Rhonda and Ralford selected a Saturday in early February for their Ocean View Ballast Point wedding. It’s an excellent venue that sits right on the water. Beating the ocean view, especially for the reception is hard. While other Navy wedding venues in San Diego have great views, the reception space is usually indoors.

One of my favorite things about photographing weddings is being a part of a family for a day. It’s even better the second time around when photographing another family member’s wedding.

As usual, I like to start by photographing the bride’s shoes and dress...

Kevin and Bobby's Martin Johnson House wedding could not have arrived fast enough this year. A craft beer themed wedding with an ocean view, put together by a well-known event designer.

It also allowed for some sweet moments of them helping each other get ready....

It’s great covering this part of the wedding because that is when things begin to get real. Months of planning and the day is finally here. Everyone was in great spirits and by the energy of the wedding party I could tell it was going to be a great day of celebrating....
