Why I love shooting in Coronado
Coronado is my most-requested wedding city, and every session I shoot here I still find a new corner. Hotel del's beach frontage is famous for a reason, but I'll pull couples to the north lawn or Centennial Park for portraits that don't look like every other Coronado wedding on Instagram. Ferry Landing at sunset with the downtown skyline behind you is undefeated.
On the light: Sunset here lights up the sandstone cliffs across the bay, throwing pink and orange onto faces from an unexpected direction.
Logistics worth knowing: Beach permits are required for weddings on Coronado beach and I file them for every wedding client at least 30 days out.

Landmarks & neighborhoods
Couples and families I've worked with in Coronado love landmarks like Hotel del Coronado, Coronado Beach, Coronado Bridge, and neighborhoods including Coronado Village, The Shores, Coronado Cays. Each brings its own texture to a session — historic charm, ocean breeze, or family-friendly open space. Tell me which neighborhood you live in or where you got engaged and I'll build the shoot around it.
Best times to shoot
- Beach sunrise
