If you are wondering how to pick from the endless list of photographers you see online, take this as a sign to book Sage! I asked him to shoot my surprise proposal and I can’t say enough amazing things about him. He got back to me the same day I contacted him and stayed in touch leading up to the big day to go over the plan. I proposed on the beach of the Del Coronado. He showed up early to give insightful advice on where to set up. After she said yes, we had an incredible photo shoot. He did a fantastic job at making my fiancé and I feel comfortable and he put in a lot of work to get the best shots possible. We got our final album in less than 48 hours and we still can’t stop looking at the pictures. Sage made our day so much more special and we can’t thank him enough!
Sage was unbelievable for our surprise proposal in San Diego. He was quick to reach out to me the same day and we quickly got to work on planning the perfect moment. He was pivotal to pulling off an epic surprise and we definitely couldn't have done it without him. He followed it up with taking outstanding pictures and a lighting fast delivery time. We'll have these pictures forever. So glad we booked him!
Sage photographed our wedding and captured our colorful floral theme beautifully. We adore all of our photos -- they are true treasures. Sage is also wonderful to work with -- so responsive, chill, and dedicated to the art of photography. It was a pleasure to have Sage with us on our wedding day!
When my wife and I independently researched potential wedding photographers, we both agreed that we liked Sage’s photos the best. We could not be happier that we decided to hire him! Sage was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is super friendly and responsive, and his work speaks for itself. We could immediately tell during our intro phone call with him that he loves what he does, and he clearly puts the work in by individually editing each photo. We didn’t have a clear vision for what we wanted from our photos, but it wasn’t an issue. Sage coordinated our first look location and led us to some beautiful spots in downtown San Diego for photos before the ceremony, all while keeping us ahead of schedule! Our family and friends had nothing but good things to say about him, and we are thrilled with the photos Sage has provided. We could not have asked for a better photographer!
We met Sage when we decided on a whim to shoot engagement photos last minute before our cross country move from San Diego to East Coast. Turned out to be the best decision! Sage is professional, so responsive, and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera with his genuine, easy going nature. He is passionate about his work and his photos are natural, vibrant, creative, just stunning! We were thrilled he was available for our wedding in Big Sur and he was accommodating for our pandemic postponement. His photos make us relive all the moments from our amazing wedding day. We would highly recommend him and would love to work with him again.
Sage is the best! I cannot say enough good things about him. He is truly talented and has been amazing to work with over the last two years. My husband and I first met Sage in 2019 when he did our engagement shoot. We’ve been lucky enough to work with him a few more times after that for our mini wedding ceremony last year and our postponed wedding celebrations this year.
Sage is professional, easy to communicate with and always responds promptly - definitely a quality that makes a difference during the stress of wedding planning. For people like me, who may be a little camera shy, he does a great job helping you get comfortable in front the of the camera.
The quality of his work is outstanding. He did an amazing job with our engagement shoot and all of our wedding events. We absolutely love our photos, from portraits to candids to his creative/artistic shots - he can do it all! We get so many compliments on our photos from family and friends. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer and can’t wait to have him capture more of our life events in the future!
We cannot thank you enough for the photos and memories we will now have for a lifetime!!!
We especially love and appreciate the creativity, the moments captured and your thorough and consistent communication throughout the process!
From our family to yours, we hope that you continue to remain well and are excited to see your future success!
I literally cannot say enough things about how wonderful Sage was to work with for our wedding and engagement photos. First and foremost, his work is INCREDIBLE. He's incredibly talented and everyone commented on how amazing our photos turned out.
We had to postpone our wedding twice & change venues due to COVID & Sage did not skip a beat. He was on top of it & took the stress out of a really stressful situation - extremely professional, communicative, responsive, understanding, and accommodating. He takes his craft seriously - shows up on time, makes deadlines he commits to, is detail oriented with the shots and editing, and goes above and beyond to ensure you get exactly what you want. The photographer is the most important vendor you hire for your wedding, so do yourself a favor and don't hesitate to book Sage. You won't be disappointed, I promise!
Sage was AWESOME for our August 2020 wedding. He was so kind, professional, and fun!! He was also very kind to our guests and worked so well with our wedding party and our families. We had him capture both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding, and the results from both events was gorgeous. He also sent over our teasers and then the final gallery impressively fast. His work is so creative and classic at the same time and we could not be happier with our wedding photos. You’re the BEST Sage, thank you!!
I have had the pleasure of working with Sage at Justice Photography and am continually impressed by his kindness, his photography skills, and the way he interacts with clients and other vendors. I am continually impressed by his balance between business acumen and ability to connect with clients to produce passionate photos.
