About

LOVE and LIGHT Photographer is a wedding photography business in San Diego, California. My creative company shoots mostly from a photojournalistic approach, meaning I look for pictures that occur naturally without my influence. This approach produces the best pictures because people are freer to be themselves, and each wedding has its own character and story. I am Dominique Labrecque, and I strive to make the portrait session go quickly and smoothly for all involved. I shoot with a fashion-influenced technique, placing less of an emphasis on "proper posing" techniques and more on originality and fun.

Breathtaking!

Dom did an amazing job capturing every moment and detail of our wedding. He is a fun and easy going person and that helps with wedding day jitters ;) He gets the most breathtaking shots! My house is definitely going to be full of wedding pictures because we can’t decide on just a few. Thank you Dom for capturing all our beautiful wedding memories!

The photos are EPIC and made our hearts leap out of our chest!!!

What can I even say to fully capture his ability, talent and genuine heart?? Dom is incredible and we are extremely grateful.

From our underwater engagement shoot to our actual wedding day he has always been in communication, making us feel completely comfortable, in front of and behind the lens, and really made the entire process pretty effortless on our end. We got to be ourselves while he did his thing and captured the essence of our big day perfectly!

My heart absolutely melts when I look at the photos... highly recommend him to anyone! Overall, he totally nailed it and we couldn't be happier with the photos we got back in a very timely manor!

We will definitely be using Dom again for future events or photo shoots. THANK YOU!!!!!

My wife and I were blessed to have Dominique come shoot our destination wedding in Mexico. Dominique went above and beyond our expectations. His professionalism, character, and warmth provided a wonderful addition with him spending time with our families. The time he spent taking photos during the duration of our trip was not even requested of him. He did a phenomenal job. We owe him BIG! Our beach wedding will now be something remembered for a life time captured perfectly by Mr. Dom! We will be using him again in the future!

I cannot even put into words how amazing Dominique is at his work. He is a creative genius, with a artistic eye, and a laid back demeanor, who gets the job done! We were referred to Dominique from a close friend when planning our wedding! We met with several photographers but went with Dominique because we loved his work, and I was impressed by the outcome of the photographs from my friends wedding. My husband really liked him because "he's super chill" and a perfect fit for our personalities. Dominique suggested we do a underwater engagement shoot which neither of us would have ever thought of doing. We aren't big swimmers so wasn't sure, but trusted Dominique as a surfer and knew he is passionate about the water so we said "why not", we have a pool!! They turned out amazing!!! We received the best compliments on the pictures! People were amazed!! We incorporated them into the wedding and I have them printed on canvas around the house! It was a creative, different approach that will forever be our memories! He shot our wedding day and pre wedding pictures, all came out beautiful! He knows the exact way to tell us how to pose, how to capture the perfect lighting, and now we have pictures that capture my husband and I's personality and love with little effort. He is soooo easy to work with. It's like hanging out with a friend rather than an uncomfortable awkward fake pose for a shoot. He also has a photo booth as a part of his packages! By far one of my guest favorite things at my wedding! We got copies of all the photo booth moments along with the guest! They were so much fun to look at and look back at. Dominique will now be shooting my underwater maternity photos and I couldn't be more excited. He will be our family photographer for our lifetime! I couldn't be more happy with his service and he is now someone we considered a friend!

This review is for Dominique's Photo booth only.

For me the photo booth is a great addition to a wedding but the price point can be outrageous. My experience with Dominique /DL photo booth was really exceptional. He was very diligent in responding to my questions and even following up with me. I chose a 4 hour run time with unlimited strip prints for the guests and digital downloads included for us. Dominique’s contract listed everything he needed for his set up which made it very easy for me to reference. He worked with my venue to coordinate insurance as required by them plus he arrived early on site and I did not have to worry about him as a vendor. He was also easy to get a hold of and responsive after the wedding witch was key in making sure we had access to our digital albums.

When people started to finally use the booth after all the formalities he stayed close for assistance but did not police the guests. His booth allows for the guests to basically run it themselves with a large red button and timer set for four pictures. There were no printer issues that I noticed and the open air booth allows for an extremely large amount of people to fit in frame. The shots were hilarious and people seemed to really enjoy themselves…a lot of our friends and family are big hams so coupled with excellent props and open bar make for great memories and pictures.

When you hire DL photo booths you do not only get the benefit of having a great photo booth set up but you also get a REAL photographer. Dominique has a great portfolio and his booth has quality equipment that is evident in the digital versions of the images. Everyone at my wedding truly loved the photo booth and I have a bazillion digital prints to prove it.

My husband and I have known Dominique for years and watched him develop into a very talented photographer and artist! I'm personally very uncomfortable with taking photos and knowing that, Dom did what he could to make me laugh or forget how awkward I felt. He did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding pictures. He even added in a session of underwater photos (practice holding you breath!) His photo booth is top notch and was a huge hit at the wedding! We would highly recommend Dominique for your special day and all the important moments before it and after.

Dom has been nothing shy of amazing. Him and his girlfriend Lauren helped me capture one of the most special moments in my life and gave me some pictures my now Husband and I will remember forever. I found Dom through Yelp and contacted him regarding taking photos at my Husband's homecoming from deployment. He was so flexible and easy to schedule with and was very responsive. I feel he is reasonably priced considering deployments are so uncertain. He charged me $300 for around 6-8 hours of his and his gf Lauren's time and provided me with digitial files of our photos (around 150-300 photos or so, can't remember exactly). The photos were high quality and he and Lauren were very warm, professional and made me feel very comfortable. We recently got engaged, and married and I contacted him again to capture our small special day at the courthouse. We're planning on doing a bigger wedding soon and will definitely use him again. Same price and easily as many photos. Such a great deal. I'm very happy I met Dom and his GF Lauren. They are quite the duo and I can promise you without a doubt he can capture moments you never want to forget. I'll cherish these photos for the rest of my life! Thanks Dom & Lauren, you Rock!

We are really happy we had Dominique as our wedding photographer. He was really easy to work with, both relaxed and professional at the same time! We have so many great photos - now the only thing is parsing them down - but the situation of having so many excellent photos is a good one to be in, of course :)

We also did an engagement shoot with Dom and he ran our photobooth. The photobooth was a hit. I didn't realize how much guests, young and old, would love the photobooth- we are really glad we took Dom's recommendation about having it!

I also really love the getting ready photos I had with my bridesmaids- and Dom was flexible as the time table and location for all this came together.

If you want a wedding photographer who is both professional and relaxed, go with Dom! A relaxed photographer is definitely a must to keep the groom and groomsmen happy and calm, I think :)
