Nautical Nuptials

By, July 27, 2017

There’s nothing more distinctly San Diego than our iconic coasts and bays! For the seafaring couple, there are many options available to get close to the water. Whether it’s a ceremony overlooking San Diego’s gorgeous waterfront, or a floating reception under the nighttime skyline, a nautical wedding is classic and romantic. Here are a few examples of couples who celebrated by (or on) the water:

The couple opted for an “unplugged” ceremony, requesting that guests put away phones and cameras. That way, everyone was able relax and enjoy the occasion :)

Mission Beach Engagement Photo Shoot

By, December 18, 2014
[geo_mashup_map]

Mission Beach is a great spot to have fun and play off each other as a couple. There is so much to do, including riding the roller coaster, playing carnival games, and enjoying a boardwalk treat. The scene pops with color, and there are interesting backdrops at every turn.

After a few spins on the Tilt-a-Whirl, you may be ready for a change of pace. For a more natural setting, the beach is just steps away, across the street. The beach itself is a large, open area that seems to stretch forever, and has quieter spots where you can let loose or enjoy a romantic moment together.

To set up your own Mission Beach engagement shoot, feel free to contact us. And for inspiration, please enjoy recent engagement photos we captured in and around Mission Beach.