By far the number 1 photographer in San Diego.
Truthfully, I don’t know if this review will do any justice (no pun intended) for how awesome and easy it was to work with Sage as our wedding photographer. In fact, we had one conversation over the phone before we even met in person and my wife and I knew that he must be our wedding photographer. His attention to detail along with his thoughtful process for every photo from start to finish makes for an outstanding experience. He is genuinely a great guy and it shows in all the photos we have from our engagement and wedding photos. I would highly recommend him as your photographer for your wedding or any special event.
BEST wedding photographer ever!!! He was punctual, easy going and made me feel at ease(said the girl who hates taking photos). His artistic eye definitely made the photos beyond amazing. If your looking for a photographer, search no further Sage is your guy!!!!!
Sage came up to Los Angeles from San Diego to photograph our wedding at the SmogShoppe. We're absolutely thrilled with the photos -- every one perfectly captures the spirit and personality of the evening. He has such a unique eye when it comes to portraits - the double exposures he does are so cool. I've gotten huge compliments from family and friends. Book him!
Where do I begin? I decided early on in my wedding planning process that I wasn't going to get a videographer to capture my day. Therefore, I needed to make sure my photographer could capture the story of my wedding day in their work. One of the biggest appeals to me was that many of the photographers in the SoCal area work for a company. You may talk to a rep for the company on what you "envision" for your wedding photos, but you don't meet the actual photographer until the day of your wedding. With Sage, we spoke DIRECTLY with UNLIMITED phone calls and emails to make sure he knew exactly what I envisioned for my Pakistani destination wedding in San Diego. He made me feel so comfortable, and from the beginning I knew I picked the right photographer.
Sage is more than a photographer. He is an artist. He is passionate about his work. He is also a perfectionist. He will not deliver a photo, if he himself is not proud of it. He edited every single photo he took that day and turned it into artwork. He captured the story of my day.
In addition, weddings can be stressful and unpredictable. You want to make sure when planning, that you are working with vendors who are understanding, flexible, friendly, cooperative, etc. Four weeks prior to my wedding, I had a family emergency and was unsure until about 14 days prior to the wedding date, if the event would continue as planned. Sage was so understanding and flexible through the process. This quality in a wedding vendor is SO IMPORTANT. I am so grateful to Sage for being so patient with all the wedding preps and unexpected bumps in the road. He was truly a joy to work with.
The day of my wedding, so many of my guests commented on how good Sage was! He was so professional. Our wedding party alone consisted of 100 people...and Sage never seemed overwhelmed. He worked diligently for 10 hours straight on my wedding day. He captured all 200 of my wedding guests. My recommendation to every bride, is to make sure you get a good photographer. You will want your day captured well. And I could not recommend Sage more.
Sage is the man!
From the initial phone call to the final delivery of the photos - everything and anything to do with our photos and Sage was absolutely seamless.
I was a bit nervous bringing a photographer to Mexico for our destination wedding - but lucky for us, we picked the best man for the job. Sage was SO easy to work with. He's trustworthy, punctual, communicative, reliable and is a man of his word.
Sage was booked to arrive in Cabo the day before our wedding. The morning of his flight, the airline system went down and Sage was unable to make the flight due to circumstances beyond his control. Did he call me? NO. Did he reach out to me to figure out how to get to Mexico? NO. Why not? Because he figured it out and did not want to stress me out in any way shape or form. He still arrived as scheduled, a day before the wedding.
Sage flew to Cabo a day before our wedding and scoped out the grounds to find picture-perfect spots. He was so proactive - doing everything he could to make sure our pictures would be stunning come wedding day.
Each and every one of his photos was exquisite. He guided us both through the photos. We hate posing and are not the best at it..at all. I openly told Sage to coach us and tell us what to do - and he was very open to doing so because had we not listened to him, our photos would have been so awkward!!
He was SO FUN to work with. Based off of the photos and the amount of ground he covered, I would have assumed he had a team of 2-3 guys. Nope- he worked alone and I was beyond impressed and thrilled that he fully captured EVERY aspect of the entire event, from close-up images of flowers to every angle of the ceremony to shots from the middle of the dance floor - he did all this without "being in the way". I am still so blown away that he captured so many photos of us throughout the night when I didn't really see him...he was there without being there. Absolutely incredible.
There aren't enough words to describe how thankful we were to have Sage capture the most important day of our lives. He is a true artist, has an eye and creative mind to capture the perfect photo- he's a complete natural. Highly recommend.
I'm a local wedding planner in San diego and I highly recommend Justice Photography to all of my clients. I love working with him so much that I even use him for my personal events.
