Pacific Beach is a quintessential San Diego beach community. It’s like a rite of passage for those of us who grew up here, or came to San Diego for college and never left. Everyone passes through PB at some point. The vibe is young and fun, like a classic college town. Pick any eclectic crowd and you’re likely to find students, young professionals, and billionaires in board shorts.

We like photographing engagements here year round, but especially when summer is over and the vibe is a little more mellow. The long boardwalk is ideal for biking or skateboarding, so feel free to bring your wheels for a more active shoot. And of course, the beach area is breathtaking and full of unexpected surprises. Even if we don’t run into local legend Slomo during our shoot, it’s sure to be a fun time.

To arrange your own Pacific Beach engagement shoot, feel free to contact us. For inspiration, please enjoy these recent engagement photos we captured in and around Pacific Beach.

A Sweet Surprise | Groom’s Cake Inspiration Board

By, August 13, 2013

Between the delicate florals, sparkling jewelry, and flowing gown, a wedding can be a very bride-centric day. Fortunately, there is a rediscovered wedding tradition that pays tribute to the man of the night – a groom’s cake!

The custom of a groom’s cake can be traced back to England’s Victorian Era. During a Victorian wedding, separate cakes were served for the wedding guests, bridesmaids, and groomsmen. The groom’s cake, typically a rich, dark fruitcake with no icing, was often boxed up for guests to take home at the end of the night. According to legend, a single woman who slept with a slice of groom’s cake under her pillow would dream about her future husband that night!

All fables aside, a groom’s cake remains a very fun and relevant tradition. These days, groom’s cakes are typically designed in a way to showcase the groom’s favorite hobbies or interests, and are available in every flavor imaginable. If it fits within the dessert budget, we think a groom’s cake is a sweet way to celebrate the man of honor!

Below are some favorite groom’s cakes we’ve captured at recent weddings. Sports cakes are a popular option, and we can’t stop talking about the SPAM cake! What’s the most creative or unusual groom’s cake you’ve seen?
