After more than 12 years of shooting weddings, I still get very genuinely excited when a day has the right mix of elegance and ease. Gabriella and Eric's wedding at Brick and Bower in downtown San Diego had both.

Perched above the ocean with its iconic pink façade, La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla was the perfect romantic backdrop for Kiana and Zak's wedding. That ceremony on the cliffside terrace, candid vows by the ocean, and genuine, joyful moments throughout! As a San Diego wedding photographer with 12+ years documenting love stories along the coast, I can't recommend this La Jolla wedding venue enough for couples who want timeless elegance and sweeping ocean views.
