We're thrilled to announce that Indigo West has been selected as a winner of The Knot's coveted "Best of Weddings 2026" award! This incredible honor recognizes the top wedding vendors across the country based on real reviews from real couples, and we couldn't be more grateful to our amazing San Diego wedding clients who made this achievement possible.

We absolutely love what we're seeing in the San Diego wedding scene this year! As photographers who've been behind the lens for countless celebrations in 2026, we can honestly say couples are getting SO much more creative and personal with their big days.

As a San Diego wedding photographer, I've captured celebrations at dozens of coastal venues from La Jolla to Coronado Island. But five San Diego beach wedding venues consistently blow me away.

Start with what matters to you. Not what Pinterest says. Not what your venue suggests. Just you. Then add in the things that actually make it official: your ceremony, signing the license, first dances. That’s your foundation.

When couples reflect back, the memories they return to are the ones that felt unfiltered, unscripted and entirely their own.

Planning a wedding in San Diego, California means choosing a venue that not only fits your vision but also provides unforgettable settings for your photos, your vows, and your celebration.

Paradise Point truly stands out as one of my favorite venues to shoot at on San Diego bay. Its versatile outdoor spaces offer a range of picturesque settings, from the intimate beachside ceremony to the lively reception under the stars.

I’ve always held a preference for an interesting candid image, over an overly posed, perfected picture . I knew, once I started shooting weddings, that I wanted the candids to be a strong focal point of my overall approach.
