So when our gorgeous couple Rebecca and Mario chose the Bob Hoffman Photography & Video team to capture their stunning wedding in Aruba, we felt extra blessed! Check out the view from this stunning location! The ceremony was so romantic- Palm Beach at the gorgeous Ritz-Carlton Aruba at sunset.  Their wedding canopy was draped with a beautiful array of blooms from Shar's Flowers. The couple offered a shoe valet to encourage all those attending to walk barefoot on the beach for the special event. This bridal party had a blast from start to finish. We even snuck in a fun group photo in the Ritz-Carlton's Casino! Then at the super cool House of Mosaic they partied the night away with their family and friends to the sounds of Swing Masterz Entertainment. Later we had a quiet moment to take night photos with the couple and we were able to take some sparkler photos on the beach! What a special couple and trip! We feel so honored that Rebecca and Mario chose us to capture such a wonderful event in their lives. #thedurandisseswedinparadise

Cristie and Jimmy's wedding was so beautiful, it's been picked up all around the internet at some of the top wedding blogs in San Diego and beyond! Their epic party was picture-perfect from start to finish with gorgeous details like hand drawn calligraphy, stunning pink and cream florals, a perfectly draped tent for dancing, and a stunning sunset complete with romantic hot air balloons off in the distance. Their big day wasn't just beautiful, however, they also managed to throw a wild dance party to the tunes of Encore Event Entertainment, and their guests were LOVING IT! Amid the fog and lights, even the bride and groom were getting down and letting loose, and things got a little wild! Check it out, with other great moments from their day below:

Cristie's bridal accessories in muted tones of snow white, pale pink, and creamy ivory popped perfectly against the colorful background of the Santaluz Club in Black Mountain Ranch. Her gorgeous gown from Mia Bella Couture, with its bedazzled lace and stylish silhouette, looks right at home amongst the rustic, yet modern surroundings.

The girls got ready in the CUTEST matching PJs you'll ever see, sipping on drinks while the superstar makeup artists from A Toast to Beauty made them look their very best. Soon after, was time to take some seriously cute portraits of Cristie and her girls having a great time all around Santaluz. We had a blast with the bridal party while their second photographer was hanging with the guys:

Clearly, Jimmy and his friends are a bunch of goofballs who know how to have a good time! They were looking sharp in their grey suits and navy accent pieces as they romped around the club taking pictures. After taking some shots, both silly and sweet, of the groomsmen, the big moment of the couple's first look was upon us!

There were smiles and happy tears all around as the happy couple saw each other for the first time in their wedding attire. After a group shot, they started preparing to head to the church and down the aisle to become husband and wife!

After a sweet exchange between Cristie and her dad, the two took their places at the end of the aisle for that special walk, and the anticipation was tangible in the air as Jimmy waited patiently for his beautiful bride to come through the doors.

Their traditional Catholic ceremony was heartfelt and beautiful, and the setting itself, with its open, airy feel and vaulted ceilings, was almost as beautiful as the vows. The newlyweds looked absolutely overjoyed as they turned to face the congregation of friends and family as husband and wife, and they smiled constantly as they made their way back down the aisle. After some family photos at the altar, everyone headed back to Santaluz to get the party started! Cristie & Jimmy Wedding - HoffmanPhotoVideo-633Cristie & Jimmy Wedding - HoffmanPhotoVideo-633

We loved these huge wooden doors as a backdrop for some amazing couples portraits!

The reception tent at Santaluz was draped and decorated with beautiful blooms, chiavari chairs, gorgeous glass peices, and cute personal touches galore! The custom designed paper goods by Just Jurf were an amazing upscale touch and looked fantastic on the tables, adding a pop of pale pink to the classic white linens.

Text Reading: Vineyard Elegance-Real Wedding-Bess and BraedonBlog title: Vineyard ElelganceBride and groom under wedding veil overlooking Falkner Winery in Temecula, CA.

