About

I am a wedding photographer based in San Diego, CA. If you're looking at my profile - you are likely engaged and searching for a wedding photographer and let me tell you, I am so glad you found me!!!! I know planning a wedding is crazy and you're probably looking through a bunch of images and profiles, so here's what I want you to know:

This isn't about me or what I'm looking for as an artist. This is about YOU, giving YOU the best experience ever, and making sure you feel comfortable putting your celebration in my hands. These moments are important and can't be relived. You deserve an experienced photographer who can be there for you, anticipate all those little moments bofore they happen so they're ready to capture every single one, and ensure you have a blast along the way. Because marriage is fun, weddings are fun, and I want you to have fun. I thrive off relationships and am ALL IN with my couples - helping you every step of the way.

Your wedding is a big deal to me. You aren't just numbers on my spreadsheet or dates in my calendar. More than just a hired vendor, I’ll be your cheerleader, encourager, organizer, drink-getter, and the gal screaming “YAS YAS YAS” because I’m so excited about the awesome photos we’re creating together. My job is to make your day as easy and fun as possible, and in the meantime, capture incredible images you’ll treasure for the rest of your life.

Absolute Dream Come True!

We recently had the incredible pleasure of working with Kami LaLonde for our wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results!! From the moment we met her during our initial phone call, we knew she was the perfect fit. Her warm and friendly demeanor put us at ease, and you could tell that was loves what she is doing as the energy came through the phone!!

Kami was incredibly efficient and organized when it came to capturing family portraits, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and stress-free. The photos she delivered were simply breathtaking & the colors were vibrant and stunning! She not only perfectly captured the emotions and joy of our special day, but also capture our guests in a beautiful way.

We were so excited to receive a sneak peek of the photos just a few days after the wedding. It was the perfect way to relive all the magical moments after coming down from the wedding adrenaline!

The photos were delivered to us before we expected them to be and came in so organized and easy to go through and share with our family!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about capturing your special day, we highly recommend Kami!! She is truly exceptional and will create memories that will last a lifetime – excited to work with her again to capture other family moments! Thank you again SO very much Kami!!

Kami is PURE magic.

Everything about Kami is an 11/10. In fact, that it took me nearly three months to write this review because it's just so hard to sum our experience with her up!

Kami is absolutely INCREDIBLE at what she does in a way that goes beyond taking stunning photos. From the second you contact her, you feel like you have a wedding photographer, a best friend, a wedding planner, and the ultimate hype woman by your side through it all.

The passion she has for her craft is not only apparent, but it creates this energy that is just wildly contagious from the start. She takes the time to really dig into what you're looking for and from the very first click of the very first photo, you feel confident you're going to love your photos.

Kami is there to guide you through the nerve-wracking parts of your day and to celebrate alongside you the entire day. Kami knows what you want before you even have to think about it and that's just part of her magic.

Not only did my husband and I adore every second with her, but everyone, and I truly mean everyone, LOVED Kami. Family members, every single person in our wedding party, and even guests had nothing but amazing things to say about her. Loved ones who hate getting their photos taken actually enjoyed it. And we have the most stunning photos with them -- you'd never know they don't like being in front of a camera!

She is organized, prepared, enthusiastic, beyond talented, bubbly, kind, patient, warm, and just all-around wonderful. She goes above and beyond in every way and delivers more than you could ever dream of.

We love you SO MUCH, Kami! Thank you for helping make our day so special, we truly couldn't have imagined it without you.
