Taryn Sent on 12/24/2024My Favorite Wedding Vendor EVER
I can't say enough about Mia, Laron and their team. Of all my wedding vendors, they were my favorite (and easiest) to work with. They were very accessible and easy to reach; I could message my random thoughts and ideas at any hour and Mia would respond almost immediately. They work tirelessly around the clock to get things done so you aren't waiting to get your photos back; mine were sent to me the next day. They are open to suggestions and ideas; I had different visions for my engagement shoot and they were willing to do things out of the norm to make it work. Our photoshoots were fun and unique. I did a boudoir shoot with Mia and she made me feel very comfortable in an intimate setting and it was not awkward at all. Mia is your hype girl! I love their willingness to go with the flow while still getting things done. Mia and Laron complement each other very well. They have different perspective from one another so when they put their heads together, there is more opportunity for creativity, visually stunning work and a unique experience. Highly recommend PKA for any event. -

Anjali Sent on 03/15/2025Awesome and accomodating!
PKA Photography (specifically, Mia, LaRon, Nafas, and David) were wonderful photographers and videographers at our secular and Indian traditional wedding. They were so welcoming, kind, and accommodating of our desires and delivery. We went all out and got the L'Amour package and we have absolutely no regrets!
Before any photo/video sessions, Mia took a Zoom call with us to get to know us, our needs, and what we were hoping for when creating these lifelong memories.
Mia did our engagement photoshoot and she really went above and beyond: To give you some idea, we actually chose TWO locations for this and Mia came to both locations AND it was high tide at our beach location and Mia STILL navigated around the difficult terrain so we could get the perfect pictures.
Before the wedding events, we had a call with both Mia and LaRon and walked through what the wedding would look like, linked them with our other vendors, and finalized with them what photos were non-negotiable (e.g., group photos with friends and family, cultural elements) and what videos were important for us to have (e.g., the first dance). They were incredibly knowledgeable and provided us with the appropriate plans, details, and advance notice for us keep in mind.
On the actual day-of, their photography and videography team were excellent at being behind the scenes, yet they were able to capture all the details that made our day wonderful. Even though we faced some time issues, Mia, LaRon, and their team easily maneuvered around this and provided us with prompt suggestions to ensure our day and photos/videos were not totally interrupted.
The team was also really good at taking us to the side at the right time (think peak Golden Hour!) and getting amazing shots and videos of us. The team hyped us up and kept us energized despite all the happenings of the wedding (fun but tiring for sure!). Outside of this, the team also got amazing shots of our decor, food, and guests which we are so thankful for and happy to see in our album and videos! When it came to the Indian traditional event, the team was also very meticulous in ensuring the special cultural elements were photographed and video taped well which added to the unique memory of our event.
After the weddings themselves, Mia and LaRon were very good in keeping in contact with us and communicated with us on everything--from getting our confirmation on which photos went into our albums to what editing style we liked to letting us know of shipping delays! Their patience and prompt communication with us was definitely a highlight of our experience with PKA.
When it came time to collect our USB and photo albums, we could not stop smiling looking back at our memories. We were also so happy to receive the livestreams of our events which friends and family now have access to in case they missed the even day-of.
Overall, we would recommend PKA 1000 times over. Mia and LaRon are an amazing, dedicated, and kind duo. Their media team added to the happiness and memory of our weddings and we highly recommend them for any of your special events! -

Morgan Sent on 03/02/2025The BEST photography & videography team in San Diego!
Had the best experience with Mia and LaRon. They’re kind, accommodating, and great at what they do. They put a lot of effort and love into their work, and it shows. My husband and I booked them for our wedding back in July. We did the package that included a photo, video, usb flash drive, and the photo album. All of which came out stunning! They ensured to capture every lovely detail and moment of our favorite day! We adore them, as well as our photos/video! We will be booking with them in the near future for our family photos! Thank you guys! 🫶🏼 -

