{Elissa & Jason} A Coronado Beach Wedding

There is nothing like the blues of the sky and sea in Coronado…. I love to shoot there on a beautiful sunny day. Elissa and Jason’s wedding and reception were beautiful…. we took pictures at The Hotel Del Coronado and then also at Loews Coronado where they held the reception…. two of my favorite Coronado wedding locations!