The countryside surrounding Temecula has long been well known as San Diego County's "wine country," and, like most wine producing regions of the world, its natural beauty is hard to surpass, with rolling green hills stretching on for miles and clear, bright blue skies giving the area an inherent sense of peace. Nestled among the vines, up on a hill overlooking the valley, is Falkner Winery, the charming venue where our next featured wedding took place. Sweet, spunky Bess and her handsome groom Braedon chose Falkner as the place where they would become husband and wife, and really incorporated the essence of wine country into their big day, from getting ready at a gorgeous estate nearby with its own very own vines, to their DIY wine bottle table toppers, cork name card holders, and wine bottle stopper favors, and of course, their gorgeous ceremony site which overlooks Falkner's expansive vineyards.

Home base for wedding day prep was this incredible Temecula estate with amazing sweeping views of the surrounding mountains, sparkling pool, and its very own vineyard. We'll move right in, thanks!

More purple and blue florals continued the theme in the reception area, and the wine bottle table toppers made for a cute DIY touch, and we absolutely love the personalized wine bottle stopper as a favor idea! Also, the cork name card holders are fun and functional, not to mention cost-effective!

We ended the night with some portraits of the new husband and wife in Falkner's barrel room, for the authentic winery wedding look, and then headed back to the ceremony site for a romantic backlit shot that we absolutely love. These shots were a perfect way to cap off the day, incorporating this fun, feisty couple's love for wine and each other.  We're so honored to have been a part of their amazing wedding!

These high school sweethearts finally tied the knot on February 27, 2016 on the idyllic grounds of Wedgewood Fallbrook. Since the two been dating for over 10 years, their families were pretty well intertwined to begin with, but their wedding officially sealed the deal, and the two families became one, and partied the night away with a custom photo booth, a tempting dessert table, and lots of dancing! Their classic, romantic details and intimate setting combined with such a timeless love story made for a truly unforgettable evening for everyone in attendance.

Special details included a handmade ring box inscribed with the newlyweds' initials and their wedding date, and a handkerchief that has been carried down the aisle by women in Elizabeth's family for generations. That tradition is a darling example of the importance family played in their special day.

The heartfelt ceremony started with a violin performance of Pachelbel's Canon in D by Elizabeth's sister and nephew, a sweet tribute to the two lovebirds. The two promised to love and cherish with the gorgeous greens of Wedgewood in the background, and then walked back down the aisle as Mr. and Mrs. through a huge cloud of bubbles!

This darling couple was SUCH a joy to work with, and their story couldn't be sweeter! They met while working in the youth ministry at the very church where we captured their heartfelt ceremony, and they were surrounded by what seemed like the entire church community as they lovingly said their vows.

It's that lovely time of year where birds sing, the sky is bright and blue, and flowers are in bloom everywhere you look. Speaking of flowers, bouquets are a beautiful wedding tradition that we love to photograph at every wedding we attend. We’ve seen it all, from lush tropical cascades of orchids to simply sweet multicolored bunches of billy buttons and peonies, and we want to showcase some of our favorites so we can share the joy of springtime with you all!

This year, our team had the great fortune to be able to travel to the little town of Las Vegas to attend The WPPI Wedding & Portrait Photography Conference+Expo along with around 13,000 of our fellow photographers and media makers. We had a blast exploring the seemingly endless rows of gear, album companies, and demo booths, and we attended seminars by top industry professionals like Sue Bryce, Peter Hurley, Doug Gordon, Clint Mautner, and Roberto Valenzuela to name just a few!

