

We hired Khoa for our wedding pictures and could not be more pleased! We reached out for a custom quote given the amount of hours requested. He quickly responded and set up a zoom meeting to understand more about our expectations of the day and a general timeline. We were worried about rain, which luckily didn’t happen, and Khoa was able to offer his expertise advice in the event it did. The day of the wedding, he was very friendly, had a true creative eye for detail, and was very professional. He delivered far more photos than we expected and within 2 short weeks. We were so excited to share with everyone and everyone was very impressed with the photos. We definitely recommend Khoa!

I was raised in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California. I was drawn to photography in middle school and would enter photos of our family pets or family backpacking trips in our local county fair. My passion for photography grew while working as a hiking guide in Yosemite National Park. I mean… who wouldn’t want a stunning photo of Half Dome? El Capitan? Yosemite Falls? But it has been photographing wedding and couples that I find the most fun and rewarding. I have found loving hearts, wild souls, and adventurous spirits to be my people. I strive to visually capture the “spirit” of my subjects and record an emotional memory of the occasion.

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Linda for our elopement, and she exceeded all expectations in every way possible. From the moment we booked her, the process was incredibly easy and user-friendly. The booking system was straightforward, and I immediately felt confident in our choice. Her communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. She was in constant touch with us, especially when it came to the venue. Not only did she provide guidance and suggestions, but she also took the initiative to visit the site earlier in the week to scout locations with the best lighting and backdrops. Her attention to detail made the day go smoothly. Our elopement took an unexpected turn when it ended up being filmed for the news, causing us to go overtime. Despite the extended hours, Linda stayed well past her scheduled time and even took stunning photos of our interviews. Her dedication to capturing every moment, even the unplanned ones, was above and beyond. With her extensive experience with elopements, particularly at the San Diego courthouse, she had a deep understanding of the best timing and locations for photos, which made everything flow effortlessly. Her knowledge truly helped us maximize our time and get the most out of our special day. On top of her professionalism and expertise, she was a delight to work with. She brought a warm and calm energy to the day, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Her price point was also very reasonable for the level of service she provided. Without a doubt, I would book her again for any future events and highly recommend her to all my friends. If you're looking for a skilled, dedicated, and genuinely wonderful photographer for your elopement, Jalea Photography is the one!

Brittany was amazing to work with from our very first interaction until receiving our full album; even afterwords she continued to help us by answering questions about which types of print to order for our home. We were really drawn to her candid style of photography and outgoing personality. From the first email she was genuine and personable, making us feel extremely comfortable and excited for the process. Brittany spent a great deal of time getting to know us and what we were really looking for from our wedding photos. When the day came, we both felt relaxed and ready to have fun. It felt like we had a close friend taking our photos and not some random person. I would highly recommend working with Brittany, we look forward to continuing to work with her for future family photos!

Hello there. Holy moly, I've been photographing all the pretty things, places and people for 12 years! I am a proud Mama to 3 kiddos, so I get the chaos that comes with love, life and the little ones. I love to dive right in and figure out what story I've been invited to tell. Who are you? I want to know your why. Why do you want your pictures taken and why me. Together we'll create your wardrobe with intention and choose a location that speaks to you. I always encourage connection, music, kisses and your best dance moves.

Where to begin?! Kristen was SUCH a trooper and beyond amazing at our Wedding on a ranch in Ramona. We battled wild weather and even had hail momentarily but Kristen helped us make the most of the weather and our umbrella shots are actually some of my favorite. We have had her do family photos since then, and love her!

Hey there! Welcome! My name is Taylor- I am so glad you’re here! I am a documentary photographer based in the West Coast. I LIVE for capturing your love! You and your love story are anything but typical, and I strive to document that in the most candid and authentic way. My style is candid, documentary with a sprinkle of editorial. I want you to be YOURSELVES so I can help tell your true story. You've got incredible style, an amazing personality, and captivating energy that's impossible to ignore. So why should you settle for photos that don't reflect that? You deserve photos that celebrate your most alive and authentic selves!

Freshly landed from Paris, France. Christophe has been a travel photographer for the past ten years and decided to expand his creative horizons toward white dresses and bow ties here in California. His European touch will definitely bring something special to your wedding day.

I worked with Heather and her team for the day of wedding planning and Christophe was our photographer for the day. They were both amazing. They are detail oriented, professional, and kept us on schedule throughout the day. Despite having a more “difficult” wedding venue (military base), they made everything as easy as it could be with all of our vendors. Christophe went above and beyond to get beautiful photos that we will be able to look back on for the rest of our lives and remember our special day. He also took care to get some very sentimental photos with my father’s military uniform. You won’t regret hiring them, but you’ll definitely be missing out if you don’t.
