San Diego & Destination Wedding Photography
You’ve found your soulmate. Your boo. Your person. Whatever you call them, I’d say that’s pretty damn exciting. But, unless you’re like me and have been planning your wedding in great detail since you were in high school, it can be really overwhelming! All that stress makes it really easy to lose sight of how special this time in your life should be. Frankly, wedding planning can be really hard, but finding a photographer doesn’t have to be.
Years from now, your wedding day will be a distant memory. You want photos that bring you right back. Photos that remind you what your partner’s face looked like when they saw you for the first time that day, what emotions you felt as you stood at the alter, what moves you busted out on the dance floor. You don’t want awkward smiles, forced poses, and faked moments. You want photos that so authentically demonstrate your love, that it can be felt by your grandchildren as they flip through the pages of your photo album 40 years from now.
I’m open to shooting all kinds of weddings. I don’t care who you love, who you worship, or what you look like. The diversity of the human race is something I find incredibly beautiful, and it’s my job to make sure your unique beauty shines through all your photos and that you feel valued on your special day.
Who Am I?
The name’s Nena. I’m a lifelong San Diegan, and I absolutely love what I do! I can’t imagine anything I’d rather be dedicating my life to than making art commemorating true love!
I’ve been in business since 2013, so you’re in good hands with me. When I’m not photographing rad people like you, traveling, and blogging, you can catch me eating way too much sushi, taking my good bois to the doggo beach, or sipping a beer flight at the nearest brewery.
I’m not the kind of photographer who shows up on your wedding day, shakes your hand, takes some photos, and leaves. By the day of the wedding, I want us to already have a relationship and an honest connection. I want you both to feel comfortable enough around me to be your true selves – I want the photos we make together to capture the authentic love you show each other when no one’s watching.
