Hugo & Kat Photography & Film

hotographer canceled on us due to her uncle's death with no notice. We totally understood but knew we needed to find someone we trusted right away. I remember I had reached out to Hugo & Kat before I had hired our original photographer (and loved them) but had chosen to go with the other photographer (mostly based on a number of Instagram followers), which, in hindsight, was a mistake. 4 days before our wedding I called Hugo, and he was fortunately available and we got booked right away. Not only was his pricing way more affordable, but he also included a second shooter! The LA fires hit (my family lives in LA) our wedding week was wild, to say the least, but we got down to San Diego for the big day. I had never met Hugo & Parker (Kat was very ill) and didn't know what to expect. As someone who doesn't love having their photo taken, I was a little nervous, but Hugo & Parker put me, my husband, and our guests right at ease. They were so fun, interactive, professional, and efficient, and they really brought the energy! They felt like a part of the family, totally integrated into the day, capturing every tiny moment. It was seamless, easy, and so fun to work with them. We had a perfect wedding day, so much of that is owed to Hugo & Paker. When I got the sneak peeks back (24 hours after the wedding!!!) I SOBBED! I had never seen such beautiful photos. I felt so pretty, and we looked so happy. These were truly the pictures of my bridal Pinterest dreams! I'm not someone who usually leaves reviews, but I knew I needed to let all SO CAL brides know that Hugo & Kat are the BEST wedding photographers out there. I don't have a single critique. I'm just so immensely grateful for their willing hearts and positive energy and the photos that I will cherish forever. You best bet that the second I'm pregnant I will be flying back to LA to schedule a maternity shoot, haha! Book Hugo & Kat, I promise you, you will be so grateful you did!

ough for being so flexible.

so fun and relaxing. We look so happy and carefree in all the pictures which is exactly how we want it because we don’t really like posed pictures. The communication was great, they were punctual and the turnaround time was great as well. Overall, we would highly recommend these two amazing people! They will work hard in creating the best pictures for you!

seriously incredible. And the pictures (all 215 of them) came back to us in exactly 2 weeks as promised and I literally have been staring at them all day; I literally can’t believe it’s actually us! But not only that, he went above and beyond to make us feel so comfortable. My fiancé and I came to California to take some fun engagement pictures but being in a unfamiliar environment with an unfamiliar photographer, we were so nervous and worried that our pictures might end up looking awkward. Y’ALL, that literally changed the second we met Hugo. We were greeted with hugs and Hugo was so chill and fun to be around. At the end of the evening, Hugo provided us with snacks and we all were able to watch the sunset together and have good conversation. My fiancé and I felt a genuine friendship with Hugo by the end of the shoot. Thanks a million Hugo. You’re literally the best.