Sage is not only a talented photographer, he is truly an artist. I always say he's like a ninja (LOL) because he will do what ever to make sure he gets the perfect shot! He also has a calming presence and sense of humor which all coupe needs to have by their side on their wedding day.
You can certainly see that Sage is truly passionate/loves what he does and that comes through in the quality of his work.
I feel very fortunate to have met Sage! His work is beautiful and when I first met him, I immediately felt as though I would be able to trust him with my clients. As a wedding planner my referrals are a direct reflection of myself and my business, so they are not something I give out lightly. Sage is such a pleasure to work with and truly cares about his clients and what is most important to them. He gets to know who they are as people and figures out the best way to represent them on their big day. Cannot wait for the next time I get to work with Sage!
Sage is literally one of the best wedding photographers in all of Southern California. The reason? He’s totally well-rounded. This guy crushes it in natural light, dark rooms and even with exposure light if you’re having a reception at a swanky hotel or outdoors. He’s not only a person I continue to learn from as a fellow wedding photographer, but also as a person who would hire him for any event. He’s worth every penny you spend, especially if photography matters to you.
This is very long overdue (sorry Sage):
Most people book their wedding photographer months, and sometimes years, in advance. Well, most people plan their weddings more than 10 days in advance. We called Sage the night before our wedding. I am dead serious. Luckily he was available and willing to go with the flow.
Meeting Sage moments before our first look was pretty atypical, but I am positive when I say that there was nobody that could have been more professional and kind at the other side of the lens. Not having an engagement shoot or any prior meeting can often be a disadvantage, as the photographer doesn't know you. You don't know how to pose or act natural in front of the camera. Believe me, this is not something that comes easy to everyone. But Sage really did a great job with what he has to work with (us). He was so easy to work with and captured the joy and honest laughter throughout the night with a smile and ease.
There aren't many professional photographers out there that just go with the flow anymore. Many take themselves way to seriously or think they are the best thing since sliced bread (I myself work in a creative industry and have seen this FAR too many times). Sage was extremely pleasant and humble and we were overjoyed with the final photographs. Couldn't have made a better decision the night before our wedding. :)
This button smasher is one of our FAVORITES in San Diego. Not only is he one of the most talented photographers in SD but he also has an amazing connection with our clients. He keeps the day running smoothly and our clients happy, which in turn makes us at ease. Sage and his team are always on time, have the best attitude and are ready to capture the most important moments of your life. I will continue to recommend Justice Photo to all of our new clients and for any future events !
Where to start!! My husband and I really value photography, but were having a problem finding someone who captured the types of images we wanted, while also editing in a way we preferred (my husband didn’t want our images yellow like what’s kind of trendy right now and I wanted lots of color because we were getting married in a botanical garden). What initially drew us to Sage’s photography was the color in his photos and the camera tricks he does.
Sage photographed my wedding late last year and him and his second shooter (Josh) were one of the best vendor choices we could have made. They went above and beyond throughout the entire day (Sage even brought an accident kit just in case anyone wanted gum or needed to sew something, which was totally unexpected), even going so far as to lay in some dirty wet grass to get a certain angle.
This was all great and all... but the one thing I remember was how comfortable Sage made us feel. He was kind, yet blunt at the same time. He told me exactly how to pose, helped keep me relaxed and calm when our timeline was running behind (and then helped get us caught back up so we didn’t have to pay any vendors overtime!), and gave us a big bear hug before departing. We 100% recommend Justice Photography!!!!
I wish I could give Sage 100 gold stars.
We were referred to Sage through a mutual friend. His creative eye and artistic edits had me sold, and I knew I wanted him to be "the one" (photography-wise haha). I looked at pictures of complete strangers and thought, "I want THAT on MY wall."
Sage took our engagement and wedding photos and he is incredibly easy to work with -- he is easy going and does whatever he can to make you feel comfortable and fabulous, and it shows in the pictures. Our family and friends made so many comments about how friendly Sage was and how much respect they had for him for doing whatever it takes to get the shot: sliding on the grass, bending backwards, full on lunge, you name it.
Bonus: After working with Sage, my husband and I feel like we know how to (kind of) pose ourselves for 'gram worthy pictures. On more than one occasion (okay, hella times, especially during our honeymoon), we've said "do what Sage said" or posed ourselves like Sage did.
He sent us sneak peeks so quickly (for engagement and wedding photos), and I found myself emotional after looking at them. It transported me back to my wedding day, and my husband and I were gushing over EVERY. SINGLE. PICTURE. (And we haven't even got the full set yet!) I'll admit it...I was holding back tears, as I repeatedly scrolled through each picture.
