About

Hi, I am so excited about this most amazing time of your life. Marrying your soulmate and taking this adventure together hand in hand. My name is Rita of Clifton Photography. I am wedding photographer that loves documenting unique, fun, details, emotion, and creative weddings. My clients are so important to me, so I have a selective amount of weddings I shoot a year. I feel that gives me more time to be personal with my brides and grooms. Everyone of my collections has a get to know me engagement session included. I feel this gives us more time to work together and just have fun, so when the wedding day comes we are like old friends. Clifton Photography is based out of Southern California. Also serving Orange County, Los Angeles, Temecula, Temecula Wineries, San Diego,and the Inland Empire. I would love to hear more details of your wedding day and look forward to working with you. Sincerely, Rita

Rita was seriously my wedding photographer lifesaver!! I called Rita in a panic late January (almost 2 months after I got engaged) because the photographer I had selected before did not meet to their standards. I was so embarrassed when I called Rita (crying and having a mini bridal melt-down) but she immeditely put me first and tracked her calendar down to see if she had the day open...AND SHE DID!!! We set up a consultation (which was the best thing ever...) and I knew I found "the one" :)

Everything from the engagement shoot, to the "First Look", to the wedding ceremony and reception, she did it all...and it's a LOVE she has, not a "job". That is what we as a couple loved so much about her...we still talk about her style and even my mom mentioned to me today that her personality and love for photography is so amazing...and it is.

Rita, we appreciate you coming to our rescue...I could not be any happier with how our day turned out. You are the best! Thank you so much.

Bride-to-be's....do not hesitate, and contact Rita as soon as you can...I happened to get lucky for my wedding day at such short notice!

With Love,

Jonathan and Danielle W.

Rita is absolutely amazing!!! She is such a joy to be around the day of, which I think is just as important as her amazing pictures. She is adorable and you can't help but smile when you are around her. Or strike some fierce poses, because she makes it so much fun, you forget how goofy you feel.

She was one of my favorite vendors throughout the whole wedding process! Before, the day of, and after, she is wonderful to work with.

My husband and I have loved Rita since the moment we all met. We had such a great experiance with her being our photographer. We all went to Las Vegas for the engagement photos and it was one of the best times my husband and I have ever had together. She was so easy to work with and has such great ideas for photos. All she wants is the best for her clients. Everyone that met her at our wedding loved her and we couldn't be happier with all of the photographs that were captured.

Rita Clifton of Clifton Photography surpassed all my wedding day expectations as a blushing bride. Wedding day planning is very stressful but Rita made the photography seemless from the planning all the way through her execution of my priceless images she captured for me, my husband and our entire family and wedding party. Rita, you are truly amazing and any bride would be fortunate to have you as her photographer. I will never use anyone else but Clifton Photography and especially Rita to capture all of our lifes precious moments.

Rita is an amazing, very talented photographer. We have done our engagement shoot, wedding, and maternity shoot with her and we absolutely love her work. After having her photograph our life milestones, we couldn't go to anyone else. We can't wait to have a photoshoot for the baby and our family portraits as well. :)

Brides! If you need a photographer, Clifton Photography is by far the best. Rita was so amazingly sweet and made my fiance and I feel so special. We both loved her photography from the start but when we met with her for our consultation we knew right then and there she was the photographer that we wanted to spend our day with. We did look at other photographers but Rita's pictures had the umph that we were looking for!
Highly! Highly recommend!
