Bedrosian Photo

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Escondido, CA

I specialize in capturing wedding days as they truly unfold — honest, beautiful, and full of real moments. My style is documentary with a touch of fine art: minimal posing, natural light, and an emphasis on emotion and connection. You won’t find stiff, overly staged shots here. Instead, I focus on the laughter between vows, the teary hugs, the chaos and joy that make the day yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Peter from Bedrosian Photo was not just our wedding photographer, but a true coordinator who ensured our entire day was captured seamlessly. He constantly communicated with our wedding planner, DJ, and video crew to make sure nothing was missed. As a couple who typically dislikes taking photos, Peter made the process fun and natural for us. He stepped in when needed but also gave us space to enjoy our day. Peter truly felt like a friend taking photos, not just another vendor. We are thrilled with the quality of Bedrosian Photo's work and the incredible value they provided for our special day.

Eduardo was very nice to work with since the beginning. He is very kind and professional and just does a great job without adding any stress. He provided some portfolios of previous work he had done, which were very photo journalistic, not just the posed shots, and we knew he was the one! He definitely has an eye for placement, reflections, and catching people’s authenticity. He spent the whole wedding day with us, from getting ready all the way till the sparkler exit. I never even saw him take a break. He even ran with us to get some sunset photos at a nearby vineyard while guests were having dinner. He even got some good shots of everyone on the dance floor without being too in your face, I didn’t even notice he was there! We got all of the photos we wanted and more. Eduardo definitely doesn’t treat his clients as a number, he understands the importance of the day and ensures that he captures it in a way that tells the story of the day. Highly recommend Eduardo for your photography needs!

Ross Photography is a wedding photography business operating out of Escondido, California.

I try to put passionate and creativity into every project that I take on, I strive to craft stress-free photography experiences and images that reflect each couple’s one-of-a-kind romantic bond.

As two introverts getting married, we needed a photographer that would make us feel at ease, forget we even had staff on our day of, but also had a good hand in dealing with guests who liked to get involved in the vendors' craft. Naiya's skillful and gorgeous photos speak for themselves. We really loved working with her not only for our engagement photo session, but also the day of!!! Due to some unforseen emergency family matters, our photos were a bit late. We wish she would have given a bit more proactive communication regarding this. However, the final product was worth the wait!

Miranda and Trevor are the ultimate wedding dream team, and they make you feel like one of their friends! We booked them for an engagement shoot and our wedding, which I highly recommend doing to help get you and your fiance comfortable with them and in front of the camera. At the engagement shoot, my fiance and I were a little nervous as we'd never done professional photos before, but Miranda and Trevor made us feel so at ease, and the photos look absolutely phenomenal. Miranda was also a huge help with developing my timeline -- I had a number of requests and was stressed about how quick the day would go especially with an early sunset time, but she helped me manage the schedule beautifully so on the day, we actually ended up having a little bit of extra time and never felt rushed! The whole wedding day was totally relaxed, and she and Trevor captured the BEST shots.

PHOTOGRAPHER/DRONE PILOT - Katie Doner - Drawn to the arts since I was young, my passion continued into college, where I studied for my BA in Fine Arts. My love of photography found me unexpectedly in high school. I fell in love with every aspect of it. You can find me traveling the world, surfing or photographing beauty & love wherever I find it. PHOTOGRAPHER-Joey Licata  As a child, I dabbled with my mom’s film camera, and my interest in the craft never waned. Following years of graduate work, I taught myself photography. My camera grants me freedom and joy. Behind its lens, I observe and find beauty in the unscripted, capturing raw emotion

I have nothing but great things to say! Katie was both personable and professional with both of our family photo shoots! She really went the extra mile by scouting out gorgeous places to take photos and having us meet her at the best time of day for lighting. My son was only 2, and she had so many great tricks up her sleeve to make him smile! She also had the perfect mix of a calm demeanor and an excited tone that made my son enjoy the experience! She got the photos back to us in such a timely fashion and her website was really easy to navigate. I get SO many compliments on the photos and they are my favorite ones that my family has ever taken! Thank you Katie!!

I’ve been happily married for almost 27 years. I have three awesome sons. My parakeets Kiwi and Sparky are very social, meaning very loud! Champagne (maybe that’s why I love weddings) and sushi lover here! Photography has been my passion ever since my dad gave me my first film camera and introduced me to the dark room at age of 10. I lived in Japan for 12 years, and even performed on a stage there. I’m always up for a great road trip! I love tuna fishing. I love hats and want to wear them everyday (over 20 hats in my collection). I’ve been shooting beautiful weddings for almost 10 years. I secretly cry at every wedding.

