About Saman | Best Side of Light San Diego

Hi, I’m Saman — the heart behind Best Side of Light Photography here in San Diego. Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always been drawn to the honesty and beauty of real moments. As a self-taught artist, I’ve dedicated my work to capturing those fleeting “awe” moments and turning them into timeless memories you’ll treasure forever.

My style blends technical precision with candid storytelling. Every photo and video is created with care for light, detail, and atmosphere — but just as important, it’s about capturing your natural energy and personality. My goal is to create an experience where you can be yourself, so the images become the most authentic expression of who you are.

Based in San Diego, I’ve had the honor of collaborating with incredible local studios and photographing countless weddings, family sessions, corporate events, and real estate properties. Each connection brings something new and special, and I’m always excited to tell another story — whether it’s your brand, your home, or the celebration of two people coming together.

I specialize in wedding photography, family photography, branding portraits, and real estate photography. No matter the setting, my focus is always the same: genuine emotion, candid energy, and an artistic eye that makes each image feel both natural and elevated. Think of it as the perfect mix of candid lifestyle moments with the timeless polish of an editorial spread.

At Best Side of Light, photography is more than just images — it’s about preserving your story in a way that feels effortless, artistic, and unforgettable. With me, you’ll receive more than photos; you’ll receive editorial-style, luxury images that you can share, showcase, and cherish for a lifetime.
