Luce Loft and Hotel Del Coronado Wedding and Elopement in San Diego

Photographing Elyssa and Bobby’s wedding was such an honor to be a part of! They tied the knot with nine of their closest family at the Luce Loft, and then we headed over to the Hotel Del Coronado for some sunset photos. 

The Luce Loft is a great venue if you are planning for a small intimate wedding. It is an old building in Downtown San Diego that they transformed into a wedding venue. I love it because they have exposed all the original cement walls which give it a rustic feeling. They also added an amazing wood door that makes for an amazing backdrop for the ceremony. Elyssa decorated it beautifully with candles and vine branches.

There is something so special about elopements that you can’t get from a big wedding, so much intimacy! To say it was beautiful would be an understatement. Elyssa and Bobby had about 6 people there and it was so amazing to see family come together still during an uncertain time and celebrate marriage and unity.

We made sure we timed the wedding so that we could get some bride and groom portraits at golden hour on the beach at the Hotel Del Coronado. Golden Hour at the Hotel Del Coronado is a perfect place for a wedding as it softens the ocean and beach for photos.

One of my favorite parts of this wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado was when I was able to take Elyssa and Bobby alone and so some couple shots.  It’s one thing to be with everyone you know and love on your wedding day, but it’s a whole other level when you get to see the bride and groom together alone for the first time as husband and wife.  Seeing them was definitely something special, you can see for yourself as you look through the photos.
