The Photographer Shares, 

“Dylan and Robin’s story begins in the City of Sin. Robin, with enough liquid courage, took it upon herself to approach Dylan and his friends who all had a defeated look on their faces during the last day of the trip. Their first date consisted of loud music, (unsuccessful) gambling, and sharing a platter of chicken nuggets. It was an instant connection. Dylan went back to New Jersey and Robin went back to Los Angeles, but the two were inseparable. Never missed a phone call, an opportunity to FaceTime or to have a virtual date night. One year after they met, the long distance days were over. Dylan packed his things and made the move to LA. The big day was everything they could have wanted and more. They were dead set on San Diego as it was the first IRL date location (post Vegas). They fell in love there so it held many special memories and bringing all their closest friends to the coolest city, can’t beat it!”

Where was the wedding location and the venue details? Why did you choose it? 

“We picked Venue 808 in Downtown San Diego as it fit our vision perfectly. Our first date spot was at Kettner Exchange, so we wanted to bring that vibe into our day! Which meant good food, good vibes, and a great atmosphere that was unique. Being located in Downtown San Diego, it was also extremely convenient for people to get to, which was a huge factor for us. We didn’t want anyone to worry about driving, and wanted to give everyone the ability to walk around and explore. We love the city feel and knew everyone would love it as much as we do!”

Any advice for future brides? 

“Live in the moment! Don’t let anything get to you and don’t spend energy worrying. You’re marrying your absolute best friend, so don’t let anything get in your way. The bride also sets the tone for the dance floor and energy, so if you want it to be a party – BRING IT!”