Are you sold yet? Because Sage is 100% worth it, but in case you need a few more reasons:
+He is very easy to get in touch with via email or text and responds quickly (I think he always got back to me within a couple hours via email if not sooner)
+You'll have bajillion new and different screen savers for your phone lock screen and home screen (and desktop and email and coffee table...you get the picture, pun intended)
+On the wedding day, Sage is calm and makes the most of every minute he is working to get the best photos possible
+My husband said he loves "everything" about him, and that "he's the complete package." Sounds weird, but so accurate.
We LOVED working with Sage and hope to work with him again. Honestly, I've already decided I want him to take my future babies pictures.
Sage has a great eye for capturing moments. We booked him on short notice, and he drove to Palm Springs to capture our elopement. From the first interaction with him, through to the end, was seamless, fast and professional. We also had our toddler with us. He makes you feel at ease straight away. He is kind and confident, and has everything under control. He offered to drive us around Palm Springs, to some really cool places, (which he researched) These photos are my favorite, which everyone always compliments us on. We would recommend him to everyone.
With so many photographers to choose from, it’s nice to know I made the right decision. Sage had everything under control. I didn’t even look at the itinerary the entire day , and that was nice . Not having to think about the photos was one less thing my wife had to worry about. Sage was so good with my family/ friends (they can be hard lol) and kids ! Thank you again .
Subsequently after a positive experience with Sage shooting our wedding I’ve hired him for family and real estate photos. This guy is a talented photographer and great person.
Anyone can take a picture, but it really takes passion and talent to capture a special moment. Sage has all the qualities you want in a photographer that is going to capture special moments with your family or significant other. Sage took our engagement pictures and made us feel completely comfortable during our shoot. Afterwards, the images we received where breathtaking. We continue to receive compliments on our pictures. If you are looking for someone who is dedicated and passionate for photography, Sage is your guy! We highly recommend him.
Sage has an amazing eye for photography and delivers the most stunning, unique photos. He is extremely easy to work with and keeps the day/schedule moving so smoothly, you’ll never feel rushed. Great wedding photographer!!
Sage is honestly so easy to work with. He really takes your wants and needs into account and then makes sure that you get the experience you deserve. He goes above and beyond to give you an experience that is uniquely your own.
BEST money we spent on the wedding went to Sage, hands down. I didn’t even know that engagement and wedding pictures could be so beautiful and capture the emotions of those special moments. Sage is not just a wedding photographer, he truly is an artist. Also, he is a delight to work with. To start, he was super responsive to emails. In my opinion, that is the first indication of a professional when searching for vendors. Next, we scheduled a face-time meeting and he stressed how important it is to find a photographer you gel with – and we all clicked immediately. Sage shot our engagement shoot which was such a treat. It was so nice to work together before the big day and he was such a goofball to help us honestly smile in photos. Being professionally photographed can be a little intimidating if you haven’t done it before but he made us feel completely comfortable. After seeing how the engagement photos turned out, we knew we could count on him to make the wedding photos spectacular. Which was such a stress-relief because we trusted him implicitly. And when you see him basically scaling walls, sprinting from one side of the room to the other, or telling you to shoot a confetti canon straight at his face – you know he is doing everything he can to get the best shot. You can tell that he loves what he does, and that comes through in his work ethic and photographs. I have already personally recommended Sage to every bride I know and I would hire him again in a heartbeat!
Sage is awesome and seriously went above and beyond!! From the engagement session to the delivery of our wedding photos we were impressed and so very grateful. Sage is fun, artistic, and efficient in that he could handle our crazy families and our 20+ person wedding party. We were able to get all of the shots we hoped for and more. Sage is a real professional and we think the value is without a doubt worth every penny. Thank you so much Sage, you documented our special day with such an eye for detail and emotion in the faces of our loved ones. We love our photos, we couldn't be more satisfied!
Sage was a true pro. His images were amazing (we knew that going into the wedding) but what was so spectacular was how natural he made us feel. You will not be disappointed if you book this amazing human being/artist/photo-genius
Your photographer search ends here! Sage was everything we wanted in a photographer and more. He has this amazing ability to capture the most gorgeous candid shots of your very special day. My husband and I are beyond pleased with how our wedding day was captured. Our portrait shots are gorgeous, and the photjournalistic style candid shots he got of our friends and family bring tears to my eyes. I adore them all and am so so thankful we chose Sage for our special day.
Sage is a very talented photographer! He photographed both our engagement session and our wedding. His photos are very creative and unique. He catches all of the real moments. He is also very professional and easy to work with. We highly recommend Justice Photography!
