A quick edit of one of my shots from today. Congrats to @yenlinhhhh and Chris! And a another huge thank you to San Diego for the ridiculous sunset, thank you to @exoticgreengarden for being a clueless assistant and mobile @lightroom for the edit. #Wedding #weddingphotography #pauldphoto #nikon #d850 #weddingphotographer #socalphotographer #venturaphotographer #instalove #lovestory #weddingday #realwedding #carlsbad #bride #groom #magmodcommunity #madewithmagmod #ocf #weddingocf #magbox #maggrid #sandiego #sunset #weddingsunset #weddingportrait #weddingportraits #2020wedding @capereyweddings @capereycarlsbad

The winter brings out a moodier touch to my photos. With what I saw, I felt a James Bond/Godfather feel with Alex and ran with it. #Wedding #weddingphotography #pauldphoto #nikon #d850 #weddingphotographer #socalphotographer #venturaphotographer #instalove #lovestory #weddingday #realwedding #mastinlabs #lightroom #groom #ocf #weddingocf #madewithmagmod #magmod #magmodcommunity #whitetux

Congrats to Serena and Regan! Abusing that blue hour light and a perfect mountain silhouette. #Wedding #weddingphotography #pauldphoto #nikon #d850 #weddingphotographer #socalphotographer #venturaphotographer #instalove #lovestory #weddingday #realwedding #calamigosranch #calamigosranchwedding

Don’t waste sunsets in the fall. My favorite thing my dad asks me: Why are your photos always so dark?... Congrats to @lenamatviienko and Justin! #Wedding #weddingphotography #pauldphoto #nikon #d850 #weddingphotographer #socalphotographer #venturaphotographer #instalove #lovestory #weddingday #realwedding #sunset #bride #groom #mastinlabs #lightroom #bride #groom #ocf #weddingocf #californiasunset #magmod #madewithmagmod #magmodcommunity

Nothing against you if you don’t have a wedding dress with pockets, but if you have a wedding dress with pockets, we can definitely be friends. Shout out to all brides with pockets! It’s nice to know you know where your keys and phone are! @lenamatviienko ... #Wedding #weddingphotography #pauldphoto #nikon #d850 #weddingphotographer #socalphotographer #venturaphotographer #instalove #lovestory #weddingday #realwedding #bride #weddingdress #sigma #magmod #magmodcommunity #madewithmagmod #mastinlabs #exoticgreengarden

@brookie300 : Do you think we can toss my veil up? @pauldphoto : Hey @cams_digital_canvas_ , let’s setup for a flying veil shot... Brooke: ...He even has a name for it...... Paul: Congrats to Brooke & Chris (@_cbaek )! 10/10 never lets me down! #Wedding #weddingphotography #pauldphoto #nikon #d850 #weddingphotographer #socalphotographer #venturaphotographer #instalove #lovestory #weddingday #realwedding #backyardwedding #bride #groom #veil #sigma #sigmaart #ocf #ocfportraits #magmod #madewithmagmod #magmodcommunity #magmodweddingphoto #weddingportrait #flyingveil #justmarried #congratulations #perfecttiming #weddingdress

Back to back weddings in the same day with their dogs incorporated. Looks like a custom suit, definitely not a rental.

Pushing for a much more aggressive style after being inspired by a recent shoots by @defotograafsanne . Who do you follow on IG that sets your feed on fire? Loved getting to work with @daniellebaum.mua , @ruthbmedrano and @avericamille of @scoutmodelagency #westlakevillage #model #mua #muasupport #hair #magmod #magmodcommunity #madewithmagmod #hairstylist #makeupartist #makeup #collab

Had to pause editing to ingest a couple more weddings.

We need 20 seconds. Raced home after the wedding to get to work on this image. There really wasn’t much to work on since we (@cams_digital_canvas_ ) test shot this to perfection in about 2 minutes. After dialing in the ambient, a couple chimped flashes with grid and we had the couple on their way. Congrats to @vii.rachel.xvi and Eric! #Wedding #weddingphotography #pauldphoto #nikon #d850 #weddingphotographer #socalphotographer #venturaphotographer #instalove #lovestory #weddingday #realwedding #bride #indianbride #madewithmagmod #magmodcommunity #ocf #ocfportrait #red #magmodgrid #magmod #colorgel

Congrats to @bahar.vanessa and @theamazingdavidman As much as we love our nighttime shots, sunset works out when we can work quickly since that window is about 15 minutes long. Sometimes we can fake a sunset, but nothing beats the real thing. #Wedding #weddingphotography #pauldphoto #nikon #d850 #weddingphotographer #socalphotographer #venturaphotographer #instalove #lovestory #weddingday #realwedding #bride #groom #ocf #sunset #ocfportrait #magmod #madewithmagmod #magmodcommunity

Nothing is empowering as knowing how to defend yourself. BJJ has always been humbling and aligning. Also, what’s more fun than simulating murder with your best friends?

Almost done with the gallery, but I had to post this one. @tehila_la has a custom dress that fit *perfectly* #Wedding #weddingphotography #pauldphoto #nikon #d850 #weddingphotographer #socalphotographer #venturaphotographer #instalove #lovestory #weddingday #realwedding #bride #bridalportrait #bridalportraits #sigmaart #sigmaart85mm @exoticgreengarden #bouquet #bridalbouquet #weddingdress #weddingdressinspiration #bridalfashion

Does that suit move well? Huh? #Wedding #weddingphotography #pauldphoto #nikon #d850 #weddingphotographer #socalphotographer #venturaphotographer #instalove #lovestory #weddingday #realwedding #jump #groom #bride

My assistant and I started bringing headlamps for our wedding night time shoots. Not sure why I never though to do his before!

One my favorites from today. The ocean, like Mother Nature, is absolutely ruthless. Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor.... #blackandwhitephotography #ocean #surf #california #monochrome #ventura #sea

Not sure how @kyle_evo101 beat me to it, but here’s the IG teaser vid of him and @lyssamorgan90
