    Brick San Diego Wedding {Alissa+Tim}

    May 8, 2017

    Liberty Station San Diego Wedding San Diego Wedding Photographer I love photographing weddings in San Diego! As a destination wedding photographer I have the chance to get to some amazing places.

Several years ago the US Navy let it go, and it has since become a renaissance of business and beauty. Liberty station is a wonderful place for restaurants, walking around, and of course for a wedding! A Brick Liberty Station wedding is the perfect location!…

    Carlsbad Wedding Photographer Carlsbad Beach Engagement Photos Being a destination wedding photographer and traveling to amazing and beautiful places to photograph weddings and engagements is the best!

Very often when I’m photographing destination weddings, I don’t have the opportunity to first do an engagement session with the couple. Honestly an engagement session is so fun! Not only is it a great time though, but a great chance for me to get to know the couple before…

This couple is absolutely beautiful, inside and out! I always love photographing couples, be it wedding, or engagement photos in San Diego. The lagoon in Carlsbad is one of my favorite spots.

    La Jolla Cove Bridal Photos {Dorothy+Kurt}

    April 1, 2015

    I have photographed countless weddings and couples in La Jolla and around San Diego over the years but am always in awe of the amazing beauty of Southern California. From the beaches to the amazing trees and cliffs this fun pre wedding session at the Cove in La Jolla California is just so stunning. I loved working with Dorothy & Kurt for their engagement photos in Zion Utah a few months earlier and really enjoyed the sunshine and waves for their bridals at the beach in San Diego. We lucked out with some absolutely perfect winter weather and had such…

    Engagement photos at Carlsbad State Beach and Lagoon I had a wonderful time photographing Melanie & Mark in Carlsbad for Engagements. Melanie wrote a little about the session as well as her and Marks story! “I had high standards when booking my wedding photographer, as photos are the most important for me when it comes to elements for my wedding day. I wanted someone with a unique style and when I came across Jimmy’s work, I knew immediately that I had to book him for our wedding. Mark was a bit hesitant to do an engagement session, but I was insistent…

    Carlsbad Village Inn Wedding {Lexi + Hunter}

    June 14, 2014

    Photographing weddings in San Diego is always fantastic. I love the sunshine and the way the cool air comes in off of the ocean. I had a great time being the wedding photographer for Lexi and Hunters wedding in Carlsbad at the Carlsbad Village Inn. I originally met Lexi and Hunter a few years ago while photographing her sister Katies wedding in Napa Valley. I knew then that these two were something special. When I eventually heard from them about photographing their wedding I was ecstatic. We meat up and shot their engagement pictures around San Diego in La Jolla…

    I had the opportunity to photograph Katie and Chris’ wedding in Napa Valley a few years ago and their engagements in Encinitas, and love working with them. It is so great to watch their family progress and grow. One of the things I look forward to most when going to San Diego is photographing this awesome little family! Their Son Aiden recently turned one, and these are a few of the photos we took from their family session in La Jolla San Diego.

    Amorology Wedding (Featured on the Style me pretty)

    April 12, 2010

    Robyn and Brandend’s Wedding was a science them. Yeah sounded a bit crazy to me too when Heather of Amorology told me the idea. Like always though, Heather pulled it off, and put together an absolutely beautiful event centered around the them of Science. Every table had a different center piece, and periodic table number. The guest cards were in test tubes, and the candy and flowers in beakers. It was really fantastic, and I was so pleased to be a part of it. Style Me Pretty also loved it, and featured it on their website today. Please everyone, check it out, and leave…
