Praise

A few words from our past clients…


Paul was wonderful to work with. From the beginning he was very flexible.

Photography to most is going to be one of the most important things about a wedding as well as one of the most expensive. My husband and I did quite a bit of research and when we came across Paul he was easy to work with and very responsive. He understood our needs and wants and worked with our budget. We were able to come up with a package that worked out financially for us as well as provided pictures, books, etc. of what we were looking for.

The engagement session was a lot of fun and we were able to choose the location of where we wanted to do the photo shoot. During the ceremony and reception he was very inconspicuous yet he still captures the pictures that you want. Paul was great to work with and I highly recommend him!

Erin & Leonidas – La Costa, Carlsbad


Paul was the photographer for my wedding on March 1st. I really feel like he listened to everything we said in the consultation. He was so professional and great on the day of and we are thrilled with the photos!

We had a small guest list, about 20 people total, so the personality of the photographer was just as important as the talent. Paul is so calm and relaxed, but also funny! He definitely fit right in with the group. He was always nearby capturing all of the important shots, but was never too overbearing like I have seen some photographers be. He did all of the classic portraits, even though I got a little grumpy (I don’t like to pose) he took it in stride and kept things fun and moving along. There was a LOT of rain, that caused a little chaos for our outdoor wedding. Paul handled it amazingly well. He made the best out of any setting.

We were so happy when our pictures were posted. They were better than we could have imagined! We also ordered an album and 2 smaller versions for our parents. We got the digital proof for that yesterday, it is amazing! We didn’t have a single edit or change.

Samantha & Adam – Private Residence, Oceanside


Amazing, we absolutely loved our pictures. We were about an hour and a half late and Paul did a great job picking up the pieces.

We also recommend doing the engagement shoot to get to know Paul. He is very laid back and easy to get along with. Overall we fell in love with our pictures and the bride (me) is very picky and a bit of a freak when it comes to pictures.

We highly recommend Paul, currently we are working on our album and wanted to change a few things, he is very open and willing to go with your ideas as well. WOW!!

Hi Paul!

I just wanted to send a quick message to you to tell you thank you SO much for being so amazing at the wedding. I am SO sorry for all that you had to deal with (with kids running around like crazy and their parents not controlling them). You were incredibly patient. It definitely stood out. Any other photographer would have thrown up their hands with the way they were acting. I hope you had fun even though the kids were being crazy.

Brad and I absolutely loved having you there. I will DEFINITELY be recommending you to all my friends that are starting to be at the marrying age! Thank you so much again! I seriously can’t say it enough.

Stacie & Brad – Riverwalk Golf Resort


Paul was awesome. I would not have changed a thing. He was so easy to contact when I had questions, his prices were great, and his professionalism and quality of work was head and shoulders above the rest.

He stayed at our reception to capture some special moments because the DJ was running behind on getting everything done. I told him it was ok and that he could go but he insisted on staying on his own time! And his work… there are not words to describe how impressed I was!

Malynda & Ben – Saint Gregory & Marina Village


Paul was an amazing photographer for our wedding! What I really liked about Paul was how much he cared that he captured the moments we wanted. We didn’t just want the serious every wedding has pictures, but also wanted fun pictures. Paul was able to capture the important moments as well as the fun moments.

On the day of the wedding Paul was very out of the way. I didn’t even notice him most of the time, but the pictures show he was at the right place at the right time.

Would recommend him to everyone and anyone.

Christina & Miguel – San Diego Zoo Safari Park


This is the email we sent immediately after seeing our pictures…says it all! He was wonderful to work with, laid-back, efficient and flexible:

“Paul…the pictures are fantastic!!! Seriously…love all of them…we knew they Would be amazing…but they even far exceeded our expectations! Have no idea how we will narrow it down for the album 🙂 thank you for capturing everything about that night. You are so talented…the best!!!!!! (and all the exclamation points in the world don’t depict how thrilled we are). Thank you!!!!!!!!!”

Rachel & Jacob – La Jolla Estate


Paul did a fantastic job at my son’s wedding. We knew he was awesome when we saw the shots from the engagement photo’s from last year, but he outdid himself at the wedding.

He is so easy going and willing to take whatever pictures we wanted. The wedding was at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse and the shots that he took were amazing. We received the pictures back yesterday and will have a hard time deciding on which ones to print.

He was also willing to work with us on creating a package that worked within our budget. It was so wonderful to get a photographer with his talent and expertise. I will recommend him to everyone I know.

Thanks Paul!

Cassie & Mike – Tom Ham’s Lighthouse


Paul was incredible! I really recommend him to anyone in the San Diego area. So many photographers work in San Diego, and they can all start to seem the same. Everyone is doing digital photo albums and all the portfolios look the same.

Paul is down to earth, his work is incredible and he was flexible and natural while taking pictures. He isn’t creepy at all, either, I had him in the room while I getting ready and he was fine. I wish I had more reasons to use a photographer, because Paul is great!

Heather & Jerry – Sheraton, Harbor Island


Paul Talanian is the best photographer ever! Not only does he take the most gorgeous pictures, but he is super sweet and funny, and makes you feel really comfortable with the camera. My husband thought Paul was the coolest out of all of our wedding vendors, and I have to agree.

Bottom line is Paul is so nice, you want to be friends with him, and he is an incredible photographer and can make anyone look good in a photo to boot. Thank you Paul, for taking such amazing pictures of my wedding!! I can’t express how much I love these photos. You are AMAZING!