Sage is a fantastic photographer! He did such a great job at our wedding in Los Angeles. We told him we wanted more candids and less posed pictures and to photograph our wedding however he seemed fit. The end result was everything we wanted and so much more. He captured the vibe of our wedding so perfectly and we couldn't be happier with the images. I highly recommend Sage to anyone looking for outstanding wedding photography.
My wife and I hired Sage for our outdoor, picnic-in-the-park style wedding. We were hesitant to work with him because his rates were more expensive than other photographers we were considering. Ultimately the quality of his portfolio inspired us to pull the trigger. Looking back, we were super glad we did.
Sage was awesome to work with. He is passionate about his work and delicately balances both art and science in his craft. He is also unbelievably committed to getting each shot he envisions. During the ceremony he was leaning up against bushes, squatting down, and running from the altar to the grass -- to ensure he perfectly captured each moment. During the reception, he even got on his back in the grass just so he could get the ideal angle of the lawn games we were playing! He somehow was always in the right place at the right time to capture all of our favorite moments from the day.
Sage went above and beyond. I treated my best man and groomsman to a hot shave the morning of the wedding. When Sage learned of this, he offered to stop by for a few minutes to capture the moment. But Sage, being the consummate professional and artist that he is, ultimately stayed for an hour documenting the whole experience. This was particularly generous of him, given that he wasn't scheduled to begin working with us until several hours later.
Sage was extremely responsive and communicative, which was especially helpful given that we planned our wedding remotely. He was also quick to turnaround photos. Initially he told us we would receive our album 6-8 weeks after the wedding. We received it seven weeks later, and even then he was apologetic for the wait. We originally received electronic access to photos he posted online, and then a week later we received a beautiful box with a USB drive of all photos, as well as about 30 printed 3x5s of his favorites.
Stop looking. You've found your photographer.
Sage was the best thing to happen at our wedding, hands down. Incredible experience and easily the best vendor that we had picked out to celebrate our day. His style of fine art mixed with perfect candids of the day helped us remember the moments and see the ones we missed out on. Couldn't recommend him enough!
My husband and I hired Sage to photograph our wedding in August. Sage was extremely professional. He asked us which photographs we wanted with our wedding party and family. He also provided wonderful assistance for us to pose for our pictures. My husband and I both felt very comfortable with Sage. Sage also did an amazing job capturing the excitement throughout our reception with amazing candid photographs. We were extremely happy with our photographs and how Sage did some in black and white. We would highly recommend Sage!!
Sage was one of our favorite vendors at our summer wedding on 7/22/2016! He always answered emails insanely fast, gave us a ton of helpful information prior to our engagement session and wedding, and didn't stop for a second on our wedding day when taking photographs. We initially booked Sage because we loved his creative portraits, but were blown away by all of the candid moments he took (especially of my dad and I) - which are all priceless. I highly recommend Justice Photography for your wedding!
Sage is a phenomenal photographer. I knew from the first time that I saw his artistic photo-journalistic style that he was someone I'd want to work with, and I'm so glad I did. When you think about it, having your photo taken is a very personal experience (that can easily be awkward). Sage worked with my husband and I to make sure that we both stayed natural, yet comfortable. Instead of having our photos taken with a photographer, it felt more like we were having our photos taken by a friend. Bonus: I slouch a lot, and Sage would give me reminders to adjust my posture. The photos that Sage took turned out absolutely AMAZING, and I couldn't be happier. In addition to his great work, here's what you can expect when working with Sage:
Very quick responses - he WILL make you a priority
Professionalism
Creativity - he is truly an artist that has honed his craft
Speed/Efficiency - Sage is quick, and will be in the background all day. Most of the time you won't even know he's there.
To make a new friend. If you're smart you'll stay in touch with him after your wedding;)
If you're a couple looking to book a photographer for your wedding: you can stop looking - Sage is it! He will easily be the best money you spend on your wedding and I'm happy to recommend his services to everyone.
Sage is a fantastic photographer, with a great eye for detail and he is very passionate about his photography.
We had planned a wedding celebration for all of our friends who could not make the actual wedding in Paris. Sage was referred to us a t the last minuet and I have to say, it was the best decision I made. Sage created an atmosphere in photos. He understood the theme and used his camera to bring the theme to life. The pictures were candied yet you would have thought we went to a studio to create. The guests commented on how he managed to capture everyone as a group and as individual shots with friends and family.
Would I hire him again? ABSOLUTIST I WOULD
Sage is a creative, talented photographer and we ended up with beautiful photos from our wedding this past May! He has a great eye and really understands light. His photos are unique and photojournalistic - a big reason why we chose him. He is professional, timely, and responded quickly to emails and phone calls leading up to our wedding day. We are very pleased with our engagement and wedding photos and enjoyed working with Sage!
