Kelly + Stephan at Immaculata and the Witherby - Aquario Studio, San Diego Wedding Photography

Here are some pages from our new sample album, featuring Kelly and Stephan's wedding. The immaculata was stunning as always, the bride was exceptionally photogenic, and The Witherby is a really cool Downtown spot with slick '50's lounge wallpaper. Enjoy!

Engagement Session Canvas - Aquario Studio San Diego Wedding Photography

Stacie and Bill had their engagement session on a San Diego visit about two years ago, but Bill kind of never found the right moment to actually propose until recently :) Stacie is over the moon, and finally felt the time was right to order this spectacular canvas. As you can see, Bill is a Navy pilot. They were able to get John onto Miramar Air Base, and the session was amazing. There were so many great images to choose from, but I thought Stacie showed fabulous taste in selecting this one. Really classic. Best wishes to you both in your new life, wherever it may take you!

Farinaz + Paymon Sample Album -Aquario Studio San Diego Wedding Photography

Well, its that brief time of year when things get quiet and we stew in our creative juices! My favorite time of year. We use February and March to get all our new ideas and images into fresh sample albums. This one is especially exciting to me. Farinaz and Paymon were married in May at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, and John took them over to Balboa Park for an exquisitely romantic session. Their wedding was just a gorgeous Persian affair, with tons of rich deep colors. Yes, this is the same one featured in Ceremony magazine, with Laura Rizzo coordinating and Ana Aftahi from Floral Works doing the flowers etc ("etcetera" in this case being crazy amazing). I just HAD to play that up for this sample, so you'll see some rather over-the-top background color and texture treatments. But I LOVE it!! I pulled out all the stops for the cover as well. This is a 12x18 album (yes, you heard right, this is a BIG one), with Finao Armour and Bohemian leather. the Armour is actually a black and white photo engraved into a sheet of metal, and the Bohemian leather is a very deep reptile-like leather. It was killing me waiting for it to arrive!
