Marty S. 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

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 :) -

My wife and I could not have been happier to have chosen PKA as our photographers for our wedding! We had the pleasure of working with Mia, LaRon, and Kate, for both photography and videography. They were able to perfectly capture all of the special moments and made the process extremely fun and comfortable. Their communication skills are phenomenal which made it easy to prepare for the big day. Our ceremony was on Coronado Island and they scouted a beautiful location for our first look prior to the ceremony. During our meeting before the wedding, we had an idea of what we wanted, but the team was able to make it come to life even more beautiful than we could have ever anticipated. There is no doubt in our mind that Mia, LaRon, and Kate truly LOVE what they do. You can see their dedication and passion for their work in person and in pictures. Their abilities to capture jaw dropping images that we can look back on forever is something that we will always be grateful for. We will DEFINITELY be reaching out to PKA Photography for future events. Thank you once again to the wonderful PKA team, you helped make our day unforgettable. -

THANK YOU PKA TEAM! You all certainly know how to delight your clients. From the outset, Mia was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the various package options. Then, there's Laron, our wedding officiant, who went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs. On the day of the service, we were fortunate to have two additional trainees, which was a pleasant surprise. PKA made the entire process seamless for us. This team is genuinely talented at what they do. We highly recommend their services. -

Cindy K. Sent on 02/28/2024Amazing photos and Complete service!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you LaRon, Mia and crew!!! I found you at the Bridal Bazaar in San Diego and knew a fabulous deal when I saw it. Your photos are amazing and then the ultimate package I received allowed me to be able to cross off having to find additional vendors. LaRon was a perfect officiant and really took the time to get to know the kids and what they wanted. Also DJ Guy was so fun and offered a lot of added extras to make our evening run smoothly. We are still reviewing the over 3K photos taken at the wedding since we just can't decide which ones we love the most. We love all of them! Thank you so much for such an incredible service to document this entire year for my daughter and son-in-law! Amazing. 100 stars!!!!! -

Brooklin Sent on 01/07/2024An Extraordinary Elopement Experience
WOW! Where do we begin, PKA photography made our experience extraordinary and so dreamy. We chose to elope last minute and happened to stumble across Mia! She was so easy to talk to and was very communicative leading up to our special day. Mia arrived at our destination (Windansea Beach, CA) extra early to scope out the best spots for soft lighting! Our pictures came out amazing, we were thrilled to show them to our friends and family. After sharing our vows, we had a lux picnic set up that we wanted captured. Mia did such a great job at capturing the real life moments -- she just let us do our thing and encouraged us to be in the present in the moment! We spent a total of 4 hours together -- two hours of portraits and two hours of capturing our lux picnic. Thank you PKA photography for making our elopement so special and memorable!

Nicole K. Sent on 11/16/2023Beyond Expectations: A Heartwarming Journey with PKA Photography
Wow! I started by reaching out to PKA and speaking with Mia. Mia is the kindest, sweetest person you will ever meet. She let my then fiancé, his mom, and I come over to meet her and her husband LaRon and see some of their work in person. They even offered additional services like helping to find a wedding dress or officiate! We had our engagement photo shoot with the two of them. Both of us feel fairly awkward and nervous in front of a camera and Mia guided us every step of the way. The photos turned out AMAZING. The day of our wedding we had both Mia and Nafas. Nafas is equally as kind and sweet as Mia. They are both so skilled in their craft and interacted with guests and family wonderfully. We got multiple sneak peak photos within 48 hours of the wedding and let me tell you... STUNNING!!! I cannot wait until the rest of them are retouched! PKA's service was top notch and they also worked with us to stay within our budget. Mia also always answers right away! Don't hesitate and book PKA photography for your wedding! -

Maria B. Sent on 12/06/2023Perfect wedding day coverage!
PKA photography was the best choice my husband and I made for our wedding day. From the beginning, communcation flowed, we understood timelines (and they were very understanding when we had to adjust them last minute), and everyone was incredibly supportive and helpful the whole time. We had Nafas with the bride before the ceremony, and she took gorgeous getting ready photos, even though the house was chaos, she was incredibly patient and understanding! Mia and LaRon met us at the church for more photo coverage as well as video, and they did an absolutely amazing job. The photos came out beautifully, and the mic was hidden so well on the groom that the bride didn't know until the ceremony had ended! They took great care in capturing the ceremony from every angle, and it came out amazingly. We then went to take photos in Balboa Park's cactus garden, and Nafas and LaRon took beautiful photos, were super considerate and very patient with posing and guidance, and made us feel very comfortable! The photos came out amazing, and we are so excited for the video! And the reception. oh my gosh the reception. LaRon and Mia were somehow everywhere at all times and took awesome photos of so many things we didn't get to witness ourselves! They were thorough, they were kind, and they were EVERYWHERE. They took such care in getting the photos done and we could not appreciate them more. Turnaround time for our photos was also very quick! We had the unedited photos available to us within two days, and our first round of edited photos less than two weeks after. They have been so so amazing, from beginning to end, for any events or moments we want photographed, we will be coming to PKA. -

I got married in October 2024 and we had the pleasure of working with Mia. Her fun energy was what we needed to calm our nerves. All our guests and bridal party couldn't get over how great Mia was. Outside our church ceremony, she captured all our guest together, was so impressed how easily she was able to gather our guest so quickly.
Planning a wedding requires you to trust so many different vendors and for any brides thinking of booking Mia, you won't be disappointed, she's going to capture the perfect shot. -