We used Carlsbad Photo for our wedding and our photographer Irina was phenomenal. Neither my husband nor I were very comfortable with having our pictures taken and she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed for both our engagement and wedding. She took so many beautiful candid photographs and gave direction to make our pictures look both beautiful and natural. She was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her.I chose Carlsbad Photo before I even picked my dress! When you meet people with a good heart who are loving life, everything around them is that much better. Why would you not want someone like that shooting your special day when you are surrounded by everyone you love? Her energy enhances everything and she will make you laugh so much! She will help you with questions beyond photos for your big day - she has a lot of experience and literally knows everything about weddings! She was pretty much our coordinator. She instructed us when to stop and kiss after we headed out of the isle, how to cut the cake, and even how to toss my bouquet to get the most beautiful pictures!!!And to me, the best part of booking Irina is that you will have someone on your special day who truly is the TEAM BRIDE!

Hey there! I'm Linda. San Diego wedding and portrait photographer. I've been photographing weddings for 8 years and have loved every minute of it. I'd love to chat with you and share how I can help you get the best possible images on your special day while giving you a great experience.

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!

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.

Whether you're getting married in San Diego or halfway across the world, I focus on the honest moments that make your story yours. With a blend of film and digital, I craft galleries that feel timeless, cinematic, and true to the day.

Teresa was so great to work with! We booked her as our wedding photographer, and it was everything we dreamed of and more! Leading up to the wedding, the process was extremely easy and clear. Teresa was always prompt in answering emails and happy to jump on a FaceTime call to discuss any questions or talk through the day ahead of time. We already thought she had a beautiful portfolio, and when talking together, she understood the vision of telling the story of the day through an artistic and romantic lens. On the day, she was super easy to work with, and when the timeline ran long due to other factors, she stayed calm and we figured out a way to rework the timeline to get what we needed. We felt very comfortable with her, and she helped direct us into some poses to get some amazing shots. We received our sneak peeks just about a week later and were blown away. Friends and family said they looked like they were out of Vogue or Vanity Fair. We're so excited to see the rest, and would definitely recommend!

Hey there, I'm Ben! I believe photography is not just about clicking the shutter at the right moment. It's about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotion, the feeling, and the story behind it. My style is all about telling stories of love, laughter, tears, joy, and all the beautiful chaos in between. Just like your wedding day, every photo shoot is a unique, amazing, and important experience. That's why I pour my heart and soul into creating and capturing the special moments that make each photo shoot memorable. I'm not just taking pictures, I'm crafting narratives. We're not just making photos, we're making memories.

We had the pleasure of working with Ben Straily Photography for both our engagement and wedding photos and videos, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ben was a true professional from start to finish—offering clear, helpful instructions for poses, bringing a creative and artistic eye to every shot, and demonstrating an impressive level of expertise. He truly captured the essence of our special day in a way we’ll cherish forever. Both the photos and video exceeded our expectations, and Ben was very accommodating in making specific edits we requested. His flexibility and attention to detail really set him apart. We’re absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer and videographer.

Born and raised in New Jersey, I’ve always had a passion for storytelling through art, which led me to photography. Now based in San Diego, I specialize in event and wedding photography, capturing moments with a journalistic and editorial approach. My goal is to document authentic emotions and connections that reflect the true spirit of every event. When I’m not behind the camera, I love to paint, cook, bake, and spend time with my dog, Willow, and my growing collection of plants.

Having Brittany as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. She didn’t just capture beautiful images; she captured the emotion and essence of every moment. She made us feel so comfortable, and it felt like she was always in the right place at the right time without being intrusive. We are beyond thrilled with the memories she gave us! I highly recommend her.

Hiii! I'm Kayley and I'm so glad you're here. I’m energized by meeting new people, so please say hello! I’m a go with the flow kind of person – which explains my love for spontaneous trips and the excitement of weddings. I love to dance and have a good time (seriously, I WILL be out there on the dance floor with you).

Kayley was such a pleasure to work with! My husband and I booked her engagement and wedding photo package. We are so glad we did this because it gave us an opportunity to get to know Kayley, and at our wedding it felt like reuniting with a friend! Kayley is so fun to work with, professional, and personable. Kayley was organized and had our shot list ready to go when it came time to take our family and bridal party photos. We are already so happy with our wedding photos after receiving our sneak peek and cant wait to see the rest! We would absolutely recommend Kayley!
