Coronado Engagement Photos

admin — Thu, 17 May 2012 23:02:25 +0000

Coronado is such a beautiful place in San Diego to take engagement photos. The engagement photos we have posted below were taken in Coronado and photographed by Gene Higa, a San Diego wedding photographer. With the mom and pop shops that line the streets in Coronado there are vibrant colors that really make the photos pop. We love the splash of green that our bride to be has on the bottom of her dress. Also, girls as a photo tip don’t be afraid to wear a colored lipstick or gloss, don’t you just love how it looks.

San Diego Indian engagement photos taken by Braja Mandala a San Diego Indian wedding photographer

In a previous post we shared with you the vibrant yellow colors of a spring engagement session. Today we wanted to inspire you with rich hues of purples. Sometimes not every photography location is full of color so, if you are a color lover, it is going to have to come from your clothing or accessories that you wear. Our bride to be wore a purple dress to the first part of her San Diego engagement photo session. This added a much needed pop of color to her photographs. If you are taking your engagement photos in a place where there is not much color and looking to add color to your photos you can always bring along a bright scarf or pashmina.

San Diego wedding event design – Concepts Event Design showcases their products at the San Diego US Grant Bridal Show

We love Concepts Event Design because they are always coming out with new products for their San Diego brides and grooms. Along with their hanging mirror and custom made chase, one of their products really stood out to us this year. It was their new LOVE table. This would be a great idea as a cake table, for your guest cards or even for a candy station. Since it is white it can be illuminated to any color that you have for your wedding. Such a great idea.

One of our favorite elements was the floral wall. The floral wall was built from paper, piece by piece to form huge white flowers that draped the walls. The blue up lights really created drama and dimension to the floral wall. This would be a great element to add to your reception or even as a backdrop to your San Diego wedding ceremony. The floral wall was designed custom by Concepts Event Design and Thomas Bui Lifestyle.

San Diego Indian wedding photographer Braja Mandala photographs an Indian engagement session in San Diego.

Spring is in full bloom and the flowers are out in shades of yellows, whites and greens. When we saw this field of flowers we thought this would be a perfect location for an engagement session. A small bouquet of wild flowers was gently placed in between our bride to be’s engagement ring. Such a cute detail. Can you say bling bling? We used the flowers as a “prop” for our engagement shoot, it gave our couple something to play and interact with. We love how are groom to be put some flowers behind his fiances’ ear, so cute. Below is a few of our favorite photos.

US Grant Showcase – Wynn Austin Events & Kathy Wright Florals

admin — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:22:30 +0000

Yesterday we brought you the design of Wedding Elegance by Nahid and Shawna Yamamoto florals . Today we wanted to share with you another innovative booth at the San Diego US Grant bridal showcase by Wynn Austin Events, a San Diego wedding planner and Kathy Wright Florals, a San Diego wedding florist.

We were drawn to the outdoor, forest feel of their booth. If you are on Team Edward or Team Jakob, and you know who you are, Wynn’s booth would have pulled you in right away. We are loving the trees and rustic table. One of our favorite design ideas by Wynn Austin was her chalkboard. Although she used it to display the San Diego wedding vendors who helped create her booth the chalk board could be used for your guest seating chart, a sign in board, and so many other wonderful things for your wedding day.
