About

I’m Cavin, an international wedding film photographer based in San Diego. My inspiration comes not only from beautiful aesthetics like old-world European architecture and the fine arts, but also from my incredible couples and the love they share for each other. As a boutique studio I love to connect with each and every one of my couples so that they feel truly at-ease and comfortable with me every step of the way. My style of organic posing and my ability to loosen up anybody in front of my camera gives my images a romantic, authentic, and dreamy look.

As a photographer who fully believes in the value of client education, I published a book that teaches brides how to make the most out of their wedding photography and have magazine worthy images entitled A Bride’s Guide to a Picture Perfect Wedding. My passion for helping my clients make the most out of their photos has often been described as one of their favorite things about working with me!

Amazing experience and beautiful photos!

We had a small/intimate wedding but photography was one of the most important aspects for us. I came across Cavin's work and knew that I wanted to have her photograph our wedding. Her photos are all nothing short of stunning, and every other photographer's work I browsed after seeing hers paled in comparison! (not even kidding).

Cavin was professional, flexible, communicative and responsive, ultra organized and seriously on top of everything from the beginning. As someone who prefers to plan ahead and early for things, particularly as ours was a destination wedding, I truly appreciated that she was so on top of things. This made SUCH a big difference in my wedding planning experience. As a bride, you really want to be informed about what to expect, instead of having to chase down your vendors asking them for more information (unfortunately, I found the latter to be a common experience with some of my other vendors). Cavin was so on top of things and proactive about the process, sending us helpful tips, guidelines, questionnaires, information on what to expect, and little things to do to prepare for photos, for both our engagement shoot and in anticipation of the wedding day, and sending this information well in advance so you know what to expect! She is also extremely thoughtful and attentive to detail. For example, when I mentioned it would be helpful to see the photo albums in person, she remembered to bring them a few months later to our engagement shoot. She also noticed little details in the process of creating our wedding album and gave us her tips and suggestions in creating the design and layout, which was invaluable (we haven't received the album yet but so excited for it and sure that it will be amazing!).

I always felt at ease, knew that everything would be taken care of and that I did not have to worry that she would handle all photography-related things (all the other reviews for her really are true! this peace of mind and trust in a vendor is such an invaluable thing when you are trying to plan a wedding).

On the day of our wedding, I felt completely at ease about our photography. I knew I did not have to worry and that Cavin would do her thing, and she did not disappoint!!!! We absolutely LOVE our photos, and all our friends and family have also commented on how amazing and talented our photographer is!

As a person, we found Cavin super pleasant to work and interact with!! She is really friendly, kind and easy to talk to, and made all our friends and family feel very comfortable at the wedding. She provides a lot of direction and gently guides you with posing if you feel awkward at all in front of cameras.

TLDR- Highly, highly recommend hiring Cavin as your wedding photographer!!! Her attention to detail, thoughtfulness and professionalism, and last but not least her incredible photography skills guarantee that you will have a positive, worry-free experience, be very well taken care of and receive stunning photos and memories of your wedding.

Wedding September 2019

Cavin is seriously the best photographer! I saw her instagram page when I started planning my wedding and I fell in love with her talent. She is honestly so professional and knows what she's doing. I was not nervous about my pictures at all on my wedding day because I trusted her work. She doesn't take million pictures of the same pose but she really tries to capture the best moment and really help you to look the best during each pose. She led me and made me feel comfortable all night. Thank you Cavin!

I cannot express how Cavin was my best vendor. She kept in touch and was always there with prompt responses for my 100 questions I had. She even sends out emails with tips and tricks from her blog she has written herself. She also helped with our timeline and is very knowledgeable about realistic timeframes (cannot express how important this was/is). Our reception venue has very harsh, warm-toned lighting and it was vital for me to find someone who has done work at that same location and knows how to work around the orange/brown tones which you would NOT be able to tell from the photos Cavin did for us. I am super Type A personality, but I just let her run the show on my wedding day because I trusted her professionalism and skillset. I think what is best about Cavin is that she captures what you want but also knows what to capture. Everything she photographs is done with precision and her editing is beyond beautiful. She is able to elegantly edit her photos, but the colors are still bold and captivating. They are a touch of delicate and a hint of charming. I honestly did not feel the prettiest on my wedding day but Cavin was able to give me a gallery of photos that I am extremely happy with. She is like a fairy godphotographer. Her work speaks for itself. You will not regret booking her. God must love me because I was so fortunate she was available for my wedding date which was extremely popular, 08.18.18.
Best of luck brides!
Special thanks to Cavin. We are so honored to have had you capture our most special day!
FYI- I wrote much more than this on her other links & WeddingWire limited me so check out Google.

Beautiful Photos!

Cavin came to a photo shoot at The Inn at Kelley's Ford in conjunction with a stylized photo shoot. She sent me many pictures of her work from that day and I was amazed at the quality and creativity of the pictures she took. She was easy going and took pictures of whatever we wanted photographed during the 8 hour session. I have since had the opportunity to browse her work and will highly recommend her to anyone for any occasion. Thank you, than you for the pictures , Cavin!!
