Wow! I am blown away! Had our wedding three weeks ago at Tivoli Italian Villa with Chasing Light (Russ) as our photographer. We are still in awe of the incredible work that he did and cannot recommend CL enough! Of all the vendors to book when wedding planning, photography scared me the most! I knew how important these pictures would be, as they would likely be the only way to capture the memories and feelings of the special day. I am SO THANKFUL that we went with Chasing Light, and can relive our wedding day with such beautiful photos for years to come. Russ was a delight to work with during the whole process. His energy, humor, and clear communication made the nerve-wracking process of taking photos soooo smooth. He had such a vision and though of things that I even forgot to ask for, but am so grateful to have documented! He went above and beyond, even doing my veil and bustle so it would look flawless in photos! We also really appreciated having the engagement shoot included in the package. Due to personal logistics, we weren't able to do photos until about two weeks before the wedding, but I am so glad we did! The photos turned out spectacular and it made wedding day feel very familiar and fresh. All our family and friends keep telling us just how beautiful our photos turned out! If you're looking for someone, choose CL!

We had the BEST experience with our photographer, videographer, and their amazing team. From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calming, positive energy to our wedding day. They kept us on track without ever making us feel rushed, and they made every moment fun and effortless.

Their professionalism was unmatched, they stepped in whenever we needed direction, helped ease any stress, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The turnaround time was impressive, and the final photos and video were absolutely beautiful.

We’re genuinely grateful for how much care and effort they put into capturing our day. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, organized, and truly enjoyable team to work with.

Working with Russ and Clara was an absolute pleasure! They expertly documented our wedding day, delivering results that exceeded all expectations. Hiring them was truly the best investment we made, providing us with lifelong photos and videos that we will look back on with joy. They consistently went above and beyond their duties, even offering coordination help where they saw a need. Their level of commitment and care is obvious in their work. We highly recommend them for your event needs, you will not regret it!

Russ and Clara were amazing! We had rain the morning of our wedding, which brought on some stress, but once Russ and Clara got there, they brought such a calming presence! They did such a great job of making our pre-ceremony timeline run so smoothly. They were professional, communicative and talented. They did such a great job guiding our families and wedding party and kept everyone on track. We couldn’t ask for better photos! The video they put together was also incredible, all of our friends and family were in awe. We can’t wait to see the rest. They captured our day so beautifully, and we will cherish these memories forever

We are so grateful we chose Chasing Light! Russ and Cara were incredible every step of the way. We booked their photography and videography package, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. My husband and I usually feel a bit awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel completely at ease. The turnaround time for our photos was so fast, and every image was absolutely stunning. We truly can’t recommend them highly enough!

There are so many things that we loved about Russ and Clara but the bottom line is, we couldn't be happier with our decision to have them as part of our wedding.

It goes without saying that we couldn't be happier about how our wedding photos and video came out. They did such a great job of not only capturing the moment, but also the feeling and emotion behind every moment. On top of all that, they were also able to turn around the photos and videos so quickly which is underrated as that usually is not the experience for most other vendors.

Where they go above and beyond however, is what really makes them special. They are true professionals in the sense that they know how to work with their audience--whether it's making the bride and groom feel comfortable, managing bridal parties, or dealing with a difficult parent, they really know how to get the most out of everyone.

They are so friendly, passionate, and simply who you want in your corner on your special day--couldn't recommend them enough!

Russ and Clara,

We feel so beyond lucky to have found you guys and it has truly been an honor working with you both. I (Kelly) was really going through it the morning of the wedding and everything got better the second you two arrived. Our video and photos are literally PERFECT, we are so thankful for all the work you’ve done. You have very clearly gone above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Chasing Light! From start to finish, they were incredible to work with. We opted for the engagement + wedding photo and video package, and it was worth every penny. Pricing is reasonable, and the turnaround time for photos is lightning fast—we had ours back within just 14 days!

What truly sets Chasing Light apart is their expertise in the wedding industry. Honestly, they were just as good—if not better—than our day-of coordinators. Despite the day running behind schedule, they worked seamlessly to adjust, prioritize, and make sure we got the most important shots. While we couldn’t take all the family photos I’d originally hoped for, their ability to pivot and focus on what mattered most to us was truly impressive.

If you’re considering them, don’t hesitate—seriously, Chasing Light is a dream team! We couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Everything worked out wonderful! All the photos and videos capture every precious moment and they will last a lifetime. The photos are edited in a timeless fashion and are gorgeous. They also took our engagement photos free of charge and we really like those.

We loved that we get the raw+edited photos and video which makes it easy to make amateur edits for IG reels and YouTube.

Overall it was a great experience and they delivered tremendous value for the price.

My husband and I recently got married in San Diego, CA and I found Chasing Light on a different wedding planning website. Lets just say I wouldn't have chosen anyone else! Russ and Clara were literally amazing. The package we chose included an engagement shoot, wedding day photo and video, plus some other awesome perks and were so happy with how they turned out. I loved the idea of them doing including an engagement shoot because it gave us a chance to work with them before our big day to make sure we were a good fit and we could get a chance to see their work for ourselves. The shoot was so much fun and Russ was amazing at giving direction. He was extremely conscious about how the lighting would look in certain photos and where we should stand to get the best photos (hence the name chasing light :) . Then on our wedding day we opted to have them do our photography and videography and we couldn't have asked for more! We had a decently strict timeline to get all of the photos we wanted taken and Russ and Clara really stuck to it but never my Husband or I feel like we were being rushed. They caught some amazing candid shots and videos of us and our guests dancing and we will cherish them forever! They asked us a bunch which shots we wanted and really catered to what we were looking for which really just made our day that much more special. We got our photos back super quick and the video back not too much long after that so they work pretty quick. So If you're looking for a photo and video company for your big day, I cannot recommend them enough!!
