Greg is an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING photographer. As a managing director at a PR firm, I work with several high-profile, highly-discerning clients including CEOs and celebrities. We hired Greg to shoot several of our events. He was easy to work with and the clients were POSITIVELY THRILLED with the photos.

You’d be silly not to hire Greg for your photography needs! He has so much experience and so much raw artistic talent - he captured our event with really stunning photos. We searched for a long time to find the right photographer and ultimately decided to go with Greg after seeing the richness of his work - brilliant vivid colors and an artistic eye. In addition to the raw talent, Greg and his beautiful wife Jennifer were such a pleasure to work with - so genuine and sincere. They took so much stress out of the day by being easy going despite the fact that we were running late. They were also

Greg photographed our work sites and employees for over a year, building a library of images for use on our website and in our social media efforts. He was tasked with telling our story visually and did so with creative and stunning photographs. If that wasn't enough -- he built our website and wrote all of the content. Greg is accommodating, easy to work with and generally a great guy. You can find his work here: https://www.cityelectricworks.com/

I had the pleasure of working with Greg Nelsen Photography during a recent event for one of my clients. I work for a public relations agency and our client needed a photographer for a very important event in L.A. I knew I had to deliver. After looking at numerous portfolios, I decided Greg would be perfect for the event. I was right. He captured the event without being intrusive. His photos were amazing and my client was thrilled with him. And, he was really easy to work with.

Every aspect of our experience with Greg & Jennifer was beyond amazing! Thank you both so much for your attention, true eye for the art of photography, and especially for the amazing shots! Greg and Jennifer were very friendly and professional right from the beginning. My husband & I were impressed with their attentiveness and quick response throughout the wedding planning, and both were exceptionally helpful on our special day! We were planning a wedding from out-of-state, but Greg made the process that much easier. They even took the time to scope-out our wedding venue and reception site so as

We have had several wonderful experiences working with Greg. He has shot our family pictures for a few years now at different locations in the San Diego area, including Presidio Park and La Jolla cove. Greg has been timely, professional, and easy going. Whenever we got engaged we knew Greg was our only choice for engagement and wedding photos. During our engagement session at Balboa Park Greg would crack jokes at just the right time to give my fiancé and I the genuine smiles that we wanted in our photographs. Leading up to the wedding, Greg patiently worked with us to create a family shot list

Greg and Jennifer are phenomenal professionals and my wife, Laura and I are so happy we selected them to be our Photography team at our wedding in June, 2016. Laura met Greg at a bridal show and was impressed with his work and his personality. As we were working on selecting a photographer for our big day, we set up a meeting at Greg's house and met with Greg and Jennifer. After that meeting, where we got to know them better and saw many samples of their work, we decided that Greg and Jennifer were the right selection! Naomi and Greg photographed our wedding and Jennifer was key in coordinating

Greg Nelsen Photography:
What can we say about Greg? Except Greg and his wife, Jennifer, are awesome! We hired Greg to take our engagement and wedding photos and are so glad we did. Greg has a great positive energy and enthusiasm that radiates into his photos. Look at any of the pictures on his website and it's obvious that he has a great eye for the natural beauty around him and knows how to these capture moments. We aren't models and aren't used to having our pictures taken, but Greg made us feel comfortable, while still getting us into place to take amazing shots.

We had the pleasure of working with Greg for both our engagement and wedding photos. Both experiences were great and we have so many beautiful photos to choose from! Greg communicated with us well before the wedding to make sure he had a good idea of all the group shots we wanted. Greg's partner Jennifer was there as well focusing on the fine details and making sure everything went smoothly. We got our photos back in less than 2 weeks and were so impressed with the quality of his work. Thank you so much Greg and Jennifer!

Artistic Visionary! Greg and Jennifer are a photography dream team! While searching for a photographer for our wedding we quickly learned how personal photography is and asked ourselves .. who can capture genuine classic moments? Friends who had tied the knot before us advised us to carefully review portfolios to gain the best insight to a photographer. This was essential advice. Although, we didn't know much about photography, we knew that we wanted a photographer who could capture genuine candid moments.
Greg's portfolio not only showed that he could capture candid moments, his photography

I wish I could go back in time to have Greg take all of our family pictures. Getting ready to book our next set with him, this will be the third time.
He not only takes a photo, Greg captures the children's essence. The experience is so much fun. Within minutes, he has them laughing and engaged. We look back on our past photos often and can't wait to do it again.
On top of all that, the photographs are beautiful. The lighting and color tone are perfect. Our pictures are just as awesome as his online gallery.

This review is way over due but I would like to say Greg is an amazing photographer. We found him at a wedding bazaar in Del Mar. Once we looked over his work and talked with him more we knew we wanted to book with him. Greg did our engagement and wedding pictures. We received so many compliments from family and friends just from our engagement photos, and I really liked how they all turned out. He picked our backgrounds and coached us along the way on the poses. Our pictures were taken at presido park in San Diego. We had so much fun. The pictures really captured the love between my fiance and

We had the pleasure of having Greg Nelsen as our photographer for our wedding last November. I met him at a Bridal Bazaar last Spring and he was very friendly. I set up an appointment with him and my husband-to-be at the time and we also met his beautiful wife. We had a great conversation and we decided to have them photograph our wedding. He was responsive to emails, very flexible throughout the whole planning. We did the engagement photoshoot and it was very relaxed and easy. The pictures turned out beautiful and had some of the pictures used as part of the wedding decorations. Greg was

Met Greg at the San Diego Bridal Bazaar down at the convention center, and he is the reason went there. My then-fiancee was looking at photographers that were going to be there and got instantly drawn into this pictures and the storytelling. He has a great personality ad our sense of funny. Our engagement photo shoot, the wedding day, everything was great and easy. Didn't have to worry about a thing when it came to our photographs. Jennifer was there to keep everything organized and tended to every detail in the photographs. Greg and Jennifer make one great team you would want with you for

I cannot say enough good things about Greg & Jennifer. For starters, they are the cutest couple EVER!!! My husband, Nick, and I met Greg at a bridal expo in Del Mar awhile back, and we all instantly clicked. Fast forward a few weeks later and we did two engagement photo shoots, one at Presidio Park and the other at the cove in La Jolla. I could not have been more pleased with the experience and the awesome photos. This past weekend, Greg and Jennifer were back to shoot our wedding at The Darlington House - again, I am blown away with the quality of their work, professionalism, and overall amazing

What a fabulous experience!
We recently had our shoot at Presidio Park with Greg. We were at ease right away. We shot all over the park and up at the Junipera Serra Museum. Greg got some really interesting shots and used the great natural architecture of the museum.
My fiance, who rarely smiles in photos, was captured laughing and smiling due to Greg's ability to put him at ease.
Greg also sent our photos to us very quickly, within days. We are so happy and could not have asked for more!
