Pastels and palm trees set the stage for this cheerful wedding in San Diego! Everything from the stunning outdoor venue, to the awe inspiring sunset portraits of the bride and groom, and down to the last succulent have us absolutely in love with the wedding day of Joanne and Oscar! Keep scrolling to see how this romantic wedding came to life.

Our blushing bride looked positively radiant in her gorgeous wedding gown. The dreamy sleeveless gown featured a V-neckline with a lace overlay, tulle A-line skirt, and a satin ribbon at the waist to tie it all together. Neutral and pastel colors can help to create a bright and airy feel to any wedding, and this one certainly takes the cake! Joanne’s bridesmaids looked simply stunning by her side! Oscar and his groomsmen continue with the neutral theme with cream suits, simple boutonnieres, and a perfectly placed pocket square on our groom.

It is totally natural to feel nervous reciting your wedding vows in front of such a large audience on your wedding day. With handwritten vows, your spouse-to-be will know that you are speaking from the heart, and that is what truly matters. Joanne and Oscar prove that when you’re talking to your best friend, you will feel like you are the only two in the room. We love how this San Diego wedding photographer captured these candid moments of the bride and groom with their vows. The photos of this sweet moment are truly worth a thousand words!

Make sure to save time to capture traditional family wedding portraits. You may even want to give your photographer a shot list ahead of time to ensure you capture a portrait with everyone that you hold dear. Give yourself some extra time with the family, bridal party, and if possible, the whole wedding audience!

Joanne & Oscar prove that a beautiful wedding portrait can be captured at time of day! From the stunning portraits of the bride before the ceremony, through golden hour and into blue hour, this couple certainly took advantage of every opportunity. The golden hour, also known as the ‘magic hour’ in photography, occurs one hour before sunset and provides for that beautiful radiant and glowing sunlight. Immediately after comes the blue hour, which takes place during the hour after sunset. These blue hour waterside portraits of Joanne and Oscar simply leave us speechless. This wedding inspires us to plan a party that lasts from dusk ‘til dawn!
