Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Artistic Pro Photography is a special event photographer in San Diego, CA. We are an excellent and experienced photographer and videographer for weddings, engagements, graduations, social events, family portraits, advertisement work, modeling, and candid photos. We are on Yelp, Knot, and Wedding Wire. We have all 5 star reviews from our clients. We also received two awards - the Best of Weddings Award from the Knob and the Couple's Choice Award from Wedding Wire. Our wedding special starts at $1,300 for 8 hours wedding photography plus videos of important moments. Therefore, you don't need to hire a seperate videographer to save a lot of money. You will receive all photos with no extra. Most other photographers are charging you extra for photos over the quantity and many people ended up paying $5,000 to $8,000 total and another $3,000 for their videos. We can save you a lot of money for similar or even better photos and videos. Our quality of photos are top rated and artistic and romantic and our prices are the most affordable. I have been a lifetime photography hobbyist since I was a teenager when I bought my first manual SLR camera. I enjoy taking pictures and playing around with different advanced equipment.

I am an excellent and experienced photographer for weddings, engagements, and family portraits. I have been a lifetime photography hobbyist since I was a teenager. I am confident that my work is just as good or even better than what you paid $3000 for the most professional photographers for a wedding. I am using a top-notch full frame Nikon camera with top notch Nikon lenses. I also have a Sony 4K camcorder that can record excellent 4K videos. I have the most affordable rate because I am new making money on wedding photography.

I write this review with much joy, thanks, and admiration for Wellington's outstanding work. He played a key part of making my surprise proposal an amazing event, and it was nothin...
g short of miraculous.
Wellington's expertise, excitement, and knowledge for the task at hand was evident from our first discussion. He responded to my requests in timely manner and was able to meet up with me in person prior to the surprise proposal! I know he was genuinely interested in our narrative and clearly wanted to capture the essence of our journey in the most authentic way possible.
Me and My now Fiancee love the pictures he has taken for us! Thank you Wellington!!

My wife and I hired Wellington for both an engagement shoot as well as for our wedding day and we are absolutely in love with the results. He has an exceptional eye behind the came...
ra and his photography style is artistic but also captures the truly special moments. We were blown away by the portfolio he delivered to us after the wedding. He seemed to be everywhere at once. He captured so many amazing moments from our big day. The knowledge and experience that he brings to the table is invaluable as well. I know he is new as a small business but he seems to know a lot about photography and he is passionate about it as a hobby. We appreciated how he was able to work within our budget but also was able to provide realistic timelines and photo locations.
Cannot say enough good things about the photos that Wellington delivered, and it was a delight working with him. I would not hesitate for a second to hire him for another event.
Any questions?

After much research and requested quotes from about 30 photographers. We found Artistic Pro Photography and Wellington to be within our budget and below it. We were both skeptical ...
at first, so we took the engagement session first. Wellington took us to a resort just 3 days after our request. The resort is beautiful with a duck pond and a beach. We had a fun time posing for him. He asked us to do multiple poses at the resort. The photos came out fabulously. We love his many poses. I showed off them to my friends and my parents. They all love them. I then booked them for our wedding. We were happy with his flexibility and ability from start to finish - everything from putting a photo/video package together, to understanding what we wanted, to wedding timeline feedback, to their unobtrusive and seamless participation day of. He took our photos, and his wife took our videos. We enjoyed the attention to detail they had. They got nearly every moment we asked for.
They delivered in the number and quality of photos. The video also came out well and very sharp at 4K. One of our biggest joys was that we didn't even have to wait to see the images - we got them just 2 days after our wedding! We would 100% recommend Wellington and his wife Sarah. Their price is also 5 stars. You cannot find such a good deal.

I first met Wellington at my best friend's wedding as a bridesmaid a few months ago. I saw the wedding photos of my best friend afterward. It was then that I knew who I wanted to ...
photograph my wedding. When my boyfriend and I decided to get married after the pandemic, I didn't do any research and emailed Wellington right away to book him for our wedding. Our wedding was just this month, and I can't tell you how effortless it felt to work with Wellington of Artistic Pro and his wife as a videographer. His attention to detail and warm personality made taking photos so much fun and everything felt so natural. Look no further, Artistic Pro is the new small business you must book for your special day. Their prices are very affordable too because I know some weddings need to pay $7,000 to $10,000 for photos and videos after all the add on. Their expensive photos and videos are almost guaranteed to be the same or not as good as Wellington. I received our photos and videos in the gallery in just a few days and they are all beautiful.
Thank You again for making our day so incredibly special!

