San Diego Wedding Photographer | Orange Turtle Blog bio picture
  • Orange Turtle Photography Blog – San Diego Wedding Photographer, Bay Area Wedding Photographer

    Welcome! We are Cindy and Daniel and we are Orange Turtle Photography - San Diego Wedding Photographer, Bay Area Wedding Photographer.  We love taking pretty pictures of people, weddings, nature, and bunnies.  We also love the San Diego Chargers, hanging out with friends, eating sushi, swing dancing, and riding our folding bikes.

    A turtle is just a turtle until you give it color.  Once you give it color, all of a sudden the turtle has personality, emotion and life.  The turtle is now sun loving, ocean swimming, happy fun and fresh.  Color helps you feel. So we have a choice to leave the turtle just a turtle... or to give the turtle color.  That's exactly how we see wedding photography.  Feel. In. Color.

Vyvie & Tien * San Diego Engagement Session

I absolutely Vyvie and Tien’s engagement session! We actually met on a really gloomy, cloudy & chilly day.  The weather in San Diego has been so moody lately and it’s hard to predict if the sun will be out.  But the beautiful thing about shooting under gloomy weather is that you get this soft colors that give out an ethereal vibe.  It’s tender.  It’s romantic.  I just love how the images turned out.  :)

Pegga & Ka * San Diego Engagement Session

 

It was a cloudy, ‘cold’ day in San Diego. But that didn’t stop us and this adorable couple, Peggy and Ka, from having a good time!  I also think the softness of the light made the images extra dreamy. We absolutely adore this engagement session. Hope you’ll enjoy it!
