A San Diego Military Wedding with True Photography

By, June 20, 2020

We love to photograph weddings for our San Diego military couples and families! A military wedding often incorporates symbols like gold medallions, and traditions such as sword cake-cuttings, that make the occasion distinctive.  Also, there is something about a bride or groom in uniform that adds to the emotion of the day. 

In honor of our country’s military personnel, True Photography proudly offers a 10% military discount on wedding photography to brides and grooms who have served our country. This ongoing promotion is extended to veterans as well as active duty personnel. Please visit our pricing section for more information. 

Here are a few of our favorite images from the military weddings we’ve recently photographed. We’d love to hear which image is your favorite!

Let’s have a party, we’ll all dance the Hora!

By, November 30, 2017

The Hora is a customary Jewish wedding celebration dance. Once the song Hava-Nagila starts playing, guests instinctively rush to the dance floor, and hold hands to form a circle around the bride and groom. The crowd then lifts the newly married couple up in chairs, to honor and celebrate their union. It is a fun and cardio-centric tradition that will get you off your feet, and get your heart rate up!

The tradition of the Hora started long ago, during the time of arranged marriages. The purpose was to bring the community together in celebration, and put the (presumably nervous) young couple at ease. These days, the Hora remains a highlight of Jewish weddings, and remains a way to honor a Jewish heritage.

As wedding photographers, when we capture the energy and the joy of this moment, we make sure to place ourselves at the perfect perspective. Whether we’re unobtrusively in the middle of the action, or shooting from the sidelines, we make sure to capture the energy and excitement of the moment. Check out the fun photos we’ve captured of some real life “Hora Stories” :)
