Exceptional 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

Unmatched Excellence: Our Perfect Wedding with PKA Photography

There are just not enough words to describe how incredible PKA truly is. My husband and I eloped to San Diego and hired PKA to photograph, videograph, and officiate our wedding. Their team is amazing. It is no wonder they have hundreds of 5 star reviews. Our entire experience with them from our initial consult via zoom all the way through receiving our photos and video has been so impressively organized, efficient, and timely. The services they provide at the quality they provide it at is unmatched to literally anyone in the industry anywhere in the country. I personally have experience in this industry and have never seen anyone do it better. Mia is so incredibly talented, caring, and kind. She thinks of every detail and makes everything so easy. She guides her team and makes sure everything is perfect. LaRon made our day so special and he personalized our ceremony so impressively without meeting us until the day of. It is something we will talk about the rest of our lives and we are forever grateful and our hearts are so full reflecting on our beautiful ceremony he put together. He took care of so many little details that made such a difference in our day and made us feel so cared for. It rained on our wedding day which was so disappointing for me and PKA did such an amazing job hyping us up that the rain didn’t dampen the mood. It became a prop and symbol of luck on our marriage rather than gloom. When we look at our photos and video you wouldn’t even know it was raining that day. They work with you to have the perfect package that caters to what you want out of your day and truly care that your wedding is everything you have ever dreamed of. I hope I get the opportunity to work with them again in the future. Anyone looking for not just a photographer but a quality experience, look no further. PKA is who you want to work with. You will not regret it.

Stunning & beautiful photos with an amazing photographer

Wow! Mia is amazing! We hired Mia to do our engagement photoshoot and we were beyond happy with the photos! She was so helpful in explaining her process and suggesting different spots for our photoshoot. My fiance is not a huge fan of taking photos, but she made us feel so comfortable and gave us tips to make everything look great. Mia got us the raw photos super quickly and was really flexible with us when we needed more time to select our favorites (so difficult because we LOVED every one!). Every time a friend sees my photos, they always stop me because they can't believe how incredible the photos are! Mia has an incredible style and the retouched photos are like stunning, beautiful pieces of art. Even my mom who was skeptical of paid photography could not believe how great Mia's photos turned out and said they were the most beautiful photographs she had seen. Needless to say, we will be having Mia and LaRon capture our wedding as well :)

Hey There

My name is LaRon .

After college, I continued taking photos and videos of my travels as well as my time spent living in San Francisco/ Bay Area.

I now live in San Diego, where I am exploring the realm of photography and visual media on several platforms and would love to bring my vision to your project.

I am also a skilled Drone Pilot and Photograher and highly skilled in the latest techniques of photo editing and post-production for video and film.

Hi I am Mia.
I learned painting since I was 5, it built my love of art at a very young age. I then learned Commercial Advertising and Design in University.
During my spare time of school , I started a part-time modeling job when I was 18, it opened a gate for me to work with many professional photographers and to learn from them. That’s where I enhanced my posing skills, layout skills, finding the best angles for lighting , and more technical aspects of photography.
Since 2002, I started traveling around the world with my cameras. The more I see, the more I want to capture it on film.
I love to capture natural things and the most natural moments of people. I love to explore with my clients and catch the spirit of the day. I love to see how happy my clients are when they see the final work is higher than their expectation. I love to capture special moments in people’s lives and share their story in a way that is honest, artistic, and unique…


My formula for photography is two parts:

  1. Tell your story. This is so important. I don't want to only tell the story of a perfectly posed smiling clients. I want those in between moments, as well. I want to see your real emotion, laughter, exhaustion, all of it! Basically, a bit more polished version of your real life.
  2. Take the photographs I wish I had of me & mine. I am mother, partner, daughter, friend. So I deeply understand the importance of capturing that beautiful bond.


I would be honored to tell your story!