Sage was recommended to us by our wedding planner and he was definitely a great fit for our wedding in February! I loved his style and portfolio. Since our wedding was a destination, we didn't have a chance to meet beforehand or do engagement photos. We were both a little nervous obviously, but Sage made taking the photos easy and natural for us. I'm so happy with how everything turned out!
The BEST decision we made for our wedding and engagement photos! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Sage for our June wedding. Sage is incredibly talented and easy to work with. He’s professional and responds quickly to any questions, texts, and emails. His photos alone speak to his amazing work! We were so confident in his ability to capture us and our special day, that it allowed us to be unstressed and enjoy our day that much more. Without a doubt, he exceeded all our expectations! We couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Sage!
Sage photographed our wedding. He did an amazing job capturing the moments and emotions. We loved that he did less staged/portrait shots and more artful and candid pictures. Sage leveraged the natural lights and elements of our venue and surrounding areas. We are so happy with the photos from our day!
Where do I start? Sage was incredibly responsive to emails through the entire wedding planning process – something that was great since a lot of our questions were time sensitive. His prices were a little outside of our budget, but after reviewing other photographers, we realized we liked his style more than anyone else and didn’t care if we had to spend a little extra. He photographed our engagement session and gave us some amazing images to print out for our wedding day. On the day of, he was prompt and arrived with a TON of energy. I have a big family and he was really patient during family photos. He used all of our time really well and his assistant was busy making sure Sage had everything he needed. We were really adamant that we didn’t want any cheesy photos and gave him full artistic freedom to do what he wanted. The end result? An gallery full of GORGEOUS and artistic photos that we will cherish forever. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!
Excellent photography, My brother recommended him for my wedding, it was the perfect fit! My husband and I were married at Magee historical park 258 Beech Street in downtown Carlsbad. He made excellent use of the natural scenery and the beautiful way he suggested our posing for the photographs was gorgeous and really captured every memory.
We both lived in California (separately) So we decided that we should get married there. We flew us and a couple friends and also had mutual local friends meet us in Carlsbad for the wedding. Sage was on time and treated all our guests with respect (they can be rowdy). We were nervous hiring someone across the country but his communication before the wedding put us at ease! He did a great job capturing our fun and intimate wedding!
We absolutely love our pictures and would book Sage for future events. He responds quick to emails which is very helpful and I felt like he really cared about getting the best shots at our wedding.
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Sage and Kevin for our June wedding. From the beginning Sage was very easy to work with--he made time to meet with us and answer our questions. He was able to provide good feedback and insight in regards to the timing of our event.
On the day of our wedding, Sage and Kevin showed up on time and worked throughout the event to capture all the memories from our special day. In addition to the professionalism, Sage is incredibly talented. He was able to think of unique and yet, beautiful shots on the spot. Seeing the amazing work that Sage had produced for other couples I was very eager to see what our photos would be like. When they arrived, I was so elated. The photos were a perfect blend of touching candids and artistic portraits. I am so happy that I was able to work with Sage and Kevin for the special event. I would highly recommend Justice Photography for other couples looking to have more than the traditional set of wedding photos.
We absolutely love Sage and his beautiful work. Sage did our wedding photos, and wedding celebration photos, and we loved each and every photo. Sage has such creative style, and he is extremely easy to work with. If I sent him an email, he would get back to me within minutes. He was also able to capture every memorable moment, and now we will have them forever. We will definitely use Sage next time we need a photographer, and we will recommend him to everyone.
We first hired Sage to film our family and capture a few engagement shots as a test before we fully committed to him shooting our wedding. Our experience was wonderful. Sage brings a professionalism and personalization to his work that strike the perfect balance. Needless to say, we did, indeed, asked Sage to travel a couple of hours away to shoot our wedding. He negotiated a very fair price for his travel and accommodations and joined us for our celebratory event. Because Sage chose to travel on a bus tour we'd arranged for our guests, he even shared with us the candid photos and 'extras' he shot along the way. At the event, Sage was able to get the essential shots while also focusing on the in-the-moment fun we requested. We wed at a private venue in Mexico and the timeliness of the wedding night festivities was not anyone's top priority, but Sage stuck it out for additional time to make sure he captured the key events. We've been equally impressed with Sage's follow up and timeliness with photos, blogs, emails, etc. We have already recommended Sage to many of our friends and we will work with Sage again in the future.
