Presidio Park Wedding | San Diego, CA | Calla & Danielle

Presidio Park Wedding with a same sex couple in San Diego, CA by Briana Morrison Photography

Calla and Danielle’s Presidio Park wedding in San Diego, California was beyond dreamy. These two ladies are so stinkin’ cute together, so supportive of each other, and so well loved by their family and friends. The joy was contageous.

For their ceremony and reception Calla and Danielle chose to celebrate at the Handlery Hotel in San Diego. The space acted as a clean slate for the brides to make their own. The lush greenery and pool views added tropical flair to the couple’s Southern California wedding and the portraits taken at San Diego’s Presidio Park tied everything together in one gorgeous package.

That’s What She Said

“…Briana also took our wedding photos and all I can say is wow!!! I can’t think of enough great things to say about Briana! Her photos absolutely blew us away. She captured so many beautiful moments and is especially skilled at capturing those little candid moments that you’ll want to remember forever. She was such a joy to work with, we got so many comments from family and people in our wedding party about how sweet and professional she was. She knows just how to make things fun and comfortable in what can be a stressful situation. She was very helpful in planning which photos we were going to take and when. We decided to go offsite to take some photos on her recommendation and I am so glad we did. I was nervous about getting my dress and shoes dirty at the park we took photos at and there was one moment where I stepped in a bunch of dirt and it got all over my shoe and I started panicking. Briana knew just how to handle it, she really goes the extra mile to make the photos and the day the absolute best it can be! Her dedication to capturing love is absolutely amazing and beautiful. The photos will bring us so much joy for a lifetime to come and I can’t imagine the photos or our experience with her being any better. She has a special talent for capturing love and we love Briana!”

In the fall of 2017 I had a pleasure of photographing Calla & Danielle’s engagement. They opted for a super intimate at home session in their North Park apartment – so romantic! You can view their North Park engagement here.

From behind the lens to inside the gallery—what an honor to document Mandy Arroyo and her latest show, Tender, now on view at Elle Gallery in Portland through August 24th.

This is our third time working together, and it’s been such a joy to witness her evolution—from designer to full-time painter, and now to exhibiting artist. Mandy paints vibrant local landscapes using acrylics and oil pastels—her work is joyful, vibrant, and full of wonder.

If you’re local, go see it in person. You’ll leave inspired.

Mandy, thank you for trusting me to help share your story. It’s always a gift.

Yesterday felt like a dream. Tippy and Nate’s wedding at Timberline Lodge was one of the most peaceful, joy-filled, and magically timed days I’ve ever had the honor of documenting.

The moment we walked into the getting-ready suite, there were friends napping, someone softly strumming an acoustic guitar, and steamy excerpts being read from a romance novel—pure calm and intention.

The day flowed effortlessly. Family portraits were ahead of schedule, the light was stunning, and every moment felt filled with warmth.

During dinner, Nate casually joined the jazz band on drums (as one does), and then we wandered onto the mountain for the most incredible golden hour portraits. It was slow, cinematic, and absolutely perfect.

Tippy & Nate, thank you for including us in your beautiful wedding at Timberline Lodge. 💕

The first time I visited the Pantheon in Rome it was on accident. I stumbled across a colossal building while wandering the alleys and piazzas and figured I should check it out.

There was no line, no tickets, no crowd. The entire experience felt a little surreal.

Ten years later I visit again and now you need tickets to get inside. The sea of people out front is dense with tour guides and panhandling. A little of that magic stolen away.

So the trick is, for the exterior anyway, to visit at dawn. Catch this beauty before the crowds wake up, while the sun stretches over the rooftops to light up the solid marble pillars in golden light.

If you’re planning an elopement, wedding, or honeymoon in Rome, Italy I’d be honored to be your guide and photographer. I can bring you to all the best views and historic locations and know of an excellent private tour guide who can share the history of these beautiful places.
