Chasing light review 10/10

We had the immense pleasure of hiring Chasing Light for our wedding at Galway Downs in Temecula, and I cannot emphasize enough how extraordinary their work was. From the first phone meeting to the final product, they displayed a level of professionalism, creativity, and dedication that truly set them apart. We even had an engagement shoot with Clara the photographer before hand and the photos were so beautiful. She made us feel comfortable, at ease and laughed the entire time.

On the day of our wedding, the Russ & Clara arrived early and immediately put us at ease with their friendly, yet unobtrusive, demeanor. They were like silent storytellers, capturing every candid moment, every laugh, every tear, without us even noticing they were there. Their ability to seamlessly blend into the background while still capturing the most important and intimate moments is a true testament to their expertise.

The photos we received are nothing short of breathtaking. They perfectly encapsulate the romance and elegance of our day, with a touch of artistry that makes each shot feel like it belongs in a magazine. (Everyone has been saying they belong in a magazine!!!) Whether it was the stunning landscapes of Galway Downs or the intimate moments between us and our loved ones, every photo tells a story. The lighting, the angles, the composition, everything was thoughtfully executed to create images that are not just beautiful, but timeless.

Then there’s the wedding video..We were absolutely blown away. The editing is masterful, seamlessly weaving together the highlights of our day into a narrative that feels both cinematic and deeply personal. The way they captured the vows, the ceremony, the little in-between moments—it’s like they knew exactly what we would want to remember most. The music they chose perfectly complements the emotion of each scene, making the entire video a moving tribute to our love story. They worked in our wedding song which was so thoughtful and exactly what we were hoping. We’ve watched it countless times, and every time we do, it feels like we’re right back there, experiencing it all over again.

One thing that particularly impressed us was their attention to detail. They didn’t just capture the big moments; they also focused on the small, meaningful details that made our wedding unique. From the intricate design of my dress to the way the sunlight filtered through the trees during our ceremony, every detail was thoughtfully and beautifully documented.

Working with Chasing Light was an absolute dream. They were responsive, accommodating, and genuinely passionate about their work. They took the time to get to know us and understand our vision, and it truly shows in the final product. Our wedding photos and video are more than just memories, they are works of art that we will cherish forever.

If you’re searching for a photography and videography team that will go above and beyond to capture the essence of your special day, go with Chasing Light!!! We are forever grateful for the incredible memories they created for us.

The Best Photo/Video in San Diego

The Chasing Light team is exactly who you need to photograph and video your most important day. What we loved most was their attention to detail and artistry as well as their charming personalities. We had the privilege to work with Clara, Russ, and Alex; all of whom where special in their own ways. They had us cracking up the whole time and made the process really fun.