Sage was the perfect photographer to work with on our engagement photos and wedding day. We had been scouring the internet looking for a photographer who had a timeless style that would look great in a wedding album for years to come. We also wanted someone whose skill and creativity translated into the photos but didn't overpower them or make them feel cheesy. Sage's work is all those qualities. At the first meeting to discuss his packages he was professional and kind. He listened to the specific things that we knew we wanted and the few things we didn't want. The engagement shoot was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to get comfortable and crack a few jokes. It's weird having your picture taken for an hour straight so it really helped that he had an awesome personality and we could just be ourselves. The shots we got from that day are STUNNING (and I'm not just talking about how good I look). On the day of the wedding, as you would imagine, things got very stressful. We had many last minute changes and things missing but throughout all the fuss Sage was calm. Him and his team kept the directions clear and made it easy to breath and capture the moments we'd asked for. Overall it was a blast to work with him and his team. Booking him as a vendor was one of the wedding planning decisions we never had to second guess. Our photos from that day are breathtaking and we couldn't be happier with his work.
Thank you Sage for being a dedicated and truly talented individual. It was a pleasure!

My husband and I hired Sage to photograph our wedding reception and we are so happy we did!
We loved every single picture he took/sent us and our family was really happy with the photos as well. We also got a lot of compliments from our friends - which could have just been them being nice but we still think he did a superb job.
While trying to pick through so many photographers my husband and I had two priorities: budget and style. Sage was willing to work within our budget and tailored a package that fit it and included everything we wanted. Although Sage wasn't the cheapest photographer we found, we realized we were willing to pay a little extra for great pictures that will last us a lifetime. After all, you'll never be able to redo the wedding but you can always save money somewhere else.
As for style, we really liked Sage's more than anything we saw. His blog and website have great samples of his work and his photo-journalistic style felt very original compared to most other wedding photography. We didn't want anything too cheesy or cookie-cutter and that's why we picked him.
Sage is extremely professional and was very timely in responding to emails, texts, and calls. He also had to deal with my family (and myself) showing up late to our pre-reception photoshoot and he was still able to take a lot of great pictures of all of us.
I have nothing but good things to say about Sage and our experience working with him. We also love the wooden USB drive that we got with all our photos! :)
I found Sage on this website and was immediately impressed with what I saw. I sent a request for him to contact me and he got back to me right away and we set up a meeting. Sage is very down to earth, you can tell he is super passionate about his work, and that he really wants to make sure you are happy. My husband was hesitant to spend the money on photos at first, but after meeting and talking with Sage he was convinced. Sage checked in with us prior to the wedding multiple times to make sure he had all the information he needed from us for the wedding. He responded to every email the same day, if not minutes after I sent it. Day of he was on time with his second photographer Leo, who was also amazing. You could tell both of them were having as much fun as the wedding party while being professional, patient and kind to our family and friends. We did a photo shoot the day after on the beach instead of the engagement shoot. Sage was again on time, had really awesome ideas for poses and great angles. Not to mention 5 days after the wedding I asked him for a few pictures that we had taken with the idea to use them as our thank you cards. I sent him an email asking if there was any ways to get those before the quoted 6 weeks. He sent me 6 awesome pictures 10 minutes later! 6 weeks later we got an email letting us know he was almost done and photos would be on the way soon. A few days later we got an email with a tracking number for the USB that he puts photos on for you as well as a link to some photos that we could share right away. I hope I don't have to say this by now, like I said, this is the photographer you have to have! He is more than worth the money in every way possible, I could go on raving about him forever, and I do to everyone I talk to! Book him now!
We spent a LOT of time combing through photographers on all the wedding websites. What we found was cookie-cutter photographs that were overly priced, with photographers that seemed distant to the subjects… and then we found Sage. We were attracted to the fact that sage offers a large variety of affordable packages with a true eye for his subjects. His photojournalistic style appealed to us and what we received far eclipsed our expectations. From the first meeting we had a great connection with Sage, and what followed were published blog pages, thousands of compliments and a lifetime of us admiring the engagement and wedding photographs. We recommend the engagement photo session, which provided us the opportunity to gel with Sage and merge our expectations with his methods. The engagement photo session was invaluable, in that it laid the groundwork for a relaxed and easy-going wedding day. On our wedding day, he worked tirelessly. His detailed eye is the reason we have so many unique photographs that we absolutely love! Bottom-line: Sage is fast becoming a sought after photographer, if he’s available, book him immediately. His charismatic personality coupled with a rare artistic eye easily makes him the best wedding photographer in the San Diego area.
