Wedding Photos at Estancia San Diego Photographer

Pic of The Day: A weeks worth at once!

jeanJimWed2879

I did a fun little project the beginning of the year.  While I was working on archiving some older weddings I was posting my favorite image daily.  It was loved reliving all my wonderful past couples' weddings! I had to take a little break from the daily posting, but I'm back and starting it up again in a new form.  In the interest of being a little more efficient, I'm going to post 7 images at … [Read more...]

The Candid Portrait

non posed bride and groom portraits

Generally at every wedding there is a little time set aside for photos of the bride and groom alone.  But every so often I get a couple that doesn't want ANY organized photos whatsoever.  After a little discussion about what they are giving up (creative time with me) I'm all for the 100% fly-on-the-wall approach.  Today's "Pic of the Day" exemplifies Bride and Groom "portraits" in a purely … [Read more...]

Sparklers and Fun at an Italian Villa inspired Hotel – Shannon & Kyler

Grand Del Mar, Addison Restuarant, Italian inspired wedding, Sparklers, photography

I love the Grand del Mar.  It reminds me of a fancy Italian Villa in Tuscany.  You may not know about my love affair with the Tuscan & Marche regions in Italy, and although its not the same, this is as close as I get in San Diego.  The Grand del Mar has so many lovely areas to shoot and a beautiful lawn and fountain for the ceremony.  Its always a pleasure working here. Shannon & … [Read more...]

Pic of the Day: Baby’s 1st Birthday Cake

baby's 1st birthday cake

A bit of a diversion today from weddings.  One of the things I love about my couples is they almost always come back after the wedding and have me photograph their babies!  It is such a treat to get to watch their families grow.  The wedding marks the beginning of their families and not only do I get to preserve that memory for them but add to it as time goes by. … [Read more...]
