Clove & Kin is a boutique wedding photography and cinematography studio in Allied Gardens, San Diego, founded in 2012 by lead photographer Erin, who has shot weddings since 2006. The 92120 ZIP operation runs a team of three primary photographers — Erin, Weston, and Jamie — alongside a studio manager, an in-house editing staff, and a design department that produces finished albums and fine-art prints from each event. The studio's approach emphasizes photojournalistic documentation layered with formal portraiture: ceremony moments, reception candids, and family groupings are all captured in natural light wherever venue conditions allow. Bridal beauty preparation happens in the same corridor of salons and beauty providers that the studio recommends, including Continued Beauty Lounge in College Area for makeup and lash work. Engagement sessions function as a chemistry-building step between the couple and their assigned photographer before the wedding day, and the resulting images feed into save-the-date cards and wedding website galleries. Post-production includes color grading, retouching, and a reveal session where couples preview their full gallery and select album layouts. The cinematography division shoots wedding films edited into both highlight reels and full-ceremony documentaries, with final delivery within 12 weeks of the event. Clove & Kin's venue portfolio spans Rancho Valencia, Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, The Santaluz Club, Scripps Seaside Forum, and Darlington House, among dozens of other Southern California properties. Brides coordinating hair styling for the wedding morning also book through San Carlos salons such as Shear Brilliance Salon on Lake Murray Boulevard. The team limits the number of weddings accepted per season to maintain the editing throughput that supports 40-plus hours of post-production per event.
