Choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision, but we have checked out all of the photographers on the following pages and feel very confident in recommending them for your wedding.

San Diego Style Weddings wants to give you a little closer look of who is behind those big lenses, with questions and answers that may give you a closer look into the variety of personalities to choose from. You can tell a lot with how people respond when all are given the same questions. Take a look…

Passionate, Giving and Caring
Rachael Marie Photography
- Team: My husband and I
- Established in 2014
- Ideal number of weddings annually: 24
- I Love… Jesus, my handsome husband, my beautiful children, COFFEE, and my job!
Q: If you could shoot any other kind of photography outside of weddings, what would it be and why?
A: I absolutely love Boudoir Photography. When I am not shooting a wedding, I am shooting a boudoir session. Boudoir is definitely something I am passionate about. As a mom of 4, I know how hard women are on themselves. When a woman books a boudoir session with me, I love seeing her own her sexiness and I feel privileged to be able to capture that for her.
Q: What is your favorite piece of advice for couples?
A: I ask all my clients to provide me a MUST HAVE list. This is just a list of guests that they MUST HAVE a picture with at their wedding. This ensures that I am able to capture every single person on their list!
Q: Why should someone book you for their special day?
A: There are so many excellent wedding photographers out there, but one of the things that sets me apart is my use of natural lighting. I also take all your photos in an intimate and relaxed setting.
Q: Do you offer sneak peeks or social media releases?
A: Oh my gosh, sneak peaks are a MUST! The first thing I do after every single wedding is transfer all your wedding files to my computer, backup hard drive, and the backup drive’s backup drive! The next day I go through all of your images and edit the one that speaks to me the most. Then BOOM! It’s POSTED!
Q: Do you offer video or any additional service with your packages?
A: Not yet! I am hoping this is something I can offer in the near future. However, I know some great videographers that I refer clients to!
