Encinitas Wedding Photographer
Honest, unposed wedding photographs made in real light. In Encinitas, that means spots like Swami's / Self-Realization Fellowship bluffs and Moonlight Beach.
I photograph San Diego weddings the way they actually feel — the nervous laugh before the first look, the toast that goes off-script, the last song when the dance floor forgets anyone is watching. My approach is documentary at heart, with just enough gentle direction that you never have to wonder what to do with your hands.
Encinitas is the laid-back heart of the North County coast — surf breaks, flower-lined bluffs, and the meditation gardens above Swami's. It has a softer, more bohemian feel than the resort towns, which suits couples who want something a little less formal.
Local know-how: Bluff parking along Coast Highway 101 is limited on weekends. The Botanic Garden requires a photography reservation for sessions, which I'll arrange.
