    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. I grew up in San Diego, and always love coming back to photograph weddings. Many people know of Liberty Station as the navy base. 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!…

    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.

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.

    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…

    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…