Kat + Willem | La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club | Real Wedding https://www.hoffmanphotovideo.com/blog/2016/2/kat-willem-la-jolla-beach-tennis-club-real-wedding Their Proposal Story: After graduation, and nearly two years of long-distance dating, both Kat and Willem would eventually settle in for a new adventure in Portland. Willem thought he had the one when Kat agreed to watch 100-plus A's games in the summer of 2014. He knew he had the one when Kat didn't leave him after his meltdown in the hours following the A's collapse in the playoffs.With his mind made up, Willem planned his proposal. Knowing that Kat's only wish in life is to get a puppy, Willem put a deposit down for a Golden Doodle. He then bought a collar with the name of the couple's future dog (Andi, short for Anderson, if you're wondering) and placed the collar on Snowy, the Suyderhoud family dog. While walking Snowy on Baker Beach in San Francisco, Willem surprised Kat with the collar and the news of the soon-to-be arriving addition to their apartment. Moments later, Willem followed up with a proposal. Kat channeled her inner Marv Albert and said, "Yes!"

As you can see these two love birds had an amazing celebration at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club surrounded by all their favorite friends & family!

We had so much fun celebrating their beautiful day with them! They were surrounded by all the ones they love and we felt very honored to be part of their day.

A few months after their wedding we got to capture a fun photo shoot with Cynthia's family! We had a blast getting to know them and finding new spots around Balboa Park! 




A little while after Cynthia & Kevin called to let us know they were expecting their first child together! We were so excited to photograph their maternity session and get to meet baby Randall a few weeks after he was born!

Ashley + Matt | Best Western Island Palms Wedding https://www.hoffmanphotovideo.com/blog/2015/9/ashley-matt-best-western-island-palms  
Ashley & Matt are absolutely adorable! They had a beautiful wedding at the Best Western Island Palms on Shelter Island. Their day was filled with unique details such as a first look, wine box ceremony, and a sweet serenade by their great friends!
 







 Matt and his groomsmen showed off their superhero attire while Ashley and her bridesmaids were stunning in turquoise and pink! 
 






 
**** Wedding Idea:  In addition to the vows Matt and Ashley exchanged, they also chose to perform a wine box ceremony. The box contains a bottle of wine and love letters they wrote each other. The letters describe the good qualities they find in each other, the reasons they fell in love, and their reasons for choosing to marry. The letters have been sealed in individual envelopes and they have not seen what the other has written. 
 
Their officiant, Reverend Bob said, "You have created your very own "romantic" time capsule to be opened on your fifth wedding anniversary. I recommend that you keep the box in a place of honor prominently displayed in your home as a constant reminder of your commitment to each other. Matt and Ashley, should you ever find your marriage enduring insurmountable hardships, you are to as a couple, open this box, sit and drink the wine together, then read the letters you wrote to one another when you were united as a couple in marriage. By reading these love letters you will reflect upon the reasons you fell in love and chose to marry each other here today. The hope is, however, that you will never have a reason to open this box. And if this is the case, you are to open this box to share and enjoy on your fifth wedding anniversary! Matt and Ashley, you may now seal the box!"

Hilary + Trevor | San Diego LDS Temple & Darlington House Real Wedding https://www.hoffmanphotovideo.com/blog/2015/5/hilary-trevor  
 
 
 
 
 
One of San Diego's most beautiful and prominent buildings is the LDS San Diego California Temple.  There is nothing else quite like it, so any time we have the opportunity to use it as a backdrop for our photographs we jump at the opportunity. 
 
Especially when we have such a beautiful and kind couple like Hilary and Trevor getting married there.
 
Hilary and Trevor had a beautiful ceremony at the temple and then we joined them for a fun filled reception at the Darlington House in the heart of La Jolla.  These two sure know how to have fun and you can definitely see all of the love they share.  Thanks for sharing your big day with us.

Tina + Kellen | Coronado Island Engagement Session https://www.hoffmanphotovideo.com/blog/2015/4/tina-kellen-engagement-photo-1

 It was a normal Friday night on Coronado Island until this couple walked out and lit up the entire beach.

  Kellen in his uniform and Tina in her perfect "spring-time" sundress gave this photo shoot such a classic and romantic feel.  Tina has a great eye for fashion and arrived at our shoot with important features that she knew she wanted photographed. We love her suggestions of the knot and the dog-tags. Plus, sneaking a kiss behind the American flag is pretty high up on the cute factor.

