Creative Director's Letter

You’re holding in your hands the second issue of Exquisite Weddings by San Diego Magazine. As creative director, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of San Diego’s finest wedding vendors, and have been incredibly pleased with the support and enthusiasm of everyone involved.

An amazing amount of effort goes into each photo shoot, and each comes with its own set of unique challenges. On the day of our tabletop shoot at La Costa Resort and Spa, we were greeted with torrential downpours, yet our vendors dealt with the situation and still managed to create gorgeous tabletops for the day. The bridal gown shoot came off without a hitch, but our offices were a little cramped—all 50 gowns hung from the rafters, creating a bit of an obstacle course. But the most interesting challenge arose at the menswear shoot. I never imagined that I would be running around downtown San Diego trying to buy men’s underwear (apparently male models don’t wear them as a requirement for photo shoots). But we did feel they were necessary. I’m sure someone will question that entry on my expense report.

Weddings of San Diego have truly come to life in the pages of Exquisite Weddings. We couldn’t do it without the support of San Diego’s wedding community. Please enjoy the issue!
