More family portraits in Balboa Park of course! (: I have shot Zenden once before, but this time I also had the pleasure of shooting him with his parents. Their love for the son and each other really shows in their pictures. I had a wonderful time capturing that!

Balboa Park Engagement | Christy & Jason

I did this engagement shoot in the heart of San Diego which is Balboa Park. There are so many different types of settings to choose from. I thought this location would be perfect for such a energetic and active couple, especially with their dog Morgan. Balboa Park features Spanish-Renaissance style buildings that make it seem like it’s been around forever even though the park itself is only 100 years old. Christy and Jason brought some youth to liven up the place.

Christy and Jason have a really fun love story. They are both teachers and they met at the High School that they both worked at. Since then they have moved to separate high schools. These two LOVE sports. As you can tell in the images. You have to see the groom’s cake from the wedding. It was the cutest thing!

It’s almost impossible to live in San Diego and not be a Chargers fan. What better place than Balboa Park to show your Charger pride!

Such an incredible couple! I am so blessed to have been a part of your wedding day and your engagement. I am so excited for your lives together. Such a power couple!

The Kim Family is a wonderful example of how fun a Balboa Park family portrait shoot can be! Their adorable and energetic kids brought a such a presence to the shoot and really brightened the day. They were such a joy to shoot!

San Diego family portraits can be such a blast to shoot, and with the Kim family it truly was.

The Kim’s daughter was one of my favorite babies to shoot. I mean isn’t this just the cutest baby portrait ever?!

Balboa Park, Rose Garden Wedding ~ Jessica & Ricky

I do not know much about golfing, I think Tiger Woods is cool but that is about it. However, I do know a good love story that involves a golf course! Jessica & Ricky first met while both working at top San Diego Golf Course, Riverwalk Golf Course. Ricky worked in the Pro Shop while Jessica worked in the restaurant. Ricky spotted her from across the room and eventually asked her on their first date. The rest of the story is sealed inside a book but I think it involved the police in some way. Don’t ask but never the less the whole thing brought them closer together and eventually to this day.

The engaged couple decided on one of our associate photographer packages after meeting with Jeremy and loving his work and him of course. How could you not love Jeremy? Their wedding was on a Friday and instead of working in the office for the day I decided to join the adventure of this great San Diego Wedding set in the incredible Rose Gardens in Balboa Park.

Everything that was a part of this wedding was incredible. The ceremony was simple & elegant. The day started with some photographs taken inside the Japanese Friendship Garden at Balboa Park. After some fun with Jessica & Ricky we headed to the Ceremony location, The Balboa Park Rose Garden. We stopped on the way to the reception in the Historic Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego to a couple of my favorite spots for some quick shots. The Gaslamp Quarter has amazing rustic & edgy backdrops that always make a great backdrop. I love when you can go to so many different locations in one day.

Jeremy got so many great shot but this is one of my favorites of his. Dancing in the street in downtown San Diego. You are probably wondering how he was able to get them in the middle of a busy intersection in the middle of down town San Diego. We will never tell our secrets.

If you are ever looking for a great sports bar & restaurant near the San Diego Beaches, Offshore Tavern & Grill is one of the best. Jessica & Ricky were able to spend some quality time with family and friends there during their reception. It was a fun location when looking for something a bit edgy such as a bar & grill along with the perfect area for a small reception or cocktail party.

Look at how cute these two are. I call these brides in training. Or just cute little girls. Adorable!
