Paula was amazing for my engagement photography in Encinitas. She was so helpful and communicative throughout the whole process. The photos ended up being perfect and during the whole shoot she was working to find the best angles and lighting. My fiancé and I could not be happier with the end result and would recommend Paula for any photography needs!

I needed a photographer for my wedding that took place three days after Christmas. I was worried about a availability. Checked out a local app and many people said good things about Paula Luna.
I contacted her and she was a available. She gave me a great quote and we booked her. I couldn't be happier with her work. She was professional and friendly. She made sure we got all the shots we wanted. And she made sure she made good use of all her contracted time. I will be sure to keep her number in case I need a photographer again. She is great!
Details: Wedding • Fewer than 25 guests • Outdoors

Paula was super responsive right from the start, even before we booked her, and that continued all the way through! She really went above and beyond; she even helped us figure out the perfect time and position for our wedding arch to make sure our photos were amazing. She arrived on time and guided us through the whole photo process. We loved how our pictures came out, and she captured our special day beautifully! Highly recommend!

Paula was great to work with, she responded to my initial inquiry within an hour and helped set up a plan for my surprise proposal shoot near Torrey Pines Gliderport. She got the pictures back to us in less than a day and my fiancée and I couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer!

Paula was flexible with us on cost such that we found a price that worked within our budget while still getting beautiful quality photos. She was also flexible with the time as we were late due to traffic and was very understanding and easy to communicate with. But most of all she was very pleasant and easy to work with and directed us during the shoot so that we were happy with it, often showing us the photos so we can make sure that we liked the shot, and made it very easy. The photos turned out beautifully and we are so happy with them. Would definitely hire her again.
