La Jolla Wedding Photographer
Honest, unposed wedding photographs made in real light. In La Jolla, that means spots like La Jolla Cove and Windansea 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.
La Jolla is the crown jewel of the San Diego coast — dramatic sandstone bluffs, tide pools, and light that turns gold an hour before sunset.
Local know-how: Metered parking fills fast on weekends — arrive early or plan a weekday session. Ceremonies on the bluffs at Scripps Park require a City of San Diego permit, which I'll help you sort out.
La Jolla Spots for Weddings
Where we'll shoot
La Jolla Cove
Iconic, but busy — we shoot the bluffs just north or south to skip the crowds.
Windansea Beach
The surf shack and sandstone reefs make for moody, textured backdrops at low tide.
Ellen Browning Scripps Park
Open lawns and palm-lined paths right above the cove — great for families.
Scripps Pier
A clean coastal line and reliable sunset color; best from the beach just south.
Mount Soledad
A 360° overlook of the whole coast, ideal for a quick sunset stop.