I have the most beautiful photos from my wedding thanks to Artistic Pro Photography and specifically because of our talented photographer. At first, we want to save money by not us...
ing a professional photographer. I even didn’t wear a formal wedding dress for the wedding because my husband and I don’t want a big wedding. My Iphone 14 could take great photos, right! My friends have Samsung phones and Iphones. They could take nice photos for us in the wedding. However, my bridesmaids were disappointed. We hired Artistic Pro on short notice to satisfy my bridesmaids. It turned out they gave us five star quality photos at one star price because they are new. I cannot recommend Wellington and Artistic Pro Photography enough! They gave me my photos so quickly, and all the photos are just absolutely stunning. My bridesmaids are very happy too. We cannot take such good photos with our iPhones.

I don't usually write any review on anything but I am making an exception this time because it was the biggest day of my life. I would hire Artistic Photography all over again! Wel...
lington and Sarah paid attention to every detail throughout the wedding process and gave me some good advice that even our wedding manager missed. They shot our engagement photos and we had a blast. He used a professional strobe light for our photos for outdoor that I had never seen from other photographers. I had been a bridesmaid 4 times before so I had seen other photographers at other weddings. The photos and the posts were to our liking and their prices were excellent so we hired them to do the photo and video for our wedding. At first, our wedding manager strongly recommended another photographer and another videographer they worked with. Therefore, I went with their recommendations but just booked their photographer only. I just asked my friend to take some videos on her phone. I guess they want to get some more commissions. Their photographer and videographer were charging something like $3000 each. I don't have a rich parents, my husband and I had to pay for most of the expenses. We had already used the catering, the wedding chapel, the DJ, and the flowers recommended by the wedding manager. We ran out of money for their photographer. We tried to save some money by finding a cheaper company and found Artistic Photography. They are good people with good equipment, good photos and good videos, and good services but they were new in this business. He volunteered many weddings before for his friends and relatives and have good photos. Since they charge only $600 more for the video, I asked them to do both.
On the wedding day, they captured moments we didn't even see, arranging posts, using good lighting equipment, and things to make each shot perfect without photo editing. The video was stunning and helped us relive our special day from start to finish. They helped to arrange the photo taking process for all guests that made the entire day less stress. They bought in a studio type of lightbox and strobe to make the group photos much better than ordinary flash photos and cell phone photos. Sarah the videographer was friendly with the family and even
reminded guests to stop and take photos in the photobooth and sign the guestbook. We watched 10 times over for those videos. We took photos in the photobooth (not just the normal photobooth with props but for taking photos with bride and groom) with most of the guests and they are all very happy with their photos. The guests can order their photos online through a photo sharing site (I guess Artistic Pro make extra money off that but that is OK, I guess all other photographers do that) so we don't have to worry sending them photos one by one. We received our photos and about one hour of videos just 2 days later and we viewed them online during our flight out to Hawaii.
I recommend Artistic Photo and Video for all their services and the great photos at a great price. They don't nickle and dime us to the death like other photographers. My friend was charged $7000 total by her photographer when originally quoted around $3000. I just paid them one fix quoted price and nothing afterward. They gave me all the photo files so I took it to Costco to print them out to make my own photo albums. Thank you all so much for everything you did to make our day so special and capture the memories that will live on!

Artistic Pro Photography saved our wedding, quite literally. Two weeks before our wedding, our photographer cancelled on us last minute, and did not help us find a replacement. We ...
searched on Knot and Wedding Wire and found Artistic Pro. They have good prices, and they are available on my wedding date. Wellington was extremely prompt in replying to us, really showcased his empathy and helped us work through the cancellation while presenting options. He was always extremely prompt when replying, especially considering the urgency of the situation. We tried out the engagement portraits first the next day. He took us to Balboa Park and we have some of the best photos we ever have. We used two of the photo and made large canvas prints to display at the wedding. We locked in the photo/video all day package a few days before, as we were very happy with their samples. I learned that he was an engineer for many years with photography and videography as his hobbies. He took many weddings for friends from his church.
On the day of, the husband and wife team from Artistic Pro arrived promptly and were extremely patient and attentive. We have a half Indian and half western theme wedding. Even we are mostly Indian, they worked well with our wedding party and guests, setting up shots, coordinating, and generally just being great to work with. They are also immigrants from Hong Kong so they didn’t have as much a cultural shock. They worked hard covering all aspects of the ceremony and reception. Even though they weren't able to eat until very late because the venue didn't make the vendor meals, they were understanding and worked extremely hard to capture everything.
Our wait for the photos and videos was much shorter than anticipated, and they came out great! The photos are great and many of the posts are creative. They put the photos on Pixieset for all the guests to order prints and gave us all the photo files. The videos are also good and basically recorded all the main events in 2 hours of videos in 4K TV quality. We had watched again and again many times. We didn’t pay the extra for a 10 minutes highlight film.
All in all, they were wonderful, great price, good value, and they are highly recommended!
