There are so many talented wedding vendors in Southern California, how do you begin to narrow the choices down as you begin your wedding planning?! Well duh….pick the ones that help make your pictures look awesome!! š These are theĀ Best San Diego Wedding Vendors based on likability, experience, reviews, and the client experience they provide! I think we know why you’re here, therefore we did all the work for you!
After photographing dozens of weddings, we noticed a common trend that all brides have in common – they all want to feel like a princess on their special day. (well duh, it’s their wedding!) The little things matter to them because hey, after all, you only have 1 chance to get it right!
These are SoCal wedding vendors that get it right and have a smile on their face while they do so!