Hope Sent on 12/20/2024Our Amazing Experience with Mia and LaRon
Prior to contacting PKA, I'd cast a wide search throughout SoCal for the best photographers to work with and the reviews spoke for themselves. I'd highly recommend booking with this fantastic company. Mia and LaRon both made this a remarkable experience that we'll always cherish. From the very beginning with our video conference with LaRon. He explained the entire process to us in great detail. We noticed how passionate, honest and transparent LaRon came off. Which was a great plus choosing to book with PKA. At the time we both appreciated the suggestions LaRon offered to us during our meeting that we hadn't considered. We aren't from the San Diego area and his expertise of the area helped out tremendously. Once the day of our appointment came and ended we walked away loving the images that were captured by Mia. One thing I can say about Mia is that she loves what she does and her energy is infectious. I appreciated how she made my fiancée feel comfortable, empowered and especially how caring she was toward the friends who also took part in making our photoshoot a day to remember. Overall, there's so much more I could divulge about our experience and how delightful it was working with Mia, LaRon and their entire team. I truly believe their work speaks for itself as well as their professionalism.
Mia, LaRon and to the entire team, my fiancée and I are deeply grateful for all of you.
From our hearts to yours!
Thank you! -

Colleen Sent on 12/11/2024Amazing experience with Mia
I couldn't have been happier to have found Mia to capture our wedding day. My husband and I planned on eloping, but wanted to capture some photos of our day. I explained to Mia what I was looking for and she was responsive to all my questions and concerns throughout the planning process. The day was so wonderful and a huge part was spending it with Mia. She made us feel so comfortable and special. We were so happy with the photos she took. To be honest, the photos looked great even before any touch ups. I highly recommend Mia for any of your photography needs. -

Unforgettable Memories - Highly Recommended!
My husband and I first met PKA Photography at a wedding convention, and we were immediately drawn to the stunning framed photos and impressive portfolio displayed at their table. From that moment, we knew they were the right choice for us. Their professionalism and excellent communication from day one made the stressful process of wedding planning so much easier.
On our wedding day, Mia, LaRon, and their incredible team exceeded all expectations with their attention to detail and breathtaking shots. We couldn’t be happier with the memories they captured. Our only regret is not having them stay until the very end of the celebration.
Thank you, PKA Photography, for giving us memories we will treasure forever. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a truly exceptional photography experience! -

Kathleen Sent on 11/12/2024More Than a Photographer and Videographer: A Lifelong Friendship and Unforgettable Wedding Experience with Mia and LaRon
Working with Mia and LaRon has truly been one of the best parts of our wedding planning journey. I say “working” because being around them feels more like spending time with friends—it’s just that much fun. From the very beginning, they made us feel completely at ease. We met Mia and LaRon at a Bridal Show, and while there were many photographers and videographers there, Mia’s photography immediately stood out to us with its vibrant, sharp colors and stunning, unique angles that captured moments in ways we never would have thought to see. We knew right away that they would bring that same energy and artistry to our wedding photos in San Diego, and they delivered beyond our expectations! Our wedding photos are some of the most beautiful images we’ve ever seen; each one feels like a piece of art.
I’ll admit I experienced some initial sticker shock when we received the wedding package quote, but after discussing our budget with Mia and LaRon, it became clear that booking with them was the best decision we could make. Not only did we get incredible photos and videos, but we also felt like we got so much more in return—their time, dedication, and genuine care. They spent countless hours on our engagement shoot, kept in touch with us throughout our planning process, met us at our venue for a walk-through, and even surprised us with a boudoir shoot. On our wedding day, they were with us all day, capturing every precious moment and bringing their passion to the editing process afterward.
Beyond the photos and videos, we gained something even more special—a lifelong friendship. I can’t say enough good things about Mia and LaRon as people. I’ve been raving about them to everyone since we booked them, and it’s an honor to write this review. Their talent, dedication to their craft, and genuine care for their clients are truly inspiring. Working with Mia and LaRon is not just a service; it’s an honor and a blessing. -

