Del Mar Engagement Session | Chelsea and Brandon

By True Photography, April 28, 2016 Engagements

It sounds counter-intuitive, but bad weather conditions often make for the most amazing images. For example, at Chelsea and Brandon’s beach engagement session in Del Mar, the storm clouds were looming, and the sky looked menacing. However, by adding a warm blanket, some champagne, and an adorable dog named Jeter, the clouds were barely noticeable :)

We give props to Chelsea and Brandon for making the most of an overcast beach day. It was a really fun engagement photo shoot, and we are looking forward to their wedding later this year at Luce Loft. Hmm, we kind of hope Jeter will be there!

For more fun in the sun (and sand), check out our collection of recent beach wedding photos.

Thursday Club Wedding | Christina and Donald

By True Photography, April 20, 2016 Weddings

Christina and Donald tied the knot at The Thursday Club, a Spanish-style clubhouse located in Point Loma. This venue, originally built in 1927, features historic details inside, such as stained glass windows and immaculate hardwood floors. Outside, there are rolling green lawns, immaculate gardens, and pristine ocean views. The location was made even more amazing by Seven Stems, who filled the day with greens, blues, succulents, and splashes of pink flowers. It was a beautiful wedding for this fun couple, who planned the entire event from out of town.

As you can tell from the photos below, Donald is a Military man. For our clients serving in the armed forces, our studio offers a special discount. It is important to know why we are offering this discount. It is 100% to show our thanks and support for the sacrifices that they make to ensure our safety. It is for their loyalty, dedication and commitment to this country, giving us the ability and freedom to do what we love. We all ‘True’-ly thank you for your service. It means so much.

Here are some highlights from the day…

We love the various styles and shades of these bridesmaids dresses, especially when paired with these elegant florals.

Christina’s talented sister actually hand-made this wedding cake topper with wire (below left).

Founders Chapel | University of San Diego

By True Photography, April 12, 2016 Venues

Founders Chapel is a house of worship located on the University of San Diego campus. Dating back to 1953, the chapel was built for what was then the San Diego College for Women. Today, it is a popular ceremony location, and is exclusive to USD students, alumni and staff. We love photographing at this classical and traditional site, and incorporating the venue’s details into memorable ceremony photographs.

Having two photographers means being able to document ceremony moments from multiple perspectives, as in the photos above.

The broad and open space of the venue allows us to capture unique vantage points, like the one below.

To capture unexpected point-of-view images, we look for opportunities such as the balcony, which has railings and gates that can be photographed through.
