LIZZIE & ROCKY’S CLASSIC EDITORIAL WEDDING AT THE GUILD HOTEL IN SAN DIEGO

Lizzie and Rocky’s story started in Kindergarten and brought us all the way to St. Joseph's Cathedral on a December day in downtown San Diego, California. The day started with getting ready and a first look atThe Guild Hotel. The newly designed space blends classic elegance with luxe design, perfect for Lizzie and Rocky’s vision. They opted for a classic color pallet of blacks and whites, and opted for timeless documentary style of photography which led them to me.

Ceremony at St. Joseph's Cathedral

St. Joseph's Cathedral is full of arches, tall ceilings and beautiful stained-glass windows. As they exchange heartfelt promises, guests are captivated by the emotional moments, all of which are beautifully captured through documentary photography. This style focuses on candid shots that reflect the couple's genuine emotions and the joy of the day.

A Luxe Reception at The Guild Hotel

After the ceremony, the celebration continues at The Guild Hotel. This venue combines modern luxury with historical charm, featuring stylish décor and an inviting atmosphere. There were truly gorgeous corners everywhere, from staircases, velvet couches and gold elevators. We had so much fun creating and exploring.

The highlight of the reception? The couple's wedding cake, adorned with the playful phrase "Forever Crush," symbolizing their journey from childhood friends to lifelong partners.

Artful Photography for Your Special Day

For couples looking to capture their wedding in a unique way, hiring a photographer who specializes in both documentary and editorial wedding photography is essential. This combination ensures that every moment, from candid interactions to artistic posed shots, is documented beautifully.
