Scripps Seaside Forum Wedding Photographer | La Jolla
Scripps Seaside Forum Wedding Photographer
Scripps Seaside Forum sits right on the sand at La Jolla Shores — a modern, award-winning oceanfront pavilion that is part of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. As a San Diego wedding photographer, I love that you can hold your ceremony on the beach and your reception steps away with the Pacific filling every window.
On the sand in La Jolla Shores
The Forum pairs a palm-lined tile veranda and clean glass architecture with direct beach access. Ocean-view rooms, an outdoor garden plaza and a sweep of open sand give you rare range for one venue — beach, veranda and modern interiors all in a few steps.
How we photograph a Scripps Seaside Forum wedding
We plan couple portraits for sunset over the water, use the veranda palms for warm shade during the day, and let the Pacific carry the color at golden hour. It is one of the best beachfront light shows in San Diego, so we build the timeline around it.
Planning tip
La Jolla Shores is a public beach, so we scout an angle that keeps portraits intimate and time the sunset window precisely — the sky here goes pink fast and it is worth being ready.
