Love in Paradise | Tropical Destination Weddings

By, April 18, 2016

Sometimes, you just can’t wait to get out in the sun :) That’s why tropical destination weddings are popular with adventurous couples and their loved ones. It doesn’t take much to get swept away in an immersive island paradise, with romance, adventure, bold colors and fun around every corner. When you’re in love and enjoying your wedding celebration, the mainland will seem very far behind.

We photograph destination weddings around the world, so contact us for tips and package recommendations for your own celebration. In the meantime, grab the sunscreen, blend up something exotic, and enjoy these tropical destination wedding photos below.

La Valencia | Classic Venue with a Modern Twist

By, March 16, 2016

La Valencia is a vintage Spanish-stye San Diego hotel overlooking La Jolla Cove. With a colorful history dating back to 1926, this old-school gem has color flourishes throughout, and stunning panoramic ocean views. The venue’s tropical garden is tranquil and breathtaking, and is an undeniably gorgeous place to exchange wedding vows.

As photographers, we love finding new, creative ways to put a fresh spin on this old-world venue.

After the ceremony, the nearby beach is an inviting place for couples to relax, have a quick photo session, and refresh before rejoining friends and family. The vivid hues, natural surroundings, and soft light create a sense of timeless intimacy, resulting in beautiful portraits. It is an amazing way to spend the first few moments as a newly married couple :)

As the day crosses over into evening, it’s time to celebrate at La Valencia’s Verandah Ballroom and Terrace. Sitting high above the property, this room provides magnificent views, and is furnished with crystal chandeliers and stylish checkered floors. This elegant setting is perfect for a dramatic grand entrance, and will enchant guests as they party the night away.