We are very appreciative to all of those that serve in the Armed Forces and we our grateful that our community is filled with such heroes.  We are especially grateful for Tina and Kellen for letting us capture this special moment fin their lives.

The rings next to the emblem of the Marines highlight two strong and beautiful legacies.

Some Beautiful Wedding Highlights https://www.hoffmanphotovideo.com/blog/2015/3/2014-wedding-highlight We publish a lot of different videos for our clients, and in a scramble to keep up we don't always get to share as much as we'd like. Luckily one of our editors created this quick recap video full of examples of videos we've done over the last couple of months.

I think it is a great recap of our work over the past couple of months and specifically shows the fun and pride we take in capturing the irreplaceable moments in a couples lives.


We work with so many cool and charismatic couples and we would love to add you to that list. If you are interested in capturing every moment of your special day let us know and we'll show you exactly what we can do for you.

Tram + Khanh | Old Poway Park Vintage Engagement Session https://www.hoffmanphotovideo.com/blog/2014/12/tram-khanh-1
Tram and Khanh are one heck of a cute couple. 

We all came together at Old Poway Park for this specific engagement shoot.  We love to shoot at Old Poway Park because it is what I like to call an inception location.  You get one giant lush park with tons of smaller, more intimate places to take photos. There are locations inside of locations. Inception.

The park is next an old train station so there is a great vintage feel to everything:  Train tracks, box cars, white picket fences.  Khanh came up with the idea to include the suitcase which gave the whole shoot a cool narrative.

Can't you just see these two hitting the road, on the lam,  Bonnie and Clyde style.  What is in that suitcase Khanh???

They both enjoy photography and have a great eye together so it was a huge pleasure and ease to shoot the two of them.

We will update the blog very soon with photos from their actual wedding.  Keep an eye out!

Wiggin + Jeff | The Dana & The Bahia Real Wedding https://www.hoffmanphotovideo.com/blog/2014/10/wiggin-and-jeff-wedding-real-wedding-1



Wiggin and Jeff are a dream couple. Truly, truly a dream.  

We posted their wonderful engagement photos a few month ago on our blog (which you should definitely check out) so we thought we'd give you an update on their beautiful wedding day. 

Wiggin and Jeff had an outdoor wedding on the back lawn of The Dana Hotel on Mission Bay facing the water on a day with storybook perfect weather.  Great vibes and smiling faces throughout the entire ceremony as friends and family gathered to celebrate this union.

There was a good break between ceremony and the reception, which was lucky for us because we got to take this time to cruise to some of our favorite San Diego spots and capture even more images.

We have to say besides Jeff being one handsome dude and Wiggin being an undeniable beauty they are also some of the sweetest and smartest people in the world.  We wish them every happiness.


One unique thing about this wedding was that Wiggin and Jeff had games running throughout the reception for both them and their guests to participate in.  They had trivia and selfie scavenger hunts amongst many others.  It really gave the evening a great flow and kept everyone in a happy-go-lucky mood.

Monica & Kevin Jewell are from Los Angeles but they knew they wanted to have a nice outdoor wedding so they traveled south to the beautiful Bernardo Winery to have their ceremony.  We have to commend them on their decision because they chose an absolutely perfect day. 

Monica & Kevin were great to work with and so cheerful.  You could definitely see their love and joy throughout the ceremony. There was a bunch of beautiful lighting and the vineyard was a great rustic backdrop. We hope you guys love this couple and these pictures as much as we do.


 Monica has a great eye for detail and her creative touches came through in every aspect of the wedding. We loved the flowery headbands on the bridesmaids and the old timey suitcase for guests to put gifts in!

We had a wonderful time taking these  photos with our friends Wiggin & Jeff.  We shot these just down the road from their house at a really wonderful park.