Abby Sent on 11/06/2024The Best Decision We Made!
Mia and LaRon were the absolute best decision we made for our wedding! From our first contact to the final delivery, Mia was incredibly responsive, full of great ideas, and incredibly efficient. On our wedding day, she was a joy to be around, and our guests loved her!
The photos and videos we received are truly stunning. They were so amazingly pretty that at first sight I thought they were unreal. They perfectly captured the spirit of our day and the love we share. Mia and her team also delivered the highest quality work meeting our needs. She listened to our requests and revised it according to what we prefer. We highly recommend Mia and her team to anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer and videographer. We'll definitely be hiring them again for all our future photography needs! -

The BEST Wedding Photographers EVER!!! 100/10!!
I can’t thank Mia and LaRon enough for capturing our wedding. Wedding was so stressful and fast paced, it’s hard to remember how the day went and the emotions felt. Looking at the photos delivered felt as if I was having flash backs. From getting ready in the dressing room, up until the very end, it’s like I get to relive our wedding day over and over. Mia & LaRon were very communicative throughout the whole process and promised they would deliver stunning photos - and they did exactly that. They knew exactly where to shoot and how to have us pose. Their leadership and professionalism made things a breeze for my wife and I. I highly recommend PKA for your wedding, as Mia and her team will deliver exceptional photos that will last a life time. Thanks again!! 100/10!! -

Dream Come True - Highly Recommended!
Our wedding day was truly a dream come true, thanks to PKA Photography. From the moment we connected, they were responsive and attentive to our vision, ensuring that every detail was captured flawlessly. The photography session felt like a personalized adventure, filled with laughter and creative shots that truly reflected us as a couple. Despite our initial reservations about using a different bridal shop, the gowns provided by PKA Photography were absolutely perfect and added an extra touch of elegance to our special day.
Although there were a couple of minor details that were not explicitly mentioned up front, PKA Photography addressed them promptly and professionally, ensuring that everything ran smoothly on the day. This level of adaptability and reliability made us feel truly cared for and allowed us to relax and enjoy the moment without any worries. We were pleasantly surprised by the extra effort they put into ensuring our comfort and happiness.
One aspect that could have been improved upon was the timeliness of receiving the final edited photos. While we understood that quality takes time, a clearer timeline would have eased our anticipation. However, when we finally received the photos, we were beyond impressed with the stunning results and grateful for the timeless memories they captured.
In conclusion, we can wholeheartedly recommend PKA Photography for their dedication to their craft and their ability to turn moments into eternal treasures. Thank you for being a part of our special day and for creating lasting memories that we will cherish forever. -

Thank you, PKA Photography, for capturing our special day! Kate, LaRon, and Mia are absolutely amazing! LaRon, as our officiant, made the ceremony even more beautiful and stress-free. Mia is the true artist. We are thrilled with our wedding photos. DJ Guy even helped us set up our wedding arch and coordinated the procession! The entire team was professional, creative, and attentive to every detail, ensuring that our special moments were perfectly captured. From the candid shots to the beautifully posed portraits, each picture is a cherished memory. We deeply appreciate your incredible work and dedication. We highly recommend PKA Photography to anyone seeking exceptional wedding photographers.

Marty Sent on 06/14/2024Exceptional Wedding Photography Experience with PKA Photography - Highly Recommended!
PKA Photography were incredible for our wedding! We had a very last minute elopement, so we were honestly just hoping for basic services. But happy to say we got exceptional instead. Mia and LaRon helped us go through the ceremony timeline, what vibe we were looking for, and some simple directions that would improve photo quality (like going slow and enjoying the moment!!).
Any special request we hit them with was well received and accommodated for. Communication was quick and transparent. The price was highly competitive compared to other photographers we talked to and we actually got even more services than expected in the end. And the end results were spectacular—they really captured the magic of the day.
It was difficult to pick our 20 favorites to get retouched out of all the beautiful photos, and we particularly loved the video edit. The editing process took a few rounds to get what we were going for, but they were patient throughout the process and helped achieve our vision. The only minor "critique" I can think of was that it was sometimes hard to follow the photographers' direction on the day of, but it was at Sunset Cliffs on a loud windy day, so not on them at all.
I would wholeheartedly recommend PKA be it wedding photos or otherwise
