Perfect lighting, good composition...one might think a beautiful photo pops right out of the woodwork. But in reality, that couldn't be further from the truth! There are SO many factors that go into a photo session. And one thing we know for sure is that location is everything! No idea where to start looking? Don't sweat it! Over the next few weeks, we'll be taking a coast-to-coast tour of the photo locations that never cease to amaze us. Our first stop? San Diego!
Rugged mountain ranges, sparkling seascapes...there's a reason they call San Diego "America's Finest City"?! Every inch of this SoCal paradise is as pretty as a postcard — and covered in pretty spectacular photo locations. If you're a San Diego native planning a photo sesh, these are the spots that deserve a place on your shot list.
Location #1:
Exotic charm meets West Coast luxury — um, yes please! The Catamaran is one of San Diego's premier resorts, and also happens to be one of our favorite spots for weddings and photo sessions. Just be sure to call ahead and plan in advance, especially if you're planning an e-session here!
Location #2:
Two words: Breathtaking. View. You won't get a much better glimpse of those iconic San Diego beaches than Cuvier Park. And it appears other couples have the same idea! This spot is also lovingly known as The Wedding Bowl, as it reigns supreme for the most popular wedding location along the La Jolla Coastline!
Location #3:
Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens
Every city's got its historical crown jewel — and this, my friends, is San Diego's! Built by the McDougal family as an effort to create a storybook venue for sweet weddings and events (love that!), the gardens here are simply breathtaking, which means major gorgeous-ness for your photos. Again, be sure to call in advance and research photo permits!
Location #4:
The Lorimar Vineyards and Winery
Sure, we've got a soft spot for winery photo sessions. Who doesn't?! The Lorimar Winery is as California as you can get — beautiful scenery, rows of enchanting vineyards...and we're not even talkin' about the property's living art gallery (hello, photo ops!). Whether you're planning out your wedding ceremony or simply looking for an incredible e-session spot, this location is truly pure perfection.
Well, that's a wrap of our tour through San Diego! Stay tuned next week as we explore the chic and unique streets of Austin! Have a happy Monday, readers! Xo, Amanda
