Candace & Thomas :: San Diego Baptist Wedding

August 23, 2012

Here is another beautiful San Diego wedding I got to second shoot alongside Captured by Aimee. Candace & Thomas jumped the broom at the Bayview Baptist Church on a warm sunny day. Their colors were so unique and perfect for a summer wedding. We took photos over at Balboa Park where they needed little direction from us. They were so in the moment and so obviously happy to be together it was a dream to shoot them. The reception took place in Downtown San Diego at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Along with their wedding party, Candace and Thomas danced one of the coolest wedding party dances ever. Congratulations you two!

Thanks to Aimee Westcott for having me tag along. Please see her gorgeous photos here.

Plan Be

December 23, 2010

Our original plans for this photo shoot were pretty much a bust. Old Town, San Diego is a special place for Lisa and Chris. Naturally, they wanted to take photos there, but everyone and their mom decided it was the place to be on that warm Sunday. After trying to find parking for 30 minutes they texted me to go to Plan B. B for Balboa Park.

This was my first time to Balboa Park, San Diego. It was busy there too, but the area is huge and we managed to find un-populated areas. Walking around I instantly felt inspired. So many lovely museums and beautiful architecture. I definitely want to come back here just to visit or for another photo shoot.

Of course, even here it didn't start out as planned. The Japanese garden didn't allow photography, the other garden they liked had no flowers in bloom and found out their favorite little Mexican restaurant had closed it's doors. :(

In spite of all this, Lisa and Chris never got the least bit discouraged. In fact, we took our bad luck and kicked it in it's arse and made our own good luck. Throughout the whole shoot I could see their love for each other shine. They were never nervous and always knew what to do. I think it's because they weren't trying to do anything, but just be. Be in love. Plan Be.
