Ashlee and Jeff | Mission Beach Engagement Shoot

By True Photography, July 31, 2014 Engagements

Recently, we photographed the engagement of Ashlee and Jeff in Belmont Park, and the Mission Bay Sportcenter. This fun-loving couple met during their time as undergrads at the University of Arizona, but didn’t go on their first date until much later. This past year, Jeff surprised Ashlee with a proposal at her 1920’s-themed birthday, with many of her closest friends in attendance.

Although Ashlee and Jeff are Arizona residents, they knew they wanted to venture out of the desert and onto the beach. Keeping in line with their nautical themed wedding, a sailboat dock seemed like the perfect backdrop for the engagement shoot. However, the weekend they arrived in San Diego for the shoot, it rained the entire time! In fact, it poured up until about 2 hours before the shoot, and then the sky cleared in time for a gorgeous sunset.

During the shoot, we got great photos of Ashlee and Jeff in and around Belmont Park, enjoying the sights and carnival games. Then, we ventured down to Mission Bay Sportscenter for the oceanfront views. We are excited to photograph their upcoming wedding (and wish them better weather)! Check out highlights below from the photo session :)

Special thanks to future bride Ashlee for sharing her story :) For more recent engagement photo sessions, please visit our main site.

Wedding Celebration at the University Club Atop Symphony Towers

By The University Club, July 19, 2012 Venues

The University Club is the ideal venue for brides and grooms looking for a luxurious wedding venue in downtown San Diego. Our venue sits on the 34th floor of one of San Diego’s tallest buildings, Symphony Towers. We offer incredible packages, special services, the finest catering, and the most picturesque view you could ask for. It truly is the perfect spot for your perfect wedding ceremony and reception.

This past May, we were honored to host Elyse and Christopher’s beautiful wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at the University Club, featuring stunning views of the downtown skyline.

The ceremony was held in the Laureate ballroom, which is one of the crown jewels of the clubhouse. The room is highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking downtown San Diego. To add intimacy to the ceremony, White Wedding Day Events draped the ballroom with light lilac fabric. Below are images of the Laureate ballroom before and during the ceremony!

Following the ceremony, the bride and groom walked the streets of the Gaslamp for photos, while guests enjoyed the cocktail hour in the swanky Apollo Lounge. Just before the reception, the couple made a fun entrance into the Lounge, and joined their guests for a drink!

Later, the guests returned to the Laureate ballroom, which was transformed into a gorgeous reception space, with seating for up to 300 guests. While switching the room over from the ceremony, we pulled back the custom draping to change the vibe for the reception. Guests could now enjoy the amazing 360-degree views of San Diego, which includes Balboa Park, the Pacific Ocean, and the Coronado Bridge!

The tables were were beautifully set with specialty linens from White Wedding Day Events.

Elyse and Christopher’s wedding cake was embellished with fresh white peonies and sat in front of a candle backdrop.

Guests dined on entrees such as Stuffed Chicken Breast with Wild Mushrooms and Cedar Plank Salmon with Maple Glaze and Apple Chutney, made by our talented University Club chefs.
