Wedding: Lillian & Binh @ The Prado, Balboa Park, San Diego

Black and White Bridal Portrait at the wooden bridge in Balboa Park, San Diego

I remember a many years ago when I first visited Balboa Park in San Diego when I was still experimenting with photography.  I spent a whole day there taking pictures at the San Diego Zoo and I was impressed by the massive size, landscape, and especially fascinated by the beautiful architecture there (note to self: I still need to find a chance to visit the museums there).  I just couldn’t be happier when Lillian and Binh told me they’re getting married at the Prado in Balboa Park!  The Prado is a historical landmark in San Diego and it’s simply a treat to shoot there.

The two of them bursted into tears and they almost made us cry as well.. =)

Pictures like these shows why I love the photojournalism aspect of my job where you simply cannot reproduce anything like this no matter how well you pose.  This is the type of images that I really treasure on my own wedding, and I’m blessed to have the opportunity to help others perserve theirs as well.

after the ceremony we took a moment to take a few portraits with them, and we found plenty of beautiful scenery around the Prado
