I will work with you to make a timeline to ensure a stress free day. I will personally be there from start to finish to ensure a smooth day. A second photographer will be there to capture additional perspectives throughout the day. For the wedding I will capture: most of getting ready, details, first looks, ceremony, family photos, bridal portraits, and reception up until the grand exit.

8 hours of coverage is perfect for most weddings to capture the best parts of the day.

The Californian sun has been splendid this summer, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink every evening. And San Diego, with its perfect weather, has been more than generous in providing the perfect backdrop for these sunsets. It's truly one of the many perks of living in this coastal city, and this summer, it was the setting for a beautiful wedding that I was lucky enough to be a part of.
&nbsp;
I had the pleasure of spending a day with Fiona and Kyle, a lovely couple who chose the La Jolla Rooftop Cove for their wedding. Nestled just a few minutes from the picturesque La Jolla cove, this venue is a hidden gem. With the rooftop offering a grand view of the ocean, it's a place where you can feel the salty sea breeze gently ruffling your hair, hear the soft lull of the waves, and witness the sun sinking into the ocean, painting the sky with a riot of colors - an ideal place for a memorable celebration.
&nbsp;
The whole day was filled with love and laughter, and there was an air of excitement that was infectious. Fiona and Kyle, with their radiant smiles, seemed to be in a world of their own. The ceremony was intimate and beautiful, with the sun setting in the background, creating an atmosphere that was nothing short of magical.
&nbsp;
The reception, held on the rooftop, was a fun-filled event. As the evening wore on, the sky was studded with stars, creating a canopy of twinkling lights. The laughter, the clinking of glasses, the heartfelt speeches, and the dancing under the starry sky made the evening an unforgettable one.

Hey there! As a wedding photographer, each gig brings its own vibe, and Christina + Michael's wedding day was no exception. Let me take you through the day&mdash;it was a whirlwind of joy, beauty, and some seriously memorable shots.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h1>Getting Ready: Chilled Vibes at an AirBnb</h1>
We kicked off the day at this cozy AirBnb tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. There's something about the pre-wedding prep that's just electric, right? Laughter, nerves, and that special bond between friends&mdash;it was all there. I loved capturing those candid moments, the flutter of excitement as everyone got dolled up.

<h3>First Look and Bridal Portraits: Picture Perfect at Balboa Park</h3>
&nbsp;
Next stop: Balboa Park. This place is a photographer's dream, with its stunning architecture and lush greenery. When the groom saw his bride for the first time, in the beautiful Alcazar garden&mdash;it was magic. Their emotions were raw and real, and I was there to freeze those priceless expressions in time. We wandered around, finding hidden nooks and crannies for some seriously breathtaking portraits.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

<h3>Ceremony and Reception:&nbsp; FruitCraft - Fermentery and Distillery&nbsp;</h3>
&nbsp;
The main event went down at FruitCraft, this cool venue that mixes industrial vibes with modern elegance. The ceremony was bathed in golden sunlight, with all their loved ones cheering them on. Vows were exchanged, rings were slipped on, and the party kicked off big time.
The reception was a blast&mdash;heartfelt speeches, crazy dances, and so much love in the air. The whole place was lit up, literally and figuratively. It was clear that every detail, from the decor to the music playlist, was a reflection of Christina + Michael's style and story.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

<h3>Capturing Memories, Preserving Moments</h3>
&nbsp;
For me, being a wedding photographer is about more than just snapping pics. It's about capturing the vibe, the feels, and the essence of the day&mdash;the little things that make it uniquely theirs. From the chill moments at the AirBnb to the epic backdrop of Balboa Park and the trendy setup at FruitCraft, every location told a piece of their love story. I'm reminded why I love what I do. It's about freezing those magical moments that people will cherish forever.

It was a day filled with gentle breezes, soft laughter, and the unmistakable buzz of happiness that only a wedding day can bring.
&nbsp;
As the day unfolded, I had the privilege of capturing countless precious moments: from the intimate exchange of vows under a canopy of oak trees, to the laughter and tears shared during heartfelt speeches, to the joyous celebration as Julia and Jack danced under the stars.
&nbsp;
Julia and Jack's wedding at Temecula Creek Cottages was a celebration of love and a testament to the beauty of heartfelt moments.

We did an engagement shoot with Nate and LOVED not only the shoot but the photos we got back as well!! He really made us feel comfortable and suggested so many great poses that made the pictures look so natural. We did our shoot at Windandsea beach and it was quite busy but you would never know from the photos! Nate was also very kind and patient. I love the esthetic of the photos and he provided such a large variety! I would recommend him to anyone for their engagement or wedding photographer! Thank you so much for everything☺️

8 hours of coverage is perfect for most weddings to capture the best parts of the day. This package is highly recommended if you will be getting ready in the same location as the reception + ceremony. This allows just enough time for getting ready coverage all the way through open dance. This is great for couples who aren't interested in as many detail shots during the getting ready portion of the day. I also include a complimentary engagement session and high resolution images sent in an online gallery. I will work with you to create a timeline that is best tailored to you and your wedding day. This is the best all around coverage for a typically wedding day.
