Ryan and Linda were married on April 26th in San Diego at the beautiful El Cortez hotel. They scheduled over almost an hour and a half for us to go out on the town on a photo field trip! It was so wonderful to have that much time with them to do their romantic portraits!! (hint, hint, to all the other couples with dates coming up!! More time is always better!!)
Ryan had found some locations beforehand that he really liked and we got so much variety in the portraits, it was fantastic! From the time I spent with them I noticed how genuine and in love they are…I love my job.

Here are just a few of my favorites from the day….

My awesome bride Reese is one of a kind! She was daring enough to want to trash her wedding dress at a winery smashing grapes “I Love Lucy Style” !! We did some bridal portraits around the Joseph Filippi Winery (who are amazingly nice BTW) and then brought a barrel, grapes and juice into the vineyards to have some fun!

Most of the shoot was very serious and fashionesque (is that a word?) because I thought that went really well with her fantastic and unique look and personality. Until we started smashing the grapes, then things got funny! She was up for anything, which really paid off in the photos. Oh, and she does those braids herself…wow pretty impressive!!

The bridal portrait or trash the dress sessions can be substituted for your engagement session or in addition to it after the wedding. We don’t have to destroy the dress, and can just get it dirty and/or wet…etc. Or we can just carefully put you in a unique location and be nice to your dress if you like! But either way it is a once in a lifetime idea to have some unique photos of you and your dress!!

Thanks for stopping by,
