Every wedding has its own unique charm, but Justin and Junnalyn’s celebration at The Lane in San Diego was truly something special. From the moment the day began, there was so much pure excitement and joy between the newly weds and from their friends and family. The Lane, with its stunning views of the San Diego bay and elegant spaces, provided the perfect backdrop for this love story. My favorite was golden hour on the pier! As a team of wedding photographers and videographers, we have the privilege of capturing these precious moments, and Justin and Junnalyn’s wedding was filled with countless unforgettable memories. See below all the emotions and beauty in the early morning preparations to the heartfelt toasts and dances.

Getting Ready

The day began with tons of excitement as Justin and Junnalyn prepared for their big day at The Lane in San Diego. The morning light shined through the windows, creating a warm glow in the bridal suite. Junnalyn, surrounded by her bridesmaids, was a vision of beauty as she got ready. Her elegant dress hung nearby, waiting for its moment to shine. Meanwhile, Justin and his groomsmen shared big laughs and nostalgic stories. Being surrounded by your best friends/hype team is the best way to start your wedding day! This day was full of positive energy and I'm all here for it.

Pre-Wedding Ceremony Portraits

Before the ceremony, we took advantage of the picturesque surroundings of The Lane for some couple and wedding party portraits. The lighting was perfect, casting a happy glow on the soon to be married couple with their closest friends and family. Justin and Junnalyn’s love for each other was evident in every shot, making our job as photographers a true joy. Their special four-legged furry friend even joined us for this exciting celebration and he rocked his tuxedo. From candid moments to posed portraits, each photo captured the beauty of their love story. Such a fun time and stunning photos!

The wedding ceremony took place in the stunning outdoor space at The Lane, with the San Diego skyline as a breathtaking backdrop. The aisle was adorned with beautiful floral arrangements and the weather was perfect, plus a special appearance from the couple's beloved pet dog in tuxedo (he was such a good boy). When Junnalyn walked down the aisle, escorted by her parents, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house, especially when they hugged in her send off. The lovely couple exchanged heartfelt vows, promising to love and cherish each other for a lifetime. It was the sweetest little ceremony with stunning views and the purest love.

Photography is much more than simply taking photos. It is an art form. Photos should make you feel something, whether that feeling is nostalgia, love, or happiness. I am constantly searching for the "perfect" photo, even though it does not exist. That constant search for perfection is what drives me to become better with every session.
