Crystal Pier Wedding | Emily and Blake

By, November 07, 2017

Emily and Blake held their dream destination wedding here in San Diego, at Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach. These Colorado sweethearts were married in an emotional outdoor ceremony at the Crystal Pier Hotel, surrounded by a close-knit group of family and friends. It was a beautiful occasion, full of San Diego charm and beach ambiance. Here is a selection of our favorite photos!

Pacific Beach Engagement Photo Shoot

Pacific Beach is a quintessential San Diego beach community. It’s like a rite of passage for those of us who grew up here, or came to San Diego for college and never left. Everyone passes through PB at some point. The vibe is young and fun, like a classic college town. Pick any eclectic crowd and you’re likely to find students, young professionals, and billionaires in board shorts.

We like photographing engagements here year round, but especially when summer is over and the vibe is a little more mellow. The long boardwalk is ideal for biking or skateboarding, so feel free to bring your wheels for a more active shoot. And of course, the beach area is breathtaking and full of unexpected surprises. Even if we don’t run into local legend Slomo during our shoot, it’s sure to be a fun time.

To arrange your own Pacific Beach engagement shoot, feel free to contact us. For inspiration, please enjoy these recent engagement photos we captured in and around Pacific Beach.

Mission Beach Engagement Photo Shoot

Mission Beach is a great spot to have fun and play off each other as a couple. There is so much to do, including riding the roller coaster, playing carnival games, and enjoying a boardwalk treat. The scene pops with color, and there are interesting backdrops at every turn.

After a few spins on the Tilt-a-Whirl, you may be ready for a change of pace. For a more natural setting, the beach is just steps away, across the street. The beach itself is a large, open area that seems to stretch forever, and has quieter spots where you can let loose or enjoy a romantic moment together.

To set up your own Mission Beach engagement shoot, feel free to contact us. And for inspiration, please enjoy recent engagement photos we captured in and around Mission Beach.
