Scripps Seaside Forum

By True Photography, December 25, 2017 Venue Guide

Highlights of Scripps Seaside Forum

Located on the Scripps Institution of Oceanography campus, the Scripps Seaside Forum offers a blend of modern architecture and style that celebrates Southern California’s unrivaled coastal environment. With an unparalleled beachfront location, modern facilities, and award-winning architecture, this stunning venue offers an ideal setting for you wedding and reception. The breathtaking view and multipurpose auditorium also makes the Scripps Seaside Forum a wonderful location, and one that is sure to impress.

The back of the building offers an opportunity to photograph our newlyweds while showcasing The Forum's award winning architecture.

By stepping in closer, we can use the natural lines of the hallway to pull the eye towards our subjects.

We can use the walls and complex architecture of the Forum to naturally frame our subjects

By simply turning our couple around we get a completely different look of the same hallway.

Throwing on a longer lens and staying close to the wall results in intimate portraits.

Continuing further down the hallway, we arrive at a wide balcony with a spectacular view.

From the upstairs patio, we can take the stairs right to the front lawn.

On your way to the lawn make sure to stop on the stairs to grab some fun shots of your newlyweds

Once at the lawn you'll have lots of room for photos of the entire wedding party with the Pacific in the background.

The stairs located at the northernmost point of the lawn will lead you right to the beach.

During low tide, Scripps beach is a great place to pose the bride and groom for some dramatic portraits.

The mood changes during higher tide, but the opportunity for spectacular photos is always there.

Following the beach north, you'll arrive at what is probably the most photographed location at Scripps Beach; The Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier.

After getting extended coverage of the beach, it's usually time to get the newlyweds back to the Forum for their Grand Entrance.

When the timing is right, the reflection on the ballroom sliding doors is pretty epic.

Stepping outside during the first dance can result in some really memorable photos.

The market lights above the main lawn illuminate the bride and groom.

The slotted wooden panels that line the main courtyard offer lots of opportunity to play with off camera lights.

The Forum is not only perfect for wedding photography, but for engagement and lifestyle shoots as well.

The Rose Garden, located just north of the main lawn, is a lush and colorful spot for romantic portraits.

The blue tile on this building gives photos an instant pop.

Looking north from the pier, the cliffs above La Jolla make for a spectacular backdrop.

By positioning ourselves between the cliffs and the water, we can capture a different perspective of the same scene.

During low tide, the tide pools in front of the cliffs emerge, and offer great opportunities for complex reflection shots.

Green Gables Wedding Estate

By True Photography, December 13, 2017 Venue Guide

Highlights of Green Gables Wedding Estate

Tucked away in the hills of San Marcos, this English garden inspired wedding venue is a treasure trove of interesting backdrops and romantic settings. This turn-of-the-century historic landmark estate is set in total seclusion, nestled among a towering forest that dates back well over 100 years.

A day at Green Gables typically begins in the bridal suite inside of the 1890’s schoolhouse. Here, the bride can apply her finishing touches, put on her gown, and relax for a moment before walking down the aisle. Enjoy this gallery of recent photos captured by our studio at Green Gables Wedding Estate.

The big windows in the suite are a great source of soft light in the room.

If you continue to walk around the schoolhouse you will find a large shaded lawn that features a rope swing and enough room to photograph even the largest wedding party.

One of the more iconic locations at Green Gables is the 1951 Ford Truck. This vintage piece of Americana is a perfect backdrop for bridal parties and fun photos of the newlyweds.

Just past the truck, following a winding road away from the main venue, youu2019ll come to a more secluded area of the property that is perfect for some intimate portrait of the bride and groom.

The gazebo that is used as the altar during the ceremony can also be used as the backdrop for formal wedding parties or romantic coupleu2019s photos of the new Bride and Groom.

After sunset the entire venue comes alive with large market lights and tiny twinkling lights. These make for a magical backdrop for some awesome night photos.