I absolutely love Sage and his work. He did our engagement photos and our wedding this past July and did a fantastic job. When my sister got married 10 years ago we were totally let down by her photographer so the process of finding a photographer we could trust was nerve wracking. Thank God I found Sage! He is easy to contact if you have any questions and helped ease the stress of wedding planning. He is reasonably priced, responsible, professional, and incredibly talented. I just got our wedding photos back and I could cry at how beautiful they are. They're everything I could ask for and was able to catch the fine details I knew I would probably not remember. Would definitely book him in the future to do our family photos.
When I saw Sage's website, I knew immediately that I wanted him as our wedding photographer. His pictures are so amazing and beautiful and by far, he was the easiest vendor to work with out of all the people we were dealing with. He responds promptly to texts and emails, he's flexible, and he's always very positive which is nice. Our wedding pictures turned out so gorgeous, I can't say enough good things about Sage and Justice Photography. Don't look any further - get Justice Photography!!!
We hired Sage for our wedding. He was wonderful! He was flexible, prompt, professional, and passionate about capturing all of our amazing emotions/moments of our wedding! Our wedding and engagement photos turned out stunning! He even gave us the most adorable USB drive and a thank you note! He goes above and beyond! Great work ethic combined with his skill as a photographer was a phenomenal find! We heard many compliments from our guest about him as well! He is pleasant to work with and I would highly recommend him! He worked his butt off for our photos and we will always treasure the images he captured!! A diamond in the rough for sure! One very satisfied costumer!!!
We got married April 5, 2014 in Carlsbad, California. My husband and I were planning our wedding from across the country so we never actually got to meet Sage until the day of the wedding. Right from the start, we loved his style and were excited to hear back. With a quick response we met over Skype and booked right away. He was very thorough with the consultation and got a feel for exactly what we wanted.
Fast forward to the day of the wedding and without working together before, it was easy to feel relaxed and comfortable around him. He was so creative from the pictures getting ready, to the first look, and on to the end of the night. He captured every emotion at any given time and couldn't have done a better job. My family jokingly called him the the picture ninja because one minute he was here then would be across the room in a blink of an eye. One of the most important things is Sage was right on schedule and did a great job with the hours we had.
We received the photos in great timing and were speechless. He took so much time to perfect every picture. Not to mention the USB and box it came in made it so convenient to share and makes a great keep sake as well. We truly love every bit of Sage's work and would recommend him to anyone and everyone. We actually found him from reading reviews, not recommended from family or friends, and each and everyone is true. He did and amazing job and truly talented!
Sage did the photography for my wedding on March 15th 2014. My wife was referred to him via a friend and loved his previous work. He was great! Very polite, professional, and responsive when it came to emails and calls before the event. The photos were, of course, amazing. My family and friends loved them, and he even gave us digital versions of them. But the best part? He came all the way down to Houston, Texas to do our wedding photography! Really a great guy and an amazing photographer; I cannot recommend him enough.
Sage was always available, courteous, kind, and sensitive to what we wanted our photos to be like, He was professional, responsible, and a perfectionist, all of which were important to us on our wedding day. We got almost immediate "sneak peeks" and then all the photos electronically before we even returned from our honeymoon! No waiting around for months to see the big day. I have no complaints!
My husband and I hired Sage to do our engagement photos and our wedding day. He is the most attentive vendor to work with. Almost instant response to emails and texts. Our budget was limited but we knew how important the photos would be to us so we did a lot of research and after researching over 50 photographers in San Diego we decided on Sage based on interviewing him in person and because he was willing to customize a plan for us, within out budget. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out amazing. I would recommend him to any couple who may be apprehensive about working with a wedding photographer to go see Sage. You won't regret it!
My wife and I were referred to Justice Photography by my friend who also had their wedding pictures done by Sage.
Now, I should say that the two of us and our families are not really "picture people" so to speak, but just as he did during our engagement photos, Sage made us feel so comfortable throughout the day. He also helped us in a lot of little ways, like helping us figure out our tux flowers, and even telling us where to cut our cake.
We have seen our digital gallery for a while now, and get compliments from everyone who sees them. My wife loves them because she never believed she would look like the bride in a magazine, but he made it happen time and time again.
We went through the final steps of completing our album recently and just received it along with our prints and are extremely pleased, the quality of the photos and the album itself is stunning.
All in all, I would highly reccomend Justice Photography to anyone looking to have their wedding captured in a unique and personal way.
Sage, with Justice Photography, did my wedding on March 16th, 2013 and he was incredible. I was not from San Diego and I found him on-line so I was very nervous. From the first time Sage and I talked on-line my worries all went away. Sage has an amazing personality and was very easy to work with. My wedding pictures are constantly being talked about and I love showing them off to everyone!!! I will definitely be making trips out to San Diego just so he can do future events!!
