Westgate Hotel Weddings | Downtown San Diego wedding photography

Elegant Westgate Hotel Wedding | Downtown San Diego Photography

The Westgate Hotel in downtown San Diego is the epitome of vintage elegance, making it the perfect venue for couples who love a mix of classic charm and modern sophistication. With its ornate chandeliers, gilded details, and European-inspired architecture, this venue creates a stunning backdrop for timeless wedding photography. Whether you’re planning a grand ballroom celebration or an intimate gathering, the Westgate’s luxurious ambiance ensures your wedding photos feel effortlessly romantic and refined.

As a San Diego wedding photographer, I love capturing the magic of weddings at the Westgate Hotel. From the elegant getting-ready suites to the breathtaking rooftop terrace, every corner of this venue offers a picture-perfect moment. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that blends old-world charm with contemporary romance, this might be the perfect place to say “I do!”

Here are a few of my favorite images—feel free to pin or leave a comment, I’d love to hear from you!
