Effortless, emotional wedding photography

in San Diego & Beyond

You want more than photos.

You want the feeling. The moment your dad tears up. Your partner’s laugh during the vows. That wild, messy, beautiful dance floor energy.

I’m Nika, a San Diego-based wedding photographer. I specialize in timeless, artful, and deeply authentic images.

Photos that feel like memories. Not poses.

Inquire about your date

This day isn’t about perfection.

It’s about the way your person looks at you as you make your way down the aisle. The way your parents hold each other. The way you feel.

I capture the real stuff. The emotional, unscripted, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments.

Let's work together!

But don’t worry—I’ll still make sure you look incredible.

I guide gently. I help you relax. You just get to be you.

Hi, I’m Nika.

I’m a wedding photographer based in San Diego, and I’m drawn to the quiet, meaningful in-between moments—the ones you didn’t even realize were happening until you see them in a photo.

My approach is relaxed and observant. I won’t tell you to fake a laugh or tilt your head just so. I’ll guide gently when needed, but most of the time, I’m just paying attention—so you can stay present.

My style blends candid storytelling with an editorial edge. Think: effortless, emotional, and beautifully true to you.

When I’m not at a wedding, I’m probably chasing golden hour somewhere along the coast, or hunting for mid-century furniture at a local thrift store.
