As a wedding photographer in San Diego, I’m constantly inspired by the incredible variety of locations the city offers. From the rugged cliffs of Torrey Pines or La Jolla to the historic corners of Balboa Park, I offer every couple the chance to reflect their unique story against my favorite backdrops. Whether it’s the beach at sunset or an urban crawl, I have hand picked some amazing spots over my 15 years in San Diego. The beauty of this city is that no matter where we shoot, the natural light and breathtaking scenery elevate every moment, making your San Diego elopement a truly perfect day.

“Having Daniel help us plan our San Diego elopement was so extremely helpful! All we had to do was tell him what we wanted it to feel like and he did the rest. We loved both the experience and our photos. We’ve gotten so, so many compliments!”

We can meet at the ceremony location or city hall to kick it all off. I’m also happy to drop in to your airbnb or hotel for some getting ready candids if you’d like. After your ceremony we can drive to some great San Diego spots such as Coronado Beach, Torrey Pines, Balboa Park, or even out east in the mountains near Julian. This can all easily fit within our elopement package coverage.
