About Lauren & Toby | Wishwell Wedding Photography San Diego

The people behind the camera

Fifteen years, a thousand weddings, one way of working

We’re Lauren and Toby — and we’ve built a small team that shoots the way we do.

Couple at golden hour

Our story

It started with the two of us

and it still feels that way

Since 2010 we’ve had the honor of photographing and filming over a thousand weddings. Lauren leads our photography. Toby leads photography and film. Somewhere along the way we built something bigger than the two of us: a small, hand-picked team of artists who shoot, direct, and edit with the same eye and the same heart Wishwell was built on.

Every photographer and filmmaker on our team was trained in our style and personally chosen by us — for their eye, their warmth, and the way they show up for couples on the most important day of their lives. No matter who’s standing in your room on your wedding day, you’re getting Wishwell.

Trusted beyond the wedding day

The couples who invite us back

Some of the greatest compliments we get aren’t words at all — they’re the couples who bring us back into the next chapters of their lives.

We photographed one couple’s wedding at Lakehouse Resort in San Marcos — a venue we’re still proud to be a preferred vendor at — and in the years after, we documented their maternity session and their newborn photos as their family grew.

“The photos turn out beyond what we could have ever dreamed of — we have them up all over our house.”