They brought balloons and sparklers and had such great ideas. They are undeniably cute together and it was easy to get great pictures from such a loving couple.

We can't wait to see what they do with their wedding.  I'm sure it's going to melt our hearts.

We got to shoot Allie and David's wedding at the Green Gables Wedding Estate a few weeks ago and we had a great time doing so.

Allie and David were so fun and game to do most everything we suggested.  We had Allie hoisted in the air by the groomsmen and the couple swinging from rope swings.  Allie and David brought out each others spontaneity and joy for life the whole day.

They are a great couple and we wish them all the happiness in the world.

Danielle + Garrett | La Costa Resort Real Wedding https://www.hoffmanphotovideo.com/blog/2014/1/danielle-garrett-la-costa-resort_8-1

Danielle & Garrett's wedding was at held the beautiful La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, California. As our team arrived and saw all of the care going into the details, we knew it was going to be an extremely special day.

The couple made it official in front of their friends and family, overlooking the green hills of the La Costa golf course.  Their reception followed and was filled with great toasts, lots of dancing, and tons of personalized details like elephant figurines and an ASU trident groom cake!

Danielle and Garrett are both stunning and generally just cool people, so it is no surprise that everything about their wedding day represented their fun loving personalities. We are so happy for them.

Christy + Steve | Reformation Lutheran Church & The Lafayette Real Wedding https://www.hoffmanphotovideo.com/blog/2013/11/christy-steve-1
Christy and Steve's wedding and reception were such fun events to capture.  Christy got ready at the historic Lafayette Hotel in San Diego (where the couple's reception was also held) before she met her husband-to-be to be at their church to make it official!

 

The reception was an all out party! Antique decorations and unique details coincided perfectly with the couples styling as well as the vintage ambiance of The Lafayette. The night was spent celebrating and dancing to a stellar Jazz band- but the fun was kicked up a notch when Steve's own band took to the stage and brought the house down!
 Steve sure can play a mean guitar.

Lindsey + Steven | Hotel Del Coronado and Miguelito's Real Wedding https://www.hoffmanphotovideo.com/blog/2013/10/lindsey-steven-hotel-del-coronado-and-1

Lindsey works as a nurse at a hospital in Arizona. On December 20, 2012 Steven had Lindsey's favorite patient write a card that read "will you marry me." When Lindsey went to the patient's room she was surprised to read the card and asked the little girl "who helped you make this?" It was then that Steven appeared in the room and got down on one knee, and she was completely surprised! 

We were so happy to be able to edit this special moment into their wedding video:





Less than a year later, Lindsey and Steven held an intimate beach ceremony on the sand in front of the Hotel del Coronado. Their colors were Tiffany Blue and Yellow and at the end of their ceremony as they walked down the aisle as husband and wife, their guests had some fun throwing mini beach balls their way!!! The following day, before heading home to Arizona, Lindsey and Steven met with their photographers and videographer one last time at the beach for a beautiful day after photo shoot in the water and sand.

Shane + James | Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines Real Wedding https://www.hoffmanphotovideo.com/blog/2013/9/shane-james-hilton-la-jolla-torrey-pines-1
Shane and James, along with their families and coordinator Amy Vargas of First Comes Love, threw a stunning wedding at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines this summer. The varied pink and brown tones complimented their playful personalities and jovial atmosphere. Guests were treated to a beautiful ceremony at the picturesque hotel, a few fun appearances from Winston the bull dog, old fashioned coca-cola glasses at the cocktail hour, and a stellar reception followed by a sweets table for dessert. Shane & James elected to do a first look before their ceremony, which gave them plenty of time for a relaxed and playful photo session. After the ceremony they enjoyed their time with their guests and danced the night away.  Have a look below at all of their perfectly planned details. From the cake topper and ring box to the linen on their sweetheart table, this wedding is packed with ideas and inspiration.

Thank you Shane & James for selecting us to document your day! We're honored and excited to share these photos...and soon your video!
