Scripps Seaside Forum San Diego, CA Wedding • Allie + Eric

Words cannot express how much I LOVE San Diego weddings. They’re always so perfect and Allie + Eric’s was no exception. The two started their day at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines for their first look and some wedding portraits. GET READY, because these are some gorgeous images if I do say so myself. […]

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT Justin

I've always been drawn to all things creative, but didn't pick up a camera until my senior year in high school to document a trip my friends and I were taking to San Francisco.  I had no idea how to correctly work my camera, but instantly fell in love with the concept of capturing moments in an artistic way.  I became obsessed with photographing anything and anyone willing to get in front of my lens.  Still lifes, landscapes, pets, people.  People.  What started out as a passion for photography quickly turned into a passion for people and the love they share.  I can't put words to the feeling of capturing fleeting moments, celebratory tears, warm embraces,  or loving glances.  What I can say is how incredibly fulfilling photographing weddings all over the west coast for the past twelve  years has been.  I'm thrilled to have you here and can't wait to work with you!
