Engagement photos at Old Poway

Courtney and Jordan were troopers yesterday morning… morning temperatures were in the high 30’s and they still agreed to meet me at 8AM for some nice early morning light.  But as is so often the case… the results are worth the effort as we had absolutely spectacular conditions for these photos.  Fortunately for all of us the temps started climbing pretty fast under the beautiful morning sun.

Old Poway Park has been a favorite location of mine for a long time – but I’ve never been able to talk anyone into getting up so early to do their pictures, so I was thrilled to have such a great looking couple keen to make great images with me.

Wedding In Ocean Beach

Chris and Jon were at it again last weekend in Ocean Beach. We don’t get to team up together for every wedding – but when we do we always have a blast working together. This wedding took place in the courtyard at the Ocean Beach Hotel which is immediately adjacent to the Ocean Beach Pier. The sky on this particular day was a photographers dream come true – with a mix of light overcast and some awesome cloud formations.

Paradise Point Wedding

Paradise Point is one of the most beautiful places to get married in San Diego. Being on a “point” there are amazing views to be had all around the resort, the there are well spectacular gardens and water features throughout the property. Carlos and Blanca invited me to photograph their intimate wedding on the Island View Lawn which is a simple and small “Island” surrounded by streams and bridges. The reception took place in the Bayview Room and hosted a spectacular sunset.

Red Light District… Behind-the-Scenes

Jon Tiffin knocked this one out of the park !!!

When the owner of one of San Diego’s hottest new restaurants (Red Light District) contacted Jon several months back – an amazing collaborative process began that ended up involving dozens of people.  Jon’s part in this process would be to photograph an amazing group of girls dressed in vintage boudoir attire to decorate the new restaurant.  Most of the prints were going to be printed as black & white photos on a metallic surface – but we knew at least one print would be mounted in a light box at a very large dimension.  Pauly Debartolo from Debartolo + Rimanic Design Studio coordinated the project, while Jessica Rose Delee styled the shot and both Julie Marques and Aimee Beltran were responsible for hair and makeup.  Mimi and Lu provided all the beautiful jewelry you see in the photos as well.  Chris Wood was on hand as a photography assistant and videographer.

We’ve been sitting on this footage now for a few months now… waiting for the restaurant to be unveiled.  And with the grand opening officially out of the way – we are finally free to release this fun little bit of footage that we created during the LONG day while we captured all of these images.

San Diego Family Photography

We met up with Jason and family at one of my favorite photo locations in San Diego. The air temperature was a little chilly but otherwise the weather was perfect for picture taking.

Fall Wedding in San Diego

SD Photo Studio’s newest assistant photographer (Dwayne Andrejczuk) joined up with Chris Wood to capture this fantastic little ceremony on the first day of fall in Pacific Beach, San Diego. There was no grand reception or exquisite decorations for this wedding – just a few close friends and family and a beautiful stretch of San Diego coastline.
