Meet Stephanie & Son
Hi, we're Stephanie & Son Le—a husband-and-wife photography team serving San Diego, Orange County, Riverside County, and destinations throughout Southern California. Whether you're planning a local celebration or a destination experience, we're always happy to travel wherever your story takes you.
We specialize in surprise proposals, engagement sessions, civil courthouse weddings, elopements, and weddings. These aren't just photo sessions to us—they're once-in-a-lifetime moments that deserve thoughtful planning, genuine guidance, and photographs you'll cherish for generations.
Stephanie discovered her love for photography at a young age, while Son naturally found his place behind the scenes, helping create beautiful light, meaningful compositions, and unforgettable experiences. In 2021, after being furloughed from our careers during COVID, we took a leap of faith. We invested everything we had into building the business we'd dreamed about for years—and we've never looked back.
Today, with more than a decade of photography experience, we've helped hundreds of couples plan and preserve some of the most meaningful days of their lives. Whether you're planning a surprise proposal overlooking the Pacific, exchanging vows at a historic courthouse, eloping somewhere breathtaking, or celebrating your wedding with everyone you love, we'll guide you through every step—from location recommendations and timelines to planning support and natural posing—so you can simply be present in the moment.
Our approach is relaxed, personal, and built on trust. We believe the best photographs come from real emotion, authentic connection, and creating an experience where you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera.
No matter where your story begins, we'd be honored to travel with you and preserve it for generations to come.
