Lao Wedding – San Diego

San Diego Weddings

I’m a huge fan of variety in weddings – so when I was told of a Laos ceremony in the morning followed by a more “western” ceremony in the afternoon I was very excited. Laos is a small country sitting between Thailand and Vietnam, and from what I understand there are a lot of similarities between traditional Thai weddings and traditional Lao weddings. This was my first Lao wedding so I did not have a basis for comparison, but it was full of fascinating traditions (including a bribe to the parents of the bride…) and it had an absolutely elegant traditional wardrobe and styling. I decided that this wedding would be a really cool set of pictures to put in a slideshow so here it is.

The afternoon ceremony took place at Island Palms in San Diego

Breakers Beach Wedding – Coronado Island

San Diego Weddings


North Island Air Station on Coronado is a spectacular location for a wedding. The beach is enormous and the new hotel is comfortable and elegant. On top of that Freya and Justin are an amazing couple who can’t seem to take a bad photo if they tried.  Both Jon and Chris of SD Photo Studio were very excited to be a part of this amazing day.

 

 

Wedding In Ocean Beach

San Diego Weddings

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.

Fall Wedding in San Diego

San Diego Weddings

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.
